When you get down to the bedrock, there's very little difference between theistic and atheistic explanations for creation.

  That's total nonsense.

    A.) God waved his finger, and the universe sprang into existence. B.) something happened, and the universe sprang into existence.

      A.) God waved his finger, and the universe sprang into existence, along with a bunch of mythology. B.) something happened, and the universe exploded from a single point. And meanwhile we have no evidence of god, and a crapload of evidence that the whole universe is expanding outwards.

        disingenuous.. we have zero understanding of "something happened" a lot of about everything later, you are conflating the two. If you have better logical or scientific explanation than God about the actual creation I am very interested

      The difference is that god is a bizarre, nonsensical, and clearly wrong story that shuts down questioning. The Big Bang is a debatable story - could be right, could be wrong, our best effort so far - that encourages questioning.

  Absolutely. "Big bang" or "let there be light", what's the difference?

    >"Big bang" or "let there be light", what's the difference? There is evidence supporting the existence of the Big Bang. There is no evidence supporting the existence of the Judeo-Christian God.

    People are prepared to drop big bang if the evidence changes.
