It's not bashing. It's telling a hopeful writer that you need to do GOOD research for a topic, especially one that's so against what is accepted in the mainstream.

Yes, but you're putting down the subject presented, which isn't much better, imo.

The OP of this thread referred to something that is widely regarded as fact as "crackpot", therefore "bashing" the conjecture of others. The subject wasn't his belief in God, it was his disbelief in The Big Bang (e.g. the title of this thread!).

Not really. The original poster said, in the very same breath, that he hadn't done any research on the subject but somehow knew that the big bang theory was a "crackpot" one.

Let's all "praise the Lord" that your opinion doesn't hold much power, then.

When people start dismissing scientific theory on the basis of opinion, they have gone wrong somewhere.

Big Bang Theory could very well be a verifiable fact. There is only evidence for the Big Bang. This is why it is classified as a theory. For those of you who think that "theory" means "unsubstantiated inference" then you are wrong. Theory is something that is widely held as true but has not been conclusively proven or dismissed.

Get a textbook and stop assuming that your opinions can control those of others when you have no idea who they are and what they believe.

The dictionary defines a theory as, " An assumption based on limited information or knowledge; a conjecture." Creationism is a theory, too. And there is evidence backing it. But you don't want to look at that evidence. I won't get into it. As I said, I don't need another debate.

ProudestMonkey

Sounds more like "You don't know it, I don't know it - let's not talk about it!"
And if you don't need another debate, stop mumbling Creationist thoughts and then running away without explaining yourself.

lawl! sorry that made me laugh.

fair enough, if might not be true. but you slag it with clearly no understanding of it at all! nevermind laternitives son, learn about the big bang BEFORE you slate it.

i've read some other theroies that weren't the big bang, but... erm... none of them involve god waving his hands.

try super-string theroy. dark engery theroy (the expansion of the universe).

can't think of anymore right now.

but eh.. good luck.

unfortunetly... no it isn't. you can't prove it... unless you saw it.

so like the evolution of humans, it will ever reanaim a theroy... whither it be the most plausible, it made be sucseded at some point.

The dictionary is not a scientific document. It's not a difficult concept. Creationism is a hypothesis, not even close to being a theory. Don't list things created from outside secularism to discredit things that are. Here, just the basics:

Hypothesis- Conjecture

Theory- Beyond Reasonable Doubt

Law- Fact...

Not difficult, creationists need to get it through their thick skulls that, on a scientific scale, Creationism is a hypothesis.

nineteen - if you act bigoted toward an idea not your own, that, to me, makes your beliefs less reputable.

I agree with you, Creationism is hard to believe - and I don't. But what I said still stands. Why would you hate it?...

Maybe pity, but not hate.
