SPACE, the final frontier. A snapshot of our insignificance, a total mind-screw.
As more people are becoming atheist/secular, science is starting to become a new religion of sorts.
Kind of scary. It's happening just as Arthur C. Clarke thought it would - science becoming magic, completely incomprehensible to the layman, only a few people know how technology actually works, etc.

Corrected. I was really into astronomy as a kid, went to my local community college to take classes on it and asked questions.
Then later took an actual class on astronomy in college and it ended up being not a lot of facts and a bunch of hard math (like, far more difficult than what is required for engineering disciplines) that I had little interest in learning. It's the same if you go and take a course on quantum mechanics - ends up just being a bunch of hard math. You REALLY gotta like math to study this stuff, lol.

I'm not an astrophysicist, and I may have misremembered something, but as I recall, there was a primordial mass - and LOTS of energy, this is the idea, and that energy can be converted to mass and mass to energy. Big bang, release of LOTS of energy caused a chain reaction in the primordial mass and that energy converted to matter, focused around the primordial mass. Does that make sense?
This is the old definition of the big bang, it may be more refined now, but that is how I learned it in college, eons ago.

Big Bang = not reproducible, not testable, not measurable.
If you believe in the Big Bang, then you don't believe scientific fact. Instead, you believe scientific philosophy, which is a world view. World view as in synonymous with religion
It's called Secular Humanism.No one made God. God is eternal.
Hey Brucey, just so you and everyone else know, I'm not going to purposely instigate any argument about religion, however if people post something up I will respond respectfully. 
Hopefully from here on out, it's just more pictures and less speculation. But, I guess we'll have to wait and see!!
