I would go back to the big bang and record it to show everybody absolute irrefutable proof that all creation myths are false.

Well, the big bang actually seems to be perfectly in line with the creation myths...
The big bang theory was even developed by a firm believer in God: Georges Lemaître. Which of course is nothing wrong about it. It just happens to be the case. :)

Found it (hope it is true):

By 1951, Pope Pius XII declared that Lemaître's theory provided a scientific validation for Catholicism. However, Lemaître resented the Pope's proclamation, stating that the theory was neutral and there was neither a connection nor a contradiction between his religion and his theory.[

It wouldn't matter anyhow. As there is no evidence for any god or gods to exist, and still there are many gullible enough to fall for it.

Maybe the best trick ever was cheaply copied from God. Never confirm that you exist, so they stay floating between faith and doubt. If everybody knew for sure, the offerings would be endless since that is what mankind would resort to. Especially at every disaster. Now, people can just try to become the best person they want to be... And there may or may not be heaven. Unfortunately, some people are just evil. And they will use and say anything to justify their behavior. If it may be religion or appearance.
