Today, I spent hours debating with a lady who claimed she'd spent years "studying the big bang theory." Not only did she not know the scientific meaning of the word "theory", her killer argument was "If the big bang happened, where are the fossils?" I'm not sure whether or not I just got trolled. FML

Today, I told a friend I had become more religious lately. He immediately started mocking me for being a "stupid creationist bigot." When I told him how offensive that was, he acted bewildered and started condescendingly lecturing me about how "science has proven God does not exist." FML
Today, my daughter believed that watching the Big Bang Theory would count as studying for her chemistry final. FML
Today, I found out that the girl I've fallen in love with is a "young-earth/dinosaurs-lived-with-humans" crackpot. FML
Today, I presented my child with the classic "Who came first, the chicken or the egg?" conundrum. In return, I got a detailed lecture on how birds evolved from dinosaurs, how life was created in the sea and an explanation about evolution. I got schooled by a 9 year old. FML
Today, after a long discussion, my dad still doesn't understand how evolution works, and thinks it's a myth that was debunked a long time ago. FML
Today, I listened to my niece explain to me, in great detail, that the Titanic never sank, and that the year it supposedly did was a prediction of 9/11. She learned all of this from some whackjob conspiracy theory videos, and acts like she's an expert now as a result. FML
Today, I got into a heated argument with my mom, because apparently I'm an idiot for not sharing her belief that chickens are mammals. She has a university degree in this stuff. FML
Today, I had a debate at school. I had diligently studied my position, digging up historical parallels, researching the economics, and preparing citations. I lost to a guy who just yelled, "Tax the billionaires" to every question. FML
Today, I went to the Natural History Museum with my boyfriend. While we were standing in front of real dinosaur bones, he told me he didn't believe in dinosaurs. FML
Today, I disproved a scientific theory created by my supervisor. He was furious and said that I shouldn't have tried to disprove him. He told me to continue working with his theory and now he threatens to fire me if I publish my work. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

There's trolling, and then there's just flat-out stupidity.

Pssh, obviously the fossils were eaten by unicorns. Everyone knows dinosaur bones are the primary source of nutrition for unicorns. And unicorn blood is the primary nutrition of Dark Lords. It's the circle of life.

She obviously meant she studied the television show "The big bang theory" not actually anything to do with science.

Sounds like an irritating waste of time OP, but if you can't discern idiocy within a few minutes of speaking to someone, especially about topic like this, YDI.

sounds like you are the loser for arguing with a lady for hours over something nobody can prove or deny.

No, you just spent hours of your life you can't get back talking to a lunatic. Hope you enjoy feeling superior?

The Cosmic Microwave Background, or CMB, is radiation believed to be emitted from the Big Bang. The map of the emission (available on Wikipedia) matches with the predictions of the theory. Since fossils are usually remains of (living) things, CMB can be considered to be Big Bang fossil.

I clicked YDI because OP spent hours arguing with an idiot. You can't win, period.

She's just an idiot

If there was ever a line to sum up arguing on the Internet, this is it. I still don't think she's "stupid" for this opinion, however. Just misinformed maybe, or having trouble properly explaining her belief. Also, fellow atheists, cool your jets. Don't make this about religion.
