If they have no problems with accepting a being outside space, time and our comprehension, then why can't they accept that the universe is endless? (Mind you this is not a theory that I'm advocating, I'm just showing that it has as much evidence as a theory about god). I find it hard to believe that so many people across the world are willing to subvert their intelligence to a being that supposedly, "we cannot comprehend". If your friends like to bring up that everything has a beginning and an end, ask them how god "began" and when he will "end". God began in our minds, and I can only hope he will end soon.

Out of all the things being argued, struck me as something I would actually comprehend .___.

I remember talking about this a month or so ago in Science class briefly ... I think I was the only one that paid attention LOL (morning class, yay =w=)

I think what I'm most afraid of is watching the scientists fail. If their theory happens to be right, but something in there malfunctions and even after many tests they don't set it right and believe it to be the truth, we can literally throw out our textbooks o.o (or so our science teacher says, haha). The knowledge that we could lose what we've studied for so long kind of scares me. What the hell would we do in science class for the rest of our lives? If another thousand years or so down the road we find our setback was because of some crappy engineer or a sleepy scientist, I don't even want to imagine what the reaction would be lol.
As for the Big Bang and God theories, I personally find it hard to believe in either o.o I’m young compared to most people on FF, so I don’t know as much, but I just think it’s hard to think about something like that. Both theories are too flawed it seems, even if they have good evidence. There’s some easy, simple questions that neither can answer. Big Bang is easy to accept because it seems logical. Creationism is harder because we’re too sceptical.
I’m actually interested in what the LHC will bring, haha. Hope it works.

You're about as young as me which is why you probably understood my post LOL. Anyways, yeah, Big Bang isn't infallible, and neither is Creation, but of the two, I think the Big Bang will win out eventually. Even if it doesn't, the Church has been losing ground steadily. When it said that the solar system was geocentric and it was proven wrong, it didn't make a whole lot of people give up on Christianity, in the same way, if science makes a mistake, it can't be denounced completely.

(emphasis mine)

There is no such thing as being "too skeptical".

That is indeed an interesting point.

I'll come back when I recoup some sleep and clear my mind. =P
