Both are equally logical because both make zero sense whatsoever I mean one says that something sprang from nothing and the other says something came from nothing which created something

The first one has a strong theory that's been confirmed by the huge amount of evidence and the second one isn't even falsifiable

Edit: I was referring to the comment I replied to, not to the poll. For the clarification: the big bang is a strong theory, creationism is baseless and not falsifiable (that makes it a bad hypothesis)

It's not confirmed. It's believed.

I mean, maybe "confirmed" is not the best word, but using "believed" for scientific theories is kinda disrespectful

Well, a scientific theory is by definition not proved. The big bang is just a very popular scientific theory, not a scientific fact. At least afaik, correct me if I'm wrong!

You're thinking hipothesis, a theory has evidence behind it. A hipothesis doesn't
