John_w, with all respect but, you cannot be serious about linking religion with science. Western culture is rated one step ahead compared to religious ruled states because of the Enlightment (I'm not native English, not sure if I spelled it right). Enlightment brought forward the seperation between church and state and the seperation between church and science. Religion should be considered as a guideline to live well and find strength in hard times. Ignoring that rule brings you back before the evolutionary step of the Enlightment (symbolically introduced by the French Revolution in 1789... 1789!).
I would go even further and say that if America was ruled by people that think like you, it would be a more powerful "ash of evil" than Iran, that is ruled by the Sharia, muslim law... Please stop believing all the 'science' in the Bible!

I don't consider myself a big bang theory believer, but, I think it's much more likely than "god did it"
"Don't you all realize, god created the world throughe evolution. The scientific proof of evolution is there."
Ok, so, where's the proof?
"But where else could we have come from if not god?"
I don't know, but, just because I don't know doesn't mean I'm going to make up an explanation.

First of all no one believes in the Big Bang like religious zealots believe in God. Rather, we THEORIZE based on the best of our testable abilities that the universe as we know it came from a big bang event. Secondly, isn't it a little too convenient that God (as the zealots believe him to be) cannot be tested through known scientific methods. Why is that? How about answering a scientific question scientifically rather than hiding behind the excuse "God isn't meant to be known." The universe as it is has demonstrated that it is an extremely dangerous place to be, so why would a loving God make it that way? Why would he make a universe where microbes evolve before our very eye's every year when a new flu season emerges? Why would he make us so intelligent so as to be able to detect such occurrences? For once in 50,000 years I'd like to see a religious zealot admit that they have no scientific basis for their faith based dogma. By the way, I am a spiritualist, my god is a part of the universe, not the creator of it, he's much too humble to stake that claim and he leads by example.

EXACTLY. Nothing about the big bang or evolution theories discredits God's role in the universe. Scientists who study these theories aren't sitting there saying, "because this happened, there must be no God." If anything, the big bang theory should be a rally cry to faith and evolution is just God's way of molding clay.

There was space before the big bang. The big bang is the emergence of time from/outof space in an ultrarapid but nevertheless continuous manner. On a human time scale, the big bang was very much a sudden, explosive origin of space, time, and matter. But look very, very closely at that first tiny fraction of a second and you find that there was no precise and sudden beginning at all. So here we have a theory of the origin of the universe that seems to say two contradictory things: First, time did not always exist; and second, there was no first moment of time. Such are the oddities of quantum physics.

Dear, you "see" the wrong view!
A believer does not accept the Big Bang Theory, as a matter of fact, believers are not able to see any theories, they just believe!
Also, who admits that god told to us, you or anyone that science is true or not?
Who claims have heard any god talking about physics, sciences, etc.?
In the middle ages, inquisition was attacking, burning, etc., those scientists who were creative, inventive and so on and church had not accepting those theories!
Church was not accepting that Earth was spherical and not the center of the Universe! Now does church claim that Big Bank is an evil discovery?

Now, see I thought you were going for the real question with Big Bang - which of course is "If we came from the big bang, how did those celestial bodies come to be?" That's the one that, of course, no big banger can really say.
Big Bang is supported scientifically all the way back to that, in my opinion. Of course it is the same spot that usually hangs up creationists "If god created everything, where did he come from?"
The Unknowable - still unknown.

I would believe that if we could establish some evidence that god exists. That will never happen, because he doesn't exist. I don't believe in flying angels with halos and sky pixies who tap their wand and say "poof", and create an entire universe. Some things just can't be explained. If we don't even have the intelligence to produce a cure for cancer, then we obviously don't yet have the intelligence to explain every last question of how we came into existence.

It's hard to dialogue with someone as close-minded as you are on this subject. We can argue until the end of the world to see whether there is a deity up there or not, to see how the world got here, but whichever way, I won't get much further in life.
I believe science can now explain what religion myths did explain when science was not very advanced. I don't believe in your deity, so I'll never believe it created me, now, will I?

We don't have the necessary technology to comprehend everything about Human existence just yet, it's just like in Biblical times when we didn't know where we came from, or in the Pilgrim times when we didn't know the world was a spheriod. All Humans need is more time, and better technology to work out all the little details.
We're only human, give us a break.
