here is THE BIG BANG THEORY-for anyone who does or doesnt beleive in God!?

Question

Here is the theory-
"God wanted to create the world so, BANG!!! He created it"
(i read something similar to that on a bumper sticker today)
How could an explosion have created the world and the universe? you'd think an explosion would deystroy, not create.
and even if there were an explosion, something had to have triggered it, right?
I think it was all God!
what do you think?

Answer 1

The Big Bang occured around 14 billion years ago, the earth didn't come into existence until about 4.6 billion years ago. The earth did not exist when the Big Bang occurred, therefore the Big Bang could not have destroyed it.
The name "Big Bang" is a misnomer, there wasn't really a "bang", the name comes from a nickname given by supports of the old Steady State Theory, which now has very little to no support.
The explosion cooled, allowing the four main forces of the universe (gravitational, the electromagnetic, the strong, and the weak forces) to split apart. Matter finally arose out of the energy created by the "bang", forming a plasma of quarks, gluons, and leptons. These finally coalesced into protons and neutrons (via the strong force), finally they formed atoms by uniting with electrons via the electromagnetic force.
Matter coalesced via gravity into star and galaxies. Planets arose from extra material not bound into stars.
I think God caused the Big Bang, but he didn't just "bang" it into existence as you put it. If he did, why did he spend three or four days on one little planet in the entire cosmos, and spend only a single day on the rest of the universe. I think it is rather illogical.

Answer 2

An atheist is someone who does not believe in any God. If there is no God, then obviously an atheist is not going to think we were "created". I personally think we simply exist, and that we evolved from other simpler forms of life. This is consistent with what we can observe in the world around us. I do not think the universe began with the Big Bang. It has been established that matter and energy can neither be created nor can they be destroyed, they can only change relative to each other. This does not indicate a need for any creator or even a primal event - the universe appears to be infinite. Perhaps 13.5 billion years ago the universe began to form into the configurations we are able to observe - but that does not mean that was the beginning it may only mean that 13.5 billion years is the "horizon"... and that we cannot observe beyond that 'edge' in space-time. There is no useful or meaningful purpose in trying to describe that boundary as anything more than that point beyond which we have no information. Speculating about what might have happened beyond that point is just random guessing, and is not very productive. If the believers wish to say that is where the moment of creation took place they must ignore the fact that there does not appear to be any way to create or destroy even one photon - all we have ever seen happen is for things to change form from energy to matter or matter to energy.

Answer 3

The big bang theory is not what you stated.

"In physical cosmology, the Big Bang is the scientific theory that the universe emerged from a tremendously dense and hot state about 13.7 billion years ago."

There is nothing in the Big Bang Theory that has anything to do with God causing the bang. That being said, what's your point? It is possible that an explosion is the cause of our universe as we know it today, but if we suppose it is true, it is not "God" that triggered it.

"The early universe was filled homogeneously and isotropically with an incredibly high energy density and concomitantly huge temperatures and pressures. It expanded and cooled, going through phase transitions pertinent to elementary particles."

It just expanded. Period. End of story. Whether this theory is correct or not, we do not know, but...

"Based on measurements of the expansion of the universe using Type 1a supernovae, measurements of the lumpiness of the cosmic microwave background, and measurements of the correlation function of galaxies, the universe has a calculated age of 13.7 ± 0.2 billion years. The agreement of these three independent measurements is considered strong evidence for the so-called ΛCDM model that describes the detailed nature of the contents of the universe."

So, in answer to your question which, I'm assuming, was "what do you think?"...

I think you need to do better research before asking a question. That's what I think.

Answer 4

I hope you're young, because you obviously haven't been told much about this theory. Do some research before making any decisions; this should get you started.

Also, watch the National Geographic Channel and History Channel sometime...you can learn quite a bit. There is very little that cannot be explained by science. Stories within the Bible have very sensible explanations behind them (for instance, the plagues and parting of the Red Sea can be reasonably cleared by the eruption of a volcano near Italy during that era).

Always ask questions. Always do research. Never believe anything you read in one book, or hear from one person. Gather your sources, take into account as many theories as possible, and always committ to finding the truth. Not only in this, but everything.

Answer 5

What you have is a wild guess, not a theory.

There is evidence of an explosion, whether or not you think it would only destroy.

Our experience of cause and effect does not preclude a universe forming from nothingness. Physics is nowhere near studying phenomena that relate to the creation of the universe. Cause and effect are strange at the quantum level. No one knows what happens in an early universe.

Your casual guess may be right, but there's no way to test it.

Answer 6

*sigh*

It wasn't an explosion, it was an expansion. You'll have to look up 'cosmochemical evolution' on your own, since I'm not explaining the first two billion years to you here. But rest assured, we have a pretty good idea of what happened - we can still see it, if we look out far enough.

Ask the other question again in about 10 years, after the new particle accelerators come online. We should have a lot more answers about how it happened then. We have ideas now, but they still need to be tested. But we aren't resorting to 'god did it' just yet.

Answer 7

The quote is, of course, a gross oversimplification of what is actually a fairly complicated theory. It is now established science that the universe began in an explosion 13.7 billion years ago. It is idle to speculate on how it might have been caused (if the notion of "cause" even applies) because there is no conceivable way of obtaining evidence on the subject. For more details on how it all came down, see any modern text on astrophysics.

Answer 8

For those who disagree with your "god went bang" statement, I would to pose another possibility.
Given that the universe is of infinite dimensions, could the "big bang" have been a localized event. one which has repeated somewhere in the universe several times? I have a difficult time believing that all the matter of the entire universe was compacted into any one location. Infinity can be a very hard concept to grasp but I do believe the universe has existed for infinity and will continue to do so. It just seems illogical to assume that there was no matter in the entire universe prior to any one astronomical event.

Answer 9

THATS WHY ITS A THEORY!!! there is evidence that supports it but there is evidence against it. no one can be sure how the universe was created not even the greatest scientists or the pope because no one was around when it happend. and how can an explosion destroy when theres nothing to destroy? explosion just means things are being pushed out instead of pulled in (thats implosion)

Answer 10

First of all, what you said is incorrect. The Big Bang theory does not mention the existence of God - it does not say whether God does or does not exist.

Second, the universe refered to in the Big Bang is the "observable" universe, or the known universe. When scientists refer to the universe, this is what they mean.
