Oh. My. God.

That has to be the biggest pet peeve of mine. Learn what scientists mean by theory.

Yes, the big bang is a theory. In the same way we have the germ theory of disease. Or the theory of gravity. Or atomic theory. Or the theory of limits (which calculus is based on).

Jesus Christ, I can't understand why people have this intransigent claim that we'll never understand the way the universe started. They know absolutely nothing about modern physics, yet they keep banging their heads on the big bang theory. But just because thousands of lay people keep banging their heads on it ddoesn't mean the theory's going to break. It's solid. Y'all are just going to come back bruised and tattered.
