“Why are people comforted by believing that we came from nothing? So they can live without restraints!”
I haven’t met too many people that believe we came from nothing (the Big Bang doesn’t necessarily imply such a thing). And I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone “comforted” by the Big Bang or evolution, nor anyone that would be heart broken if they were disproven. I also don’t think I’ve met anyone that thinks that we can live without restraints... I think a meeting of the NAS or NSF or the biology or cosmology departments of universities are among the last places on Earth you’d ever find an orgy. :-)
