The Big Bang Theory IS NOT SCIENTIFIC, because it contradicts the laws of science.

The laws of science? And what exactly would those be?
I’m guessing you mean laws of thermodynamics, and no, the “Big Bang” theory does not violate them.
Guys, he’s right. Sheldon and co. might throw around science buzzwords, but at the end of the day it’s a lowbrow sitcom, and not very scientifically accurate.
Fundies like to portray the Big Bang as “in the beginning there was nothing, which exploded”. Which is clearly nonsensical, but it’s more that they don’t grasp the concept (or never tried to) than it is an actual description of what the Big Bang is. To be fair, it’s not like most other people have a much better idea either.
Still there’s a major unexplained issue why there was anything to expand in the first place. You can’t just write that off as “Goddidit” because if nothing existed, God wouldn’t exist either. You also can’t fall back to “God is the uncaused cause” because if it’s possible for there to be an uncaused cause, then the universe could just as easily have created itself.
The DUP in Northern Ireland question the likes of you who claim that the Earth is just 6,000+ years old: they say it’s just 4,000 .
Meanwhile, we have Thorium: with a half life of 4.5 billion years.
The exact age of the Earth.
When facts contradicts the opinions of not only the fundier-than-thou Protestants in Northern Ireland, ergo…!
Yet again out of http://www.creationtheory.org/Essays/Phrases.xhtml
Big Bang Theory
Normal Person's Definition: “The theory that the universe's ongoing expansion, size, and layout are consistent with a very rapid expansion from a single point in the distant past.”
Fundie Definition: “The theory that the universe came from nothing.”
Note: this has to be one of the most common scientific misconceptions in existence. Virtually 100% of creationists believe that "rapid expansion from a singularity in the distant past" somehow means "something from nothing", even though it means nothing of the sort.
Currently, cosmological experimental observations are coherent with the Big Bang theory, so this theory is scientific. Until Eric Hovind manages to propose someone as paradigm-shafting as Albert Einstein did in 1905, Big Bang theory will be used by real physicians.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
