Re: The Big Bang is Un-Scientific
Words created by God, of course. Haven't you heard of the Tower of Babel?
That is true. But that's what science is, too. When I was young, geologists had faith that the continents were fixed on the surface of the Earth. Now they say the continents move around on plates. So, what exactly was the new empirical evidence available between 1960 and 1980 that caused the geologists to change their minds? The answer is there wasn't any. Volcanoes and earthquakes aren't exactly new. So much for science being empiricism rather than faith.
In another 25 years, they'll probably going to say that the continents float around on helium balloons.
BTW, if science is really based on empiricism, why are you science types so set against the teaching of creationism? What in Heaven's name is wrong with presenting all hypotheses, and all of the evidence, and letting children make up their own minds? Isn't that what your precious empiricism is all about?

Faith hinges on an unshakable belief devoid of empirical evidence.
