If you were to squeeze the contents of Earth into a diameter smaller than 1.8cm (0.7 inches) it would become a black hole. A human would have to be condensed to a size much much smaller than an atom to become a black hole.

I agree with this evilregis.
They say that even time can not escape from within this which means that time could actually stand still.
Science can not properly determine what happens to an object when it goes into a black hole, they can only theorise the results (though I am not disputing them).
Until we/science understands the workings of something like this and everything else out there, the big bang etc is just a theory.
As for the idea of forcing religion on children, can't see this happening too much as there are so many different beliefs and there would be a massive outcry from angered parents as to why their child is having another belief forced upon them.
