The problem is the IRS, They spend all that money and time persecuting innocent citizens to further the totalitarian administration.
Obviously you missed the point. You are now using science to refute science, and I never mentioned god. You also missed the point of the big bang. Not just a bang. The best science has it that nothing existed before the bang. Nothing, not matter, not space, not time. Nothing. And even if it did, It might as well have not existed because whatever it was, if indeed it was anything, it can have no effect on what happens after the bang. This is cosmology, and it's usually a little more science than most pop scientists are used to. I'm a scientist, not a very religious person. I am insulted by pop scientist posing as real scientists and trying to "prove" that, not only is there no god, but if one thinks that there is, then one must be a snake handling rube stump jumper. I didn't say that god created the big bang. Only that it is interesting to ponder. I don't know. I probably won't ever know, and I doubt that humans will ever know. I think it is profound arrogance to assume we even can know. We must try to find out, but be in awe of what we do not know. I once had a physics teacher who told me, "never be positive that you are right, always be open to new information. What I see in this argument is that only the fringe psuedo-scientists, and the fundamental religious think that there is an argument. Yes there are closed minds on both sides. You assume that I am arguing for creationism, and against evolution. They argue that in high school now, and it's hard to even frame that without chuckling. Was there evolution ? Yes likely. Was Darwin right? Yes Mostly. Does this mean that everything was not created by a non-human entity. It's not even the same argument. Was the world created 2k years ago or whatever ? No. What happened at the big bang? Einstein was without a doubt probably the most intelligent human ever to inhabit the earth and his second most famous contribution is the aphorism, "God doesn't play dice with the universe."
But where did all this come from? you said it yourself, it's all too beautiful to be a coincindence. Forget the flood and the 4k years, those are really straw men. Nothing existed before the bang. Get it ? Nothing, not even time, this is the best of contemporary science. Then bang, time and space and matter and light all at once. Sound familiar ? Laugh at the rubes all you want, but deep down you also believe that god started it all.
