So it would be safe to say, science has no facts beyond that 70 billion light year range. That range beings an unmeasurable fraction of what existence may really turn out to show. It seems that much of the denial of a creator comes from the fear there may be a creator as easily as there may not .Which side do people choose to accept. Just
