God vs Big Bang- Are either correct?

[FatAndFaithless]

No, it's not a commonly held opinion, it's your fantasy of what science says. Stop. Creating. Strawmen. It's possibly the most annoying thing you can do on a forum like this. We have smart people here, ask us what we believe, don't tell us.

Ok, if you think I'm misunderstanding, please clarify. What do you believe is the currently held opinion in science with regard to the origins of the universe?

Your reading comprehension sucks.

Nobody here holds those opinions, either, and yet, you appear to want to argue with us as if we do.

Oh, and thanks - I really appreciate you telling me that I don't have to participate in your threads. Seriously dude, I'm an administrator on staff here. I'm trying to improve *your* experience here. You can start by ceasing to argue against positions that nobody holds.

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.

Takes 10 seconds to google man...

To take the first snippet

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..
