A Hindu posted this as an answer to one of my questions. Is this view widely accepted?

Question

God existed at an instant as the singularity at the beginning that exploded in the Big Bang.

"This cluster of pure energy we know as God accumulates in its absolute pure state only when the dissolution of the Cosmos occurs in its entirety"

I'm just curious.

Answer 1

Yes, it fascinates me that the Hindus may have formulated the theory of infinite universal collaspses and big bangs thousands of years ago. They don't believe that god is a deity, they think that everything is a piece of god. They say that the universe is god, and we are a part of it. To them, the world was never created, it has been experiencing an endless cycle of creation and destruction. The universe (God) phases out between the two, manifesting itself on earth as an avatar every once in a while. It is a beautiful belief...

Answer 2

I've thought about this to. There was a believer the other day that was mocking atheist people by calling April fools day their day because the guy said that a fool says in his heart that there is no God. I didn't feel bad that he was misrepresenting the gospel as much as I felt bad that people were being degraded. I wondered if I should step in like I have done before but I wasn't sure if I should keep doing that. I think that it would be better if these types of question were not answered but on the other hand some of the responses may have made the guy think. You ask why this type of behavior is displayed? I would say it is either because the person is hating or they are trying to pay back evil for evil, either way it's despicable. I don't know if there is really a solution for this or not. Edit: I just read your example. Maybe you should post that question. I think now a days people are kicking the weak or wounded .That's ashame when people are hurting like that to have such rude comments.

Answer 3

It is, actually, one viable interpretation of hindu eschatology. The idea is that after all life has completed its incarnations and all has returned to the One Source, it explodes outward again in a new cycle of creation, life, and death. Hinduism in essence strongly embraces the cyclic universe hypothesis.

It'd be a great point in hinduism's favor if all the cosmological research didn't indicate that the universe continues to expand forever because the critical density value is slightly less than 1.

Answer 4

ok, i'm getting irritated by people putting down views of hinduism without understanding them

first of all, the concept of evolution existed in hindu philosophy WAY before europeans came up with it, second of all hindus believe that the universe is infinite and that every trillions of years, the universe is destroyed an creation starts again, and in hinduism, god is not a supreme being but is a part of the universe itself, a source of light

but if you think that's stupid, please keep that to yourself because I think creationism is stupid, but hindu philosophy is not that superficial

I'm an agnostic when it comes to god, but hindu/buddhist/existentialist in philosophy

Answer 5

It's a mixture of the scientific and the spiritual and sounds more realistic however, as all the other theories, it is just another interpretation without proof to support it.

Answer 6

It sure is stupid. That person is saying that matter existed before God did and so did the laws of physics - so what God created these then?

Answer 7

Sounds like an answer out of a college text book.It does nothing for me personally,but what ever floats your boat.

Answer 8

A big imagination. Amazing what someone will come up with to try to explain the existance of God to coincide with evolution.

Answer 9

It sounds very interesting but I don't agree.

Answer 10

I guess it depends on what your question was...I don't believe in the Big Bang theory myself.
