Either prove me wrong, or shut the fuck up, coward. You down voting me without posting proves that you are a damn coward.

Actually, this is about young earth creationism, the belief that that genesis is literal and the earth is 6,000 yrs old. Aside from that, you're right, something had to cause the big bang, things don't just happen.

I agree with the fact that something created the Big Bang, but it was simple physics and chemistry, not a deity or deities. The Big Bang was an expansion, not an explosion. The universe existed in a incredibly compressed state which then expanded rapidly with an infinite release of heat. The first elements formed were hydrogen and helium which then bonded. Giant clouds of these elements formed the stars and planets due to the effect of gravity. I will come clean and admit that science does not know where the original matter is. However, sometimes it is better to admit that you don't know than to find an ersatz quasi-"answer" to everything; good thing come to those who wait, and to claim that you somehow "know" and have an intimate relationship with your particular flavour of god, and to claim that you "know" something despite all the evidence to the contrary is simply paradoxical, narcissistic and purely arrogant. And don't tell me that there's a "reason for everything". We weren't put here to fulfill some magical purpose; we are here because we naturally evolved.

As for evolution, there is proof everywhere. Rockhopper penguins evolved climbing abilities- hence their name-- to help them build their nests, which are often erected on cliffs up to 100m high. Camels evolve long eyelashes so that their eyes are not damaged by sandstorms. Mussels evolve a byssus thread to hang onto rocks. Even race is a matter of intelligence; the first humans came from Africa were they needed black skin to cope with high levels of UV, but as they moved to areas like Europe they no longer needed so much protection and thus their skin whitened. Evolution takes place even on a cellular level. Sperm cells developed tails for swimming, red blood cells got rid of their nuclei to carry more hemoglobin and root hair cells have large surface areas to absorb water. Creationists argue that the human eye is far too complex to have evolved. However, there is evidence to suggest that the light sensitive patches of some single celled organisms evolved naturally into eyes, and besides, the human eye is a far cruder device than that of the owl. Would God really love barn owls more than his own metaphorical children? Somehow, I doubt it.

And don't tell me that evolution is "unrealistic". Isn't the idea of a magical Orwellian figure who can bend the laws of science with his fingertips unrealistic?

Creationists blind themselves to the glory of the universe. The universe's great beauty is in its self-updating, self-changing nature, far superior than any machine crafted

though man's folly. Its true beauty is that it is an unknown, that their is so much amazing potential ready to be unleashed. I'm sorry, but creationism is a form of mental self-abuse to make the lazy feel smart, and I have a feeling that YECs will not cease this physiological onanism.
