Why don't Christians believe the Big Bang Theory is credible? please read on..?

Question

You don't believe in the theory because you don't think that something could come out of nothing, but yet you believe in a God that supposedly came out of nowhere and wasn't created by anything?
For example: A man (who believes in the big bang theory) talks of why he believes in it and brings up evidence to support the theory that the universe was created when it exploded from one single "point". A Christian then asks, "What created that 'point'?". The man replies, "Nothing. It just was." Then Christian replies, "Well, I don't believe it because something had to have created it." The man replies, "Then what created your God?" The Christians says, "Nothing. God just was."

Do you think Christians can rightly dismiss and criticize the Big Bang Theory when it is so very similar to the "creation" in the bible?

God's Girl: I have not read such evidence in an newspaper article, I have not seen such evidence on television, nor on the internet. I would think that with such "proof", that there would be a lot of publicity.
And to answer your question. Why don't atheists just believe? Because there is no evidence. Miracles are not considered evidence. And I have not seen or heard of any of your example ever occurring....except in the bible.
And regarding the bible, I do not believe in a book that has been written and rewritten by so many different people on the accounts of Jesus. If the story was true, there would be ONE story, and it would NOT have been revised over the centuries.

Answer 1

most christians not the very few fundementalist christian minority beleive that the Big bang theory is the fingerprint of God but the few nuts get the press because a few more nuts put all christians in one basket.

Answer 2

You can believe in both !! Some Christians such as myself do believe that the Big Bang is a physical description of how God created the universe. And that the earth and everything else is billions of years old. And that each species were created by God in different "days". (Biologists are even beginning to reject evolution) And that God created one man and one woman in the Garden of Eden somewhere around Iraq. And later that God saved only 8 people from Noah's flood. But we seem to be a minority.

People are here; we got here somehow. But I think that your question is that why the B.B. isn't that a good enough answer ? Because the Big Bang is creation "ex nihilo". (Something out of nothing.) That's impossible ...... for US. We can not zap something into being like Harry Potter. It violates the rules of physics within this universe. If something could be made outta nothing .... we should see that happening ALL the time ! Because .... nothing is in the list of ingredients to make something from nothing. There must be someone outside of the universe in order to violate physical laws that apply *within* it.

When you see a watch; you know someone made it. When you see a soda can; you know someone made it. These are simple things. But why is it that when we consider something that is too enormous to imagine (the whole universe) that we can believe that it ... was just made. (Yes, I was atheist for 35 years) I think it's because we don't want to have to answer to anybody for our actions; we wanna do our own thing, and not be troubled by the consequences of what we do.

God is eternal ... that means He ALWAYS was. Some things we can't understand; don't strain your noodle on that one ! John 1:1 says, In the beginning was the Word (Jesus) and the Word was with God (Jesus was with the Father and Holy Spirit) and the Word was God.

God gives us reason to believe in Him by prophecy. Almost 1/3 of the Bible has to do with Jesus first coming 2000 years or His eventual return. The single most amzing prophecy is Daniels 70 weeks. Daniel said that after a decree by King Artaxerxes to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem, then 62 + 7 weeks later (one 'week' = 7 years) so 483 years (360 days per year) the Messiah would enter in the city. And that was Palm Sunday on 32 AD.

The Messiah was crucified between two thieves for the "crime" of being the King of Kings one week later.

Answer 3

Im a christain that believes in the big bang theory. The Bible says that God said let there be light and bang that is what happened. I dont believe God made the whole Universe in 6 turns of the earth 6000 years ago. I dont know how long God's day is but it is definitly longer than man's and the Bible has passages in it that talks about that very thing. I dont however believe that things evolved that idea is like going in an empty house and finding a cake baked and decorated on a table with noone there that had baked it. Then you see flour and sugar and shortening and milk and decide that somehow all those things combined by themselves to make the cake. To me there is not enough physical evidence that convinces me that man has been on this earth more than 6000 years. carbon 14 dating is too subject to contamination to be accurate. And there have been too many hoxies that have occurred that leaves me being skeptical about scientific findings. Although mutations occur they do not play any part in any kind of evolution

Answer 4

Actually I am a Christian and I believe in "The Big Bang"

However the theory you give out about something coming from nothing, is valid in the dimension of time, it does not hold true for something that dwells outside of time. The universe cannot be infintely old, because it would take an infinite amount of time to reach any point. So it would have taken an infinitie amount of years to reach today. So there has to be a beginning to the universe. However God can move and operate in at least two dimensions of time. In two dimensions of time, time becomes a plane, like a sheet of paper, length and width. In a plane, you can have as many lines as you want and as many directions as you want.

It would be possible for God to dwell on a time line running through a sheet of paper that's infinitely long, and that never crosses or touches the timeline of our universe. As such, God would have no beginning, no end and he would not be created.

Answer 5

As a Christian, I have never denied the big bang theory, But I have to come back & say, Then God created that big bang. & Yes, I even believe in a prehistoric Time period. So don't think that since some Christians don't believe in the big bang does not mean all Christians don't, I bet you that you have not seen too many Christians that believe in the prehistoric time. It is all there in the bible if people take the time to study instead of just reading. Now as to your comment about who created God, No one, God has always been, & let's just say God did have a beginning, then another more powerful God then God would have created Him, & you can keep this line of thought going on for the next 100 yrs. & you still will not understand the scriptures.

Answer 6

The Big Bang theory does not bother me. God may have used that process to create the universe. In fact, Fred Hoyle, the author of that theory became a believer after he discovered that there is a force that is driving/expanding the universe. Albert Einstein said, "Science without Religion is lame, Religion without Science is blind." Many scientists have discovered God through Science.
Have a nice day!

Answer 7

I'm Christian, and I think the Big Bang theory is believable. God created the point there. After all, Genesis doesn't go in specifically how the universe was created. But then again, it is a THEORY.

Answer 8

First of all not all Christians believe everything the same way.

Many can have reason to believe in the Big Bang as G-d's way of creating the universe. Scientists consider the Big Bang to be created from a singularity. That's another way of referring to the religious view of G-d. G-d is one, unique, unity and can be thought of in scientific and mathematical terms as a singularity.

And regarding the biblical six days of creation and the 14 billion age of the universe, please consider that scientists recognize that the perception of relative time is greatly affected by large amounts of energy and velocity. The Big Bang was the largest known cause of high energy and velocity. So from a scientific viewpoint it is quite realistic to see six days of creation from an observer at the BB looking forward in time as the same 14 billion years as seen by (us) observers looking backward in time.

Answer 9

Because if is just speculation, just like evolution. It is not science. It was never observed by anyone.

Any fool can speculate. That is not science. If it is not observable, repeatable, falsifiable, it is not science.

I think it is the height of arrogance when a scientist proposes a new idea, without any science to back it up. As I said, we can all do the same thing. There is no science involved.

It is just a matter of faith. Faith in God, or faith in the "Big Bang", which I guess is the god of evolutionists. I just can't put that much faith in blind chance.

Answer 10

God is a being that is outside of space and time. He is the one who came up with the Laws of Science, like the Law of the Conservation of Matter, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. But since God is not in the same dimension as we, and can bend the laws of nature, he was able to make matter out of NOTHING!!!

Answer 11

well Im more of a machine theory person, that something this intrecite and amazig must have something behind it. and there must be a pint in which things began, so in the begining there was god.

do I believe in a big bang like action yes I do, if all things were created for a purpous then outerspace must have a purpous.
