I'm Catholic specifically; I had a conversion to actually believing my childhood faith when I was 21, and it has been a providential adventure ever since. God is good! : ) I also agree about most m...

Let's set the tone for this big rabbit trail, and enjoy some material from Psalms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snqxsCFY48U I mentioned that above.

I am. This actually didn't surprise me because it's right in line with what Pope JP II and Benedict said. Actually, the Big Bang Theory was actually first posited by a Catholic priest and scientist from Belgium: George Lemaitre.
