Did the Big Bang create God?

Answer 1

Yeah...
Because the Big Bang accidentally created a bunch of people who will soon make up a Fairy-Tale, and try shoving it down their babies' throats.

Answer 2

If we relegate god to impersonal physical laws, as did Einstein, then yes, the Big Bang created god.

If we consider god as an idea created by human beings to explain the universe, then yes, the Big Bang set in motion a series of events which ultimately led to our evolution and the meme of an intelligent designer, however flawed.

On the other hand, if we view god as a physical being involved in personal affairs, then the Big Bang did not create it, because a deity is not verifiable by science and the physical laws started by the Big Bang. And the evolution of the universe from simpler to more complex things seems to suggest that a god was not necessary for its creation.

Most ways you slice it, the Big Bang created the universe in which some manifestation of god (even as an idea) came into being. That doesn't make God real as a physical entity, though.

Answer 3

The Big Bang theory is the dominant theory regarding the creation of our universe. This theory states that the universe began from a tremendously hot and dense state about 13.7 billion years ago. This part of the theory may very well be true.

What scientists have discovered is evidence that God once said ‘let there be light’ and the universe suddenly came into existence. This sudden existence process must have indeed created a tremendous amount of energy.

Scientists eager to cast doubt on the existence of God, have misjudged cosmic background radiation as being proof that the entire universe must have once been condensed into a singularity which suddenly ‘exploded’ creating time, space and matter. Consequently time, space and matter have been expanding ever since. What it is expanding into we have no idea.

“The expansion of space is conceptually different from other kinds of expansions and explosions that are seen in nature. Our understanding of the "fabric of the universe" (spacetime) requires that what we see normally as "space", "time", and "distance" are not absolutes, but are determined by a metric that can change. In the metric expansion of space, rather than objects in a fixed "space" moving apart into "emptiness", it is the space that contains the objects which is itself changing. It is as if without objects themselves moving, space is somehow "growing" in between them.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_expansion_of_space

Imagine that the universe the surface of a giant balloon. You have taken the balloon and drawn several large dots on it with a marker. As the balloon expands the dots stretch apart in all directions. The surface of the balloon is like our universe, but this does not include what is below or above the surface.


The problem I see with the big bang theory is that it assumes there was once a big back void with a single point of energy in it called a singularity.


“A gravitational singularity (sometimes spacetime singularity) is, approximately, a place where quantities which are used to measure the gravitational field become infinite. Such quantities are the curvature of spacetime or the density of matter. More accurately, a spacetime with a singularity contains geodesics which cannot be completed in a smooth manner. The limit of such a geodesic is the singularity.”


This also creates far more questions than it answers. Where did the void come from? Where did this singularity come from? How long did it exist before the expansion began. The singularity should have existed for infinity before it began to expand, but if it did why did it suddenly expand?


If a single point of energy existed then there was no big black void. It was not big, black or void. Before time, space and matter existed; you can not have a void, big, black or otherwise.

Even though time and reality have a beginning, our ability to ponder time goes beyond that beginning. This becomes an enormous mathematics problem that will ultimately tell us nothing about our origins no matter how the numbers add up.

This theory does nothing to further the understanding of the origins of this universe and is likely more bunk than reality.

Answer 4

What do you know about the God in this question?
IMHO Big Bang did not create God by virtue of what I believe God to be and from that by following my logic.

Here's my givens: I believe God exists and will exists even without the material world, which is the universe. I believe God will exists outside of time or even if time does not exist. I believe God will exist and exists even when nothing exist at all.

Therefore, if the universe exists and if I believe in what I said above, then God is and was before the Big Bang. Big Bang did not create God.

Answer 5

WOW! I never heard that one before. I wish I could give YOU 10 points.

Seeing as man came about with the Big Bang I guess the ideologies of God must have come around the same time, too. It's a shame that Bang brought with it the "need" for religion. Nobody can remember the Bang, but they think Jesus was the son of God.

I remember. 'Twas a loud one!

Answer 6

i believe God created the big bang

Answer 7

Sure did, Fire Lizard. If God's a part of everything as all those theists seem to claim and the Big Bang pretty much spread out everything as it is, the Big Bang made and distributed God.

Answer 8

That's how I was created, a half case of Iron City Beer and a big bang.

Answer 9

Only in the most liberal of senses. The Big Bang was the origin of the present incarnation of the universe and ultimately led to life and life led to Neanderthals beginning to wonder and question life and find spirits as the answer.

Answer 10

nope. man created god. and man will likely create a big nuclear big bang in the future.
