To start with, "Let there be light" is inaccurate. If Genesis was at time zero, it was another 100,000 years before photon decoupling, before light was able to pierce the quark soup. And it was a long, long, loooooong, long time before one not-so-special G2 type star was formed that ultimately enabled life to grow on one of its planets. Before that time, billions upon billions of galaxies were formed, each with hundreds of billions of suns and presumably their own compliment of life-bearing planets. Funny there is no mention of this in Genesis. There was like "THE SUN" and a bunch of stars. Gee, you'd think the Creator would know that our sun was just another star. Too bad the sand people that concocted the Bible didn't.

Check out the book Creator and the Cosmos by Hugh Ross. It's all about how the first chapter of Genesis lines up with what modern cosmology has to say about the beginning of the universe.

Because cosmologists are arrogant people. Humans still don't know how the beginning was, nobody was there to see it, yet scientists think they know everything. The fact is that even the smartest scientists get old and die. We have no power to stop death or old age. We think we are very smart, but really we are nothing. The bible tells us how the beginning was. You can have faith in the bible or in human cosmologists. Both take the same amount of faith.

Because they have no faith in God. God was and is the ultimate creator of the universe. All cosmologists tell you is that the world came to be . They can not tell you who created it.

What makes you think it isn't? Just because it isn't written in modern scientific jargon doesn't mean it is without truth. I'm beginning to think people who are so intent of defaming the Bible deliberately ignore facts about culture and history. It was given to people who did not have our science so it wasn't written for our science. It's not a science book, it's a book given to man to help him learn about God and how to live well.

You are sadly mistaken....
read this ....from Stephen Hawking....
".... It would be perfectly consistent with all we know to say that there was a Being who was responsible for the laws of physics". Stephen Hawking....American Scientist, 73, (1985).

It's about as useful as Summerian mythology or any other fairy tale creation story. In other words, a cute little story the people who were a step up from cavemen came up with to explain their existence.

Because it has nothing to do with how the universe actually formed.

Because none of the relevant constants are listed.
