Big Bang?

Did we start a GR-reading? Nobody told me! Where's the schedule?

“Nature does not know extinction; all it knows is transformation.
Everything science has taught me and continues to teach me,
strengthens my belief in the continuity of our
spiritual existence after death.”

The difference between the priests and the scientists is that the latter 
were right in various points in the past and that they don't claim to 
know the absolute truth. Astrophysicians are no priest-caste fantasising 
something like those "intelligent design" people.
