just so you know, you can't use the scientific method to recreate the Big Bang, so it is scientifically impossible to prove

1.Randomness-abosolutely not true. It's obvious to anyone with eyes or the ability to percieve that things are organize and put i a certain place. everything was random then wouldnt heads end up where feet are ana legs where arms are? This stuff would happen more often if things were random as scientist proclaim.

2.Who started the original or first BANG!!?

3. Things dont occur in millions of years; they happen much faster than that.

Every universe has basically an unlimited amount of ways in which it can manifest, so universes would be created differently each time. To answer your question specifically, the determining factor of whether or not the universe would expand or contract is the total mass of the universe. This concept is closely related to the concept of escape velocity. The escape velocity of the Earth is the minimum velocity at which something can escape the Earth gravitational pull. The universe as a whole also has an escape velocity, and it is determined by the total mass of the universe. If the universe is expanding at a faster rate than it's escape velocity then it would continue on expanding for ever and everything would eventually be ripped apart. However, if the universe is expanding at a slower rate than the escape velocity, then expansion of the universe is going to at some to stop, then turn around and start collapsing onto itself, in which case we would all be crushed. A good way to think about this is with the analogy of shooting a bullet up into the air. If you shoot it fast enough, you could imagine that it could escape the earths gravitational pull and then forever drift off into space. However, in most cases it won't be going fast enough, and at a certain point it will stop moving outward away from the earth, and then turn around and start falling back the the earth. The same is true for the universe. Of course, there is always the third possibility: that the universe is expanding at just the right speed that it will never stop expanding, but will continue to slow down forever until it reaches a speed of 0 (which would happen only at infinity). This is analogous to shooting a bullet up into the air and having it neither fly off into space or fall back down). The chances of this happening are sooo small that we don't really consider it a possibility.

Take a look at Wikipedia's excellent article on the topic, it gives a good overview of the theory and evidence for it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/big_bang

I think that your premise is wrong. The idea of the Big Bang in no way disproves God's existenc. Indeed, the opposite is the case. The fact that the universe had an origin a finite amount of time ago can be used to argue for a creator through the Kalam cosmological argument, which argues:

(1) Anything which begins to exist has a cause;
(2) The Universe Began to exist;
(3) Thus, the Universe has a cause.

Anyway, when the Big Bang theory was first put forth, a lot of opposition came from atheists who thought the idea that the universe was started (instead of being eternal) had theological implications. In fact, the term "Big Bang," was coined by atheist Fred Hoyle who was a big critic of the idea.

If anything, proof that the universe began a finite time ago supports theism. Pope Pius XII, opened a conference at the Vatican in 1951, by declaring that the theory bore witness "to that primordial 'Fiat lux' uttered at the moment when, along with matter, there burst forth from nothing a sea of light and radiation. ... Hence, creation took place in time, therefore there is a creator, therefore God exists!"

The Big Bang has developed more and more proof over the years.(read: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20061003/sc_afp/nobelphysics_061003203928)

I think creationist believe the Big Bang theroy is trying to disprove there is a God. The Big Bang Theroy is an attempt to explain what happened in the very beginning at the creation of the universe we live in. Just because some people take the word of the bible literally doesn't mean the to ideas cannot coexist. If you can wrap your head around multidimensional therories it is possible to see where the energy came from to create such a massive structure. These ideas don't say this structure isn't centient, they give form and explantion to the nature of the structure. As scientist experiment more with quantum entanglement(read: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/10/061005222238.htm) it becomes more appearent that M(string)-theroy may be correct. The theroy that needs serious work is evolution. We have seen evolution at work, it's been proven that organisms change over time(like AIDS for example). Where it all falls apart is at its very beginning. We have yet to see how basic chemicals can coagualte and mix to form more complex amino acids and eventually life as we know it with out having a little help from an outside source.
The universe we live in(we can agree we live in a universe, right?) appears to us as chaos, with only a few solid connections that we can precieve. The chaos is just a system that is too complex for us to completely understand at our current positions as observers. There is nothing yet disproving that universe itself is an organism that we have to understand.

Are you asking just so you can argue that it's wrong and you're right? If so, please find something else to do with your time. You cannot effectively argue against a theory you don't know anything about. If you don't already know enough about the Big Bang to be able to name some of its "flaws" then you shouldn't be arguing against it.

For example, P.M. knows nothing about science, let alone the Big Bang. A theory is not a guess, it is something that has been tested over and over again and is probably right, and has only a small chance of being wrong. The Big Bang has nothing to do with evolution. And the Big Bang was not actually a "bang" at all. She only shows her ignorance by providing those ideas as "flaws". If you truly want to argue against the Big Bang, you better understand it first!

As a theologian explained to me- creation works with the Big Bang- Let there be light. And Gods creation continues. (Besides, the Big bang is a theory- a working model until a lot more is "discovered," why in quotes- because each year we learn more with a LOT more questions. But science and religion are not mutually exclusive.

The key I believe is not to limit God, if he/she/it is infinite and all-knowing, why wouldn't he make a nifty really fascinating Universe, and even Universes for us to explore.

God created us in his own image and likeness, right? With curiosity, a sense of humor- (look at the aardvark or the platypus,) a sense of wonder and a desire to explore and learn.

To say God only did so much and nothing else, is to limit God, to try and force God into a tiny little personal view, I prefer God as infinite, with the whole Cosmos created and scientific discovery as a way to learn more.

One reason most of the great scientists of the early ages - Christian, Muslim, Confucian, etc., were usually the monks, Mullahs, and thinkers of their times, is the connection between discovering God and science.

It's celebrating the wonderful vastness of God that's exciting to me. Take String theory- that everything in the Universe is connected in some way at some level- how does that not point to God existing. The complex structure of DNA and RNA, but it works to make us function. Somehow? God. I prefer that to a medieval view of a little god with tiny ideas and influence.

My GOD is really- really fascinating, challenging and complex in an infinite and all-knowing way.

Most Physicists have little problem equating science to God. Look at Dr. Stephen Hawking possibly the smartest man on the planet- he wrote a book basically explaining how physics, science and cosmetology all work to prove there is a God

The simple answer is Creation continues, enjoy the ride.

And please don't say- if it's not in the Bible it doesn't count- since based upon that hypophysis- don't take a plane ride or get in a car- they aren't in the bible so they must not really work or exist.

But then simply saying all God has to say is in the bible- again sorta limits God. The bible is part of the whole.

I personally can't look at the Earth, hanging in the vast blackness of space, and not feel God is watching, with perhaps a sad little smile at the antics of us humans.

You might as well go to the religion section and ask people to prove that God exists while saying that you are an atheist.

The Big Bang theory does not attempt to disprove God's existence.

Perhaps scientists will fill in the gaps in the theory as they search. Perhaps a new theory will become more popular over time. All scientists are not the impartial observers they imagine themselves to be and will interpret or attempt to interpret some data as being supportive of their theories.

So far, a scientist has not appeared who has shown him/herself to be more brilliant than this man:

"I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details." - Albert Einstein

At the point that the universe is down to thew size of a Plank length, Relativity and Quantum collide. No theory exists to get to the first instant.

Fewer problems than with Genesis. Where did the wife of Cain come from? Where did we get the genetic diversity required for a viable species? How do the "failures" of the dinosaurs and mega fauna fit into creation?

Creation dogma aside, three problems with the big bang are.
1. The amount of material in the universe is greater than it should be.

2. There are some galaxies that are older than the universe itself.

3. Recombinant DNA is only in 4 base pairs within the universal plain, and in accordance with physical laws all structures are in base of three for elemental structures to meet equilibrium. i.e. 3, 6,9 etc.

I am NOT a creationist.

You guys are ridiculous. Creation is the wackiest idea I’ve ever heard of. Faith is for the past, science is the future; not some fictitious believe in a book written by man. What is to say about black holes? They have now been proven to exist and you can see the effects of them? So you’re to tell me that black holes were created by god? It’s the Christian people and their outspoken beliefs that have made this country a political mess. Take the Bush administration for example. How can 50+ million people be so stupid and bring Bush back into office? They believe it was the Christian thing to do. Christianity = stupidity when mixed with politics. Remove the religious right because we are supposed to have separation from church and state. Maybe then my feelings will be less involved in people asking questions about children’s shows with god in them. Save your painful words for your own head.

As one guy put it

LEARN the theory,
THEN debate it.

(quote)
if you say God created the universe, I ask you:
- How did he do it?
- Who created God?
If you say God was not created, I say the universe was not created by god.
