Wow! What lack of faith she has!!!!!

Answer 1

I believe in such things as evolution, the big bang theory, the old earth theory and the like because when it comes down to it, one must ask the question "Why would God lie?" All around us there is evidence that these things have in fact happened. This does not necissarily mean one must choose between faith and science. Instead one must realize that their belief in God can be reconciled with science, because God would not make the world, and the evidence within it, be contrary to what He did. What He did and what we see do not need to be in conflict. Instead, what He did and what He said are in fact easily reconciled when one realizes that fault either lies within our understanding of two things; either we misunderstood what He did or what He said. If we have misunderstood science, we must reevaluate it. If we have misunderstood our interpretation of the Bible, we must reevaluate it. In the end, one should come to the conclusion that God has not lied, and that His word is not wrong, but instead what He said in fact coorelates with what He did. In relation to the big bang, one must realize that this could easily be the method in which God created the world. The Big Band does not necissarily count God out, and Genisis does not necissarily rule the Big Bang out. Instead, the big bang may be the means God used to reach the ends...

Answer 2

I just got home from a class on this very subject. I don't KNOW what happened, but I guess it could have been. God would've done it any way he wanted. The big bang can be in complete harmony with Genesis. although I don't believe that the word day was 24 hrs or even 1,000 yrs. I believe it was 'a period of time'.

Did you know that if all matter in the whole universe were converted to energy it could fit on the head of a pin! I'm not a scientist, but that's what the prof. said, and if that's true imagine what would happen when that energy was released. A pretty BIG BANG. I do think it's important not to get stuck on any idea because were just babies, we have a lot to learn.

Answer 3

So speculation and superstition written by poverty stricken bronze age goat herders is easier for you to believe than scientific findings and fact? WOW! You have got some huge faith going on there! Good luck with that.

Answer 4

I agree. The Big Bang totally goes against naturalism, that is, the idea that nature, acting on its own will, coincidentally and randomly created life.

"Almost everyone now believes that the universe, and time itself, had a beginning at the Big Bang." Stephen Hawking in "The Nature of Space and Time"

Answer 5

I'm sure all Atheists will agree with the book "Tornado In A Junkyard" written by James Perloff. Atheists and Christians alike, read this book then answer the above question.

Answer 6

I think that God was the big bang and then evolution took over about 50 million years ago. Just kidding, I do not know the exact number of million, but it was definitely in the millions.

Answer 7

No. God is in control. Always has been and always will be. God created the world in seven days following a plan, His plan.

Answer 8

I do not recall the bang part being mentioned in Genesis.
-NmD!

Answer 9

Very likely it happened, but the big bang would have killed all life forms.

Answer 10

BANG!!!!!

Merry Christmas!!!!
