and there goes adam and eve, and the best selling fiction novel in history "the bible." Science dont lie but people do, and over the years humans have evolved to become amazing bullshiters guess martin luther made bulls***ing a career since he was not smart enough to be a scientist nor nothing more than a peasant..its like obama taking advice from people off skid row
---
Some day one of the last remaining bibles will sit in a Museum of history somewhere and people will marvel at how their ancestors worshipped it's fictional stories the way we do the ancient greeks and egyptians.

I love science. Big bang theory ftw. Its ok religion you can take a rest now. Let the big kids handle this!
---
Sorry creationists, but scientists just found the "smoking gun" that shows how the Big Bang happened.

There are other examples I could cite but I doubt any of them are any more qualified to follow every single detail of recent discoveries than the above knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing, anti-religious zealots are.
I'm not saying I follow every single nuance of recent big bang discoveries myself, you understand. Far from it. The difference though is (A) I admit it and (B) I'm calling other people out for pretending to have an expertise I suspect is sadly lacking if their rambling, semi-conscious Facebook posts are anything to judge by. Why, you might say I'm observing and interpreting evidence to formulate my conclusion. But enough of this heavy "science" stuff I know will only confuse them.
Now, you might doubt me on the above. If you do, ask ANY of the sudden big bang cheerleaders to explain cosmic microwave background light and the role that played in this recent discovery with emphasis on inflation.
Yeah, let me know how that goes.
Anyway, ultimately the principle of the big bang theory is this: the universe had a beginning. Really, that's it. It's that simple. Yes, there are nuanced and intricate analyses to be made, many of which are kind of interesting to some people. But ultimately that's what the big bang theory tells us. The universe had some kind of starting point.
Since it's been singled out, I feel I should say that Christianity has acknowledged that much from the get-go. It should be noted that it was "mainstream science" that was uncomfortable with the universe having a solid starting point rather than perpetual existence favored by most of the scientific community precisely because of what might be implied about Who exactly lit the fuse of the big bang. Religious people who understand the simple principle of the big bang theory (ie, the universe didn't exist one moment but then did the next moment) weren't and aren't uncomfortable with the proposition. It was "mainstream science" that took a lot of convincing on the matter.
And eventually (at gunpoint, against their will, as a last resort and only when all other options failed) mainstream science ultimately did acquiesce and accept simple fact.
So all the non-believers and anti-religious bigots doing end zone dances right now? They're the same ones a century ago who would've been horrified at the very discoveries and theories they're now shouting with glee from the rooftops.
Even so, I'm prepared to be the bigger man in this case. And so I'd like to thank the science-denying, non-believing, anti-religious whackjobs for putting aside their pride (not to mention over a century of resistance to progress) and agreeing with my God, my prophets, my holy text and me in our shared belief that the universe had a firm starting point. Better late than never, guys!
"For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance, he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries."
