59. Well, you can hardly translate this as it assumes preparation.
After you have learned everything you can possibly learn at college about physics, cosmology, and chemistry, I ask you to show me which equations that explain same have a term in them that could possibly be the action of God. And you will be able to point to none. At least, I can point to none, and I've worked in and around high energy and nuclear physics and astronomy since I was a young man. (Many years ago...) If you could point me to one, I would be happy to hear of it, and if your argument held up, you would have converted me to a theist.

Also, we cannot say that there even was a moment of creation. It is entirely possible that what is simply is. Time may have a horizon past which we cannot in principle seem and time could be said to start then. To ask what was "before" might not even make any sense.

Now, as you brought the term up, what evidence have you of a Creation event? The Big Bang was not a Creation, merely a phase the Universe existed in. Can you say categorically that there was an event that created it? I don't think you can.
