Really? And who did you challenge exactly? Have you ever heard of Cosmic microwave background radiation? Of course you haven't, given that you're so deluded that you think the evidence for the big bang is imaginary.

At least you've properly regarded religion as fantasy here. The beauty of science is that every theory on offer is falsifiable, and can be proven wrong. Whenever evidence that disproves a theory or part of a theory, science isn't bad because some scientists got it wrong before, science is great because it can admit when it was wrong and there is everything to be gained by proving someone else wrong (nobel prizes, notoriety, etc...)

The scientific community is open to any reason or evidence you have for your mystical claims, but the problem is that your claims are designed so that they cannot be falsified and they also offer no useful predictive value.

We're willing to change our minds and are more than open about what it would take to do so. Is that the same case with your beliefs? Are you open minded to evidence that would contradict it?
