Miley Cyrus has taken aim at her most outspoken and religious Twitter followers after they sent her hateful tweets for suggesting she was a fan of the Big Bang theory.

The “Climb” singer posted a photo with a quote from physicist Lawrence Krauss online last week.

The note read, “You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements (carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, all the things that matter for evolution) weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in stars. So forget Jesus. Stars died so you can live.”

The tweet upset some followers who believe God created the earth – and many jumped on Twitter to reprimand the pop star.

Cyrus has since responded, “How can people take the love out of science and bring hate into religion so easily?

“It makes me sad to think the world is this way. Like Einstein says, ‘Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.'”
