You were not reading. Your supposed "response" has *nothing* to do
with the issue I brought. The issue (for your education, if such a
thing is possible) was not:
A) What is the difference between the Big Bang model and the story of
creation?
but:
B) What is the difference between a theist objecting to evolution
because it disagrees with scripture and an atheist objecting to the
Big Bang model because it sounds like "creation".
Kindly work on your reading comprehension skills before attempting to
respond again.
