Still chuckling over that comment.Â* You really pegged Simon.

Does it bother you that one of the greatest scientists
of our time is a Christian and he posited the Big Bang theory?
The Big Band has a ton of fascinating research and history in it.

As with everything in science, it is a moving target: today's truths
are always tomorrows falsehoods.Â* In a hundred of so years or less,
the Big Band will probably be replaced with something else, as
will be Evolution.

The Big Bang does not explain why the universe is accelerating and
expanding.Â* The Lord is more cleaver than we will ever be able
to imagine.

I love to heard Simon struggle over pronouncing "controversy"
and "glacier".

What parts did you find "specious"?

All religion is by nature specious.
If you'd been born in a Muslim country to Muslim parents, you'd be
praying to allah 5 times a day, if you were born to Buddhist parents
then you'd not pray to any gods.

Most religious people are indoctrinated by their parents and upbringing
and they blindly follow.


Does this make the Big Bang "specious" too.

No. Do we take children shortly after birth to be baptized in a
Big Bang church? Send them to Sunday school to be indoctrinated with
the Big Bang? Tell them they are going to hell if they don't believe
in the Big Bang? It's precisely the opposite. Scientists will agree
that the Big Bang is just a theory, the best one that we have at the
moment. With religion, it's exactly the opposite, it's insistence on
believing in something based on pure faith, to deny the factual evidence that
continues to come up that shows it's all made up nonsense.





By the way, I was born to a pagan (Mormon) and a
Roman Catholic. The holy spirit lead me to the
Ancient Apostolic (Orthodox) church.

My parents did not take it too well. (But, since
they were not Muslims, they did not murder me.)


Lucky for you their particular screwy religion didn't provide for that.





Your argument is a bad one. A lot of folks are converts
to Christianity. A lot born into it leave it.

And "blindly" is your viewpoint of what you do not
understand. There is a lot of "feedback". It is not
a "theoretical" belief.
