Religion What is your take on religion? Do you base your thoughts in life according to your religion? Do you feel that religion should be kept out of Government and Politics?

Big Bang theory allegedly happens out of nowhere too, it's no more logical than the Biblical account of Creation

My problem is not the atempt to understand how the universe came to be, my problem is with folks claiming they have "information" as though they have facts regarding it. As you can clearly see, they dont.

So:
something forms from nothing
transforms into life from non life, which is statistically improbable-if not impossible
survives through environmental changes
replicates itself
develops sex organs for sexual reproduction
mutates into a more complex organism
willfully chooses to leave its environment to explore the frontier
survives the new environment somehow as a lower lifeform
then lather, rinse, repeat
As opposed to:
A superior being created the heavens and the earth
Designed a planet suitable for life to exist
Created food sources for these beings
Placed specific beings in specific environments that best suits them
Allows them live and reproduce

To me, creationism is more rational and logical.
