Evolutionist and Atheists...a few questions for you?

Question

If the universe started with the "Big Bang" then where did energy come from to cause the Big Bang? Also, how can a giant explosion cause anything but chaos?

Answer 1

In as much as I was not around to see how everything came into being (and neither were you),I say, "I don't know ..... YET!" To assume that some god, my less than intellectual ancestors made up, instantaneously farted the universe into being, is absurd

Answer 2

The energy didn't "come" from anywhere, according to current theory, it always existed because time was created by the big bang. Therefore, there was no "before" the big bang.

We know the big bang happened because everything is currently expanding away from everything else. Which means as we move forward in time, things are farther away from one another, and as we move back in time, things are closer together. Which means at one time, far back enough, everything was all together at once.

I really don't see what the big bang has to do with evolution or theism, it's a fact that everything in the universe is expanding away from everything else. There's no arguing with it and it really has nothing to do with speication or the existance of God.

As for how a giant explosion can cause anything but chaos, check out the sun, which is one massive thermonuclear explosion, and then watch as the solar wind interacts with the earth's magnetic field to create aurora borealis, or as sunlight interacts with droplets of water to cause a rainbow.

Answer 3

Q: If the universe started with the "Big Bang" then where did energy come from to cause the Big Bang?

A: I don't know.

Q: Also, how can a giant explosion cause anything but chaos?

A: Gravity causes all of the hydrogen and helium produced during the big-bang to coalesces into huge clouds. These clouds collapsed into stars, and eventually super galaxies. As the stars died they produced the heavier elements we know today. These heavier elements combined to form the next generation stars, galaxies, planets, and life.

Answer 4

The energy to cause the Big Bang came from the same place as whatever created God: we don't know, and we probably never will. And the giant creation did cause chaos, at first. But with time, in combination with the huge amounts of energy, the universal laws (gravity, quantum mechanics) took over, and the chaos became ordered.

Answer 5

The mixture of the correct gases and elements created the ever expanding universe but it is not how it was today. You must realize that the universe is older and larger than your particularly small brain-washed mind can ever hope to comprehend. It took billions and billions of years for our solar system and the universe itself to form out of the correct elements with help, of course, from the awesome power of physics.

And by the way, a giant explosion does not always mean destruction if it is in itself an infitinite amount of space and elements. The explosion is what caused the universe to keep expanding.


AND by the way, the universe isn't infinite! That's one of the first things you learn in Astronomy 100.

Answer 6

We don't know as of yet what was "before" the Big Bang. I don't understand why "we don't know" is looked down on as an answer. Scientists will keep thinking, testing, experimenting and, some day in the future, we may have the answer. Please read up on the subject and you will find it wasn't a "giant explosion" as you understand it. And I must say it again: It's okay not to know something. It's perfectly okay to say "I don't know." Why do people get so uncomfortable with "I don't know"?

Answer 7

First let me answer your second question. If I take a beer bottle and smash it on the ground... do you think the pieces would land in some position I could call unchaotic by some means? No? Next question then... Would you classify as the universe as stable place? Think black holes/supernovas/comets/asteroids and so on...

Now to the first question... I don't necessarily believe in the Big Bang, but to entertain the theory... Nothing cannot exist without something... it creates a paradox... that first moment was the first paradox... there is a lot of power in paradoxes...

Answer 8

The Big Bang is a physicists question. Being an evolutionist and atheist, I cannot properly address this question.

However I can tell you one thing with certainty - just because science doesnt have ALL the answers YET, it does not mean that God must have created it. Absence of proof is not evidence of a creator. Understand?

Answer 9

It was not an explosion as you think of an explosion, firstly.

The inflationary era converted the potential of a high vacuum energy directly into a flood of particles and energy and lots and LOTS of space. Slight variations in the amount of particles and energy were smoothed out by the rapid expansion, but the 'damage' as it were was done -- there were gradients in the distribution of energy. This meant that information processing systems were free to coalesce. They were able, in complete agreement with the laws of thermodynamics, to self-organize because the initial inflation left a high density of useful energy -- but like the vacuum state, things strive to reach their lowest energy state. The transferance of the initial energy into the four forces of the universe, and the laws of physics, allowed the initial random soup, highly energetic, to in essence 'crystalize' into a much lower energy state. This energy state included converting much of the initial energy into gravity (creating galaxies and other, smaller structures), electromagnetic forces (molecular reaction), and the strong and weak nuclear forces (atomic forces).

Do you people bother understanding the inflationary theory and the evolutionary theory before you make fools of yourself? Sheesh.

Answer 10

Energy is never created nor destroyed, but merely changed into different forms.

Several billion years passed between the Big Bang and the emergence of life on earth.

Answer 11

If you really want to know then I recommend going to Amazon and selecting a recent work on cosmology. Issues in Cosmology is what I am currently reading. It was released in June so it's quite current. If you haven't at least had a couple years of physics it may be a bit tough for you to follow.

If you are simply another religionist throwing down a gauntlet for a response you won't accept anyway, you may wish to simply fall back on "and then magic happened." It's always easier than thinking and reading and will save you the $110 that "Issues" goes for.
