***I'm just waiting for the fundies to figure out how "unbiblical" particle physics and cosmology are... it's a wonder to me we've gotten a pass so far..***

And I'm just waiting for some hard-headed materialist to explain why their "miracle" singularity isn't a miracle.

The singularity is not a miracle. It's just an admission that our current understanding of the laws of physics doesn't allow us to say anything about the universe at times less than 10^-43 seconds after the big bang. The current laws yield answers for calculable quantities, such as temperatures and forces, of infinity, which indicates that the laws as we currently understand them cannot be used for this situation.
