Qubit> No, if you’re religious you can accept the Big Bang as well (and that is not a guess or hypothesis. We do have proof of the Big Bang. Look up Cosmic Microwave Background on google). You can say, “God made Big Bang” if you want.
But no one can answer a question like “Why?” “Why did God wait forever?” etc. Also, claiming some divinity created the Universe is NOT NECESSARY. We can’t explain every detail about the Big Bang yet, but that is because we still do not understand every aspect of gravity (basically how it works on very very small scales).
If science had “no real proof of anything” how come we have space-crafts, lasers, aspirin, Moon-landings etc. etc etc?? Technology is based on science and if science couldn’t prove anything, you’d not sit by that computer of yours claming science has no proof 😉
“Can't you accept that perhaps the big bang was divinely induced, but God chose to allow things to develop on their own since then?”
Can’t you accept that perhaps the Big Bang simply happened and then evolved after that without any higher power?
”If you insist on taking a literal interpretation of the Bible, then your version of God didn't expect very much from you, did He?”
Spoken like a person too intelligent to take the Bible literally, but unable to let go. How do YOU know that the Bible isn’t to be taken literally and your version of God is the right one?
