Here I am, totally objective and neutral and just trying to find out whether the Big Bang was adequately elaborated upon in a particular religious text for intellectual purposes.
And what do I find? Like many times in the past, I find it to be a matter of translation and both sides generating their own interpretations to fuel their own arguments and the right of their own text over the other. Yo...u would think that if the stakes were sooo high (the soul of his children), that the Big Guy would actually give a CLEAR sign to settle any issue and not leave it to his pickering children and an issue of faith (which is a suspension of logic and doesn't help the pursuit of truth in any way).
Verdict? Don't trust institutionalised religion. Throw in your lot with one side and the other accords you with punishment in the hereafter. Follow-up action? Cut past their petty squabbles and just be a good person as best I can without any of their rules from the big guy up there.
Still, it would have been nice if an issue would not be distorted by either side for once.....just once.
