    It's amazing that people still pay any attention to old mythology at all.

    I can't believe they are still trying to teach the BB theory in schools:confused:
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.

    Teaching it as a theory would be fine I suppose...nothing wrong with knowning some of the possible explanations, but teaching it as fact would seem a little irresponsible.

    I didn't realize we had so many astro-physicists on this board! I'd love to hear your theories :)

    The Big Bang Theory is called the Big Bang Theory for a reason - it's an educated guess by many smart people about what could have happened at the start of the universe. Even the people who thought it up never said it was fact.

    Considering the state of our educational system, I have a feeling kids aren't getting that deeply into physics and astrology.

    It has always puzzled me why people separate science from religion. Religion is the ultimate science. The word "science" means "to know." What can be more scientific than knowing how the world was created or knowing the purpose of life or knowing what happens after you die?

    The "ends" may be the same, it's the means that are polar opposites. Religion - all religion- is based on faith. Believing something you cannot otherwise know to be true. Science is the search for proof of things so you can know they're true. So while in the end you're just looking for answers, the ways you find them are not compatible.

    No, not all religions are based on faith.

    Religion and science are both a search for answers to the same questions. Religion includes God in its answers (which is often perceived as unscientific) whereas science mainly excludes God (which is often perceived as aetheistic). Whether God is part of the answer or not isn't the issue I'm addressing. I'm simply saying that the process to arrive at these answers must be scientific (i.e., a logical one). It's obvious that there is intelligent design in the universe, so to understand it requires an intelligent (read: scientific) approach. In other words, the world is not designed by faith, so we need a scientific appraoch to make sense of it all.

    Where in religion do they cover questions subjects like chemical reactions, or better yet gravity?

    I'm speaking in broad terms. I meant the vitally important questions most people actually give a **** about.
