A bang would be an instantaneous occurance. Wouldn't a sequential beginning seem to make sense too? Consider the amazing order of a living organism. Does order come from chaos? Doesn't chaos come from order that is failing?

So you have evidence proving the universe was the result of some other cosmic accident? The story of Creation in the Bible was not written by a bunch of demented old men...it was written by Moses as passed down to him from his ancestors. The Jews are renound for their ability to keep a story straight down through the ages.

The response that says God has to be more complex than the universe, and where does God come from makes little sense...the fact is, we don 't know how to accept things that are bigger than we are. We have to have what is known as faith. It is a powerful phenomenon...if you have faith, you can do many powerful things.

So I am ignorant about the Big Bang theory...ok. My education was in a California State University, and I was a teacher for a few years...I graduated *** Laude. Enlighten me...you must be a nuclear physicist...like the man I go to church with...he quit that profession to become a lawyer, and has been retired from that career for several years already. He believes the same way I do.

Surprising that the Latin word stating I graduated with honors is a bad word...shockers! It's a three letter word that starts with a C... and rhymes with gum, and is followed by the word Laude.

The fact that you call the big bang chaos shows your ignorance on the topic.
Sure, the universe "could have" been made in 6 days, but it wasn't. The evidence for that doesn't exist.
If you want to keep believing in your pety gods, go ahead, but when you want to speak reality and science, don't bring your superstition to the table.
Edit: You can graduate from California State University system all you like, but that doesn't make you someone educated on the topic of cosmology/astronomy. I'm a graduate from the University of California (magna by the way). Does that automatically keep me from being ignorant on certain topics? No.

The Aneristic Principle is that of APPARENT ORDER; the Eristic Principle is that of APPARENT DISORDER. Both order and disorder are man made concepts and are artificial divisions of PURE CHAOS, which is a level deeper that is the level of distinction making. With our concept making apparatus called "mind" we look at reality through the ideas-about-reality which our cultures give us. The ideas-about-reality are mistakenly labeled "reality" and unenlightened people are forever perplexed by the fact that other people, especially other cultures, see "reality" differently. It is only the ideas-about-reality which differ. Real (capital-T True) reality is a level deeper that is the level of concept. We look at the world through windows on which have been drawn grids (concepts). Different philosophies use different grids. A culture is a group of people with rather similar grids. Through a window we view chaos, and relate it to the points on our grid, and thereby understand it. The ORDER is in the GRID. That is the Aneristic Principle. Western philosophy is traditionally concerned with contrasting one grid with another grid, and amending grids in hopes of finding a perfect one that will account for all reality and will, hence, (say unenlightened westerners) be True. This is illusory; it is what we Erisians call the ANERISTIC ILLUSION. Some grids can be more useful than others, some more beautiful than others, some more pleasant than others, etc., but none can be more True than any other. DISORDER is simply unrelated information viewed through some particular grid. But, like "relation", no-relation is a concept. Male, like female, is an idea about sex. To say that male-ness is "absence of female-ness", or vice versa, is a matter of definition and metaphysically arbitrary. The artificial concept of no-relation is the ERISTIC PRINCIPLE. The belief that "order is true" and disorder is false or somehow wrong, is the Aneristic Illusion. To say the same of disorder, is the ERISTIC ILLUSION. The point is that (little-t) truth is a matter of definition relative to the grid one is using at the moment, and that (capital-T) Truth, metaphysical reality, is irrelevant to grids entirely. Pick a grid, and through it some chaos appears ordered and some appears disordered. Pick another grid, and the same chaos will appear differently ordered and disordered. Reality is the original Rorschach.

Any god worth his salt coulda done it in point six of a second.
Any god worth his salt would not have needed a rest after 'six days of work'.
Chaos would be if stuff went the other way against the laws of known physics.
What's amazing about the order of living organisms.
What would have been amazing is if they did NOT fit into that order.
If you suggest GODDIDIT is the only answer you confirm you're lazy and or not bright enough to look for the real answer.

Physicists are actually uncomfortable with the idea of the big bang because it smacks of divine intervention (what caused the big bang? what was there before?)
John Glieck's Chaos is a very good text about hidden order within chaos. In reality, there is no randomness..

The Big Bang isn't a theory of how the Universe was created. It's actually a theory of how the Universe evolved after it was created. No one really knows, scientifically, how the Universe was created.

I guess it is possible, but It would be a strange coincidence if some ancient people who wrote the bible ended up figuring that out wouldnt it?

The premise of creationism is that intelligence and order cannot arise from chaos. That can easily be proved wrong.
In the field of artificial intelligence, scientists and engineers use simulations of the theory of evolution to generate intelligent behavior from what is initially a set of random variables. I have done this myself and it DOES work.

I think you need to except the fact that A) the big bang is a theory, and theoretical physicists are right more than wrong, and B) God created the universe, but science helps us understand his creation, not hinders it. so please, don't take offense to science. you'll end up ignorant and unhappy.

Six days is symbolic....not literal within our understanding.
It emphasises that although God is perfect in power, to create the universe required effort.
God could have done it in one day, but the six days is a lesson for us.
Nothing worthwhile is ever easy.
If we come by things too easy, we do not appreciate them.
