The Bible told us about the Big Bang (read more) Would you agree?

Question

“The best data we have [on the big bang] is exactly what I would have predicted had I nothing to go on but…the Bible as a whole.” – Arno Penzias, Nobel Prize winning co-discoverer of background radiation

If you read Genesis, it states the exact order things would have had to occur in the process of the Big Bang. It's funny that an author got it right 7,00 years ago.

The problem is that entropy and the state of order rely on chance. Chance alone is not enought to produce complex organisms. But is it plausible that chance was not a forcless entity? Is it possible the order that existed an a magnitude much greater than we know it in our universe today could have began with a touch of force from a higher intelligence?Could creationism and the Big Bang theory exist together, imporving the likelyhood of a creator?

Why did creation of Earth require the sun? could it not have been a body that happened upon the orbit of the sun, colliding with another body during it's entry to orbit, and creating the moon? Also the Bible says the Earth was formless, at that time, not a sphere, and that later on there was a separation of water, mass, and gasses.

Answer 1

Ahhh, I like your question, deep thought....

The best thing I can come up with after much thought of the creation of the universe is that it is a result of chaos from the lawlessness of nothingness. I have wrote this in another answer to another question b-4. The creation of the universe can not be explained by physics we have. Physical laws did not exist at the instant of the big bang. I believe the universe we live in today could have been 10 billion times more massive or 10 billion times less massive as it was dictated from lawlessness.

Now a very interesting thought I have recently pondered is our existence is actually a 'plan' of the universe in effort to thwart its' inevitable demise. Maybe our universe has a urning, as we do, to live forever, and from the moment of its' creation there was the plan to allow circumstances within it allowing life to form and evolve in hopes that one day we or some other intelligent life could figure out a way to make the universe last, or live, forever.

Answer 2

I don't see any problem in co relating Big Bang with Creation. The Big Bang theory proved that there is a beginning of time. A Universe with no beginning means it was not created.

Answer 3

No.

Genesis is wrong in almost every respect on the beginnigs of the universe.

Starting at the first verse, there were billions of years between the creation of the universe (heavens) and earth - they were not simultaneous.

Creation of the earth required existence of the sun, so there could not hve been darkness over the surface of the deep...

Need I go on, or do you give in.

Answer 4

According to Genesis, God is not limited to the standards we are. Notice that the sun, moon and stars were created on the fourth day of creation. Genesis and evolution of any kind have nothing in common.

Answer 5

Evereything is subject to personal interpretation. There is evidence to suggest the big bang, creationism and that each existed on its own contrary to each other and, as you state, they existed together. This is a subject for debate for all time to come.

Answer 6

I've never understood why science and religion are seen as so incompatible. Isn't it possible that God is bound by the same laws of physics, but mearly has a perfect understanding of those laws?

Answer 7

No, there is really is no such thing as chance, randomness or chaos. These are only high degrees of improbability. Given enough time, anything possible will happen.

Answer 8

Using ideas of entropy to define how the universe evolved is incorrect.

Answer 9

I've said for years that Chance is just Science's name for God. Of course, science doesn't know everything...

Answer 10

Could this explain how the cream got in the twinkie too?
