> [@mswas](#): > > The number of people who believe in the Big Bang and yet couldn’t even pass a high school physics exam is astounding. Oh, my, you’re more confused than I thought. The Big Bang makes sense, and is supported by a mountain of evidence. The fact that a particular person couldn’t write a dissertation about it doesn’t change that. Religion doesn’t make sense, and it isn’t supported by any evidence at all. See the difference? ---
