Is the bible story of creation right after all?

Question

I'm not of a religious nature but the latest scientific theory concerning the beginning of the Universe is no more believable than God creating it all in a week.
According to the latest theory there was absolutely nothing before the big bang, if that's the case, what went bang?

Answer 1

nothing obviously.
if there was absolutely nothing to begin with... how can that nothing explode and create everything? it doesnt make sense. Everything can not come from absolutlely nothing.

Answer 2

The Bible story of creation in Genesis is as detailed as it needs to be within the overall story of the historical relationships of man and his creator. Some see it as describing the reshaping and reorganization of the Earth -system following a cosmic confusion with the intention for it to be a suitable habitat for the unique creation of mankind. In this viewpoint, the overall age of the material Earth and the universe can be either ageless or immensely longer than a few thousand years. However, the age of mankind is shown to be a few thousand years.
Another view is that the Genesis account describes the creation of everything in the universe and of man by God - all a few thousand years ago. In this approach the religionists run into the problems associated with scientific observation.
Another approach is that it is all Jewish folklore. One problem with this approach is that nearly every culure in the history of man has or has had a Genesis-like story in its own history.
Prior to the twentieth century the scientific view of the universe was that it was eternal , stretched forever and static. The existence of galaxies was unknown. That the Milky Way itself was a galaxy was unknown. Using better telescopes circa. the 1930's astronomers discovered galaxies and some of them observed that the ones they were observing were all moving away from us ( the doppler-like "red shift") and apart from each other - the farther away they were the faster they were moving. So came the premise of the expanding universe and the Hubble Constant was developed to describe the expansion rate and the supposed age of the cosmos.
Using the observation that the galaxies were moving apart, it was conjectured that if they were turned around ( time going backwards) they would have had a common starting point . Compare it to bees returning to a hive. This was called the "Big Bang" by other scientists in derision to it , but the premise was accepted, the name was adopted and the premise was christened a "theory" by the high priests of the scientific community. All the rest is speculation based on supposition. But thoes Hubble pictuers are great, aren't they.

Using the accepted theory of the Big Bang you would expect that the beginning point of all creation could be located. ( In other words, where was the hive ?) But the astrophysists start doing the cosmic two-step and dance around the obvious by then referring the universe to the skin of a ballon which has no center. Likewise, from time -to-time some deep space objects are described to be sending us light that began only a few million years after the big bang. When I asked an asrtophysist are these images s coming from the same general diresctio , his reply was that they were coming from all directions. So much for cosmology and the" Big Kaflooie".

The premise of evolution is nothing new. That too is discussed in the Bible. (The middle to the end of the book of Romans is one.) It was around long before Darwin. If Darwin had taken his trip after Mendel's descriptions of heredity had been published , his conclusions would likely have been different. Actually Darwin was troubled with his conclusions and later he questioned his own theory because the lack of evidence to support its broad application. But there were others who believed in evolution and had their own theories in it for their own personal, purely unscientific reasons, so stated.( See previous Bible reference)
I find the Bible account to be more believable and so far as archaelogy and botony are concerned, more verifiable than organic evolution and more logical than theoretical astrophysics.

Answer 3

The Holy Bible record account of Creation may bear some resemblence to Scientific theories of Creation but describes a particular sequence and formation of matter in a completely unrelated way to these theories.In Reality besides The Holy Bible acccount we really dont have a scientifically explainable proof of how the Creation and formation of mass structures came into being.
What is important to know is not how He did it ,but Who Created the Universe and for what purpose.
As far as time is concerned if Light was created to move at astronomical speed why could the Universe have not been also Created at speeds much faster then the speed of light?
Perhaps Instantaneously. Big Bang theory has no explanation and evolution theory is just to slow. By the way we measure time Creation ,time would allude to a greater time then what the present theories relate =15 Billion year is a drop of water in the ocean compared to infinity.
Both evolutionary theories and Big Bang theories do not really have a true representation of time.
After all how can Humans which are merely Created being put a limit of time on Our Creator of the Universe.
He basically Creates at His whim of Just speaking the Universe into existance.The speed of light is really too slow compared to how our Creator is able to make things move and change.

Answer 4

I don't know alot about the bible story as iam a muslim and believe in the muslim threory, i asked this question to myself many many times and couldn't find an answer i asked many people and found the islamic theory the more logic.
first of all we humans are limited to our senses there are many things we cannot observe because of the limitation of our senses and the limitation of our minds everything in human life & mind have a start and end everything is limited to time. I believe god exists all the way back and all the way after, he's the ultimate power of everything he's the creator of everything, what should we humans do is to observe what we sense as there's somethings above our ability.
regarding the big bang i don't think it just happened without nothing, without a source of power, there must be something behind it and did it the way it is for some reason, that we will never know, that's why i believe in god.

Answer 5

It's not at all true that scientists think there was nothing before the Big Bang.

In fact, scientists think that at the point of the Big Bang, all the matter and energy that make up our universe was concentrated into one infinitely small and dense point. Because at this point the normal laws of physics break down, we are unable to see past this point. It is in principle impossible to know what happened "before" then.

I put before in quotes, because time itself is something that only started happening with the Big Bang. There was no before in the sense that we now think of before and after.

However, this isn't at all to say that there was "nothing". It's just that we can't know what there was. One plausible theory is that there was a previous universe that went "crunch" to produce the singularity. But we may never know.

Final point: just because we don't know, there's no reason to start pointing to God. God isn't the default answer if we don't know the answer to a question. If we want to propose the existence of God, we need to provide some actual positive evidence. So far none has been forthcoming.

Answer 6

i'm no religous nut either but i always thought religion and science had more in common than they thought, after all if the creator said "let there be light" it stands to reason a big bang would follow. evolution doesn't make much sense to me b/c with all the mass extinctions, i.e dinos, where were the monkeys we came from and why weren't they extinct at the same time. or why haven;t we evolved at all since the early humans, i know it's sad to happen over a long time but we have been the way we know oursleves now for thousands of years and nothing, and why hasn't every animal evolved if its a natural occurence. also how did the mind evolve to be powerful enough to create the pyramids and then regress enough to the point where we couldn't replicate it today, which we can't, especially if we used there technologies, i can debunk any claim as to how the egyptians built the pyramids and so can many others but the experts can't. also there have been artifacts such as model airplanes and lamps using electricity in ancient egypt and actual working batteries found in baghdad that date back to the BC era, all tough things to ignore

Answer 7

God is an alien who had his native-planet destroyed with all its population. So he stayed roaming the universe for ages, until he find this side of the universe or what i call "outworld" because i think this universe isn't the main one its kind of alternative world. * i'm not obligating anyone to believe in this theory which i made it up myself some weeks ago, i was thinking the world could not have been created by just a "big bang" because before this energy get itself concentrated in a single spot, there was nothing just a pitched-dark place that stretched along all the universe. So that was when god an energy being came and created this world whose people were created according to "god's emblance". Maybe he's spying on us right now, plus i don't think there's a place where evil people will be led . Pehaps when we die we shall be energy beings like God. god must be from another World , another specie an advanced one....... Maybe i'm wrong . I don't know but if i'm wrong so are the scientists, because look around and see how much life we've got around this world. its impossible to think that all this were created by just an explotion...............

Answer 8

You have to realise that although cosmologists as well as the Church accept a big bang event that created the Universe, they disagree on one fundamental point: that there was something there before the big bang or absolutely nothing.

In that respect, cosmologists believe that there was always something before the bing bang because no material can be created out of nothing. The Church, on the other hand, believes that God created the Universe out of nothing.

Answer 9

Its funny how science always poo poos religion.

In the year 2000 scientists said they discoverd everything they could, including matter, light, space ect.

In the year 2007 they have discoverd not only is there light matter but now there is dark matter ect. Science has now addmitted to only knowing and discovering 4% about our universe, especially earth.

Therefore the scientific mind is now, (at last), catching up with the spiritual side of things. And is proving it to be correct.

For Example...

A scientist decided to test the spiritualists belief on the power of thought. ( The belief that you can influnce your destiny, the way you are, and your ambitions ect by the power of your thought.) He froze 2 glasses of water. One was made using thoughts of angry, hate jelousy ect. The other happiness and love. Once under a magniscope the happy crystals had formed perfectly. The other, the crystals were broken and shaped into no particually shape of a normal crystal.

I personally dont believe in the theroy of the big bang. And to be honest i dont know how the world was 'created'. But i just think the big bang was the scientific minds only possible explination they could think of..... a bang, from nothing? Im sure you need gas or matter to create such an explosion, dont you?

Answer 10

Err!!! Pardon - nothing before the big bang - What was the singularity then?!!!!

If someone popped up with a religion that said we had always been here would that be easier for you to accept?

But look at your question - is it not just a little bit one sided? If creationism was true - what was there before God? Before the universes he is supposed to have created?

Time to think again buddy!!!!

Answer 11

There is plenty of evidence that there at least *was* a big bang... starting with the cosmic background radiation and the redshifting of distant galaxies.

There is also plenty of evidence that contradicts the biblical creation story. Whether you look at the fossil record or at DNA, it's clear that plants and animals evolved over millions of years, rather than being created in essentially their final form in a period of six days.

The creation myth in Genesis 1 even contradicts the creation myth in Genesis 2, but that's another story.
