I will admit I came off very condescending in my initial response. I'm not arrogant enough to claim to know what precipitated the big bang or even rule out that a god or godlike being is responsible. I doubt it very much but I know its not impossible. My derision was wrongly aimed at Greg who's faith is grounded in an understanding of the nature of the newly formed universe.

I do think Trap's creationism in which the universe was created after the Earth is utter hogwash. That sort of thinking was what I was mocking with my wizard joke.
