Creationists stick fingers in their ears as scientists reveal more evidence to support "Big Bang" theory.

Physicists announced Thursday that they now have the smoking gun that shows the universe went through extremely rapid expansion in the moments after the big bang, growing from the size of a marble to a volume larger than all of observable space in less than a trillion-trillionth of a second.

The discovery — which involves an analysis of variations in the brightness of microwave radiation — is the first direct evidence to support the two-decade-old theory that the universe went through what is called inflation.

It also helps explain how matter eventually clumped together into planets, stars and galaxies in a universe that began as a remarkably smooth, superhot soup.

You know sometimes this kind of scientific explanation makes my brain hurt. I still find this kind of stuff endlessly fascinating though.

It can't be much longer before we find that God fellow. There are only so many places he could be hiding.
