When god said let there be light could this have been the big bang?

Answer 1

I have no idea if your question is straight, or tinged with irony, or some other flavour, but I suspect that you may be even closer to 'truth' than you may have imagined.

Unfortunately I doubt that you will agree with me, mostly because the truth of the 'Beginning' is still too hard to get our cerebral cortex around for the vast majority of us. Not because anyone is 'dumb', but because to 'get it' we have to leave behind virtually all of the precepts that have given our day to day lives meaning.

So. what do we have, the main 'elements' of the 'Physical Universe' ?

We have energy, matter and some means of interchanging between the two, right ?

Big Bang assumes that the initial state is all matter, highly compressed, all the stuff that ever was, is, and will be, with no spaces in between, just 'stuff'. A tiny lump of it, in 'spacial' ( hehehehe ) terms, incredibly massive ( in physics terms ).

Of course this is an impossibly impossible scenario, and thus perfect for us humans, we never seem happier than when we are expounding upon the impossible.

So, what happens next ? Some kind of 'critical mass' a la nuclear fission, and {{{{{{{B O O O M}}}}}} !!! Ooops, there's a whole new SomethingVerse.

Now, the trouble with this is that it doesn't make any practical sense. If everything goes BOOM and flies off in all directions at little under light speed, then how does anything get back together again, long enough to generate some of that old fraud, 'Gravity', and get some stuff to stick together and make some nebulae and Oort clouds and star clusters and stuff. Let alone all these funky little planets.

So, nope, I'm not buying that old mumbo-jumbo, gotta get some new mumbo-jumbo.

So, back to the creating board. Now, we have energy and we have matter and we have ....... well, we're still not sure what it is, but it's the way to get energy and matter to interchange, right ?

Now here a radical suggestion. How about sentient thought ? How about all those freakly quantum experiments that show that it is actually the observer/observation that collapses the wave form , and introduces the particulate ?

Ok, I'm going to cut this short, because people are either ready to 'see' this or not. It's us, folks, we are the 'Cosmic Observer. Or rather all together we are.

In the 'beginning' we were 'One', I call us ( at that stage ) 'First Thought'. The first thought of 'First Thought' was probably something like "Hello ? What's this ..... where is this .... what is where ... what am I ..... why can't I see anything ...... let's turn on some lights whatever they might be ...... and so on and so on.

In other words 'Big Bang' wasn't any kind of physical explosion, it was the beginning of an explosion of thought. each thought generating yet another manifested material thing or event, and that leading to others, mushrooming out from the 'centre' literally at 'Thought Speed' ( sorry Albie, that's faster than 'Light Speed', verging on 'Ludicrous Speed'
).

The Cosmic Observer reproducing itself, in amoeba-like fashion and each new version starting yet another chain. And that is where we came into the equation. The latest representatives of 'First Thought', made, literally, in it's image.

Super-sonic. :-)))

Answer 2

Well let us take a look at the actual text and see.
genisis chapter one
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.[a] 2 The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
3 Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

In the original hebrew the begining refers to the start off point. somewhere in eternity past God created heaven and Earth.
In verse two the hebrew term translated formless and empty refers to a state of chaos resulting from a calamity.
So according to the text in the Begining God created heavens and Earth in verse 1. Then a cosmic catastraphy
destroyed the creation leaving it in a state of chaos. From verse 2 on God is putting the creation back in order, and restoring life to it, in effect recreating what was already created.
All the bible says about the creation of the universe in is that God created it in the begining. The bible does not give an explaination more than this. There are things that we are simply not meant to know yet.

Answer 3

Uh. .no. .if you read Genesis Chapter 1 it says that God created the heavens and the Earth THEN said let there be light. In the big bang theory the Earth was "supposedly created" through the "bang" part (the part which you think is the "let there be light" part) but in the Bible Earth was created before light.

Answer 4

Humble opinion:
In the beginning God was alone within himself (Being).
When the commandment "Let There Be Light" came forth, there were rays of light or souls as we know them, allowed to radiate outward into the heavens from God. These were the, fragments of Gods being sent forward to answer a formidable question "Is this all that there is or is there possibly more to experience in a thing called time and space". Each life form known as man has a ray of light placed within, and God (The Creator), is experiencing things through man.
May all praise and praises be to God alone...Amen & Ameen

Answer 5

Though I'm an atheist, Genesis would fit as a metaphor for the big bang and the evolution of life's diversity on earth, as god's mechanism. Precise timings and sequences of events aren't as necessary for metaphors and allegories.

Answer 6

The "huge bang" did no longer take place in any way or style. the completed universe became into created in place at as quickly as. in case you have self assurance in black holes the way technological awareness expresses them than the gravity in the previous the super bang could have been so super that no longer something could have "banged" out of the gravity nicely. technological awareness has by no skill been waiting to respond to the undemanding question of the place all the difficulty interior the universe got here from interior the 1st place. purple shift-blue shift astronomy in if truth be told mistaken because it can not verify how lots monatomic count is interior the gap between the observer and the megastar or galaxy. once you seem on the sunlight throughout a smoky hearth curiously yellower or purple. this does not advise the sunlight itself has grow to be purple, in straightforward terms our means to visual demonstrate unit it. Lightspeed has consistently been represented in mathmatical formula as "c", meaning consistent. it fairly is yet another flaw in "modern technological awareness". because gentle may be acted upon via an exterior stress (gravity) it can not be reliably counted to consistently have a similar velocity in all situations. gentle may be bent, this skill that it could additionally be speeded up or slowed. "perception" in technological awareness by using fact the only answer to our questions is extremely slender minded for my area. a real scientist could desire to be waiting to contemplate ALL possibilities and not immediately reject a concept by using fact it does not conform to a preconcieved concept.

Answer 7

Marrying the two concepts would require a drastic reordering of either the scientific concept of the Big Bang or the narrative of the creation.

Answer 8

NO dont be an evolutions I belive in the big bang and you better get ready fo it because its coming to a city near you.

Answer 9

Yes I have read that god said let there be lightning instead of light. Very much possible.

Answer 10

I think so, IF the big bang actually happened.

But I also think that God created the universe to APPEAR as if it were billions of years old.
