prove in logical terms why the existance of God is equal as a mere figment of imagination than the Big Bang?

Question

I already have an Athiestic point of view, so only those who believe in the existance of God may answer this one.

Answer 1

I'm a little confused as to the wording of your question but here is my view on it.

Scientifically speaking, something cannot come from nothing. The Big Bang theory states that gases were floating around each other until small particles were made, these small particles eventually got bigger as they collided and eventually planets were made.

If God is not believed to exist, where did the original gases come from??? They couldn't have just been there the whole time, scientifically speaking. They had to come from somewhere.

That is why the whole belief in God, in logical terms, makes sense. Since He is so powerful, he can live forever (both from the beginning and to the end, which there is neither technically speaking). He always was and always will be.

We only believe there is a beginning because there is beginnings to plants, animals, and humans. We as humans cannot fathom something that has no beginning. Science cannot answer how everything started (since scientifically something cannot come from nothing), only something as powerful as God can.

I hope that answered your question.

Answer 2

There is no such thing as 100% certainty, last I recall.

Many things are assumed (proved to a degree of certainty) without direct witness to what is being assumed. Say you find a pocket watch on desolate island. How did it get there? We can assume that a watch would be used by a human being, but that doesn't mean a human being had a direct relation (point to point) with the arrival of that watch to the island. It could have been in someone's pocket, stolen by a monkey that later boarded a ship, the ship sinks, watch floats to the island on a plank of wood. I just used my imagination to put that together; but, it doesn't mean that it's more true than the watch being dropped on the island by aliens. We can judge which is more feasible according to our imagination (but then again, how limited is our imagination?)

So, what about the Big Bang and God? Did we see God or the Big Bang create the universe? There's only so much we can obtain from evidence with so many steps behind us in the past. Science can tell you part of the "what" happened, but what about the "why" and the "how"? What happened before the Big Bang? Some sort of energy caused the Big Bang to happen, and that energy must have been there a long time; then again, what could we say about time? Have we really grasped time, or just what we have experienced?

Just some thoughts I had; nothing more and nothing less.

Answer 3

First of all, anyone can answer anything

2nd, to ask for "god believers" to give a logical answer about the existence of god is an oxymoron.

God is a figment of imagination. The big bang is a theory with a lot of evidence to support it right now.

Answer 4

Before this question can be answered one must be asked.

Can this be proven to you? Are you looking for proof of god or proof of your own views?

You have said in our question that you already believe that the entity known as 'god' is a figment of the imagination. If you belive this to be true, then how can it be proven otherwise since all thing in this universe are relative to the observer. If you believe that god is a figment of the imagination then there will be no argument that can be made to prove otherwise.

This is not an admission of inability, only a reflection a character. Interperate how you will.

Hope this helps.

Answer 5

If you weigh the aspects of science against the big bang theory and then weigh against God, what do you think has more compatability with science? God, not only is as logical a theory but far exceeds as far as science is concerned. Now, you answer me, " If they can teach the big bang imagined" in schools, why not teach " Inteligent Godly creation, imagined, of course"? What is it that athiests fear so much?

Answer 6

I think the universal question is who is God? We really don't know what he looks like. We don't know how long he's been there. But what we do know is he was there before us. "Motion was imparted to matter by God, by its coming together it produced light and heat." Now, I've said this before; God was the force that put this in action. Evolutionists will continue to argue this fact, but, again they cannot prove he did otherwise. God put a "Breath of life" in Adam. So any "Wind" or "Movement" comes from God. And a GLARING fact in BOTH camps: We do NOT know how old the universe is. We have not explored the space like we have the gun. There's no "Enterprise" or "Millenium Falcon", and the space shuttle can only go so far before it has to return.

Answer 7

I am not religious, nor am I an atheist. My question is, disregarding the time claims made by various religions, how do you come to the conclusion that the big bang and a supreme Deity are mutually exclusive? Both beliefs beg off on the question of infinate.

Answer 8

From your question, you are saying that both the Big Bang theory and the belief in God are mere figments of man's imagination with the word 'EQUAL' but then contradicting that with the word 'THAN' implying that the belief of the existence of God is the mere figment of the imagination as compared to the Big Bang theory. - I suggest constructing a better question.

The Big Bang is a "THEORY" and not a fact.

"A theory is a logically self-consistent model or framework for describing the behavior of a related set of natural or social phenomena. It originates from and/or is supported by experimental evidence (see scientific method). In this sense, a theory is a systematic and formalized expression of all previous observations that is predictive, logical and testable. In principle, scientific theories are ALWAYS TENTATIVE, and SUBJECT TO CORRECTIONS or inclusion in a yet wider theory." - wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory)

The belief in God is a "FAITH" and does not require proof.

"Many noted philosophers and theologians have espoused the idea that faith is the basis of all knowledge. One example is St. Augustine of Hippo. Known as one of his key contributions to philosophy, the idea of "faith seeking understanding" was set forth by St. Augustine in his statement "Crede, ut intelligas" ("Believe in order that you may understand"). This statement EXTENDS BEYOND THE SPHERE OF RELIGION to encompass the totality of knowledge. In essence, faith must be present in order to know anything. In other words, one must believe, or have faith in the credibility of a person, place, thing, or idea in order to have a basis for knowledge." - wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faith)

Answer 9

I am not sure what you are asking-the question is unclear.... however let me say this.....

Just as you cannot prove the is not a God, neither can i prove there is one........the matter of any religion is faith...

Let me say this about the Big Bang theory (and that is all that it is but it appears to be the best available at this time).
If you look closely at the various steps of the Big Bang, they are not in contradiction of the basic ideas of creation given in the Bible

Answer 10

The level of physics ignorance in some of these answers is somewhat disturbing.

We can SEE the last vestiges of the Big Bang.

Show me God!
