People dismiss religion but cling to the big bang theory.
A theory that any scientist will admit has a lot of unanswered questions. And that is all it is a theory.
People dismiss a scientific theory that has been well documented and mathematically proven but cling to yet one more mythological explanation of the origins of our universe.
Here is the Wikipedia entry on the Big Bang. I refer you to it because it is an explanation as simplified it gets on the Internet. It is also well documented, so any question you might have as to sources can be easily answered. Big Bang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Big Bang is a scientific theory, which is very different from a simple theory, and has been mathematically postulated up to but not including the actual event.

I have no qualms with the big bang theory, nor do I believe for a second that things in the bible like the world being created in 7 days, Adam and Eve, etc. to be literal. I do believe however that there is something beyond this life, beyond what science can understand, and don't dismiss that belief because it has yet to be 'proven'. I fully accept that there are things beyond my understanding, and I think it's arrogant of anyone to think we already have all the answers.

i had read somewhere that a day to god is like a thousand years to us so that would mean the world was created in 7 thousand years i guess
It's space-time. Disregarding hyper-inflation that happened for a very brief period directly after the big bang, the universe is speeding up as we go along. I'm not saying that's evidence for 7,000 years or whatever but the fabric of space-time is stretching, faster now than in the universe's infancy.
Ok darwin and religions students assuming we came from apes we have no proof how life came to be. If we had a big bang THEORY how did that come about and I really don't think teascopes are now seeing is believing.
Guesses are not fact. If the bang was able to produce such energy and create our galaxies and billions of stars and planets we are we so sure we evolved from apes. Any reason we can't just be something and unquie. Seems to me we have chaos in the universe which is also orderly and designed.
The planets rotation, gavity, all animals, fish, and the universe. Christians don't like darwin because science destorys the bibles idea of creation. Science doesnt like god or religions ideas of creation because it doesn't use facts and figures. Both science and the bible's ideas come from MAN, Man wrote and ideas based on faith or science but are still mankinds failed attempts at putting the unknown into boxes.
Mankind has consistantly been wrong and we have no idea about the forces and energy that bind our univere together.
Mankind once thought the earth was made in 6 days, the world was once flat, the sun revolved around the earth. Everyone was a witch and need to be burned at the stake. Science still doesnt know if milk is good for you, eggs are bad for you, how much water you really should drink.
It comes to mankind is flawed in all its ideas and sometimes briliant ideas we still have much to learn assuming we make that long to learn anything.

Do you not go any where on the Internet other than c-d? I love anthropology. They find some of the most fascinating items on their dig sites. It is through anthropology I began to follow other interests.
Any way, here is they and here is what this means.
A challenge in detecting signals of gene flow between Neandertals and modern human ancestors is that the two groups share common ancestors within the last 500,000 years, which is no deeper than the nuclear DNA sequence variation within present-day humans. Thus, even if no gene flow occurred, in many segments of the genome, Neandertals are expected to be more closely related to some present-day humans than they are to each other (20).
The op mentions Chaos. There is another write up from another scientist that talks about the Chaos of the Universe. My interest there is the power of magnetic pull of the sun.

Couldn't agree with you more. I think it's arrogant of anyone to think that their religion has all the answers.
Mankind is dumb. Man wrote the bible, text books, science books, and mankind is flawed.
That doesn't mean we should try to understand the world around us.
But it does mean we are generally making assumptions of which we really in the big picture have no idea what is really going on.
Nobody knows God's plan and nobody knows how life came to be.
We are all in the dark looking for something and don't even know what we are looking for and where to look.
When was the last time the bible was changed due to 'oops, we were wrong' issues?
Hmm, King James version?
Modern language version?
Catholic version?
Jehovah's Witness version?
The bible is what it is. A book written by men for men based on Christian belief.
Is there something else out there? A spiritual realm? I firmly believe so, but I have no proof. It doesn't mean I believe in heaven and hell and one God who puts down rules like stoning women to death or not dancing or no meat on Fridays.
