THE PROBLEM:

For millennia, faith in a higher power steering the cosmos was universal. Belief in God or gods as the grand architects was the norm. But now, progressives say forget the supernatural, we have an amazing alternative explanation. Our universe's origins and evolution is all quite simple and natural, just one big cosmic accident. It is all explained by “science” and it’s the be-all, end-all for our universe's mysteries.

The only problem? This alternative theory is far from scientific. In fact, it defies science!

Their theory

• Has more holes than a block of Swiss cheese at a mouse convention.
• Is more shaky than a Jello tower in an earthquake.
• Requires more suspension of reality than a flat-earther's globe collection.

So why are folks buying into this narrative, with belief in God nosediving in the West? Why are people thinking this pseudo-science is progressive, when it's really just a rerun of the dark ages when scientists hawked their theories like street vendors without a shed of empirical proof? 

It's all about the sales pitch.

The folks peddling this narrative are slick. They create relatable and catchy terms like "Big Bang Theory" and “Evolution” on the one hand but then hit us with the heavy artillery—quark-gluon plasma, singularity, quantum chromodynamics, etc…- on the other.

The purpose? They make the average Joe think scientists must be on another level. "We're the brainiacs, you're out of your league, just nod along." Don't sweat the complex details, don’t peek behind the curtain at the geniuses working on this stuff. It's a masterclass in marketing: keep the message simple but the facts inaccessible. That way, no one questions the emperor's new clothes, even if he's strutting around in his birthday suit.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

Why do we care? Why not let them continue to dazzle and bamboozle?

This isn't merely an intellectual exercise; it's a quest for truth in a debate central to our very being. The folks pushing this narrative are perpetrating great damage on humanity, not once, but twice. 

First off, they're misleading us on the most existential question of our lives —the big question about how and why we're here. 

Second, they're tarnishing the reputation of genuine scientific inquiry—the kind of science that's backed by evidence, the kind that actually makes life better.
