Well an atheist scientists perspective that "the big bang came out of nothing" makes as much sense as any religious text to be honest.

Very true. Big bang was actually first formulated by a Belgian Catholic priest: https://www.amnh.org/learn-teach/curriculum-collections/cosm...

It's also likely wrong, see dr robitaille's work, sky scholar on YouTube.

That isn’t related to the point I am trying to make, and it isn’t an appropriate discussion on HN as it will only burn in flames.

Let me try again:

Idea - Religion is suffering. In a better world religion is unnecessary.

CCP - We are creating a better world by ridding it of religion.

Reality - Organized religion is a major threat to governments and their narrative.

The situation is that the CCP has high sounding ideals from Marx and other communist works. Reality is that religion is a threat to their power. That a narrative that rounding up these troubled people and re-educating them is necessary for the better world to happen.

This outrage is good, but I am simply pointing out that what is happening in China shouldn’t be surprising. The ideas of Karl Marx are only dangerous because people accept ideas without critical thought, and others use his ideas to further their own real agenda under such cover. It’s all straight out of ‘Animal Farm’.

Stop with this bable.

We have evidence supporting theory of big bang. This theory best conforms with what we can observe.

The moment there is better theory, or new evidence that is contradictory we throw it out of the window.

> "the big bang came out of nothing" makes as much sense as any religious text to be honest.

Statements like this are so improportionally biased, it makes my head hurt.

Religions have solutions/answers so you don't need facts, science is the opposite and never absolute.

That said i don't give a flying f* in what other believe as long as they don't try to push it on me.

What china is doing is beyond despicable. And the comparisons to the holocaust are starting to be more and more apt.

Though it seems that they are more like reeducation (read brainwashing) camps with forced labor.

Correct me if I am wrong please, are there evidence of systematic ethnic cleansing?

I though that the hun chinese are imported from mainland and being used to displace the locals and treating them like 2nd class citizens.
