what's more believeable-the god making the world in 7 days or the Big Bang theory?

Answer 1

I don't think it has much to do with "believable" but what there's any evidence of. I mean, I could make up a nice story about how the world came to be. But can I prove it? There's the rub.

Answer 2

The big bang theory is the best mankind can come up with so far. (We've only been working on this issue for a short while - perhaps we'll be able to explain things a little better in a few hundred years or so).
Creationism, or God creating the world in 6 days so he could kick back on the seventh is nonsense. Perhaps if there is a God he initiated the big bang. Who knows how long one of God's days lasts in human terms.
As far as believeability goes; I guess that depends on how literally you take the Bible. I feel it is not to be taken literally.

Answer 3

God spoke and bang. not a lot of difference here.
Clearly it didn't just happen (ref: Newtonian physics)
It had to have a cause. First there was nothing. Demonstrably true when you view the astronomical projection of material in the universe. Then Bang, Matter originates from one location outward. Maybe we are on the other side of a black hole that is pumping matter into our universe, but the cause still remains and I don't believe it to be some random act of cosmic coincidence. As for the 7 days thing, you are taking scripture out of context. Obviously the reference cannot be earth days unless there was another earth in a parallel dimension. Days would be in reference to what was and not to what was to be.
Which is more believable...the more I understand about the nature of things, the more believable GOD becomes.

Answer 4

Well I'm not a church goer but I believe both are correct. The big bang started evolution, Who's to say God didn't lit the match so to speak. The rest was created in 7 days....Do we really know how long a day is to God..Could be a million years. Remember God didn't write the bible, literaly Man did and as such is subject to what man loves to do most.....brag and exagerate. I'm not saying the whole bible is inflated to stroke a man's ego but I do know had it been written by women....it would of been an entirely different book. Its best to just look into your heart and find what works for you, This is what works for me, that way Science and Religion share in the creation....as for we came from monkey's....HAHAHAHA funny how no other monkey's have evolved...we must of been a rare and special monkey.

Answer 5

Neither. They both defy logic, and both deal with the origins of everything, so you're talking about the nature of eternity if there is such a thing. The human mind can't really grasp something with no beginning, nor can we really understand the idea of nothingness before the beginning. It seems a lot of scientists lately are dismissing the Big Bang theory anyway, but they aren't offering anything that is necessarily more believable. It is true, though, that certain kinds of science are leading to "illogical conclusions." This just means that our current logic is incomplete. It'll be interesting to see where it leads.

Answer 6

With the rate that the humanity is going....god should have taken his time making the world than only 7 days. So I'll go with the wheelchair man, the Big Bang theory.

Answer 7

The Big Bang Theory was originally presented by a Catholic priest. He had a background in physics, understood nature and science laws and believed in his god. His theory was evolved as a way to marry science and religion. I am not christian, but I can (like the priest) see how both religion and science could be aspects of the same coin.

Answer 8

Since time is an illusion of sequential events observed by humans, while the earth and solar system revolves around itself, then the measure "seven days" would have been a human creation, after a so called creator god.
Since the universe is observed to be expanding, there had to be a point or "singularity" where it all started, thus the "big bang."

Read Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan.

Answer 9

God of course! I mean heck - try this......take some cement, some wood, some nails, some drywall, some tile and carpet and shingles and throw it all in a big bowl. Now......start spinning that bowl, or banging it, throw some water in it, throw some high wind on to it, sand blast it....whatever and keep spinning it for about 800 million years. At the end of that time...do you HONESTLY think a beautifully designed home is going to appear out of it??? Nope...it will still be a bunch of junk in a bowl.

Considering how complex we are - there has to be a Great Designer and that would be GOD...and He can do anything!!!

Answer 10

One is a theological narrative meant to communicate truth about the orgins of the universe in a creative act of God using metaphor and symbol, the other is an attempt to provide a theory of the origins of the universe based upon empirical data and rational inference without reference to the supernatural. Both are lyrical, poetic and mysterious in their own way. Both leave far more questions unanswered than answered. Both engender humility and awe. Both must be carefully interpreted in order to be understood. Both advance their own sets of dogmatic assumptions. As far as what makes them "believable"-- that would be the virtue of faith, and faith is not simply an act of the will, but a unmerited gift.

Answer 11

The Big Bang.
