Question for Atheists?

Question

Do you believe in the Big Bang?

or, do you believe in other theories how the universe began?

I'm just curious. =x

Answer 1

I don't "believe" it. I accept it as a reasonable attempt at a natural explanation. I have read the books, and I understand the physics. It is possible it will be proven wrong someday, but it does explain everything we observe. Any other theory would have to do that, and explain other things that we currently can't.

I'm not aware of any other theories.

Answer 2

God not gravity, who do you think you are talking about people you know nothing about? I am not atheist but what you are saying is that "all atheists believe that satin created the universe". You are saying this because you know what every atheist is thinking, right? Well if you are like the other 7 billion of us you don't know what people are thinking. You can't judge people who you know nothing about. Back to the question, I believe in the Big Bang, but I always wonder what created the 3 elements to cause the big bang. This is one thing that we will never know for sure.

Answer 3

I think Big Bang is the most probable of current scientific theories explaining the origin of the universe, as it is the majorly accepted theory among the scientific community.

Answer 4

I believe in the Big Bang theory. I think it's a reasonable explanation for how the earth was created, as opposed to the Christian theory of God creating it out of dough or whatever in 7 days.

Answer 5

most atheists put a lot of "faith", or reasonable faith, in science to EVENTUALLY explain everything. The odds that we are almost there are probably not very good. science argues about the origin of the universe, so most atheists are open to possibilities. but atheists generally trust science, if science proved God tomorrow, they would accept it.

Christians should stop focusing on atheists (especially modernized ones) and focus more on helping places like North Korea, where the Rapture could happen tomorrow and they wouldn't even hear about it. that's the real problem in the modern world.

Answer 6

For now I'll take the big bang, it's the theory that makes the most sense out of all the scientific other ones.
What other ones? I don't know lol.

Answer 7

I believe the big bang is one of many ways the universe reshapes...

Answer 8

In the Summa theologiae St. Thomas Aquinas records his famous five ways which seek to prove the existence of God from the facts of change, causation, contingency, variation and purpose. These cosmological and teleological arguments can be neatly expressed in syllogistic form as below:


Way 1
1. The world is in motion (motus).
2. All changes in the world are due to some prior cause.
3. There must be a prior cause for this entire sequence of changes, i.e. God.


Way 2
1. The world is a sequence of events.
2. Every event in the world has a cause.
3. There must be a cause for the entire sequence of events, i.e. God.


Way 3
1. The world might not have been.
2. Everything that exists in the world depends on some other thing for its existence.
3. The world itself must depend upon some other thing for its existence, i.e. God.


Way 4
1. There are degrees of perfection in the world.
2. Things are more perfect the closer they approach the maximum.
3. There is a maximum perfection, i.e. God.


Way 5
1. Each body has a natural tendency towards its goal.
2. All order requires a designer.
3. This end-directedness of natural bodies must have a designing force behind it. Therefore each natural body has a designer i.e. God.

Answer 9

If I knew all the answers to how the big,expansive universe came into being-when I am merely a worker ant on the huge anthill they call Earth-came into play-I would be a very rich person.

Answer 10

Big Bang so far, and 13.7 billion years of fun. Steady State, Creationism and the like are sure out, so what else is there?
