Big Bang........ Big silence....

i am 32, old enough to remember being told to refute the big bang as untrue by my parents and the religion they brought me up in.. it was a big decision for me even as a teen, i knew i was choosing a side, i remember my physics teacher laughing and mocking me and the other jw for denying the big bang.

our parents arranged that in our exams we were allowed to answer questions on the big bang in a unique manner:.

"scientists claim......... but as a jw i do not subscribe to this belief.".
