Is Creationism and the Big Bang at a stale mate?

Yes; we are at a stalemate. Neither view has enough evidence to persuade everyone that their way is best since the big-bang theory has no explanation for the particle and creation has no explanation for God. Either view takes faith and in that way, they are both religions so you have to pick which one you are going to fit in with. I believe in creation because it is easier for me to believe that there is all powerful God that always is and always was than that there just happened to be a particle of dust here from eternity to eternity. I like the definite solution of "nothing" every having begun at any point, than the indefinite solution that "something" may have begun at some point. I know you said no preaching but I encourage you to read a book on darwinism/ the big bang theory and the book "The Case for Christ". I'm not a religious nutcase, I'm simply someone who thinks you should be totally informed of both biased opinions before you make a desicion that will forever change your life. :) good luckk!
