Big bang and the bible, opinions?

thoughts...opinions?

The Bible says God did it. The Big Bang theory tells us what it looked like when He did it.

For me the Bible answers the most important questions ('who' and 'why') but the science of 'how' is also extremely important.

What do you mean? Specify your question.

oh, I had a websit link put in, but it was removed. if anyone's interested I'll funmail you.

If you're wise you'll go with the Bible, God's word.

if you are realistic you will believe in the big bang theory, science.

The book of Genesis is not, nor was it ever intended to be, a scientific text. It should not be treated as such.

Big bang and bible...
thoughts...opinions?
one is a single word the other consist of a really short sentence. . .

This is the info hat was on the site..

Another Theory of how the world came to be is through a process starting with a "Big Bang".

The Big Bang is a theory that sounds impressive on the surface, but simply does not hold up to extensive examination.

Here is how the Big Bang is presented:

Somewhere between 18 and 20 billion years ago, all of the matter in the universe was compressed into a tiny space no larger than the dot on a page. This dot spun faster and faster until it exploded, thus creating the Universe and everything in it.

There are many problems with this theory. And the theory itself still does not answer many important questions.. Such as where did all the matter come from?

If all the matter in the universe was compressed into a small dot, what caused this to happen? Where did gravity come from that held it together?

If this "dot" spun rapidly until it exploded., then where did the energy come from to start the spinning?

Also, in an environment without friction you would have this spinning dot going so fast it would then explode. If this happened, then all of the particles and matter being expelled from this "spinning dot" would all have to spin in the same direction as the dot they exploded from.

This is a known law of science, which those who believe in Evolution cannot do away with. It is known as the Conservation of angular momentum.

This matter which is said to have created the planets would all need to spin in the same direction as the object it came from.

So therefore, all of the planets should be spinning in the same direction.

However two of them are not. Venus and Uranus spin backwards.

Some planets even have moons that not only spin backwards, but travel backward around their planets.

The Big Bang theory also ignores the First law of Thermodynamics, which says:
"matter cannot be created or destroyed"

Those who believe in the Big Bang theory are also either unaware of, or ignore the "Second Law of Thermodynamics" which says:
"Everything tends towards disorder"

So rather than the chaos (big bang) becoming ordered (our universe), just the opposite would be true.. And it is. Our complex universe is wearing down, and becoming more chaotic...

Paul was aware of this when he wrote his letter to the Hebrews:
Everything ".. waxes old like a garment"

Things wear down. Nothing gets better by itself.

If I told you that thousands of pieces of timber were set in motion by a tornado in a lumberyard and this ultimately resulted in the amazing design and complexity of the house you live in, you would think this was absurd to say the very least.

Yet in essence this is what the Big Bang theory teaches.

Now I know that anyone whose bedroom resembles mine might say that a tornado ripped through it, the tornado did not create my room. It created the mess that is throughout my room.

Even if millions of years of tornados did somehow randomly land in a complex pattern thus assembling my room, this would still not explain where the trees came from that were made into the lumber.

It would not explain who planted, or cut the trees, or even how the trees grew.

You see, such theories do not give an absolute answer of truth. They only serve to cause people to become distracted and lose sight of the larger picture of the Creator and who God is. Satan is a master of deception and distraction. He wants you to lose sight of Christ, and focus on impossible things.

The Big Bang theory also teaches that in another 80 to 100 billion years, all of the matter that makes up our Earth and solar system will become compressed again, drawing in on itself and fold up once again into a tiny dot.

A Big Bang is said to occur every 80 to 100 billion years.

If the Big Bang theory is true, then I sure hope Jesus comes back soon, otherwise we’re all going to get squished!

As absurd as the "Big Bang" theory is, it is widely accepted because the only other choice is a Divine Creator. And some people will believe the most ridiculous theory, rather than even entertaining the possibility that there could be a Creator.

As I see it, there are only 2 choices.
Either someone created the Earth,
or the Earth created itself..
(despite all the known Laws of Science saying it couldn't have happened this way).

Now there are those who say that maybe God used the "big bang" to create the world.

Well, God is God, and he can do anything he wants but scripture tells us that this is not how he created.

God’s creation was one of order, not random processes.

Those who try to reconcile the Big Bang with scripture do themselves and the Bible injustice. For the Creation account and the Big Bang differ greatly in the order of events.

Order of events in the Biblical account of Creation, compared to the order of events in the Big Bang theory.
Biblical Creation Big Bang
Earth was created before the stars / Earth formed long after the stars
Plants were created a few hours before the sun./ Plants formed after the sun formed
The sun was created on the fourth day after the earth / The sun formed before the earth
The sun, moon and stars were created at the same time /The sun formed from older stars

now... thoughts? opinions?

el_ricardo_77- if you think that it is more logical to believe that SOMEONE created the earth than to believe that the earth created itself, you have got to believe in magic aswell.

The big bang isn't mentioned in the Bible, if that's what you mean.

Of course, heliocentrism and a spherical earth are also not mentioned in the Bible.

No real prof for big bang. more for intel. desine

I agree totally with Floss...

Definatly the universe is natural and uncreated but the question is where did it all come from, right? Well it came from intense heat and energy produced by the Big Bang. But what did cause the Big Bang, maybe the answer is a lot simplier then we think maybe explosions happen in empty space sporadically, due to energy fluctuations(ps gravity DOES exists in empty space) and being surrounded by nothing and sense nothing there to stop it, it keeps on expanding to great distance. What's great about the Big Bang theory is it helps guide to an understanding of the universe up to the current state, and everything in it.

The laws of Thermodynamics have to do with our universe as it is at physical level. Intense heat and energy would form matter. How matter changes, and forms is due to it's enviorment. The evidence for Big Bang theory is definatly there.

Contrary to the Bible, the Big Bang happened billions of years and stars;galaxies existed before Earth ever came along. And the sun formed before Earth and the moon after. Earth 4.5 billion years ago was a very different place then it is now.

Even if there wasn't the Big Bang theory, I still would not believe in a creator, too illogical.

I believe God created the "Big Band"- and if God did, then our mistake is that the order of how the big bang began is wrong. In Genesis where it tells of the story of creation it also says that a million years is like a day in God's eyes. If I hadn't read this with my own eyes I would probably have said the creation story is too mythical and irrelevant.

And as a born again Christian I believe that when you know and believe that God ( or a supreme being) created the universe, you have no doubt about God's creation and what he can do or already does. You might not still understand or believe me but I won't force you to do so either.
