Man, what flim-flam is that wacky “secular science” going to get up to next?

When is the Western world going to smarten up and abandon so-called “science” and go back to pre-enlightenment dogma?

On the other hand, perhaps the increasing number of fudge-factors needed to keep the Big Bang afloat is the cosmological equivalent of Ptolemaic epicycles.

This is Post Enlightenment science that is smarter than post enlightenment anti-religious dogma

"When is the Western world going to smarten up and abandon so-called “science” and go back to pre-enlightenment dogma?"

That had already happened at least as far back as 1859.

The Big Bandaid is dogma.

It fails completely to fit observation, but fits the feelings of its authors.

There's a difference between true science and trying to guess the origin of the universe.

What you fail to recognize is that Big Bang, abiogenesis, and single cell to man evolution are the current dogma. They are taught as fact, voraciously defended, and debate is not permitted. When indisputable evidence arises that renders the current state of the theories untenable, they are reconstructed, modified and re-asserted as fact. Then, the above cycle is repeated.

Most of us understand science, but no one can answer the questions of origins with certainty, you must have faith in something - the Bible, scientific theory, or whatever.
