Like the BIG bang.. is just an assumption by many assuming the same thing.. but it is indeed an assumption.. Up until about 1900 many assumed that opium and mercury(compounds) was a beneficial soup(laudanum)-medication..

People believed a lot of crazy things were medicinally good for a long time. Witness the Then they actually started doing systematic studies to gather evidence and accounted for things like the placebo effect.

The big bang is NOT an assumption... It is a theoretical explanation that fully accounts for the avaialbe evidence.

Not an assumption?.. Its a story, a tale, science fiction, which could have a little truth in it.. the way most fiction does..

"It is absurd for the Evolutionist to complain that it is unthinkable for an admittedly unthinkable God to make everything out of nothing, and then pretend that it is more thinkable that nothing should turn itself into everything."-G.K. Chesterton

"Truth, of course, must of necessity be stranger than fiction, for we have made fiction to suit ourselves."-G.K. Chesterton
