Were S Club Juniors not available?

Absolutely. Rather than believe in creationism we are supposed to believe that everything came from some supposed Big Bang which started as the size of a pin prick.

Embarrassing that people like yourself lap it up with absolutely no evidence

Just as we are supposed to believe Jesus found 12 disciples in the Middle East with the names..

Simon Peter
Andre
James
John Philip
Bartholomew
Matthew
Thomas
James Simon

No evidence for The Big Bang?

Delete your account now.

Well if you are getting down to it there is no actual evidence of the big bang. It is a theory that answers many questions and is widely accepted because lots of evidence backs up the theory but it isn't actual evidence of the big bang.
The expansion of the universe is explained by the big bang theory rather than the expansion being evidence of it.

At least the other guys have an actual book, and I've seen loads of films. They even have the big man's face on a handkerchief! No evidence? Come on!

Big Bang admittedly has a really funny tv series but there is only one.

On the more specific subject of the OP, I love how they have created the grand final anthem rather than trying to copy the Cup Final.
Apparently she's pretty good too but it isn't my area of expertise.

You are kind of right.

There is lots of evidence of the BB, and of the Universe continuing to expand. "We" have the scientific confidence it happened.

There are also theories of how this has led to the creation of life.

In the Millenia that follows the Apocalypse, which is surely coming, some knob is sure to find an old copy of Harry Potter and, well...you get the idea.

Let's hope they find the rules to RL before they find the rules to NaziBall. And "The Life of Brian".

You just know there is somebody somewhere who thinks Harry is the chosen one already.

As an English Literature graduate I can tell you that analysis of Blake is always problematic. There are myriad interpretations of Jerusalem. Blake was, at the same time, sceptical about the Industrial Revolution and it's affect on working people, a supporter of the French revolution, and a deeply spiritual man. All of these elements of his character are reflected in the poem. It's not a total slagging-off of Christianity. See 'Tyger' for Blake's interest in the power of the almighty. What's for sure is that the Parry music transforms the poem into something far more upbeat and positive overall than would be the case with the verse on its own.

After my dad passed away I got a tattoo with some ver fitting Blake words

Every mortal loss is an immortal gain, the ruins of time build mansions in eternity

Very fitting. Sorry for derailing

I will reaffirm my post for the uneducated trolls.

There is no evidence of the Big Bang. It’s all theoretical.

Also, who created the supposed gas that created the Big Bang? Scientists state “it was already there”

Wow! That some Nobel peace price science right there
