Do all Christians Not believe in the Big Bang Theory?

Question

As a Christian, I believe that their possibly was a Big Bang. When God spoke everything into exsistance, It doesn't tell us if it just appeared or if their was a big bang, so us christians can't jump to conclusions and say "their was no big bang". Their possibly was a big bang when God spoke. When God speaks things into exsistance, its doesn't always just appear out of thin air.

Ex. Adam was made from the dust of the earth, He didn't just appear, God made him and grafted him.

SCIENCE EXPLAINATION:

Studies in cosmology have demonstrated in recent years that there was a time when the cosmos did not exist—that it had a beginning at a specific point in time. This is exactly what the Bible states. In Genesis 1:1 we read: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Both the Bible and the discoveries of science clearly indicate that the earth and the universe have not always existed.
Astronomers studying galactic motion have observed that the universe is expanding outward from a given point, but at a decreasing rate of speed. The universe appears to have begun with a large explosion. This is referred to as the "big bang." Scientists have been able to detect echoes of this explosion that still reverberate through the universe—called the "radiation echo" or "background noise." Stephen Hawking, a theoretical physicist at Cambridge University, has written that the big bang cosmology may reveal "the mind of God," and American astrophysicist

George Smoot has suggested that background radiation represents "the handwriting of God" (Science, August 15, 1997, p. 890). Such evidence is forcing scientists to reevaluate long-cherished naturalistic theories.

NUCH THE WISE:

1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Your wrong in thinking that Light came before the creation of heaven and earth so their could have been a big bang in Genesis 1: 1

Answer 1

I believe in the big bang and I'm a Christian.
I believe that the days during creation might of lasted thousands or millions of years.
We have no idea how long the days were when God was creating everything.

Answer 2

This may seem like a nit but I think the point needs to be made.

Time is simply a word we associate with change. Change is a measure of difference between two different states of reality. Without reality there is no time. Whether the big bang event is a true beginning or not, it simply makes no sense to say "there was a time when the cosmos did not exist". How would you measure a time without a reality to measure it in?

As a person who has taken graduate level cosmology and general relativity myself, I can tell you that the Cosmic Background Radiation in no way points to a god. If anything it points to a plentitudnal multiverse. Virtually every top cosmologist alive today is an atheist. Many such as Max Tegmark may be neo-platonists but certainly not theists.

I don't think the ancient goat herders who dreamed up the genesis mythology were in any way mathematically capable of deriving the solutions to general relativity we mathematicians associate with the big bang. Any similarity or lack thereof is purely an inconsequential coincidence.

Answer 3

Like a story being whispered from person to person, by the time it gets to the last person, it's barely in context with the story the first person told. The Bible has been rewritten by mortals so many times that the appropriate order of events is most likely mixed up. But the laws of man & Gods 10 commandments go hand in hand & remain clear. And it's already been established that our present day "year" is shorter than a year in the Bible, when people lived way beyond "100 years of age", even tho they died from plagues, etc. that are no longer a threat to us. And whose to say the big bang & the Christian beliefs don't go hand in hand? Our world is headed towards another kind of "big bang" after which everything on it will no longer exist, yet new life will eventually emerge from the ruins, whether it's a microism developing from beneath the ashes or a miracle creature created from a cinder...either way is His will & His doing.

Answer 4

Its so dangerous to go before God. Pls stop adding to the scriptures. There is no such thing as the big bang theory. Its an attempt by blind people to explain a blind vision. Open your eyes and embrace the Word that is put in place through Faith. God called the world into being. Let there be Light, Does Light shout with a bang? Light just shines. Pls wake up from every lousy wind of doctrine.

Answer 5

yup, God spoke and BANG! it happened. No one was there to see it except God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, so why does it matter? The real question isn't the 'BIG BANG" so much as the idea that it took gazillions of years to happen. The Bible clearly states a morning and and evening, which in our tiny little minds wouldn't really apply until day 3 when He created the Sun and Moon, but since He is so consistent with that phrase, I'm going to continue believing in a literal six day 24 hours each, creation week.

Answer 6

Because Christians believe one day God just decided to create heaven, and earth, then a few days later, he created man, by definition, Christians don't believe in the big bang theory, or anything other scientifically plausible phenomina such as oil being created out of dinosaur poo, or evolution.

Answer 7

The story of Genesis differs with science in time, order, and mechanism. For instance it has plants being created before the Sun. So if you conclude science is right, (and it is) you are concluding that the story in Genesis is wrong.

Answer 8

Agreed.
Who's to say God didn't create everything with a "BIG BANG"?

Answer 9

Are you saying the Big Bang was God having an explosive orgasm?

Answer 10

I've always wondered why God would need dirt in the first place.
