Just because there's a God doesn't mean science isn't worth pursuing.

I never said that, but in titus 6:20 the God points out that there are things passing themselves off as science. That's pretty much what we have here when we see a 1 part per 100,000 difference in the distribution of background radiation at 2.7ish degrees K and conclude that it supports the big bang theory.

Well, maybe it does, and maybe it doesn't... but if you don't mind my asking, do you have the qualifications to make that call?

The question is kind of irrelevant anyhow, because whether the universe Big Banged or not, science can get no grip on the whole notion of why it happened. It's not what science is about. By the same token, I find scientists who disbelieve in a Creator on the basis of their work to be as laughable as a mechanic who disbelieves in Henry Ford. "Been lookin' for his fingerprints for years," he might say. "Never found 'em... NOT EVEN ON FORDS!!!"

That you can't be bothered to do the math is a poor substitute for a valid critique.

Really? It says that? I seem to be fresh out of Bibles with that mysterious sixth chapter of Titus, and I can't seem to find it online anywhere. Now, I'm no Bible wonk or anything, but maybe someone's slipping stuff in when you're not looking?

Perhaos you would like to revise your reference or bible version?

Or did you just make this up? Even Babs couldn't get away with faux-Shakespeare.
