What actually happened in the beginning?

Question

first sorry about my actions yesterday, no excuses but it was just a bad day. now my question is did it actually happen the way the bible says or the big bang theory also if you have a new theory I would appreciate to hear it.

Answer 1

If you have no problems with the first four words of the Bible, the rest is easy.

"In the beginning, God..." (Genesis 1:1)

Answer 2

I think that the world began as a facility for creatures of spirit (souls). I think the Adam and Eve story is supposed to show that humanity had a choice in how this physical existence should be used and humanity chose to use it for education instead of vacation and leisure.

As far as how the world got here - that is anybody's guess. I mean if you have an all powerful God he could have created the planet the day before I was born - or the day before my grandmother was born - and filled it with evidence of previous cultures to give the illusion of history. There is truly no way to know the Unknowable - but it is fun to think about.

I heard a theory recently that I find facsinating. Someone suggested that we collectively make up God. Does that mean "If God is an ocean then we are all glasses of God" or does it mean that collectively, through sheer force of will and intention we have created and continue to maintain this world for our own purposes.

Maybe that is why the planet was set up to revolve - so that some of us would always be awake and therefore focusing enough intention on keeping the world going. Maybe that is why we so often get what we expect. Maybe that explains the battle of good and evil - maybe it's just a steering mechanism and majority rules as far as what will happen next. If enough of us are focused on the end of the world it will happen - but it enough of us are focused on a Star Trek existence, maybe that will happen. That might explain the drive to convert and make others believe as we do. It's facsinating and chock full of implications if you ask me.

Peace!

Answer 3

I have taken graduate physics courses on General Relativity and Cosmology so obviously I am going to tell you the big bang is a fact. I think with the recent COBE data and more recent Supernovae observations the evidence has gone from merely strong to overwhelming.

That said, we are still left with the issue of what is the Big Bang exactly. What do we know for sure. We know the observable portion of the universe is expanding rapidly and that the expansion is increasing.

My own interpretation of this event is that in order to understand a system humans tend to deal with it in layers of abstraction. My belief is that the layer of abstraction we use to understand the universe is not at all fundamental. This causes misunderstanding of the nature of that the universe really is. We picture the universe as mass and energy within space changing with time, but the reality I believe is that time and space, matter and energy are dynamic abstractions we impose on a much more interesting static reality which simply exists.

Answer 4

Everyone has to face the reality of this question:

NOBODY KNOWS, HAS KNOWN, OR WILL EVER KNOW. That's a fact, and you can take it all the way to the bank, as it were. The Earth has been around for a little over 4.5 billion years, and humans ahve only been screwing it up for a few million. There were creatures that dominated the planet for 50 million years at a time, for cryin' out loud!

We are small and insignificant as far as the planet and the universe is concerned; it's only the extraordinary egos of some people that make any theories passable.

Answer 5

I'm sure when Jehovah created the earth it was a big bang. The real question is ... What happens when things are created? If you look at everything you can see smell, feel experience in all ways, was created by Jah. Who cares how he created everything. Do you think you could begin to understand all the complexities of creation? Only Jah could do this. Have faith for awhile. just do it . say, I will believe and study the truth and you will begin to see Great and Mighty things that you don't understand. Jeremiah 33:3 can't hurt to try can it?

Answer 6

All evidence points to a rapid expansion at the start of the Universe. The Big Bang is the closest theory we have to the truth.

Answer 7

As time move forward we will become more accepting of the facts.

We are finding things have not gone down like the bible says. There is a growing community that is accepting Zecharia Sitchin work on the Sumerian culture that spawned the bible as we know it today. There are a mountain of facts that will bake the noodles of the people of this planet but the population is not at a point of acceptance.

The world as we know it is changing rather you want to hide from it or not. Get your head out of your limited bible and raise your consciousness.

Answer 8

“Slight variations in physical laws such as gravity or electromagnetism would make life impossible...
The necessity to produce life lies at the center of the universe’s whole machinery and design.”
John Wheeler, Princeton University professor of physics (Reader’s Digest, Sept. 1986)
Even evolutionist Stephen Hawking, considered the best-known scientist since Albert Einstein,
acknowledges “the universe and the laws of physics seem to have been specifically designed for us.
If any one of about 40 physical qualities had more than slightly different values, life as we know it
could not exist: Either atoms would not be stable, or they wouldn’t combine into molecules, or the
stars wouldn’t form the heavier elements, or the universe would collapse before life could develop,
and so on. . .” (Austin American-Statesman, October 19, 1997)

Answer 9

No one person can actually answer that for sure .
WE were not here to witness it or have any viable records .
Why bother agonizing over something that Can`t be Answered .
Its like asking someone the exact number of stars in all the galaxies.You won`t get an accurate answer .
Just relax ,live ,and have the best life you can .
Don`t sweat the small stuff.

Answer 10

The question is do you believe in religion, or science? Religion = God/Allah whoever creating everything from nothing (impossible unless they really are all-powerful) whilst Science = big bang, all matter exploding outwards from an infinitely small point. Another prominent question - where did God or the tiny point of matter COME from? The very VERY beginning is incomprehendable.

Answer 11

It actually happened the way the Bible says. Think about the order of creation....that in itself is proof of a power higher than ours. God created light and vegetation before animals and man....would a bang make that happen? I seriously doubt that. And the probability of a bang causing life would not continue life....unless there were a lot more bangs....doesn't make much sense to me.
