To be fair, the Big Bang is a tough concept to grasp in and of itself. I mean you're asking someone to believe (essentially on faith, since most people aren't smart enough or don't have enough time to read in to these things themselves) that nothing exploded into everything an unfathomably long time ago. I don't doubt the Big Bang myself, but I don't think it's unreasonable to be somewhat understanding about these things.

Given the fact that the information's pretty well explained even on Wikipedia, I'm not going to agree that one should be understanding about it. There's ignorance and then there's a rank lack of curiosity.
