::::::I thought the references were good, but it needs editing. Particularly the section about the Big Bang was a little unclear. Is your point that atheists rejected the Big Bang because it was invented by a Catholic (Christian) priest? [[User:AddisonDM|AddisonDM]] 19:58, 8 March 2011 (EST)

:::::::There is much information in that article. The reason they rejected the big bang is because it carried with it theological implications of ''creation ex nihilo'', a religious concept. The article states: "In light of the theistic implications of the Big Bang, Fred Hoyle, an atheist scientist did not accept the Big Bang,[36] preferring a model that did not have a single epoch of creation which would eliminate the need for a creator.[37] As a result, Fred Holyle, Thomas Gold, and Hermann Bondi developed the steady state theory, which appealed to atheist cosmologists because it avoided a creation event and the religious implications associated with one." I hope this helps. With regards, [[User:Anupam|Anupam]]<sup>[[User talk:Anupam|Talk]]</sup> 20:35, 8 March 2011 (EST)

::::::::Ok, that is true. I just thought it was a bit unclearly written. Do you mind if I do some minor edits on the article just to improve the flow of it (not to change any content) and then I'll see if Mr. Schlafly would like it on the home page?
