In the beginning the universe was opaque. (darkness was upon the face of the earth /oops the earth came 9 billion years later) In the evolution of the expanding energy of the universe from small to large with temperatures cooling enough to allow sub atomic particles group into Hydrogen atoms took a near eternity of star formation and ignition of the first light of stars.(let there be light) That was hard avoiding the use of the word time just now.

There is much said about the first second of the Big bang. This pretend second is divided into plank times to give order to processes that may have had to happen for this resulting universe to exist. As you know in the presence of a huge gravitational field time is virtually stopped. Time took some time for time to begin.

What religionists do is take the weakest assumptions regarding time and unknown singularities to discredit the entire big bang theory.

Their desperation for opposing science is as though we are taking food out of the mouths of their children. It really might be a money issue more than an insistence on their myth.
