God vs Big Bang?

Question

If there is no God, how did the earth come to be? The earth, the galaxy surely did not poof out of no where, you do not get something from nothing. Since a higher power only seems to be the answer; wouldn't that mean that we were created from a higher power as well. If the Earth did pop out of no where, how did it form organisms to create complex creatures. And if thats the case, how do we know if God intended us to be evolved or not anyway?
What I'm saying is, isn't a God the only way we could be in existence. I mean I understand people thinking we evolved, but the galaxy and Earth forming did not come out of no where.

Answer 1

I agree with you....and I think that the best way to answer that is to think about the random thought that you see everywhere....if people evolved from apes, then why do we still have apes? I mean if we did evolve then why didn't they...the theory of evolution is exactly that a theory not a fact....in order for evolution to be factual then all beings and creatures should be evolved and past creatures like apes shouldn't be in existance.

Answer 2

God does not exist by default.

Simply saying 'we don't know how it happened' is not justification for God. It only means that we do not know. Your right, something does not come from nothing, obviously means that there was something here before the big bang. What? I don't know, but not know does not make it God by default.

And we do know how simply life forms became complex life forms. Evolution and a cuple billion years.

Also, the Big Bang does not prove that God doesn't exist. It simply proves that the Big Bang is where the universe started. It is impossible to prove whether God exist or not. Even the Big Bang is in dispute, and if something else is proven right, then that will be accepted. Again, saying "we don't know" does not make the answer God by default.

There are many answers other than God that can be proven.

Answer 3

Belief in God is a leap of faith as it cannot be scientifically proven.
Belief in evolution is a leap of faith as it cannot be scientically proven. That is why it is still called the "Theory of Evolution."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution
of evolution by natural selection was first proposed by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace and set out in detail in Darwin's 1859 book On the Origin of Species.[5] In the 1930s, Darwinian natural selection was combined with Mendelian inheritance to form the modern evolutionary synthesis,[3] in which the connection between the units of evolution (genes) and the mechanism of evolution (natural selection) was made. This powerful explanatory and predictive THEORY has become the central organizing principle of modern biology, providing a unifying explanation for the diversity of life on Earth."

Belief in a a 'big bang' is also a leap of faith as it cannot be proven scientifically. That is why it is called the "Big Bang Theory."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_bang
"The THEORY of Big Bang nucleosynthesis predicts the rates at which various light elements are created in models of the early universe and gives results that are generally consistent with observations. The Big Bang model also predicts the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB), a background of weak microwave radiation filling the whole universe. The discovery of the CMB in 1964 led to general acceptance among physicists that the Big Bang is the best model for the origin and evolution of the universe."

None of the theories above can really be either proved or disproved. They are all a collection of "could haves" and "maybes".
I personally choose to believe in God. My reasoning being that my belief is a win/win situation. Let's say I'm wrong and evolution is really how it all happened. Does it matter? No. Evolution doesn't promise any kind of reward system. Let's say I'm wrong and Big Bang is the answer. Does that matter? No. The Big Bang Theory is not a conscious being. The worst thing that will happen is a couple people throughout my life might've thought me silly for believing in God.
Now, let's just say I was right, and there is a God. That might actually matter.

Answer 4

Actually it did - it can be mathematically proved.
God is a separate question and answer category than to the big bang.
Science works and hence - computers ; god - in all forms in religion = control over the masses (ie History Channel , Ancient Egypt tried to create one god - son god and get rid of all ther others - reason being the priests were becoming too powerful - it didn't work ; the jews got it right - the romans adopted the concept - Holy Roman Empire - which exists today!).
Control over science = Dark Ages
separate = TODAY
pure science = true knowledge without morals!

Answer 5

You can get something from nothing. What about children? They are born everyday, but they started as nothing. They weren't even a an idea yet. Energy was created out of nowhere. The earth is created out of nowhere. And, besides, if you belive in god, then you believe he/she/it spoke the world into existence, right? So, technically, you belive that "In the Beginning" there was nothing, until god spoke and the Earth popped out of nowhere. We evolved because we needed to do something, and we got it done. We have adapted to our "spoken" world so that we can survive, so we can grow.
*sighs*
I know that's not going to get Best Answer.
(by the way, I'm not trying to make you angry or anything. If you want to belive in a god, then go right ahead.
Pleeeaaassseee don't try to push your religion on others!)

Answer 6

I simply don't see the logic in some "entity" being creating everything. According to the bible, the earth is only like 6000 years old, yet carbon dating prooves some fossils to be at least 20,000 years old. I'd rather just go with the proof, rather than the belief. There is no proof God created the Earth, and there is proof of the Big Bang. If you don't like it, pick up a science book once in a while.

Answer 7

So where did this "Higher Power" you speak of come from? Who created "God"?

Pretending you have an answer because the question is too hard does result in knowledge.

We ARE here, so this is all we have. It must (by default, as someone said) be what God intended. Can you have anything which God , the ALL POWERFUL CREATOR (insert thundery music), did not intend to exist?

Plug the hole in your theory before you start trying to punch holes in other theories.

The Atheistic arguments of "chance" are just as vialbe as religious childrens stories about how things came to be. NEITHER is the whole explaination.

Answer 8

You might ask yourself why you need a god to live. Or, how does the belief in a god give me what I want and need to survive. It sounds as though you need to believe in a god or some form of supernatural superpower in order to answer questions that you have. What will the answers to these questions give you? Will the answer to these questions help you get what you want and need to survive? Will they help you live in any way?

The pressure to ask these questions is ingrained into you by your upbringing and society. The human organism does not need any of this for living. We are told that we do and are supposed to use our imagination to envision the idea of something culture says.

No one 'knows' how the earth came to be but the pursuit of the 'answer' has been ongoing since we first used thought to imagine.

It doesn't really matter.

Answer 9

so if the galaxy and earth did not come out of nowhere, where did it come from? why does it have to come from god?

God is a useful tool to use when you don't understand and can't admit that you don't have the knowledge or intellect to understand.

This however does not mean there is not a god.

Answer 10

Actually, most creditable scientist have abandoned evolution as the origin of life. The vast majority of the evidence tends toward the big bang theory of creation. Both are just theories and require a lot of faith to be believed in.
