. . . set the physics of our universe. Due to the nature of quantum indeterminacy, things evolved by chance to create galaxies (top down theory) or stars that aggregated into galaxies (bottom up theory) and the solar nebulae of suns created planets (very embryonic) and ultimately, if the planets were in the "green" zone of their parent star, evolved into life, some of it sentient (i.e., self-aware). Bear with me, there's a question forthcoming. If all these things could come about from the initial conditions of the high energy plasma state of the universe, isn't it true that God has been out of a job for about 13.7 billion years? Unless, of course, you believe that God DOES really determine the outcome of football games. Looking for serious answers but if you want to go for "2" by all means go for it, I don't begrudge anything. No violation flags from this asker.

For those of you who proffer that the Big Bang came for magic land or that explosions need elements for their causation, I humbly submit that I have indeed read a bit about the subject. No BB theorist will claim that anything "banged" or that it was "big." The name "Big Bang" was coined by the detractors of the theory, but not surprisingly, given human nature, the name stuck. Research scalar fields,

false vacuum, multiverse theory, etc. And before you do that, gain some understanding of the quantum world, quantum chromodynamics, and what energy and light are really all about, given our understandably limited understanding of same. Insofar as "limited" goes, such limitation has nevertheless led us to distcover the esoteric reality of quantum tunneling, without which your color TV, computer chip, and cell phones could not operate. So give some credit where credis is due, sil vous plait.

I agree but the problem is mans natural inclination to need a beginning which of course requires a beginning. this logic fails even with additional understanding as does the deity theory.how can something come from nothing ? unfathomable is my conclusion and this leaves time to deal with the more important things close at hand . in the random indeterminacy isn't it just the natural affinity of things to form and then assume the function inherent rather than our cognitive reasoning of form following function ? we look at the tendency of development to ascertain or extrapolate the facts but this could be misleading . I know where football comes from anyway . god out of a job ? what god? if string theory becomes real then maybe there is even a jump between dimensions somewhere along the line from a world of new laws where matter and energy are spontaneous and how would we ever know this . one can imagine anything an if you can think it it could happen . it's got me thoroughly confused so I'll just say peace out

It is possible that a supernatural creator (I'm intentionally not saying "God", because then some people will think I mean Jehovah or some other god they believe in) created the universe with the Big Bang. If we assume that happened, its a good question to ask if this supernatural creator has since chosen to make any alterations & adjustments that would have required local violations of the laws of physics set at the time of the Bang. We haven't detected any such supernatural adjustments, but that doesn't prove there hasn't been any.
The one thing we can be pretty certain of is that the description of creation given in the Bible is clearly just an ancient myth. It has no relationship to facts whatsoever, and has much in common with the creation stories of other cultures that are now universally regarded as myths.

Yes, it seems to me that there are two gaps for god to fit into: the big bang and abiogenesis. Science is closing in on the answers to these.
Everything else leads to the problem of evil, meaning, if god can ___ (answer whatever prayer, find you a parking space, help you win the game, fill in the blank) then why does he permit 10 million children under the age of 5 to die of hunger-related causes every year? Therefore, god does not exist (or at least the benevolent, omniscient, omnipotent god Christianity postulates).

The Bible calls the creation of the universe God's 'fingerwork'. That makes sense, since creation was literally a snap of His fingers. [Fluctuation of a quantum singularity] Evolution, however, cannot actually occur without Intent. This has been proven under scientific conditions in the creation of an inedible form of aquarium plant which has since escaped into the wild. That was created 'accidentally' through human intent. Is it really so hard to accept that natural evolution takes place because of Divine Intent?

I believe in the concept but the physics are a too complicated for my simple mind. All the things in the Universe starts and ends. I believe the Big Bang starts with the end of another Universe. Why not?

Well, if the Big Bang theory is going to hold any water, then it must answer the question of "Where did the element(s) that went 'BANG' come from?"
Explosions usually require the interaction of at least two substances. But for the benefit of the doubt, where did even one come from?

I think you are the kind of person that tends to believe everything you read but probably don't understand any of it. Don't mean to be rude but I certainly didn't understand anything you just stated except I don't believe God determines the outcome of football games, but, I would gamble on any results He happened to give me.
One more thing, when did you ever see an explosion determine the physics of anything. All I've ever seen is a mess, especially when I put an egg in the microwave. Ewwwwww.

Evolutionists believe there was a big bang of matter that came from magic land and it produced everything we see today. When have you ever seen an explosion that created anything but chaos?
Very interesting that they believe life came from non-life, how is that science? Sounds like a faith to me. Their whole religion is built on a foundation of assumptions and bad hypothesis.

DUDE!! Phfffft! That was cool. Bear with me, uh, YES, God has been collecting unemployment insurance, but it ran out 13.699997 billion years ago. Well, it is a fair cop, still better than 6 months. Thank you, thank you....tf

nice answer martin s judging from the thumbs down the godless hate you for it. They hate logic being used against them you know.
Hey a lot of 50 dollar words but its all speculation and Hypothisis. When will you guys just admit that big bang is just your best guess.
