> [@Czarcasm](#): > > I think that you avoid trying to find out the answers concerning the Big Bang, and that when the means to find these answers are handed to you on a silver platter, you refuse to expend any effort _because you might learn something you have already determined you don’t want to learn_. This is the deliberate ignorance I speak of-you _could_ increase your knowledge base, but you _refuse_ to do so. See this is another case where you feel smug and superior because of inferior understanding. I am making an argument related to the OP. Your argument is off-topic. This topic IS NOT whether the Big Bang is real. I’m sorry if you are incapable of comprehending what thread you are posting in, and think that personal attacks are justified. You of course will not be warned because you are a mod, and as such can do whatever you want. I don’t specifically avoid learning about the Big Bang. It’s just that if I am going to read about science, I’d rather read about cognitive neuroscience than cosmology. The point of this thread is that the Big Bang is NOT OBVIOUS. I’m sorry that staying on topic is such a trial for you, and that you’d rather follow me around insulting me. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/obvious-facts-debate-thread/527309)._
