Of course you can really believe in the creation of the universe.
Draw a big circle on a piece of paper. Inside that circle represents all the knowledge there is, was and will be.
Now, color in how much knowledge you have.
Did you color in all of it? If not, why not?
Is it because you don`t know it all?
Well then now you can go to the bible and read the first book.
Genesis chapter 1. In the beginning..............

Science is the process by which humans try to understand and explain the universe around us, whether it is bacteria or the workings of living things or the planet earth or deep space. The basic process works like this: observe something; guess an explanation; test the explanation through observations or experiments; analyze the data; figure out whether your explanation was right or not; share the results with others for cross checking and confirmation. It is designed to allow us to gain new knowledge where it didn't exist before. It is certainly true that humans have thought of ideas and thoeries long before they had the tools and technology to test them. In the case of deep space, no we haven't been there and are not going there any time soon. However we do receive information from these places constantly in the form of light and other form of EM radiation so scientists do have some basis for the theories they come up with. The theories don't really require belief - they either work or they don't. They are accepted as part of our knowledge while they work and fit the observed facts. When something new is discovered they are either modified or completely changed. If you consider that the leaps and bounds we have made in the field of medicine are the end results of science then the benefits of science are pretty obvious. Just because the knowledge is further removed from the average joe's experience (such as astronomy) doesn't make it less valid. In the long run the existence of the human race may be dependent on our knowledge of space.

I read somewhere, some time ago that we do not really have much to go on. It was, supposedly similar to theorising about the earth if we had only one grain of sand to study. In one of Stephen Hawking's book he had a picture titled, "Where we can see". The picture depicted planet earth and showed where the astronomers could observe the universe. I, for one, was surprised by how much of our view is blocked.
So there is an assumption of homogeneity that is made to make up for the areas we cannot observe. That's ok with me. And I would hope that no one would expect all thinking on the subject to stop waiting for more data.
I think, perhaps what would be good for you to accept is that the theories put forth are not presented as a fact similar to, "The earth is round, not flat". These theories are really put forth to be tested and retested as new observations are made, and as new data is gathered.
When the Hubble telescope was added to the astonomer's arsenal of equipment, some theories were disproven, some were proven and new theories had to be put forth for things that had not been seen before. This will most likely continue for a looong time.
Another way of considering this I got the other day from a fellow-Y!answer poster. He said this: "The theories are not put forth to be believed or dis-believed; they are put forth to be understood or not understood." I really also like adding the little statement, "and also to be tested and retested".
And maybe this could be topped off with something like, "without the faintest hope of ever actually knowing". This last part is, of course, tounge in cheek and a big LOL.
Albert Einstein once said something like,"Man does not know one thousandth of a percent about anything." Gee, where's that leave the rest of us.
Keep reading and studying as it is fun to use the old noggin on imaginative subjects, realizing your ideas have a good a chance as any of being understood.
I don't feel it's a matter of exaggeration more like imagination. Where it starts taking on a negative feel with me is when the imagination gets a little overactive and
when conjuration pokes its nose in I am really turned off.

It is a theory.
If it is proved then it is true, if unproved then it is call hypothesis. Hypothesis are generaly accepted as true, unless prove wrong in future.
Lots of science fiction stuff turned out to be true and some is and was untrue, to start with, but stated as fact to build a science fiction strory base on known false assumeptions and still accepted by others, knowingly or unknowingly, the most accepted impossible thing is "time travel".
1. You cannot see things, that has not happend yet.
2. you can not go back on time no matter what, since time goes forward only, it is considered an "Absolute Dimention".

I know it's hard to believe but most of the discoveries found have truth in them.
Maybe beyond that is just fake .As i don't believe that there are more than 1000 planets like earth on which life exist!!!
That's really so shocking ! And Scientists say that the UFOs and other unknown flying objects come from there.

Well, when you look up at night, what do you see? STARS! and that means that they are there. Also, in the Bible, Genesis 1:1, it says, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth..." "heavens" in this sense, means not only the sky, but also the stars and galaxies. You mentioned that you believe the world is round. How do you know that? Unless you go out on the moon, and look at earth for yourself, you willl never know. But personally, i'd rather live my life trusting in my awesome Creator and believing that He made the stars and moon and galaxies, because without faith, we have nothing.

Well, yeah, you're partially right. Blackholes have never actually been observed, but it's a rudimentary aspect of astrophysics that they should exist. But isn't traingulation for calculating distances not accurate beyond a certain point? Same with carbon dating as I understand. It does bother me that pop-science tends to overstate what actual science has proven. Dark matter and dark energy are not too far removed from metaphysics, yet they're treated as factual by pop-science. The same holds true, even in biology. Look at the way we research pharmaceuticals; it's like a game of blindfolded darts. Listen to anti-depressant commercials: "it is not yet know how [blah blah blah] works, though it is thought...".

the universe IS potential. there is no area previous the universe. the universe IS area and it rather is time. on the huge bang there became no time or area. so which you do no longer could say it has continuously been there. because of the fact till now the huge bang went bang there became no time for there to be a till now. in spite of the undeniable fact that, there would have been a "till now" whence there became time and universe that probably collapsed into the source of the huge bang. you may desire to assert that this would reason a bouncing aside back, like throwing a ball interior the air that's going to first provide up for a cut up 2nd and then fall back. (so for a "cut up" 2nd there could be no time, yet that cut up 2nd is likewise infinitely long, it rather is undying) area isn't countless because of the fact the universe isn't. neither is time, it began and one way or yet another that's going to end. it is not so basic as galaxies shifting faraway from a focal element. because of the fact the area they are in became component of that focal element. that's like in case you have a set of raisins in dough, you smush up right into a ball and then stretch it out, the dough being area and the raisins being galaxies because of the fact the dough stretches the galaxies unfold appart. so it is not in basic terms the galaxies shifting appart that's area strectching and scaling down and the galaxies are component of that. (in spite of the undeniable fact that for the period of this :"stretching out" the galaxies have been formed, they weren't continuously there like the raisins interior the dough, as you reported you may no longer make or injury potential, each little thing is potential E=MC^2 is the share at which count is potential {potential=mass x the fee of sunshine squared} so the raisins are inevitably made out of dough and vice versa in basic terms as each little thing interior the universe you may think of is.)

The universe is a closed dynamic value evolution and replication system. All forms move from dense matter to ethereal essence via energy displacement governed by principles of intelligence that focus the will of awareness into a system of value reproduction and value evolution. The state of Godhood and total awareness is at the end of the evolutionary cycle of the universe and the state of density and sleep is at the beginning of the cycle of creation.
Creation is the qualities or quality of Godhood focused by the will of divine principle into a collection of assembling mental units of thought. This process continues to disassemble and reassemble mental units of thought for the purpose of achieving advanced orders of thinking that will result in evolving the sleeping dense matter to a point where it will cross barriers separating dimensions of creation until all creation is transformed into the absolute state of God.
Our biggest hang-up in civilization is that we insist on separating the ideas of GOD and EVOLUTION. Our sciences will not do us true justice until it drops this separation, and our religions will not serve the truth until they drop it.

I feel that if you believe then let it be that way, if you don't then let it be that way. It depends on your believes. I personally say there are more things than we have discovered. Like, we have known the planets, we or some people know there are aliens and many other stuff. who knows, there may be more to come.
