Of course, in fact if there is any logical reason to explain the Big Bang it would be through the work of a superintending higher power. Since scientists believe time and matter began at the Big Bang, you still need something to initiate the Big Bang, and if there was no time before it for things to happen or no molecules or whatever to cause it, you have to turn to a non-physical entity who is not bound by time (in other words, infinite, spiritual, and not made of the things of this universe). The theory that another universe started the Big Bang in our own is weak because you'd still have to explain how all those universes began. You'd ultimately have to argue back to infinity, which is impossible because you can't get from "forever" ago to the present day. Time doesn't exist in an eternal state.

No they can't. Believing in the science behind the big bang means that you have a fundamental belief in how the universe, galaxies, stars, and planets formed over millions and billions of years. There is no "god created the earth in 6 days and that was the big bang". The two just do not go hand in hand if even only because of the time involved.

If you believe god created the earth and the heavens you have to have the belief in things such as the 6 days of creation. You have to have the belief that he created man in his likeness and so forth. Those concepts fundamentaly disagree with the scientific concepts of the big bang, evolution, chemistry, biology, physics, and so on. It's pretty much a one or the other category that has been blurred in recent times.

In my opinion the bulk of civilization is being confronted on two sides which allows for questions like this. On one side there is the undying faith that there is a greater power and therefore a purpose for humanity. A reason for us to exhist. On the other side is amazing advances in technology that have allowed several scientific theories to be more or less proven as facts. The big bang being one of those theories that is in direct conflict with the belief in creation.

No. For beganners it is written in the bible ;
that God is the creator.
God caused a young virgin woman against her will to have his child.
The child was named jesus.(not really as jesus is a Greek name and Jesus was hebrew.)
Jesus is his son;
Jesus is god;
The trinity is composed of God, jesus, and the holy ghost.
Yet according to the bible they are the same.
If this doesn't sound like a fable than open your door and allow the easter bunny in, or invite snow white over.
If nothing existed before the big bang than god did not exist. so god was about 4 billion years old when jesus was born. If god was here before the big bang than god was many more billions of years older , even zilllions.Yet we are to beleive jesus and god are one the same. and the next sermon we are to beleive jesus was gods only son. The silliness of the jesus god rhetic is just too much for any sensibility, reality, or truth.
Evolution covers it all fairly, scientifically, and truefully.

Sure they could. Nobody has any strong and factually based argument to show that god and jesus cannot exist. However, there are no strong or factually based arguments to show that god or jesus DO exist either. Someone who believed that we were created by invisible gremlins could come up with reasons for us to believe them. They would have a position just as believable as the position of religious people.

If religious beliefs are supposed true because of religious writings then why should one believe that their religious beliefs reflect reality rather than buddhism or shintoism? There are also ancient texts and beliefs backing those religions! How can these people formulate any believable argument showing that they are correct and another, different religion is not correct(correct not in personal effects of the religion, but in larger suppositions of the religion such as creationism or the existence of heaven or satan)!

People say things like "what proof do you have to NOT believe in god?" which is a very silly question. If someone supposes that something exists, the burden of proof is up to THEM if they wish to submit that they know this thing to be true. It is well possible that it is completely impossible to prove that something does not exist, if it does not exist. It is similar to challenging someone to prove that there is not an invisible apple orbiting pluto.

For me the answer is yes. If you believe that everything in the Bible is litterally true then no.

We still don't have on a handle on the beginnings of existence, with or without the Bible or religious teachings of any faith. To say that God is the alpha and omega, always has been and always will be is curious to me. Where did the gases for the big bang come from, where did God come from are good questions for which I'll never have an answer.

I choose to believe in God and he gave me a mind to question with and understand with. But it is a 'leap of faith' which allows me to believe in God since science and knowledge will never prove His existence.

Peace

This is more of a question about religious beliefs. Do you think that if it were ever proven that the Big Bang had occurred that the existence of God would cease. I know for a fact that Jesus is a historical figure (proven to have lived) to billions of people the world have come to look up to.

God mentions the big bang in the quran so yes he existed before it, he created it after all ( the big bang that is. As well as everything else) Jesus no he was created long after the big bang.

What astounds me is that people actually think the big bang theory actually explains away God. Well, where did the big bang come from? Sure, a bunch of matter squished together, big explosion, etc. But where did it come from? Why was that matter squished together in the first place? No one ever mentions that part. God is completely compatible with the big bang theory.

a man named jesus lived..... Roman records and writings prove it.
God can be defined about any way you want.....from some old man in the sky of myth and folktales, to the language of DNA.. Since the definition is all important, any liberal, intelligent thinker would agree that science and informed spirituality are compatible.... Buddhists, for example have no difficulty with science and their religion. Unitarians don't either. It is only if you go for the exact literal translation of revealed truth(bible, koran, etc.) that you run into problems...
Probably a bigger answer than you wanted, but then, sorry, I'm educated, spiritual, but hey, when the brain rots, life is over.

Sure....who's to say the universes we know of are the only ones in existence. The big bang could have been the beginning of us, but not necessarily the beginning of All.
