Jim: "The existence of God is a theory which people choose to believe, and so is the the Big Bang theory." They are not the same, Jim. Both are not theories. A theory is a temporary conclusion arrived at, based on evidence, with the proviso that, if the evidence is questioned or if new evidence arises, then the conclusion may change. That is the scientific method (or one definition of it, anyway). Belief in the existence of God is not, therefore, a theory. It is a belief system, a dogma, if you like, because no amount of new information will change the conclusion.
