Don't be to quick to defend a big bang; Explosions are not big on creating order!

Well laura I absolutely mean God did it. There are many things that need to happen everyday for life to survive on this perfectly MADE planet and they were not by chance. Now that is science fiction.People want anything but for God to be God.I say you have the best answer.YEAH!!

I sure don't. I believe only what it says in the Bible.

No. We do not operate on chance. Life evolved due to natural selection over billions of years. Galaxies and planets formed from Gravity after the big bang. Physics shows us why things occur the way they do. Science provides answers with the evidence to back it up.
My question is how can one believe that a humanoid man lives in the sky and made the earth in 6 days out of clay? And why would the bedroom behavior of one species of homosapiens be of any concern? Or even of a planet when it is on the spiral arms of a galaxy with 500 billion estimated other planets, among hundreds of billions of galaxies of our universe?
It's tough to learn about science because the cosmos is more big and extraordinary than we've ever dreamed of. And some groups discourage controversial science.
But it's even harder to take simple, ancient stories and fit our universe into that box.

Yep. That's just about right.
The signatures of proto-galaxies are seen in the microwave background radiation. The evolution of galaxies can be observed because distance in astronomy equates to time due to the "theory" of the speed of light. The fossil record shows the emergence and divergence of millions of species and the DNA record confirms it. The fossil record of human life and the DNA record when compared to our nearest relatives, the chimpanzees (not the monkeys) confirms that we are a part of this. Conscience is seen in many higher species and can be explained with game theory. Mind has yet to be defined satisfactorily so it is unclear when or even if it arose. It may be something else we share with other species but we don't realize it because we can't communicate with them.

Your question is dumb. Which scientist or branch of science or scientific liturature ever suggested that Human life "just occured? Only in the BIBLE does human life "just occur." The majority of people who believe the universe wasn't "started" by god are people who understand that human life took billions of years to "occur".....
Nobody knows for sure.
The difference between the religious and scientific is that the religious think all we need to know about life can be found in a single book written thousands of years ago and that if you question that ancient book you will go off to a mystical land of fire, in which there isn't a shred of proof, and burn for eternity.
The scientific believe in a continual search for truth and what it means to be human and if something doesn't make sense, try to make sense of it.
I think religious people are most of the time...without sense.

One may suppose that some sort of god laid down the rules and pushed the button in the first instance; the trouble with that idea is that it leads to no useful conclusions. So, there is no point in supposing it. As for life on earth, evolution is a proven fact (details on request).

you don't know do you? who do you know that knows? you only have a genetically engineered time. use it wisely. you will fall like a leaf in the fall one day. by the way, old age is painful and lonely. so live it up. live fast and die young. better yet do just what you think is smart. but you have x amount of time and you drop like a leaf in the fall. you break down and are part of the top soil or some living soul's compost to grow turnips or tomatoes. they will recycle you in time. how about them apples?

No one can know for sure how the universe came about, but "the universe always been here" is a much better explanation than "god did it" because you don't have to invent any myths for it.

If energy cannot be created or destroyed, and it takes an infinite energy for the universe to expand infinitely, where did the energy come from?

The universe and all around it was created and has evolved until today. Look the words up for heavens sake.

Bible is the most wonderful story EVER written.
However, no I don't think it all really happened that way.
Maybe not exactly "big bang" but
not exactly the way the bible tells us either.
