Wow do you seem confused. Science doesn’t make supernatural claims. That is why we call it Science and not Religion. The Big Bang has nothing to do with Biological evolution. If the Big Bang and Biological Evolution are the means that God wishes to use to bring about Creation then who are we to argue?

Pope Benedict XVI said the debate raging in some countries — particularly the United States and his native Germany — between creationism and evolution was an “absurdity,” saying that evolution can coexist with faith.

The pontiff, speaking as he was concluding his holiday in northern Italy, also said that while there is much scientific proof to support evolution, the theory could not exclude a role by God.

“They are presented as alternatives that exclude each other,” the pope said. “This clash is an absurdity because on one hand there is much scientific proof in favor of evolution, which appears as a reality that we must see and which enriches our understanding of life and being as such.”

Modern science denies any validity of religion (apart from a psycholocial impact). Antheism is atheist supremacist ideology, support the justification for it as you see fit.

To require that all students deny any hand of God in the creation of the universe is to beg the question, if God didn't do it, what alternate theory for God's existence do they support? They are certain God played no role and consider it heresy to think otherwise. Asking them to "explain God" is a rhetorical task and points out the weak arguments they leave as options for those who "cling to God" but accept that God played no role in the creation of the world.

No where am I making the claim that the Earth is 6,000 years old and not billions. Nowhere am I saying that it is not possible for life to evolve.

The only dead certain argument on this thread is that "God didn't play a part".

"Science doesn’t make supernatural claims."

God is the only natural thing out there. Everything else was created.
