I'm comfortable with never knowing how the universe started or what was before that.
If we evolved on some other planet, billions of years in the future, the conditions that led us to believe in the Big Bang would not be present and we would still discover heaps of ways to prove the (inevitable) god freaks wrong.
Just like we do now.
Probably in a couple of hundred years we'll both be proven wrong and some alternative answer will present itself only to be proven wrong again one hundred years later.
What strikes me is the way that theists try to understand a scientific point of view.
It must be hard to be open minded and defensive at the same time.
The first story with the backwards water may have been inaccurate, but it did help me to understand how the question makes no sense.
I liked it, thanks. :-)
