idolatry and the big bang theory

Of course, they will never explain why attacks on idolatry are wrong,

You didn't make an attack on idolatry. You made an attack on basic
science, and you were wrong. I didn't call you ignorant; you entered the
room with a loudhailer and announced the fact yourself.
It is certainly conceivable that our
interpretations of the telescope observations are wrong and the laws
of the universe distant from us are different than what we
experience here. In fact, this is not only conceivable but
probable. We have observed many weird things in the universe and
it is not a simple thing to understand. So for instance, it is
probable that these universal constants are not really so universal.
Why is this 'probable'? Give one example that supports your
contention.
Then the idolator plays dumb.
No. The rationalist (that would be me) asks a sensible question and the
fool (that would be you) declines to answer it. From this, the
dispassionate observer might well infer that the fool can offer no
evidence whatever for his assertion.
