Problems with the Big Bang theory

There are several ways to look back at the early universe scientifically (old light observations, cosmic microwave background radiation left from the big bang, general relativity etc), and they are most certainly not dainty blind choices. Of course looking at what caused the Big Bang is pure speculation...but we are most certainly closer to the answer by making smart guesses (based on what we do know), compared to pulling it out of our ass because of emotional necessity thousands of years ago. >_>

I mean, there aren't 'holes' in 'having an omnipotent creator' since there is no evidence to suggest there is one in the first place. Anyone that thinks there is is highly mistaken. It's faith. I can respect it, but a knowledgeable theist should be able to recognize what they see is not evidence, but a specific untestable interpretation of the world around them. If that is satisfying than so be it.

Of course there's no evidence - if an omnipotent being wanted to stay out of sight, then there's nothing stopping it. The very nature of an omnipotent being is that it cannot be proven or disproven.

The Big Bang theory is the same. We can probe all we want, but the fact is we will never be able to find out what caused the Big Bang, or the numerous other problems with the theory that cannot be solved. You can't say "well your argument doesn't have any evidence but mine has some which is better than none so i am right and you are wrong".

I refuse to bend one way or the other in a scientific debate that has no absolute answer.
