The lost mass has been converted to energy and is governed by Einstein’s equation, E=M*C^2.....and that energy is the explosive power in an atomic bomb. Similar idea for a fusion bomb....there is still a loss of mass when two hydrogen atoms are fused into a helium atom that is converted to energy.

No, Ken, like I said, the Big Bang theory requires observation, hypothesis, experimentation, and theorizing. And with all that, the understanding that it is a theory and parts of it or the whole thing could change with new discoveries, technologies, hypotheses, etc. That's the wonders of science, Ken....you, observe, hypothesize, experiment, and theorize....with the understanding that you may not have the whole picture....and that future discoveries may drastically affect current ideas.

Well, it doesn't really explain how life began.

First of all, Ken, why does excluding it make it seen as a myth? Faith is a very personal thing and there are many different kinds of faiths and beliefs...even inside Christianity alone. So, isn't the best way to placate everyone is just to leave it out of the public forum and let everyone pursue it in their own personal way? Teaching any religious faith or belief as a myth would also be a violation of the Separation of Church and State. And, second, so you want to include faith-based teaching in public schools...OK, whose faith do we teach?
