Does the bible mention the Big-Bang anywhere?

Question

Because that did happen.

Whether its a theory or not, there is so much proof regarding this event as been the cause for our existence and everything else as well.

Answer 1

The Bible doesn't mention a lot of stuff that is real, because it spends a lot of time mentioning things that are not.

Answer 2

There is evidence for a beginning to the universe but that doesnt make the big bang theory a fact. The Bible isnt specific about how God created the universe but science is just starting to confirm what the believer has always said; "In the beginning, God created the heavens and earth." Science is simply the discovery of how God did everything.

Answer 3

Not directly, but the Bible does leave room for the big-bang. For example: In the Genesis account of creation the earth is not immediately perfected into a life-supporting world: Gen 1:1-2--- "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep."

It's easy to imagine that the earth would be without form and void following the big-bang. It is equally as easy to imagine that the cause of the big-bang was, in reality, finely tuned because the energy pulsating throughout the universe is equally distributed, or finely orchestrated, to quote NASA scientists. The teological implications are impressive!

In poetic form Psalm 33:6-11 describes the big bang in this way: "By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into storehouses. Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere him. For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm. The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples. But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations."

Such a poetic description is not inconsistent with what we observe in the universe, nor is it inconsistent with any well-established principles of science, including the "big-bang." Please remember that poetic imagery represents a big chunk of biblical literature and it not to be trivialized into an exact literal rendition of what happened. However, poetic imagery does not diminish the biblical record.

Answer 4

The Old Testament does not mention the Big Bang specifically in the text as it is written. But... the Zohar (a Jewish commentary on the Old Testament) does. The Zohar was written by Jewish Rabbi's in Spain during the 14th Century. They took Genesis and expanded it based on Jewish tradition, Gematria (numeric correspondance of words - because ancient hebrew has no numbers and the letters are numbers), and the meaning of each letter (in Hebrew each letter has meaning unlike English).

The phrase "In the beginning God Created..." becomes a description of something that sounds exactly like the big bang. It discusses a singularity that explodes to produce creation.

Answer 5

Technically no. Although I think the Big-Bang theory and the Creationism theory can very easily go hand in hand. Matter can not be either created or destroyed. God therefore took matter that already existed and brought it all together. Ultra-simplified I know.

Answer 6

Acts Of The Apostles gives detailed accounts on the physics behind the Big-Bang and the Unified Field theories.

Answer 7

The Big Bang Theory Confirmed*
[21:30] Do the unbelievers not realize that the heaven and the earth used to be one solid mass that we exploded into existence? And from water we made all living things. Would they believe?

[21:31] And we placed on earth stabilizers, lest it tumbles with them, and we placed straight roads therein, that they may be guided.

[21:32] And we rendered the sky a guarded ceiling. Yet, they are totally oblivious to all the portents therein.

[21:33] And He is the One who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon; each floating in its own orbit.

[21:34] We never decreed immortality for anyone before you; should you die, are they immortal?

[21:35] Every soul will taste death, after we put you to the test through adversity and prosperity, then to us you ultimately return.

Answer 9

It is understood God made everything, without God there is nothing!!!
The bible cannot record million of centuries recording of God activites.
Besides, bibles records only what pertains to salvation of souls for human being only.

I think what you want to be announced now is...since there is recent discovery of the big bang...then there`s possibility that human race evolve out of the big bang, right?
I think you need to convince all the spirited genetically born human in this world before I can agree with you.

Answer 10

No mention of it at all. And it also makes it clear the the sun orbits the earth, the human race is about 6,000 years old, and sometime in that span of time the whole earth was flooded by rain, etc. I have to guess that not much by the way science is going to be suggested by the scribblings of primitive desert dwellers.

Answer 11

Actually no the bible does not mention it. Second it is very theoretical and although it makes sense there is no way to directly test the big bang itself. For work on , I will call them
"minibangs" you could look at the work by Alain Aspect of CERN

And surprise, stuff can come from "nothing"
