Once upon a time, some ‘very clever’ scientists got together to ‘decide’ how the universe began. They already ‘knew’ that the idea of a Supernatural Creator, whom they could not see, feel, hear or touch was a preposterous fairy story which insulted their intelligence.
One of the the many problems that arose in their discussions, was that 96% of the universe had apparently gone missing. They agreed this was puzzling. Then one bright spark had a brainwave; “cold, dark matter,” what’s that? the others asked. “It’s the missing part of the universe” he exclaimed, “we can’t see it, touch it, hear it or feel it and we don’t know what it is made of, but we know it’s there.” “Wow! we’ve cracked it,” Said the others, “It’s amazing what ‘science’ can achieve through logical reasoning.” “Let’s sock it to the public."
Anyone want to borrow my copy of Alice in wonderland?

Not all Atheists believe in the big bang. While it is one of the lesser scientific theories, there is still many pieces of evidence to support it, or it would not be a scientific theory.
Evolution on the other hand, has thousands of pieces of evidence and is considered scientific fact. Macro evolution as a whole can not be promoted to a principle for obvious reasons, but the premises is undebatable fact.
Does this disprove a creator? No. Does this disprove any of the creators that the human mind has made up? Yes.
Agnosticism = The only logical choice.

Yeah stay faraway from Disney, aside the actual incontrovertible truth that Aristocats isn't a fairy tale, they could sue you, ha! ;) why not locate a lesser favourite fairy tale? That way you may have extra imaginitive freedom and could little question practice originality.

So... you don't believe in "science".
Okey doke.
The rest of the civilized world does. Join us some time.
Meanwhile, understand that scientists, and atheists, have never claimed to know everything. That is the domain of religion, you see.
We don't have all the right answers. We're trying to find them.
But we definitely DO know what all the wrong answers are. They were written in a mythology book a few thousand years ago. Some people just don't want to let go of their comforting fantasies.

What is this? have you need for the definition of a scientific theory & a fictional story? Next time you think of either just look a little closer at your explanation for life & creation. poof it was just there you have no need to criticize our beliefs, they are no more crazy than yours. Now the ark story come on give me a break & some of you think that really happened. until then leave me alone unless you happen to have some kind of real evidense supporting what you beleive then perhaps I may be willing to consider your fairy tales to be logical

Why do scientists need to know absolutely everything NOW. Are you saying that science is utterly wrong because there are still things we don't understand? That is an incredibly ignorant thing to say. It's like saying all medicine is rubbish because we can't cure cancer. Just because we don't know the answer now it doesn't mean we never will. I don't see how saying "the universe runs on magic, which God controls - to question this is to deny God" is a rational thing to say at all. You can believe in physics and still believe in God.

And thats why dark matter is a a scientific theory, it fits in with observed facts about the universe, if we get more evidence we will update the theory, thats how science works, get an education.

Religion will die out as science and reason become the guiding forces of human developement. Thus it would be fair to assume as we devlope as a species, religion will inevitably become a distraction for the misguided few who need the omnipitent 'god' to give meaning to their pointless live.

I hope you aren't referring to the Big Bang.
You DO know the Big Bang Theory was created by a Catholic Priest, right? I mean you knew that, right?

Actually, dark matter can be noticed by its gravitational effect, much like you can tell there's a hidden spring by the plants growing around it.
