I'd be less inclined to be an atheist if the bible started with something like this.
"In the beginning, God said, "Let there be . . . . and he created the unified forces of physics, with perfect symmetry and precision. And out of nothing, and into nothing, God, by a free decision, set up the spontaneous production of particles, in newborn space and time, producing a silent, seething sphere, infinitessimally small and unimaginably hot. There was onset and evolution, the first stage of creation."
