We agree on this. I have not read one book in (rational) theology which contest 
this, even when written by Christian. The big-Bang theory was developed by 
l’abbé Lemaitre, who was both christian theologian and cosmologist. That is why 
I suggest you to read the text of the rationalist theologian, and not the 
popular religion which have been imposed by terror and violence as it is 
happens when theology is withdrawn from science to political manipulation tool 
(lie a part of Health politics today, or genetics in the USSR, …).

By theology, I have been ultra-clear that I talk only about the rationalist. 
None ever believed any literal account of any “sacred texts”, on the contrary, 
they foresaw all the problem which can happen if we abandon reason in the 
domain.

Modern physics is not theology, obviously. But physics, like mathematics and 
mathematical logic are born from rational theology.  They they have separated, 
even more so in the context where theology has been separated from science.

That was a typo. I meant “…theology FROM science”. We cannot make that 
separation without making science, or a part of it, into a theology. That is 
why some people believes that “materialism” sides with science, where any 
serious scientists knowing a bit in the domain knows that there has never been 
any empirical evidence for primary matter. Not one. Is is a simplifying 
hypothesis, like “the earth is flat” is a simplifying hypothesis working well 
for architect, but problematic for airline and astronautics.

That has been proved, and the systematic childish “debunking” of step 3 assures 
everybody of your lack or rationality in the cognitive science or philosophy of 
mind (or rational theology in the original sense of those who have begun the 
investigations.

Like your constant negative tone and ad hominem sliding illustrates you have 
prejudices, on my person apparently.

Again, you come back to your belief that the theology of the institionalized 
religion, which in occident has been persecuted for centuries, are the right 
theologian. You criticises the absurdity of religion, but by throwing the baby 
(rational theology) with the water (the fake theology imposed for political 
purpose), you help the fake and prevent the search of truth. That is why I say 
that the non-agnostic atheists (who share with the christian the religious 
belief in primary matter and who share the exclusively christian notion of God) 
are ally against the return of science and reason in the field.
