The great thing is we all are part of that "Big Bang'.Every thing in our body's is the same elements of primeval space....so when they say,from,Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust,its true.
Can science and religion get along?
yes, for the intelligent.People with open minds can have both.After all religion is a "Leap of Faith",science is Math,Observation,and most importantly the quest for knowledge,and the real truth.
Instead of cursing the dark,like many do,lite a candle,see,and learn..
The same people who brought us to the moon,and beyond,still have many who would stay in the dark ,superstitious,close minded,fanatical, unsubstituted world of and old dark religious world of fear,and suspicion.
Science has always been persecuted by religion.They fear it.It can shake their very foundation.
So they burn the books,cut out the the knowledge,blind those who are seeking,and condemn those who revel the true nature of the universe!
This story is not over.
But ,the nation accommodates all.All have a right to believe in what they want to.
But to deny the truth!,thats just plain stupid!

Matt, great things come in small packages. For example, of all the comments posted here on this particular topic, what percentage are truly insightful?(Many of the religious freaks are inciteful. I assume that the atom population is dwindling because so much of the universe's contents has been converted to lost, wayward energy over the past 13.7 billion years. I also continue to believe that we live inside of a composite universe, a manifold or apparition formed by the blending or collision of multiple realities from the continuum. The expansion of the universe and the growth of dark matter and dark energy points to this. The increasing exposure of dark matter is like the appearance of skin as your clothes become worn and threadbare. Humankind had better hurry up and fulfill it's destiny before the lights go out... And you'd better hurry up and record that platinum rap album you've always wanted to make.

WHY do they insist they KNOW what they are looking at... its sheer arrogance to assume
anything ... they weren't THERE, so what good
is their opinion? Its merely another little
clever guess made with data. Mere statistical
crap puffed at the media in service to professional conceit: self aggrandizement.
Poof. Nothing, but POOF!

Some truth to the above. Some religionists fear science. But they are in the minority. Vocal, of course. Fanatics are usually vocal.
Two quotations on "the truth of science" may help:
"Most study physics to satisfy some requirement. Some study physics to learn the tricks of Nature so they may find out how to make things bigger or smaller or faster or stronger or more sensitive. But a few, a very few, study physics because they wonder -- not how things work, but why they work. They wonder what is at the bottom of things -- the very bottom, if there is a bottom." -- Lewis Epstein, in THINKING PHYSICS, 1989
"It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how nature is. Physics concerns only what we can SAY about nature." -- Neils Bohr (about 1930 or so).

uh ... Hitler burned books, not religion. The greatest mass murderers in history were godless socialist. Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, etc. I tell you this as an unbeliever. Not all atheist want to burn books and kill millions. If you would grow up and realize not all god fearing people want to burn books and kill millions either it would go a long way to making you NOT sound like an ignorant fuck with such a tedious trite reflexive regurgitation of socialist group think.
