You know what the wonderful thing is about science.
You don't have to follow or believe anything anyone else says.
If you doubt any part of it all you need is the motivation to prove or disprove it. That may mean you need to educate yourself enough to do so but again that falls within the subject of "motivation".
Brings me to another wonderful thing about science. If you can disprove some aspect of whats excepted your findings will be celebrated not shunned.
Can the same be said about religions??? I think not.
You see, science will never be able to tell us how a huge universe came to be from absolutely nothing.
And before you come at me with the big bang theory, first I need science to tell me what caused the big bang to happen, what was there in nothingness that caused it?

Your right science will probably never explain something like that so it is a good thing science hasn't claimed the universe came from nothing. On the other hand I believe some religions claim the universe came from nothing they have yet to provide any evidence of that. It's a cool story though.

I am not sure what you are saying here? Are you sure you know what the Big Bang Theory is about?

Great since you have looked up Wiki on the matter could you tell me does it say anywhere that the big bang occurred from "nothing".:
The reason I ask is because you have repeatedly referred to a "nothing" causing different things.
:
This part may seem insignificant to you however it is actually very important that you know the difference between nothing and something it would be even better if you knew what that something is called. You should be able to find the proper name in the same wiki page you had up.
I will wait for you to find it.
I'm finding this unbelievably amusing at the moment. Seriously, you will find on Wikipedia what science has told it??? I can do some digging and copy and paste for you again but is it really necessary, is it really????
As far as I am aware the official stance from science is that nothing cannot exist so something must have always been there.
All I ask for is PROOF that something was there before the big bang, after all that's how science works isn't it, it proves things, because theories are no different to religion.
You can ignore my question as many times as you like but I will keep asking for definitive PROOF that something was there before the big bang.
While we're at it I would also like to question if you are aware the big bang is merely a theory and not a scientific fact?
All I am merely stating is that science cannot prove how everything came to be, just in the same way that religion cannot. I realise that can be hard for some people to take but I can assure you it is a FACT.

Please tell me how science explains our existence and also what evidence it has of these explanations.
Once I have this information I am happy to give science more credit than religion.

That line has been drawn thousands of times. It was always science that stepped over it to bring us to more understanding of the world, never religion, never magic, never divine revelation, never a god.

You've just made my point right there, I do not expect anybody to come and answer my question because I know it is a question that cannot be answered, which is why I asked it in the first place.
What I am trying to say is that science, just like religion, is a belief system (in relation to existence). Some people think it's a matter of time before science manages to explain things logically, but for everyone who thinks like this there's someone else in the world who believes one day god will come down to earth and save everybody.
Both ideas are currently fantasy and neither camp is an a position to dismiss the other.
It really makes me laugh when people try to dismiss religion with scientific theories, it's ridiculous really.

Its almost laughable how much credit you science people give yourselves when (1.) you had nothing to do with the science. your just following what someone else says (which is called second hand knowledge), and (2) you so blindly believe science answers all when it drops the ball on some of the most simple problems. If anything, it has progressed things in the wrong direction.
