Yes, a theory which people choose to believe.
Personally i don't think people should be attacked for their beliefs on something like this.
Questioned yes, but sh*t like the stuff between bungalowbill and vanilla was just petty.

Agreed...I'm a sceptic on most things, religion being one of those.

I respect peoples beliefs because it brings them purpose and happiness.

It's worth the belief for that spin off alone.

I respect their beliefs unless they start bringing it up without asking. Placebo effects can be garnered from most things, even nihilism (to an extent). Indeed nocebo effects can also be created by beliefs (if you start believing you're possessed by a daemon, chances are you're going to start feeling pretty crappy). It works both ways.

Agreed, but no offence to Vanilla, she does get all fanatical when it comes to matters of religion which I say good for her.But it's even put me on the defensive a few times.

I know she doesn't mean it, but if you're passionate about your cause sometimes things will be said that will turn into disputes.

Hehe that's cool man, I just get ****ed off when people I'm not even trying to talk with try and make a big arguement out of every little word I say. I say a comment directed at Christians, and I get an atheist going spare at me! Sorry for breathing.

theory
n.
a working hypothesis that is considered probable based on experimental evidence or factual or conceptual analysis and is accepted as a basis for experimentation

By that definition neither God nor Christianity are a "theory," as they are in no way based on Scientific evidence or experimentation.

As for the "if not for God, where did the Universe come from?" bit, many people seem to think that putting God into the equation seems to solve the whole Universal mystery, but where did God come from? Has he always been here? Did he just pop into existence? I guess whatever your answer to that question could be the same answer to "where did the Universe come from?" Either way, we're just guessing because it's one of those things that's impossible to know.

And I'm not really talking about the Big Bang theory here, because that explains how the Universe formed, but not where it came from... why there was a tiny point of infinitely dense mass that just decided to explode... that bit.
