Even if the big bang turns out to be false, it's not a religion.
If it does fall out, I guess the steady state theory comes back and that's the worst case scenario for any believer since an eternal universe doesn't need a creator at all.

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?"

SimonPang it's the universe/space itself that was that small. It wasn't all the matter compacted into 1 point in space itself. So it's space that expanded and is still expanding...

Mind if I ask when did science discover something that substantiates biblical accounts?

Yes, but all the matter also had to be compressed down to a singularity. And while space is expanding, so too is all the matter in it flying away from the other matter.
Then one night while asleep, he had a dream interrupted by God who told my friend basically to knock off his activity because it was people's faith that was important. My friend asked God a few questions, one of them "Why there was so much evil in the world", the answer he got was something like "Reality (or the world) is like my (God's) dream, and just as a nightmare can't exist without the dreamer, evil can't exist without me (God)".
Yeah I see darkside is and always has been antagonistic towards ID Christianity etc.

The problem with atheists is that they cannot grasp alternate thought. They would rather believe either that the universe always was (makes them comfortable), or that it magically just appeared one day, got itself all organized, and self created life, and all this from nothing at all. That's majic too.
So you see, these atheists that keep slamming Christians, do so because they see the Bible validated every time a scientific revelation comes about. I think they actually really believe in majic. I coudn't figure this out for the longest time untill now. Their scientific ideas are all just hocus-pocus ala-kazam! Can you imagine what it must be like going through life never being able to have any certain answers to anything at all? How sad that is. I guess if I had to live like that I would be an angry atheist too.
BTW, I support the Big Bang theory for it is written (in the Bible) that God "stretched forth the heavens..."

And you believe that a everlasting bearded wizard created the universe out of nothing, that his son was magically born without a father, that he magically multiplied bead and fish before he was killed by mortals to absorb all the evil of the world. You see anyone can ridicule anything.

Which scientific discoveries validate what the bible says? And I don't get where you find this "angry atheist" thing, i'm not angry at anyone..

You'll find that a scientific theory is a whole more complex than "god stretched forth the heavens", which can be interpreted in a thousand ways... Funny how you call science hocus pocus and then say your support the big bang theory only because of a verse of the bible.
