Sorry, I didnt realize I was! You must have some good hearing
ALL CAPS equals SHOUTING!
It considered impolite in internet forums (unless your intent is to come across as shouting), just so you're aware.
That makes perfect sense. So sincerely, thank you I really didnt mean to be impolite, sorry about that.

If you want SILLY, I contend that believing in and worshipping an invisible supernatural being without a shred of supporting evidence trumps everything else.
... said the blind leading the blind.
"without a shred of supporting evidence"? That's hyperbole. Some of the best evidence is in logic. If the universe suddenly came into being with NOTHING having existed, matter-wise, what would you say caused its existence?
If we bring logic into the equation then you can kiss your silly skygod good bye... but to entertain you for a moment, we dont know that the universe "suddenly" came into being with NOTHING having existed before. The Universe might have always been there.
In the same way when believers are asked who created the creator, the common belief is that the creator was always there, so using the same LOGIC then we can say that the universe might have always been there....
You guys are so funny--- you refer to the Big Bang only when it suits your argument at the time. If it doesn't, then you say the universe may NOT have suddenly come into being, that maybe it is eternal. Well, if that were the case, we wouldn't be here because the universe would've petered out by now... The universe shows that it has aged. You can't have it both ways. The only presupposition I need to bring into the argument is that logic and science say that anything that came into being has a cause. I don't even have to believe in God to realize the truth of that statement. Since the universe had a beginning, something had to cause it to come into being.

The Big Bang theory simply tells us that the universe expanded from a singularity. It does not tell us anything about how that singularity came to be. It could be but a single stage in an eternal cycle; we simply do not know. In other words, the universe as we know it had a beginning, but thus far, we know of no way of extracting the necessary information about the origins of the singularity. Heck, we still don't understand the first 10^(-57) seconds after the Big Bang. That doesn't mean that we should attribute the universe to a deity. Science is not so insecure as to not be able to acknowledge that it doesn't know the answer.
