I loved it, found it inspiring and uplifting. though... not that I daren't say I have the education to dismiss the concept, but I find the idea that the big bang created time and space absolutely ridiculous.

More realistic in my mind is that time and space are eternal*, and that the big bang only created the conditions we are currently residing in.

*much bigger and longer than the 13.7 billion years since ground zero anyway.
