    I do understand that it is something people made up without any evidence.

    I am this arrogant about anything without evidence, if you present evidence, then I have a reason to believe.

      Do you not believe in untested hypotheses or theorems? They are also made up without evidence.

      The Big Bang itself has evidence, like the rapid expansion of the universe from the universal center in a state of decay toward entropy. According to the laws of physics, the masses that collided could not have spontaneously begun moving towards each other without force. Suggesting they began to move on their own without propulsion is just as made up as a creator pushing them.

        I do not, why would I?

        nobody asserts that, they assert that we don’t know, which is accurate it is religion that asserts it happened through magic

              You may not understand science as well as you think you do. There is evidence that supports the theory, but it is untested until it is repeated in a controlled experiment. According to the scientific method, the vast majority of the field of astrophysics remains untested.

                i don’t assume the vast majority of astrophysics is true

                neither do astrophysicists

                    be·lief noun

                    1. an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists.

                    “his belief in the value of hard work”

                    \2. trust, faith, or confidence in someone or something.

                    “I’ve still got belief in myself”

                    I don’t believe in anything without evidence and if I do I seek to correct that

                    belief without evidence is a failure of the mind
