Calling anyone who believes in the Big Bang Theory!!! My question was not answered last time...?

Question

The bible talks about three heavens; one being outer space.
If you look at

Psalm 104:2
2Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

wouldn't this be talking about the expanding of the universe (aka the heavens) that Edwin Hubble discovered 3000 years after mentioned in the bible?

or Job 9:8
"8Which alone spreadeth out the heavens...".

Also scientist say the bing bang started from a "A singularity" which means no volume isn't this the same concept in Hebrews 11:3 where it basically says that the starting point of the universe was invisible (no volume).

Also in Genesis 1:1 the Hebrew word for "created" (bara) means a "creation from nothing"

Doesn't it almost sound like sciences "big bang theory" and the bible are almost on the same wave length... Universe created from nothing aka a singularity and the universe is expanding??
Only difference is the bible claimed this long before science.

Any thoughts on this?
just wondering

There is no other ancient literature, religion, or scientist(s) in the world which produced such an accurate portrayal of the "Big Bang" ---including the expanding universe, with a "beginning" from nothing (from what is invisible), and the beginning of time--- BEFORE it was all revealed by God through the prophets in the Bible

Answer 1

The three heavens referred to in Scripture are; the sky, or the atmosphere; outer space; and Heaven, the abode of God. Your conclusions are right on the money.

Answer 2

Actually, I could translate those verses extremely differently than you did:

Psalm 104:2: God created the sun, which is the source of all light in the universe.

Job 9:8: The sun is the only source of light in the universe. (No on knew when this was written that there were more suns out there.)

Genesis 1:1: "Created" referred to the primordial ooze.

You see, anyone can see what they want to see; there is no consensus. You are not the authority on the Bible, and just like most of your kind, you pick and choose what to take literally and what to take as a metaphor. Your logic sucks. Go to college, and work on that high schools honors education you claim to have.

Answer 3

Actually no.
Psalm 104:

"Bless the LORD, my soul! LORD, my God, you are great indeed! You are clothed with majesty and glory, robed in light as with a cloak. You spread out the heavens like a tent."

In other words a ceiling, something to look at.

Hebrews 11:3 actually says created it from nothing visible. Gases are detectable and in mass quantities are quite visible, especially in the coldness of space.

The universe was not created from "nothing." The mass was already there when *this* universe was created. There were other universes that came before us.

"It is God who removes the mountains, they know not how,...stretches out the heavens."

This was discussing god's abilities and not mentioning things we actually know now.

Take a look at the previous statements and you get a context for how things are being used.

Answer 4

Finding meaning in the symbolism of a text is not proof that it was intentional. These are translated words out of the historical context in which they were written, and thus the intention of the author could be quite different from a modern day interpretation. This is the same way that Nostradamus' cantos are able to be interpreted as "telling the future." The imagery is so broad, that it could be thought of as explaining something the writer had no way of knowing anything about. But this meaning comes from the modern reader, not the intentions of an ancient author.

Answer 5

"isn't this the same concept in Hebrews 11:3 where it basically says that the starting point of the universe was invisible (no volume)." - Invisible does not mean "no volume". It means "not seen". You need to stop trying to force to Bible to say something that it was never meant to say. It is a book that strives to teach men how to live and be pleasing to God. It is not a science book.

Answer 6

It's quite a stretch,but,I always said I don't mind faith.I despise the rejection of education.If you want to say"God started the big bang"I really don't have a problem with it.Currently,although there are theories floating around,we REALLY don't know what caused the big bang,so to be honest,a god is as good a guess as any.Problem arising when you follow that to other things in the bible we know are false.But,good start.At least you don't dismiss pretty much proven science

Answer 7

If it doesnt say in the Bible that God created the world with a 'big bang' then He didnt. He said 'Let there be light' and there was light.

Answer 8

I see where you’re going with this, and you could very well be right, through not for the reasons you’re stating. You are misunderstanding the metaphor here. He means spread like a blanket. Like the phrase “blanket of stars. They saw the stars as a covering for the earth in those days.

Answer 9

Scientists are more closely examining the idea that the Big Bang theory more closely fits how the earth was created.

Answer 10

Those verses do not discribe anything related to the Big Bang, except through a stretch of the imagination.

Spread out like a curtain, come on?
