I do not make fun of the Big Bang theory, I think it's an ideology that does not hold water. When I read through the pages of the Bible, I believe it holds water. One of them being the archeology that has been dug up over the years. Another is the eye witness accounts written in the gospels by different authors that corroborate what the others wrote and witnessed.
Again, I invite to read an excellent book written by a former athiest who set out to prove his wife wrong when she became "Born Again". He was a high powered lawyer who traveled and spoke to many scholars on both sides of the issue and penned his findings in the book. The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel. An excellent read for people on both sides.
Take care man and you bring up valid questions but I think they can be answered .
