kallcium,
​
So in my conclusion, for me it takes faith to believe that God made the universe and caused it to accelerate the way it is, just is it requires an "equal and oppisite" faith the the big bang took care of that with the help of dark matter.
​
Actually, this isn't true. Your position requires the invention of a supreme being which we are expected to believe existed forever. This is a far less parsimonious explanation than not having a divine explanation. So, no, it is not an "equal & opposite" level of faith.

kallcium,
​
Yeah actually the therory about the big bang is I believe that matter is eternal. That takes as much faith to believe as there is a supreme being that is eternal.
​
The point is that it doesn't. Reread my last post.
