"Space," it [H2G2 - but you knew that already, didn’t you?] says, "is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space, listen..."

@Saladin4747 You can think that if it makes you feel better, but you can't prove it. As long as you're not trying to force anyone else to live by your beliefs and you aren't blindly denying science, I really don't have an issue with what you think up to explain things we currently can't.

[Saladin4747]

@PongoBluetooth God did create the universe.

He mede the Big Bang happen.

Don't think crap about us, we don't take the bible literally.

@GuitarzFromMarzz You can believe whatever you want. But when people start replacing scientific theories with ancient mythology, we have a problem. That is the issue a lot of people have with religious people - the ones that try to push explanations for physical reality with the folklore of bronze-age goat-herders.

As long as you don't do that, yeah whatever, we're chill.

@GuitarzFromMarzz agree

That's awesome. In my beliefs, God and science go together. God works according to the science and laws of the universe. I don't know why religion gets the image of "abracadabra" and everything just showed up. Religion, in my opinion, works perfectly with science.
