The Whole Universe Was in a Hot, Dense State.

 So here's the thing. I'm really getting fucking fed up with these psycho-christian crackpots trying to blow everything into biblical proportions. I understand that for a great many people, the big bang theory is just to hard to grasp, and it's much safer and more comforting to think that the entirety of the universe is sequestered to this 1.08321×10 12 km 3 rock we call Earth, but that's just tough shit. Ladies and gentleman, there are scientific experiments, and textbooks, and research papers, and journals, and funding, available for a damned good reason. It's provable. Your magical sky ghost is not. While I respect that you have the right to believe whatever you choose, I'm becoming exponentially more livid that many of you Christians seem to think the path to enlightenment is laden with verbal abuse, mockery, and a holier-than-thou sense of entitlement. I've noticed a dearth of respect for MY beliefs, and the beliefs of those who share my world view, like Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Stephen Hawking, Leonard Susskind, Albert Einstein, Alex Fileppenko, Michio Kaku, Brian Greene, et al.

 To answer some of the burning questions that none of you seem to bother asking, heat is a catalyst for fusion (the same principle that fuels, and ultimately causes the death of stars like our sun). The big bang generated heat on an unheard of scale. While microbes may not have existed beforehand, fusion dictates that simple elements, when combined and exposed to heat, will create new elements (for reference, see hydrogen fusing to create helium for starters), which combine to create chemicals and chemical compounds such as amino acids, and the other proteins necessary for life. Timing is everything.

 Now, stop waving your book of faerie tales at me, and pick up a textbook, journal, or research paper, because if you tell me one more time about how the reason we have rope is because Rapunzel donated her hair after being rescued from the tower, or women are supposed to be skinny because they're made from a meager rib bone in the first place, I'm going to start throwing the scriptures you choose to ignore at you in response to the ones you quote because they're convenient for you. If you're going to be such a die hard bible thumper, read the whole fucking thing!

 You hear that whooshing sound? You see that huge, ominous black cloud overhead? That's science dropping. You can't avoid it forever.

SPECIAL NOTE: This isn't directed at ALL Christians, just the ones that will most likely stop reading halfway through the first paragraph.
