Typical.  A Christian moron tries to lend some scientific gloss
to his statements by throwing in a little statement about some
scientific theory.  For your information, the "big-bang" theory
makes hundreds of predictions about the future, from
the relative abundance of sub-atomic particles and their
anti-particles (over time) to deductions on flux density.
Stick to your Bible and psuedo-science creationism and stay away
from things you know nothing about.

Of course creationism predicts the future - because the Bible predicts
the future.  What a wonderfully scientific argument!  At least its
not hypocritical, in that it shows that creationism is supported
by Biblical mumbo-jumbo and not by scientific methodology.  The
Bible predicts the future in the same way a gypsy's crystal ball
predicts the future - through appeal to superstition, NOT deductive 
analysis of empirical data.  Thats the entire point; thats why
creationism is not science, and why claiming if it IS science only
adulterates the good name of science.  Don't prostitute science
through association with creationism; which is based on blind faith
and black magic.
