this for all of you non-believers/athiest, how do you think the world was created?

Question

why do you think think this is a better theory than christianity? sorry if im all you know ( cant explain it) but i just trying to see on your point of view.

God didnt say how he did it.. it might be that he is the one that created the big bang what ever its called.. everything your saying has no evidence of happening

Answer 1

Well, start at the big bang and move forward.
Trust me, there's a hell of a lot more evidence of the big bang than there is of Creationism. You just need to take off your holy blinders to see it.

Answer 2

You've got a hidden ambiguity there - are you talking about "the universe", "the planet Earth", or "humanity"?

As far as I know, it's impossible to determine how the universe was created. It may not be impossible at some point in the future (if, for example, it is demonstrated that the universe created itself through some time-loop trickery), but at present all science can deduce is that there was probably a Big Bang, and we can't see anything before it.

As for Earth, my best recollection is that it formed from star dust - mostly from iron left over from several generations of prior stars - around the same time the rest of the Solar System formed, and its placement is mostly happenstance. (The Moon was the result of a hefty chunk of asteroid pounding into the planet and knocking a few quintillion tons off into orbit.)

Life on Earth? From what I hear, water and carbon and heat differentials were around in sufficient quantities to make a rather interesting soup of organic chemicals, in which presumably formed the first reproducing organisms. Several billion years of evolution later, Darwin et al. got born and figured out how it may have happened, and a consensus grew that seems now pretty likely.


Frankly, if you're curious about this sort of thing, my best recommendation is to examine the FAQs at talkorigins.org, or possibly chat with the folks in the Evolution/Creationism forum of the Internet Infidels Discussion Board, IIDB. Those sources would be able to give you much more detailed information the theories preferred by us godless heathens.


Addendum: I am pretty troubled by your assertion that "there's no evidence how it happened". Scientists have been hunting for evidence and testing hypotheses for a long time - the theories they offer are based on a lot of truth, whether or not you believe them. As for whether there was intelligence causing the Big Bang, I generally obey Ockham's dictum, and refrain from proposing entities I haven't seen proven.

Addendum: I almost forgot part of your question. Why do I think the theories I describe here are better than Christianity? Weight of evidence, really. I don't see that any single book can be considered more convincing than an entire body of critical research referencing tremendous amounts of evidence from scads of different sources. While there is evidence supporting some of the events in the Bible, the creation stories therein are _far_ less supported by known evidences than modern scientific theories.

If the Bible is the inerrant word of an omniscient deity, of course, that's different. But the evidence that an omniscient deity exists is weak as well.

Answer 3

I don't think the Christian creation story merits being called a "theory." Saying "God did it" is just a way of begging the question. I have no idea how the universe came into being, but I think I can safely assume that an anthropomorphic God was not involved, simply because this concept of God seems so fantastically improbable – even more so than quarks and neutrons and black holes.

Answer 4

The world was not created, it was formed from an accretion disk that originally encircled the early sun. We know this because of the numerous scientific discoveries that support it, including evidence of such accretion occurring around distant stars. We know many things about our planet and the life that is on it because of EVIDENCE that is testable and verifiable by many branches of science.

This is what Christianity lacks--evidence--and it is what makes science better than religion. Religion tells you to be content with "God did it" as an explanation for everything; science encourages you to ask questions, seek answers, back up your answers with proof, and get independent verification from others. Religion teaches that there is a "higher power" that does everything for everyone; science says "prove it" and theists can't. All they have are opinions based on religious indoctrination, and their highly subjective feelings and emotions.

Answer 5

the big bang theory and evolution makes more sense then this god snapping his finger and "creating" man from dirt.

the whole idea of creation is nothing but a fairytale

the big bang and evolution is so complex for most religious people to take the time to understand so they simpley say god did it as a copout answer. just like they claimed that god causes earthquakes, thunder and lighting and other natural events that can be explained through science

Answer 6

I think that saying the earth was created by spreading it all over with a butterknife from a big tub of earth goo is a better "theory" than some guy snapping his fingers and six days later, there ya go.

Thats NOT a theory. Its at best a representation of what may have happened over billions of years....at worst, its a lie that led to the killing of millions.

Answer 7

Uh, pick up a science book. There's tons of information on how the Earth was formed. And why do I think the scientific view is better than the fairy tales in the Bible? Because they are based on evidence, not belief. Belief is no way to explore the world. Evidence is.

Answer 8

Yoda Green said, "The study of the beginning of our universe is called Abiogenesis." This is not what Abiogenesis is. It is the notion of spontaneous generation of living matter from non-living matter. If evolution is true then at some point this had to happen. Your grandfather the rock had to become your grandfather the amoeba.

Check out this article at the link below and see if you still think so. "Why Abiogenesis Is Impossible," by Dr. Jerry Bergman

Don't be afraid, if you are right you have nothing to fear, and if you are wrong surely you would want to find out.

Answer 9

Well I believe in Gods creation but...
Take an earth science course. You'll be shocked at the end.
The theory is that the "Big Bang" occured and a star at the end of its life exploded. So the world was created...and a mix of molecules made oxygen nitrogen and such....cells adapted to it and billions of years passed and these cells adapted to survive...and so we have present day.

Answer 10

well m theory says that the universe was created when two other universes in the muliverse collided causing the big bang, but that is a really new theory. other people say that the universe always existed (if you dont think that is possible then how was God created?).
