You don't need to know how a car works to drive, though.

By that I mean; you don't need to understand at a quantum level the Big Bang to think "that's what happened". It's very much the same thing with religion, which is the parralel I was trying to draw.

I know what you mean, I also know that phones work, computers work, cell phones work, planes fly, satellites orbit, etc... if science has it so wrong, absolutely none of that would ever have worked.

Well, it's not the 'Big Bang' per-se, it's how the big bang occurred when there was (as far as we know) nothing before it.  You can't use logic to wrap your head around Quantum Mechanics, because it's so seemingly illogical, but that's because we (humans) have never had any reason whatsoever to observe the world on a quantum/macro level, until very recently.

In 50 years, who knows, all of this stuff may be as second nature as simple mathemetics are now.
