Not true. There is plenty of credible science behind both the Big Bang and evolution. So much so that they are now considered 'theories' and not 'hypotheses'. Creationism cannot even be credibly granted 'hypothesis' status.

<There is no credible science behind any theory of origins... > You're speaking of where the first life came from, yes... there are ideas but Biologists readily admit it's mostly wide opinionating. HOWEVER... we do have VERY GOOD evidence about WHEN, which discredits a main tennent of what most people think of as "creationism"... and even MUCH BETTER evidence about "evolution" meaning "descent with modification" which absolutely discredits a main "creationist" idea. Both of these "radical creationist" ideas are essentially proven false. Now, the Catholic version (I think that essentially that god is among us all the time guiding evolution) of course makes sense... they change (well, eventually... Gallileo was forgiven in the 1990's I think... lol) with what science discovers. It is not sciences job to prove or disprove god nor does it ever do that.... (the occasional crackpot like Dawkin's wastes his brain power on that) they observe nature (if you're religious, that's god or god's work) and describe it (natrural laws) or explain it (theories). DAK
