Do you agree with the Big Bang Theory?

Question

Yes, or no?

Answer 1

No, that is ridiculous!

Answer 2

I don't agree with it completely. Sure it makes decent sense out of the evidence scientists have gathered and observed over the years, but to say the entire universe (which is larger than we can possibly fathom) began as a tiny speck in the middle of nothingness and exploded into what we see today seems too convenient. (To think that jelly donut I ate this morning began as a speck out in nothingness so many years ago and exploded into being here...)

I won't say God created everything either because that is an even more convenient answer. Just because the Bible says something doesn't make it true. The Bible was written by men long long ago when people thought the earth was still flat. With all the religious intolerance there has been thoughout time I really doubt the Bible as we know it isn't biased in a thousand ways to support a certain view. The Bible is a collection of gathered writings with many more writings omitted and was EDITED by men and the church. It simply passed through too many hands and filters to accept EVERYTHING in it at face value, especially the creation of the universe (of which there were no witnesses to write down what really happened as far as I know).

Could the Big Bang have happened? Possibly. Could God have created everything? Possibly. God could have possibly created the Big Bang. I would like that to be true so that all the people arguing Big Bang vs. Intelligent Design would both be right and all their bickering would be for naught. Where did God come from anyway? Don't you dare say New Jersey either.

Anyway, I just don't think humans have the understanding to make the CORRECT theory of how everything in existence was created. That is why I don't agree with the Big Bang.

Answer 3

Not entirely, because it doesn't explain where the orininal matter of the universe came from. Yes, it's possible that the universe was propagated by a huge explosion, but science tell us that you can't make something from nothing, so the theory, without any additional external force to supply the original matter of the universe, doesn't hold up on its own. Also, long ago, scientists were CERTAIN that the earth was flat, and even that the earth was the center of the solar system. Since then, those theories have been proven false, as may be the big bang theory in years to come. That's why they call it a theory......it's a "best guess". So, you can put your faith in man's best guess , or in another sort of guess . Bearing in mind that you can't get matter from nothing, I think it's a more logical assumption that we simply do not exist at all. Even if "god" created the universe, how did he come into existence in the first place? If we concede the fact that we don't even exist, then there doesn't have to be a logical explaination of how the universe came into existence in the first place.

Answer 4

For the most part.

Did the big bang happen? Absolutely! WMAP has confirmed the big bang as a real event, and there is ample other evidence to back up the finding. The universe IS expanding and did start with a rapid expansion many billion years ago. Anyone who tells you otherwise is misinformed.

Is the big bang a complete theory? No, of course not. The big bang is a theory that changes as we learn new information. However, it does a pretty good job explaining a lot of things right now.

Answer 5

Yes, but this isnt exactly what you're asking. The fact is that an episode of South Park actually summed this up the best way possible. The Big Bang absolutely happened, there is no question. Some people claim that God created the Heavens and The Earth, but honestly, who knows? But, on the other hand, what if the Big Bang is the "how" and not the "why". I don't understand why a Christian couldnt accept a situation where God set the Big Bang into motion. It seems logical to me. But, what do I know?

Answer 6

this question or some variation of it is asked a lot. science can go as far back as a few mili-seconds before they actual occurence of the big bang but not the point of singularity which would suggest some unknown force. also there is no reason why a religous person cannot believe in both the big bang and creationism, if the creator said let there be light, then it stands to reason a big bang might follow. try as we might no one has created something from nothing so i believe in the big bang and i believe there was an entity that created it.

Answer 7

It's an interesting theory, but I believe that we are only touching the tip of the iceberg - there is much more that we still don't understand. Of course, this doesn't contradict the Creationists, either - if God exists outside of time, then He is in the ideal place to create all matter. Nowhere does it say that He didn't create the singularity that then exploded according to His plan, and under his guidance.

Answer 8

Ever since the the Belgian Priest, Father Georges Lemaître, set forth this theory in 1927 and the scientist Edwin Hubble found evidence, years later, in the form of "red shift" that helped to justify the theory it has been the best, most logical and rational explanation we have on the subject. It has given rise to many other theories regarding the working of the universe which have truly increased our knowledge and understanding. Do I believe in it? I believe in the possibility of it.

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

The big bang theory is backed up by mountains of evidence. No competing theory enjoys nearly as much support from the phsyical evidence.

Answer 11

The big bang theory currently is supported by the most scientific evidence, and makes the most sense. Those that disagree don't have the mental capacity to understand the facts.
