Can't disagree with you on that one! However, the the Big Bang (if

Righto! If there is no time, there is no before and after.
Ooops! No before, I'll go along with that. No after? Ludicrous! Irrational.
Actually,
there are some physicists who believe that time is purely a human
construct and does not exist outside of our minds. I believe it was
Scientific American that devoted a large portion of an issue two or
three years ago to those physicists and their theories. In their
viewpoint there is no past, no future, just an ever-present now. All
questions of origins are meaningless in such a universe.
Even more proof that just because you have a degree in a science, you
have *not* been embued with sense and rationality along with your
textbook knowledge.

IOW, being granted a degree in a science by an institute of higher
learning doesn't ipso facto confer intelligence.
