The way i see it a belief is something that u believe to be true but without physical evidence and proof. People can believe what they want as long as they dont force their views that there is no physical evidence or proof of. I mention the measurement problem coz it proves that somethings science cant explain with out our understanding of our knowledge and laws of physics. As it is something we dont understand a higher power governs beyond our world and dimension of physics. It doesnt have to be God it could be something 4 dimensional that our defies the laws of physics in the 3 dimensional world.

Belief is anything you hold to be true, things both with and without evidence. A strong belief in something to be true without any evidence is called faith. As I said, people are free to believe whatever they want but if they make those beliefs public, then they open themselves up to criticism.
It would have been nice if you answered my question on the measurement problem rather than just summarize what I already said. As I pointed out there are still many areas in science we don't have answers to but you seem to focus on the measurement problem and I asked why. Do you think a higher power makes the decision as to the final state of a collapsed waveform of every particle? Sorry, I just don't understand your thinking on how and why a consciousness needs to be involved in determining the actual physical state of a particle once it is observed. It seems to me that even though science doesn't fully understand it, that it is probably a natural process. Besides, some ideas, like the many-worlds hypothesis, eliminates the measurement problem altogether. Gaps in our knowledge do not imply a god and I am really having a hard time understanding how this specific gap can be answered by the introduction of such a being.
well first off, I dont disagree with the FACTS, but most of the big bang is theory. The universe was not created from nothing, it had to be created from something we perceive as nothing; dark matter is a good candidate if you ask me. but as for information were basing off of it, just turn on the history channel when its about space...then tell me how much of that you believe
Please learn some science, especially the meaning of scientific theory. A theory is not a guess or hunch, it is a solid model of nature that explain the facts we observe. Theories do not somehow get elevated to facts, they remain a theory and get improved upon over time. Is it a 'fact' that bacteria and viruses cause disease? No, it is part of germ theory. Is it a fact that splitting atoms releases massive amounts of energy? No, it is part of a theory borne from special relativity. We test these theories all of the time and they appear to be accurate and eventually become indistinguishable from fact yet nature has a way of throwing us curve balls and a theory can be amended and improved to become even more accurate and precise. In science, we reserve the use of the word 'fact' to mean the data collected, the observations we make. A theory is always a composite of a lot of facts with some reasoning as to why these facts behave as they do. A theory is about the why and how things occur, the mechanism behind the facts that we can see.
Second, the BBT does not say the universe came from nothing although that is common to hear similar statements in many popularized science shows and articles but it is misleading and ultimately incorrect. The only thing that the BBT says for sure is that at one point, approximately 13.7 bya, our universe existed in a small, hot, dense state and then something happened and it began to expand rapidly. The theory does not answer (yet) what preceded this extremely small, hot universe or where it came from if it didn't always exist.
