If evolutionists say the universe started with the big bang, what blew up and where did that come from?

Answer 1

Big Bang theory and Evolution are not connected in any way. They are just jointly supported by many scientific minds, because they are universally confirmed in the scientific literature.

There is nothing in Big Bang theory that states what happens before the Big Bang, it just describes what has happened since. That's where _________ [insert personal diety here] comes in.

Answer 2

The big bang started with an infinitely small, infinitely dense ball of something so hot that it was not yet matter or energy, but something in between. As it expanded, it cooled and formed into matter and energy which formed the universe we know today. As for where it came from, some physicists think that events similar to the big bang are hppening all the time, and as universes die out, new ones form from the remains. The reason this is the only one we know of is that this is the only one capable of supporting life. If any one of the physical constants were changed, life could not exist. For instance, if gravity were about 2% stronger, the universe would have collapsed in on itself billions of years ago. If gravity were weaker the sun could not hold planets in its orbit and the Earth would be a frozen wasteland without heat and light from the sun.

Answer 3

Most current belief I've seen is that everything always WAS and that currently the universe is expanding slowly (which scientists claim to have proven) once the expansion (still the force from the big bang) ceases, everything will start to collapse in on the gravitational center of the universe getting more and more crushed. Eventually the pressure will get to be so great that it'll overcome the gravity and BANG!!! the cycle starts all over again.

Answer 4

Evolutionists don't care about that. Astronomers and Physicists suspect there may have been a "big bang", and are working with that theory, until another one with more evidence comes up. Evolutionists, or Anthropologists simply study the ways that biology changes over time.

Answer 5

Can a Christian believe in: Evolution? - No the massive Bang? - certain Evolution: there is no indication from the Bible that creatures developed. they're defined as new creations, in accordance to their 'style.' It explicitly says that Adam changed into formed from the dirt of the earth, no longer from some previous ape-like creature. Theistic evolution isn't stumbled on interior the Bible. Genesis financial ruin 2 isn't in chronological order. notwithstanding, God changed into nonetheless turning out to be on day six after Adam changed into created. Eve changed into his very last introduction, and there have been not any new creations after that. God is now in his day of relax. large Bang: the massive Bang as a results of the indisputable fact that is at present understood does no longer contradict the Bible. It surely helps the Bible in that it shows that the universe had a initiating. Genesis a million:a million is undated and under no circumstances linked to what follows. The six days of Genesis situation God's formation of an already latest earth. So besides the actuality that if one believes in six literal days of Genesis (that is not in any respect needed, and is unlikely), the universe ought to nonetheless be billions of years old.

Answer 6

The big bang theory of late has lost some ground to the string theory. Imagine the early universe to me one of many thin films. Each film can be compared to the sheets hung out to dry on, and yet since these are inconsistent they sway and wave, Each time a shet touches another it causes a ripple effect and maybe even antimatter meeting matter would cause an expl;osion and thus a split sheet gets created. Much like lightning only larger. Each sheet is therefore an universe in itself and yet parrallel to many others. Each touches and merges with another thus the theory of time and place in effect changes.

Answer 7

Evolution is not a theory about the creation of the universe. You should be careful about how you characterize the position of evolutionary theorists relative to the Big Bang Theory. The two are not related at all. Evolution makes no claim about the creation of the universe, nor does the Big Bang Theory make any claims about natural selection, evolution, or anything of the sort.

Since your question seems to imply a concern about religious and spiritual connotations of the theory, read this section of the Wikipedia article, or follow the link below to the article there:

Philosophical and religious interpretations
There are a number of interpretations of the Big Bang theory that are extra-scientific. Some of these ideas purport to explain the cause of the Big Bang itself (first cause), although science cannot possibly show a first cause, so they have been criticized by some naturalist philosophers as being modern creation myths. Some people believe that the Big Bang theory lends support to traditional views of creation as given in Genesis, for example, while others believe that the Big Bang theory is inconsistent with such views.

The Big Bang, as a scientific theory, is not based on any religion. While some religious interpretations conflict with the Big Bang story of the universe, there are many other interpretations that do not.

The following is a list of various religious interpretations of the Big Bang theory:

A number of Christian churches, the Roman Catholic Church in particular, have accepted the Big Bang as a possible description of the origin of the universe, interpreting it to allow for a philosophical first cause. Pope Pius XII was an enthusiastic proponent of the Big Bang even before the theory was scientifically well established. This view is shared by many religious Jews in all branches of rabbinic Judaism.
Traditional Jewish sources describe a creation ex nihilo that can be interpreted as consistent with the Big Bang. Adherents of Kabbalah, esoteric Jewish mysticism, accept the Big Bang theory as factual, and relate it to the theory of "divine retraction" (tzimtzum) as explained in Jewish mystical texts, such as the Zohar.
Some modern Islamic scholars believe that the Qur'an parallels the Big Bang in its account of creation, described as follows: "Do not the unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together as one unit of creation, before We clove them asunder?" (Ch:21,Ver:30). The claim has also been made that the Qur'an describes an expanding universe: "The heaven, We have built it with power. And verily, We are expanding it." (Ch:51,Ver:47). Parallels with the Big Crunch and an oscillating universe have also been suggested: "On the day when We will roll up the heavens like the rolling up of the scroll for writings, as We originated the first creation, (so) We shall reproduce it; a promise (binding on Us); surely We will bring it about." (Ch:21,Ver:104).
Certain theistic branches of Hinduism, such as in Vaishnavism, conceive of a theory of creation with similarities to the theory of the Big Bang. The Hindu mythos, narrated for example in the third book of the Bhagavata Purana (primarily, chapters 10 and 26), describes a primordial state which bursts forth as the Great Vishnu glances over it, transforming into the active state of the sum-total of matter ("prakriti"). Other forms of Hinduism assert a universe without beginning or end.
Buddhism has a concept of a universe that has no creation event, but instead goes through infinitely repeated cycles of expansion, stability, contraction, and quiescence. The Big Bang, however, is not seen to be in conflict with this since there are ways to conceive an eternal universe within the paradigm. A number of popular Zen philosophers were intrigued, in particular, by the concept of the oscillating universe.

Answer 8

I am not an evolutionist. I don't agree OR disagree with the "big bang" theory. If it happened that way it was because that was the way God chose to start this whole thing.

Answer 9

First of all, this has nothing to do with evolution.
Evolution is a biological theory,
Big bang is a physical theory.
The matter was already present in the universe, it was just compressed to a single infinitely small dot. Then it burst.
Maybe before that there was already a universe that was constantly contracting (who knows?)

Answer 10

Was that the booming voice of God, saying, "Let there be light."? That's a good question, and it would make me think that God did in fact initiate the existence of the universe. Where did it all come from?
