Therefore suggesting that time did not exist "before" is as daft as suggesting that the edges of the universe are being pulled away from us by a herd of randy sloths. The big bang theory is based on an analysis of the effects we can observe in the here and now, which is nowhere near proof that it's actually what happened. Especially not when you consider that the only thing I (or you) actually know is that I (or you) exist in some form, and everything else is a guess based on incredibly flimsy evidence! > It's another nail in the coffin of deity constructors.
