With all due respect: Big Bang, my foot!

Have you even considered not worshipping books and mere THEORIES, and turning to COD?

To begin with, nothingness does not exist. Even in the vacuum of space between atoms there exist "something." That something is called virtual particles. These are particles in a vacuum which appear and disappear from mutual annihilation before they have an effect of the universe. There existence has been proven in scientific experiments by adding energy to the particles so that they become real particles which are then quickly separated from their anti-particles before they have a chance to annihilate each other. (Click on http://zebu.uoregon.edu/~imamura/209/apr14/virtual.html for more info.)

It is possible that the Big Bang arose from just such virtual particles. Whatever the mechanism that created the radiation and matter in our universe, there are too many proofs of the truth of the Big Bang to discuss all of them in a forum such as this one. Just to mention a couple of the strongest proofs, there is the observable fact that all galaxy clusters are moving away from each other and that there is a background radiation left over from the Big Bang which can also be observed and measured.

Lastly, I disagree with your unspoken assumption that believing in the existence of God and the Big Bang are mutually exclusionary. There is nothing in the Christian religion or in scientific experiments that preclude the universe from having arisen from a big bang. My personal thoughts on questions such as this is that the questioner finds science to be harder to understand than religious teachings. This does not make science invalid.

(P.S.) Aren't you worshiping books yourself? After all, the Bible is a book, is it not?

OK - let's say that Cod created the Big Bang - so what. He apparently created it in such a way that galaxies formed, stars formed, planets formed, life began, humans evolved, and we came to understand the physical beauty of the universe as created by the great Cod in the sky.

OK - but that doesn't make the big bang wrong. The big bang physicists don't even know - and don't claim to know - what happened just before the big bang. Cod-fearing creationism is NOT incompatible with science (except for those who say the universe is 6000 years old) - but even then, let's say Cod created a universe - 6000 years ago that left all of the evidence in place such that smart humans using cod-given analytical powers would determine that the universe is 15 billion years old. OK - so we can't disprove it one way or the other.

That's why 6000 year old universe creationism isn't science. It's a belief - which even if true - has no discernible empirical basis - it is just believed. OK - fine - you believe it. That's OK - it's still interesting to see what Cod's universe tells us through scientific analysis.

So let me get this straight, you think the universe came from a fish?

The big bang doesn't create something out of nothing, maybe you should do a little research before asking us to turn to COD?

The big bang theory of the universe says... all the Universes matter/energy always existed and is believed to by cyclic, which means the matter explodes and expands then collapses and does it all over again, who knows how many times the "big bang" has happened.

Assuming you are talking about God and not COD, I would like to pose the same question to you. You can't get something from nothing where did God come from?

I w4lk... about not turning to books and theories... what is God exactly? people say he wrote a book, they wrote a book, the book got passed around, these were back in times where people believed books, they made theories. at least the big bang theory has some sort of ground instead of mere faith

Turning to COD, now there's a new one. Props for originality.

(BTW, who ever said that matter and energy weren't eternal? If matter and energy have always existed, and have always been in flux, then the universe is just repeating an eternal cycle. There need not be any something coming out of nothing, since there always was something.

That's an angle that people seem to overlook in these debates.)

Doesn't the Bible say that, before creation,

"God moved upon the face of the deep"?

"The deep" is certainly SOMETHING!
(Where one goes to find COD maybe?)

Besides, who ever said that there was nothing before the big bang?

In many circles, the big bang was the END EFFECT of a previous universe contracting upon itself. i.e.; The "cycles" that are referred to in Hinduism.

You're the one worshiping books, not Physicists.

And you're talking about something coming from nothing, so where did "COD" come from?

RickB: Damn that was a good one. Hahaha.
