Is it not possible that God created the world by way of the big bang theory and us by way of evolution?

Question

Or is it that nobody wants to be wrong and nobody wants to admit that it's possible that both sides are right? Seriously can anybody truly claim to know for a fact one way or the other?

Andrew W - Why would you assume that I'm a Christian? Don't you realize that assumptions are the mother of all (expletive) ups?

Answer 1

Of course it's possible. Anything is possible. A lot of people refuse to consider it as a possibility, however, because it takes away from them a reason to keep attacking the other side over matters such as these--hence the hostile reaction you generally get for "middle of the road" suggestions such as these.

Answer 2

I can't "know" for certain that God wasn't involved in creating the many wonderful things around us, but I can look at religions of the past, which have fallen into little more than ruins and words in history books, to see that man's opinion of the supernatural is both fallible and malleable. This leads me to doubt modern ideas about God's role in the creation of life and the universe, favoring those ideas which do not require a supernatural agent. It appears to me that the origin of life, the origin of the cosmos, and the origin of humankind can all be explained with natural means. So, even though I have no "evidence" to bring to the table proving God's nonexistence, I can say that his existence is unlikely, and I can say that it is more likely that he is a human invention.

Answer 3

If it all happened through physical laws, then why do you need god at all?

Yes, we CAN claim to know a fact one way or another. That's why it's called a FACT, and not an OPINION. For example, it is a FACT that if I drop this book, it will fall as long as I am standing on the surface of a planet. And no amount of opinion would change that.

Answer 4

Anyone can claim they have the truth, but no one really does. Sure God could have created the universe through the big bang and evolution, but eventually less and less the answers to the tough questions in life will be "God did it"

Answer 5

You instantly assume that all supporters of evolution do not believe in creation.

I happen to believe something similar to that.

The reason the disagreement exists is that some backers of evolution do not believe in god, and a majority of the supporters of creation take the bible literally on all points.

Answer 6

God's telling of how things came about is the truth.
Start here...

King James Version...Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

And just keep going. It's a can't put it down book!

Answer 7

I somewhat have puzzled my faith, yet a God constantly brings me decrease back. How can the God merely ensue with the help of itself? How can God merely pop into existence? i don't get how all people can settle for a supernatural experience like that without believing in God ..... that created himself.

Answer 8

I believe that God used evolution ,the real evolution , that is we evolved from humans such as Australopithecene,Java, Neanderthal, and Cro-Magnon man over millions of years was the act of creation and that to me is not inconceivable and definitely probable and possible.

Answer 9

Well, God's 'testimony' the bible states that he created everything According to it's Kind, which goes against evolution. But the Big Bang might have been controlled by him, who knows.

Answer 10

GOD is just what unscientific people call the unknown. Now the we have stong evidence that the big bang occurred we don't know what caused it. I KNOW GOD CAUSED IT!!!! As sonn as we figure out what caused it god will take another step back.
