    Many of them would hope you would. I once was once a christian myself. As a part of any good christian you hope others who are not will believe and if they had real proof or even thought they had real proof they would use it to help you believe. This also is true for some atheists. They feel if they could prove that a part of the bible might not be true then they might covert them to atheists. This is not true in my case. I did not change because of scientific theories or because of inaccuracies in the Bible. The reason is my own.

    I do not mean any disrespect for how you believe but to the best of my knowledge, neither the theory of evolution nor big bang has been conclusively proven, so I don't think you can call either fact. Things like gravity have been conclusively proven so are scientific fact. Though both of the theories you mentioned do have good evidence, a fact they have not yet made no more than showing evidence the sun can effect life on this planet proves it to be a god like the ancient Egyptians did.

    Me personally, I am an atheist, and believe in evolution but I am not about to cut down others belief just because they are not my own.

    Well the Big Bang THEORY and Darwin THEORY are just THEORIES so they weren't proven.... EVER. Science is basically saying it is a highly reasonable thing that happened, not that it happened. Religions says everything in the (Holy Book) happened, so believe it and you'll prosper only when dead if you're not prospering while you're living. Now I met atheist that I mistaken for God praising holy men, and i met some that should be shot. I've met christians that should be shot... I could count on my fingers how many should be saved. You can disprove what you want but unless you show us a god (or other evidence then a book written before your family evolved from monkeys lol), we won't stop at a god. Atheist is not saying there's no god, it's just saying due to the lack of evidence, we can do better or not waste our life searching for a answer to a question we might not know until we die.

    I'm atheist and I don't believe in the big bang theory. Although I do believe in evolution. We are evolving right now. If you look closely, we have evolved in height (we are actually shrinking). We are becoming more intelligent. There is also in breeding evolving into different breeds. For example, breed an Asian to an African, You can produce a Black Asian. So on so forth. This creates different types of people which then continue to evolve the more we breed. Same thing with animals. There a new species being found every year.

    Evolution is not a 'scientific fact', and is easily refuted

    Perhaps you are mistaking darwinian evolution with natural selection.

    There is a lot of confusion about the word evolution. Some people use it to mean simply Natural Selection, which is observed and not controversial (eg Darwin's finches in Galapagos). But is is also used to mean the hypothesis that one kind of animal has changed into another.

    E (goo-to-you) is the hypothesis that animals can change into different kinds of animals by means of natural selection working on genetic mutations.

    These alleged mutations need to have added vast amounts of genetic information. However no such genetic mutation has ever been observed. Mutations are information neutral or lossy.

    'But E is too slow to see' protest the Eists. Well then it's not observable and not worthy of being even called a theory. In any case, time is the enemy - mutations are resulting in the degradation of the gene pool - that is observable.

    Many evolutionists (deliberately?) mislead people by calling NS evolution and then claiming E is proved.

    Child, the Big Bang theory was written by a religious person, Father Georges Lemaitre (see the link below).

    Evolution is commonly accepted by the Church and one of its bedrock sciences, genetics, was also given to the world by a Catholic, a monk named Gregor Mendel (hence the name: Mendelian Genetics).

    Finally, the notion of "disproving" anything is entirely unscientific. Read up on the rules of logic.

    The fact is that religion and science are actually all a part of ONE THING and the real answer is that they are both right, from a different perspective. Just consider this - there is always a THIRD alternative to every paradox - both things are right (or- wrong).

    God doesn't CARE if you believe in God or not because God already knows that the ULTIMATE destination for you and everyone else is assured. You cannot fail to meet God. God is the unavoidable. I just wanted you to see that it is possible for you to believe in science and also God at the same time.

    I know its possible, because I do! I am living proof that you can believe in God and also science.

    Since I don't believe in gods, I'd have to say "no"

    And I accept evolution and BB theory, so I have no interest in disproving them.

    You don't mean religious folks.

    You don't even mean adherents of the abrahamic religions.

    You mean SOME of them.

    If they are 'facts' as you claim.

    or you can prove "theory = fact".

    why do you call it a theory if it's a fact
