I am a Christian, I thought it was humorous. These men with great minds and abilities finding that the Big Bang Theory is even more possible. Yet, it is all still theory... but we have the truth, and no one wants to hear it because it convicts the soul...

I know that the scientific meaning of the word theory means that is cannot be recreated in a laboratory, I do believe that the Big Bang theory does help the creationist theory, and I also was stating my thoughts, as well as asking for your thoughts.

Think of it this way....the big bang had to have a catalyst. I can't imagine the creation of the heavens and the earth being anything less than spectacular!

Okay, slow down.
Yes, I am a Christian as well, but you have to understand that the Big Bang and Genesis have a lot in common.
The first thing that God did was make the heavens (space)
Then there was light ( Big bang )
Then he separated the light from the dark ( gas cooled a little, gravity kicked in)....
I'm sure you see where I'm going with this. If you take some time to watch God work, we usually works through event and circumstance. This way we have to question whether it was God's had or just chance. That what separates the faithful from the non-faithful.
With that in mind, couldn't it be said that the Big Bang theory is a research into God's work? I do.
-I hope this helps. best wishes.

When you look at the background radiation (which was predicted by the Big Bang theory) and the apparent acceleration of all stars (away from us, as in an explosion), what do you conclude? Even as an Atheist, I'm actually struck by the similarity between Genesis and the Big Bang. I'm surprised you're not more thrilled about this.

When you've devoted YOUR life to the research of mathematics and astrophysics, only THEN can you have any right to laugh and point at these great minds on the other side of the fence.
You're like a monolingual English speaker, laughing at French people and how they pronounce "cafe". ("Duh huh huh, dem funny peeple wit dem funny accents.")
Do you even know that for any theory to be accounted as a plausible scientific theory, it still needs to pass some criteria? It is a theory simply because to prove it, one would have to time travel back to the beginning of the universe and observe it. But you can observe tire tracks on a road and still correctly theorize that it was caused by a vehicle traversing the road even if you didn't see the vehicle. And that's how the Big Bang Theory came about.

I don't really care if they prove the big bang theory or not. I don't find that theory at all in conflict with the teachings in the Bible. Whether God caused the bang, or He organized materials a different way, it is all the same to me.
However, Atheists have to prove this type of stuff or they have nothing to stand on. So that is why anyone who comes up with little tid bits that add to this theory is celebrated as heros, without the theory, their ideas are even more ludicrous as they already are.

The whole thing doesn't mean much to me really. God could have caused the Big Bang. The Bible doesn't say HOW He created everything. I think Science meshes with Scripture on a level we can't even comprehend. I honestly don't see the competing theories as mutually exclusive.

Your right but we find the Big Bang theory as funny as they find our religion. We can all sit around and debate facts all day but Jesus wins hearts not minds. "I" know hell is as real as the chair I am sitting in but that doesn't make it more believable to those who have never been touched by the supernatural power of God, lived through a miracle or felt the Lord touch their heart. We just have to keep praying for the Lord to (just as you said) convict their souls.

I agree with the first answer, the scientists did not follow their own scientific method. I have never seen or heard of this being repeated, as the last step in the theory states.

Why is the Big Bang theory in contradiction to your Christian beliefs?
"The Big Bang is the scientific theory of how the universe emerged from a temendously dense and hot state about 13.7 billion years ago... " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang
How does this contradict that God created the universe?
God makes the plants grow (through photosynthesis).
God makes the sun rise (through the Earth's rotation).
God makes the universe (through the Big Bang).

Do your homework. Putting the word 'just' in front of the word theory does not make it less. A theory is a scientific finding, based in fact, proven by tests. Kind of like the Theory of Gravity. Please don't argue against that one. We might all float away to heaven.
I am a Christian and believe that God wanted us to learn and grow in knowledge and did not put things here to 'fake us out'.
Look at background radiation and tell me where it came from and why, then I will listen.

1. You need to look up the definition of theory in science. It is clear you don't know what it means.
2. The reason I don't care to hear your babble is because it is moronic dribble. Not because of any soul being convicted. I am sure I am far more moral than you are likely to be. When you stop condemning others who don't believe the same way you do, "Saying their soul is convicted" then maybe you can learn why people really think you are spewing crap.
