It sounds more like some form of Trotskyist organisation to me.
Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.

Biased poll, the Big Bang did not create the world, it's effect on the section of universe known as our solar system created the world we know as Earth.
And by World i assume you mean universe, in that case both statements are legit options but i would have clarified.

PWND

noun (puh-win-nidd)

1. A small village in the far north of Caerphilly, equidistant to Merthyr Tydfil and Tredegar, noted for the exceptionally fine wool of its many sheep.

I'm allowed to do that, I have a great deal of Welsh ancestry.

Religion has a nasty habit of sticking to the same point for a long time.

I tend to believe the Big Bang, but I'm not gnostic about that.
I mean, science doesn't explain anything, if it is a theory and not a fact.
For example, light, particle, or wave? Theory of relativity, or quantum mechanics? Second law of thermodynamics or the theory of evolution?

Theory in science means something completely different than theory in the common slang.

You're misunderstanding the usage of Theory in this instance.

Theory in science is a set of developed explanations for why a phenomenon happens.

Furthermore, the very basis of the scientific method is that it is always willing to be wrong.

Okay. Rabid ten year olds on XBox thinking that screaming profanities and saying that their opponents were "raped" is mature, grown up behavior that makes them gods or something.

Fake? There are some verifiable items in the Bible, the ones that refer to events corroborated by other sources such as Assyrian and Egyptian monuments. The creation story in Genesis is not one of these items.

It is a BOOK. Which has NO EVIDENCE. A BOOK written by some UNEDUCATED, overly-religious NUTS. Which doesn't make any sense.
