My point is that I have yet to hear any reasonable scientific critique of
Natural Selection, Big Bang, or any other theory by the Creation Scientists,
Intelligent Designers, or other proponents of religious psuedoscience.
Every ‘critique’ flows from a metaphysical point (non scientific) or a
misunderstanding of science (psuedoscientific).

An intelligent Designer could argue that God initiated the Big Bang. How can
Science disagree? It isn’t possible. The study of the origin of the
universe by Science is in and of itself psuedoscience.

Agreed. Which is why I have yet to see any science argue about events before
the Big Bang(1).
Those questions are best left to philosophers.

(1)= Well, not entirely true. Stephen Hawking has an interesting idea about the
history of the universe (time) measured on a different scale as being spherical.
Not infinite, but without boundaries. I’ve also read an article about
scientists who theorized that there is a giant multiverse, and our universe is
like a sheet of paper in the filing cabinet multiverse. When two sheets
collide, the resulting ‘friction’ causes something like the Big Bang - where all
this matter is created and then slowly dissipates until there is nothing again.
But then again, neither of these theories posit a statement about how it all
came to be.
