Thanks for this, interesting article.

My personal belief is that God and science are one and the same (and I was a lover of math and science in school).

Just to throw a curve in, there is newer theory much different than the big bang theory. "The universe may have existed forever, according to a new model that applies quantum correction terms to complement Einstein's theory of general relativity. The model may also account for dark matter and dark energy, resolving multiple problems at once."

No Big Bang? Quantum equation predicts universe has no beginning
