I'm not trying to argue. I'm asking what people's perspectives are on some new revelations of science and how it influences their confidence in their position. BTW, imo your're not doing a good job of improving my experience here by being insulting.

To take the first snippet
Quote:The Big Bang Model is a broadly accepted theory for the origin and evolution of our universe. It postulates that 12 to 14 billion years ago, the portion of the universe we can see today was only a few millimeters across. It has since expanded from this hot dense state into the vast and much cooler cosmos we currently inhabit. We can see remnants of this hot dense matter as the now very cold cosmic microwave background radiation which still pervades the universe and is visible to microwave detectors as a uniform glow across the entire sky.
The big bang theory says nothing about what was before the big bang, nobody says that the big bang "created everything out of nothing". I'd use the word strawman but it's already been used so often in your threads..
Ok, I appreciate your clarification. It is not claimed that it started as nothing, from what you posted I now understand it is believed to have started as something extremely small that existed in it's smallness for all the time prior to the bang and then just "banged" with no cause. Am I correct now?
