On the same theme as my last post, trying to make sense of what sounds almost as nonsensical as the religious view "god created etc" I came across this summary of current knowledge/theory which makes sense on paper but requires a suspension of disbelief on some level to accept it.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Philip, if you want to learn who has to suspend disbelief, take a fiction writing course. Or in Wikipedia, look up “suspension of disbelief”.
The summary of current knowledge/theory you referred to makes little sense because you have suspended your insistence on evidence. Keep at it and you will in time see Big Bang cosmology as a religion — words without evidence.

That's what I am struggling with. In order to 'believe' in science at the sub-atomic level one needs to accept theories on faith until they can be demonstrated materially. THE QUEST TO UNDERSTAND THE TRUE NATURE OF REALITY BECOMES A MATTER OF FAITH, WHETHER VIA RELIGION OR SCIENCE.
I don't think that this requires a suspension of disbelief. It requires study of science.
