I fail to see the difference between universe created by "god" and one created by "big bang".

hrm........ I should have phrased it:

"the universe was created:

A) 6,000 years ago
B) at the big bang"

You know Wacki you really seem to be clueless on this sort of stuff. Someone could believe in God and still believe in the big bang. The way you write these questions is similar to the question "Do you still beat your wife?"

The question didn't stack up believing in God vs. thinking the universe started with the big bang. It set against each other believing the universe started 6000 years ago and thinking it started with the big bang. Significant difference.

The problem with his re-worded question is it basically is just the initial question. If you answer "6,000 years ago" you are basically answering that you believe that God created the universe. A properly worded question would be:


"the universe was created:

A) Through the direction of a God. Whether that be via a big bang or some other act, God had some hand in it.
B) I don't believe in God and accept that the universe was created via the currently scientifically accepted theory of the big bang.

That's a much better question. But, of course the question is superfluous anyway. All you have to ask is: "Do you believe in God?"
