Is God more believable than the Big Bang Theory?

Question

I find it more believable that God created matter than the idea that matter formed itself from nothing. It seems like creationism is as believable as TBBT. In fact, I find it more comforting to think that a loving God created us than that we're doomed on Earth, and when we die we lose all consciensness. So here's my question: Is it more believable that a.) Matter appeared from nowhere, exploded, and in a bizzar chance eventually fromed into the universe with high intelligent life? or b.) God appeared from nowhere (I'll admit I don't know where he came from), created the universe (therefore increasing the odds of the universe being formed by about 1,000,000,000,etc.) and created highly intelligent life? You may believe in evolution, but if it's true, why are there no signs of a "missing link"? Wouldn't we be able to see the progression over time? Why are there animal fossils that are believed to have "evolved", the same animals today, but no fossils of the "inbetween"? God=Sense!

Answer 1

I remember a funny analogy used once to ask this same question. It was referred to as the big ford theory. And it asked: If you were to wake up one morning and look out the window and see a brand new ford mustang convertible sitting in your driveway, what would make more sense to you? That 1: All the thousands of parts that make up a Ford Mustang randomly came together in the exact order necessary to make the car up as it appears in front of you; or 2. That someone put it there.

I'll let you all work that out for yourself. I'll just say that I don't believe that religion and science by their innate nature are mutually exclusive. I believe it is people with (sometimes militant) agendas that make them that way. Religion, if nothing else, is a concept that "evolved" over time. Monkeys don't have it, nor do fish, lions, or birds. Something about mankind strives to connect with whatever is out there. This is something that Science and Religion share very much in common.

Sooner or later, everyone finds out the truth for themselves and then bares the consequences (good or bad) for believing and behaving the way they did before it (either as it has been suggested on other posts - you face your creator, or you realize you wasted your life talking to something imaginary). There are certainly good and bad examples of everything in existence. Good and bad cops, good and bad fast food chains, good and bad Religious people and Scientists. There's nothing that can really be done about the bad elements that give the rest of the group a bad name. All that can be done is to try and realize most of what gets argued about can't be answered one way or the other - at least in such a way that you will ever be able to force someone else to believe whatever it is that you believe.

Personally I think Science would be better off working on things that will improve society while they're waiting to find out whether or not there actually is an intelligent being that designed and controls the universe, than waste all of its energy trying to prove that Religion is wrong, because best case scenario is that you will just provide more proof to people that already didn’t believe in Religion in the first place.

And Religion would be better off living an honest, humble, responsible life and letting people make their own decisions based off Religion’s positive example, than on any pressure or aggression it focuses on getting people to believe in something they have no interest in believing in.

1) Big Bang theory says that all matter in the universe was condensed in a single point before "exploding" outwards. There is no "matter came from nowhere" about it, in fact it states that the matter has always been there.

2) You claim there are no signs of this alleged missing link yet there are several thousand identified transitional forms. The vast majority of animals don't leave fossil remains so it's no surprise that we don't find them but you make it sound like nobody has ever found a transitional form. Then again it also sounds like you're talking about a "missing link" between humans or primates. Have you just chosen to ignore all the other species identified within the Homo genus?

3) Most of your "question" makes it sound like you fear the possibility of death being a complete end of your consciousness. Is that why you cling to such out-dated beliefs?

Answer 3

There is a very strong evidence that life formed on earth after the Universe had existed for billions of years... can't imagine why God took so long to create life after having created the Universe... there is also overwhelming evidence that the Universe is running on auto mode based on some principles without any active intervention of God.... beats me why God would create all this and put it on auto and then go to sleep!!

Do not get me wrong..... I also would feel more secure and comfortable if I could believe in God.... I want to believe in God so that I can take some load off my own head and lean on Him every now and then... my real problem is that I am not ABLE to believe.

"the main ordinary argument i've got heard against the super Bang, is that the situation that consists of the universe had to come back from someplace," beautiful - this is incredibly the comparable question i've got heard approximately god - he had to come back from someplace or be created by ability of a few thing. "it may no longer have in basic terms "exploded" into existence (even however that's no longer even close to to what the super bang says..." Your description does not even come close to to what i've got heard human beings particularly say with reference to the super bang, or clarify why most of the folk i've got considered settle for it are additionally non secular. "Why does including a being to the image make it to any extent further attainable that rely could desire to easily pop into existence the place there grow to be before none?" i'm uncertain I understand your question. it variety of feels common sufficient to envision, however the respond looks astonishingly glaring. The existence of a ultimate being on the time of the super bang could make that thought extra probably with the aid of fact it explains the origins of that primordial atom - god created it. "does not it enhance much extra questions than it solutions" all common solutions try this. "now you will be able to desire to describe who the being is" in case you're a non secular guy or woman, that being is god. "the place it got here from" in case you're a non secular guy or woman, god is eternal and ominpresent. The question of "the place" and "whilst" is moot as pertains to god. "what its resource of ability is" Helium 3. in basic terms kidding. in case you're a non secular guy or woman, god is his very own resource of ability. An all effectual being does not could desire to pay BP each time he fills up. this is, in case you're a non secular guy or woman.

Answer 5

Obviously that a higher power creating everything is the more intelligent choice.

Answer 6

No, a god is logically impossible.
