    I do not, why would I?

    nobody asserts that, they assert that we don’t know, which is accurate it is religion that asserts it happened through magic

          You may not understand science as well as you think you do. There is evidence that supports the theory, but it is untested until it is repeated in a controlled experiment. According to the scientific method, the vast majority of the field of astrophysics remains untested.

            i don’t assume the vast majority of astrophysics is true

            neither do astrophysicists

                be·lief noun

                1. an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists.

                “his belief in the value of hard work”

                \2. trust, faith, or confidence in someone or something.

                “I’ve still got belief in myself”

                I don’t believe in anything without evidence and if I do I seek to correct that

                belief without evidence is a failure of the mind

                    This chain of comments is so painful to read. What in the world makes you think astrophysicists believe in anything that isn’t tested? And why do you think we do?

                    No neither do astrophysicists, they think it might be true with healthy skepticism

                    or they have proven it true with observation, neither of which applies to religion

                    are you confident you’re not the arrogant one?
