The biggest obstacle to the work proposed by this site is the individual complacency demonstrated by greed. The selfishness of looking out for yourself before the good of the all. If you look at it religiously or spiritually you run the risk of dangerous offenses. If you look at it scientifically you must have proof. It's the double standard of the fickle programming. You can't win. There isn't any answer possible in the current reality. We've reached an impasse for either the mystical or scientific argument for it takes a leap of faith to reasonably explain both the smallest and largest components of either camp. (Note I say mystical, not religious, let us separate Religion as an idea from the idea of God, furthermore let us stipulate that "God" shall be defined as "Creator." and nothing more. I do this as the idea of God as creator is common among current and historical definitions. There's also the ease of contemplation in terms of equality with the ease of understanding. I don't have the faculty nor the time to understand the true nature of the big bang, I must take it on as much faith as I do God. And I do... The evaluation of why I do, perhaps we will discuss some other time.) Religion,on the other hand, let us define as the catagorisation and distribution of a much finer definition of God with all the accoutre one would expect. (For eg: "God is such and such or God expects this and that.") So by the defining of our terms we can now claim that our God vs the Big Bang paradigm is equally reliant on faith. It doesn't mean that we must pick one or the other. It means we must remember what faith means.

You believe in big bang because you know someone has taken time to and had the faculty to understand the true nature of big bang. One believes in God because someone just told him/her to just have faith that He is out there. So, there is a clear difference here.
Before you say 'big bang is not precisely understood by even scientists', I want to say this. the fact that a scientific theory is not perfect doesn't make it faith. Science is human being's quest to know what is there to know. That quest is not complete overnight it is an ongoing struggle and through the process the human beings knows better and better. If the theory of big-bang is not very neat this moment science will actively try to perfect it. But faith in God is a different story. You just have to believe not seek clarity.
