>>Is the Big Bang theory open to experiments?

Sure, let me know how it goes (Grin)

Don’t jump to conclusions, you just might fall. Teaching any theory as a fact is my problem, the big bang, string theory, the multiverse theory, all great stuff, just don’t teach tem as facts, that’s all, allow competing theories, and compare them in a scientific way, that’s all I ask.

Fine. Teach alternate views. But ID cannot be one of them.

Things can be both a theory and a fact. Gravity is both a theory, law, and fact. There is germ theory and the fact of germs. There is atomic theory and the fact of atoms. There is evolutionary theory and there is the fact of evolution.

Perhaps, science classes should not only time teaching the results of scientific research, but also spend a significant amount of time teaching the philosophy of science. (In any case anyone's wondering and accuses me of plagiarism, that's from my account on YouTube)
