re: Do you accept the notion of the Big Bang as the origin of our universe?

I like the skeptical spirit of your post, PC.

I don't know that we will ever have all the answers, my friend. We have our limitations and the Universe is extraordinarily vast and complex. I do, however, believe it's more reasonable to at least assume a natural explanation for everything until there is indisputable evidence otherwise.

I also think it's okay to say, "I don't know."

Plus, I just don't trust scientists. I'm sorry, but there's too much grant money at stake. Too much pride. Too many egos. More than a few have been known to skew or interpret data a certain way to support a preferred conclusion. Faulty data means faulty conclusions.

Then maybe you can understand my distrust of theists and all their contradictory views. At least science offers a lot of tangibility and general agreement across cultures on a great many things.
