Yet, any discussion of what happened before the "big bang"is open season for the inclusion of God into the dialogue.

This is not true for a scientific analysis. Any actions of any deity are by definition are outside of the realm of scientific inquiry. Science is an inappropriate and inadequate tool for detecting and studying such events.

The jokes on you, friends... You are a blip on the radar to God! No matter how much you try to dispel the notion, He died for your sins, just like He did for mine. It's not up to me to convince you. The Holy Spirit can do that. Of course, a hardened heart is as tough as a walnut to crack!

This statement, whether true or false, has no relevance to the Big Bang. I find it curious than you assert that I am "obsessed" with God, yet it is you who has injected the subject, in great detail, into this discussion.

I can't let you get away with that, Dimensio. You're beginning to sound like me. :-)
