There was a time when what we now call our galaxy was considered to be the universe. Then we found that there are multiple galaxies.

The same fate may befall the notion that the big bang describes the creation event for all matter that exists.

Several theories allow for the detection of other universes.

And yet not one of those things, should they be proved true, would make the slightest bit of progress in disproving the existence of God.

No matter how immensely huge you make the universe(s) God is bigger.

It's like Einsteins attempt to push back the beginning of the universe so far in the past as to make it appear eternal and thus remove the possibility of a beginning.

Well, a beginning was determined in spite of him and he ended up with egg on his face and had to remove the cosmological constant he inserted into his formulas to fudge them.

Science was forced to admit that Scripture was correct.... *In the beginning....***

So it will eventually be with this as well, if the world survives long enough.

Science can find evidence supporting historical events inconsistent with some literal interpretations of various scriptures, but I can't imagine anyone silly enough to say that the findings of science are relevant to arguments about the existence of God.

Folks could take a lesson from George Bush, who seems wise enough to separate speculation about natural history with religious speculation.
