Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything

In Bill Bryson’s A Short History of Nearly Everything, Bryson explains the beginning of the earth in an easy to read way. It seems like it was written for the person who does not know much about science or the big bang theory. The way he uses examples and explains things are really helpful to the reader. While I was reading this chapter, I kept thinking of all of the holes in the big bang theory. It seems like most cases science is false until proven true, but with the big bang theory, they just pretend like its true because they can’t prove it true or come up with anything better. I don’t particularly have a problem with the overall theory, it seems like it could work, and that it could be the way that God created the world. But, at the same time there are really only a few small details that could, possibly point to something somewhat like the big bang theory, and people just kind of accept it as fact. I think that Bryson does a good job of explaining his thoughts, but for someone who has the natural instinct of false until proven true, it does not really give any facts.
