Joe it seems like you are really bothered by other people's beliefs. Why does it affect your life so much what another person chooses to believe in? I don't understand why you find it necessary to go through all this to convince people of something they need to discover on their own. I notice this type of attitude coming from many atheists and theists alike. Many act as if their beliefs are the one true way. The bottom line is that nobody can scientifically prove god OR prove the big bang beyond the shadow of a doubt. Yes, there are tons of theories, but most likely nobody knows for certain. This is where faith comes in and people have varying beliefs on what exactly caused the universe to come about. People need to look inside of themselves and discover what there is to find. Everybody has beliefs that cannot be proved with science. It's part of being human. There is no irrefutable evidence that can prove the soul, the afterlife, ghosts, ufos, or even gravity, but people believe in many of those, plus there are countless eyewitness accounts. I like learning about the unknown. It is fun. All I'm really saying is ease up a bit, and let people believe what they want to. It's not going to affect your life in the least. Being agnostic, I believe that arguing over a POSSIBLE CONCEPT like god is silly, and does not accomplish anything but fuel anger.
