grumpy smurf/domenico...

you say "I have yet to hear a Christian voice state what to me should be the most obvious choice of paths....

"God created the big bang!" "

on the contrary - there are a number of sunday school educational sets out there that profess exactly that; I was raised to see no conflict with creation and the scientific explanations of the univers (the theories never do explain where that first jolt/monobloc/whatever comes from) I taught from educational materials that illustrated the seven days of creation using galaxy formation and evolution as part of the wonder of the creator's universe. AND I might add, that these materials have existed for a MINIMUM of three decades, have been in use at least that long and are still in use. Christian and Creationism are not synonyms
