In truth, I'm not what you would consider a well educated man. I always thought a big part of science was observation, testing, theory, how to interpret what you see. Here is truth;
When testing, always watch results. If the results of your tests disagree with your theory, believe the results and work on your theory. It is my observation that man tends to believe his theories and "adjusts" his tests to support them.

I was raised in a good Christian home. { and thankful for it } I was also taught "evolution" in public schools, along with it's cousin the "big bang" theory. I reconciled these differences as somehow, "they both must be right." Eventually my "observations" discredited the big bang and evolution, and fell in favor with what we call the Bible.

No doubt, this admission is causing some a hearty laugh. I'm not offended.

There are a great many well educated Christians that don't see any contradiction between those things. But if you do, well, whatever.

I personally don't buy into the Big Bang. But the first hypothesis of such a thing I believe came from a Jesuit Astronomer, who was apparently seeking to find some physical evidence of Gods creation. Hubble came along later with the Red Shift and provided some evidence.

Just how many "observations" relating to the Big Bang have you made?

They have absolutely NOTHING to do with each other. No wonder you are so confused.
