That's kinda the point. It's also just a matter of faith sometimes. It isn't always rational but it's a powerful thing. Either way, I don't see religion as a bad thing because it generally just promotes communal spirit and morals.

I think all ideas of God would be the same being, and if He were for example Allah, he wouldn't be that pissed because I was worshipping him anyway but with different terminology.

Wouldn't that only be supported by monotheist religions, though? Would an omniscient God feel that someone's heart was "in the right place" for being a polytheist?

And I guess I came off as a religion hater, but I'm not. I agree with a lot of morals presented with religion, and I believe it does have its place in the world and gives meaning to many peoples' lives. It's just something I'm extremely skeptical of and don't really believe in or practice myself. I apologize if I came off offensively.

Do you know what a white hole is in theory, to support the plausibility of The Big Bang?

Yes and yes but The Plank mission didn't observe the density fluctuation in the Universe needed to support the white hole model. If they were there they would have found then in the CMB. The white hole model was formulated to solve for problems in braneworld cosmology which in isn't even a meaningful model yet.

not really though. time and space has always existed. there was no moment when everything just happened. its even beyond human comprehension to understand this.

Time is a social construct and does not have the same meaning to everyone and everyone does not experience time the same way. So time is relative. It could be said time is just an illusion.

Ever been in a class looking at the clock and thinking that this last 15 minutes seems like an hour?
How about when you are having fun and time flies by so fast you can't believe it’s time to go?
Ever lose track of time at the computer and think my god where did those 3 hours go?

These are real examples of how time is perceived differently by the brain in various situations.

Space time is different and large masses curve it. Large spinning masses such as the earth distort space time and dragging it along or frame-dragging. If the universe was created in a big bang then the space time as we know it did not always exist. I believe there was other space either in other dimensions or other universes.
