b) The theory that time began with the Big Bang cannot be proven conclusively by science, according to many reputable and open minded scientists... c) Intelligent Design cannot be conclusively proven either since it's "evidence" is circumstantial. *--Well done, Mario! "Creationism" cannot be accepted. Creation is a theological concept, not a scientific theory. The Universe is not eternal, it had a beginning. Science alone cannot explain how it began.
