    We could say that God created the universe with a Big Bang. Then we all can agree on the Big Bang, unless someone prooves the Big Bang to be wrong.

And then some.

    Point being, even a teeny tiny risk of damning my children to hell makes it worthwhile not to have them in order to spare them from eternal suffering.

    THUS, the concept of hell is contrary to human survival. Becaue my this logic, no would ever have children and the human race would end.

    People always think that Flying Spaghetti Monsterism is only a joke. I think that's unfair and rather ignorant.

    Apparently we are seen as more of a joke - satire, if you will - than a real religion. I, for one, am offended. I feel that my constitutionally guaranteed freedom of religious belief is being unfairly discriminated against.
    -Our prophet.

    This is the time that I reveal my real religion: I'm a pastafatiran(sp?). We beleive that if schools teach ID, then they should also give an equal amount of time to our theory.

    We even have a chart that shows that the number of pirates is related to the amount of global warming. In other words, the rising global temperature is a direct result of not enough people dressing in his holy garb.

    But I'm sure that most of you have heard this already. Why do you think that our God is the false one?

    Correct me if I'm wrong ,but wasn't the big bang just a theory?
    It's not yet been proven, true?

    Big bang: first there was nothing, and then that blew up as well.

    The Big Bang Theory is the dominant scientific theory about the origin of the universe. According to the big bang, the universe was created sometime between 10 billion and 20 billion years ago from a cosmic explosion that hurled matter and in all directions.

    In 1927, the Belgian priest Georges Lemaître was the first to propose that the universe began with the explosion of a primeval atom. His proposal came after observing the red shift in distant nebulas by astronomers to a model of the universe based on relativity. Years later, Edwin Hubble found experimental evidence to help justify Lemaître's theory. He found that distant galaxies in every direction are going away from us with speeds proportional to their distance.

    The big bang was initially suggested because it explains why distant galaxies are traveling away from us at great speeds. The theory also predicts the existence of cosmic background radiation (the glow left over from the explosion itself). The Big Bang Theory received its strongest confirmation when this radiation was discovered in 1964 by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, who later won the Nobel Prize for this discovery.

    Although the Big Bang Theory is widely accepted, it probably will never be proved; consequentially, leaving a number of tough, unanswered questions.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    I believe that in the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry, and has been widely regarded as a bad idea.




    Heh, honestly I believe that the origin of the universe is one of the many mysteries of God.

    This is actually pretty close to what I think.

    The Big Bang was created as a christian explanation to how the universe was created, and it was initially opposed by many who saw it as an extension of religiousity in science. In fact, the Catholic church has officially accepted it as compatible with The Bible.
