Question

matter cannot be created nor destroyed-
this is a basic scientific principal.
so using you own logic where did the world come from, how did the big bang happen.

Answer 1

This neither proves nor disproves anything. You're giving the atheists a turkey shoot. I believe in God very much, but what you're doing is playing into the atheists hand.Keep in mind they're looking at things from a totally different perspective than believers.Don't play their game and don't play on their field.

Answer 2

You are right, and I will get to that in a moment, but let me ask you this then: If matter cannot be created or destroyed, how did God create the Universe, I mean...the Bible *did* say that in the Beginning there was only *God* so...how did He create matter if matter cannot be created? Also, to answer the original query, I believe in the opposite of the Big Bang, the Big Crunch, where after the Universe becomes big enough, gravity will start pulling in on the Universe (similar to the saying, "What comes up, must come down." savvy?) And the Universe will start shrinking again, until it gets to that quantum singularity that was the Beginning, and it will blow up again because all that matter cannot be contained forever...therefore restarting the Universe. *That* is what I believe happened at the beginning of our Universe. And will happen at the end of it. A continuing cycle of birth and re-birth. Hope I helped.
-EDIT- And when I say, "You are right" I meant the scientific principal...

Answer 3

Christians will like this? They won't understand a word of it.

You are the one that believes in creation. No one said the Big Bang created matter. The big bang was just a singularity. According to general relativity the initial state of the universe, at the beginning of the Big Bang, was a singularity, or single point. Another type of singularity predicted by general relativity is inside a black hole: any star collapsing beyond a certain point would form a black hole, inside which a singularity (covered by an event horizon) would be formed, as all the matter would flow into a certain point (or a circular line, if the black hole is rotating). These singularities are curvature singularities.

For all we know...big bangs have happened over and over again. But we are living in the cycle of the last one.

Answer 4

All that matter, that can not be created nor destroyed, started expanding.

Think about the earth being compressed to the size of a marble, then let it go... Very big "bang"

That is the simple answer, now if you want all the big answers I'm sure you will do your due diligence and study the topic.

Answer 5

Hundreds of millions of Christians believe that the big bang happened. Why don't you ask your questions in the correcft category?

"About 15 billion years ago a tremendous explosion started the expansion of the universe. This explosion is known as the Big Bang. At the point of this event all of the matter and energy of space was contained at one point. What exisisted prior to this event is completely unknown and is a matter of pure speculation. This occurance was not a conventional explosion but rather an event filling all of space with all of the particles of the embryonic universe rushing away from each other. The Big Bang actually consisted of an explosion of space within itself unlike an explosion of a bomb were fragments are thrown outward. The galaxies were not all clumped together, but rather the Big Bang lay the foundations for the universe."

There's an extremely brief explanation of how it happened.

Answer 6

I can cut and paste too... wanna see?

There was energy of a infinite density compressed into the point that existed "before" the big bang. This energy formed matter, in the form of H and He. That matter formed stars, which (through fusion) formed heavier elements.

After a long time, the heavier elements eventually condensed into solar systems, including ours. That's how we got Earth.

This explanation has not violated the law of conservation of matter/energy because matter and energy are the same thing according to general relativity. There was a large amount potential energy stored in the Point that existed "before" the Big Bang, and this energy formed the matter we see today.

Also, I'm using the term "before" loosely and it implies prior causation as opposed to anything temporal.

Where does the Bible say God got the stuff to make his universe? I'm pretty sure he would have actually had to "create" matter/energy.

Answer 7

Yet another person who does not understand science. Matter can be converted to energy. It is essentially being destroyed to create energy. This is happening in the sun as we speak. Hydrogen atoms are undergoing nuclear fusion to become helium atoms. This process ends up with less mass and more energy. That is why we get so much energy from the sun.

Therefore, your question falls apart from the very beginning. Matter and energy are interchangeable. The famous equation, E = MC^2 describes the relationship between energy and matter.

Answer 8

I'm not an atheist, but this is a very poor way to argue God's existence. If anything, saying that matter cannot be created or destroyed only REFUTES God's existence, because to say that implies that God could NOT have created the universe.

Answer 9

Matter/energy has always existed. There is no beginning and no end, just a series of events that we can discuss, since the concept of infinity seems to throw some for a loop. The big bang is one defined event in an infinity of time and space.

Answer 10

In the beginning a bunch of energy and a whole lot of matter, were just hanging out, when they noticed this God guy lift his leg and B A N G, everything started flying in all directions.
Then the matter and energy guys said "Hey we can take credit for this, and help our people, who we'll call "Atheists",to fool everybody into thinking that everything simply "evolved" from that nasty cloud of gas".
But don't let those Atheists fool you. They're all scared to death that he might let one go again.
