Is it possible that God made the Big Bang?

Question

The Big Bang Theory is the dominant scientific theory about the origin of the universe. According to the big bang, the universe was created sometime between 10 billion and 20 billion years ago from a cosmic explosion that hurled matter and in all directions.

A word used in the Bible to denote…

the chaos mentioned in Gen. 1:2:

Naoys it might be. I got an A on the paper I wrote on it when I was in college. I was lucky my science professor had PHD's in Biology and Divinity

Answer 1

I have put the hypothesis out there that Genesis 1:1-2 was not part of the first day of creation, but rather the 13.7 billion years leading up to that first day. Occasionally someone is willing to listen, but most people are more interested in what they think the Bible says than they are what the Bible says.

Answer 2

From your supplied link,
"In 1927, the Belgian priest Georges Lemaître was the first to propose that the universe began with the explosion of a primeval atom."

Now, G. Lemaitre was a Jesuit, so do you think maybe there was any chance that his cosmological model might have had religious overtones?
Recently the expansionary model of the universe has been increasingly referred to as the Big Bang Theory by NASA. instead of the Big Bang Model like they used to call it. Their explanation page changed this spring from explaining why it was not actually a theory and now only carries that lame paragraph about how it will likely never be tested.

If you actually want to see some astounding parallels take a look at how closely the Egyptian creation myth not only looks like the source of your creation myth, but how its Ocean of Chaos looks like the modern description of quantum uncertainty and fluctuation of the probability wave.

Answer 3

Yes. God made all things. Though I dint know the reality of God, recently He has led me wonderfully.
I've written here how He led me.

Initially I also wondered much about the existence, but now I am sure.
Somethings I use to wonder,
if by mistake, when things got formed, if nose was upside down, then when it rains or we take bath, then water would go inside, but somebody made it that way. So much intelligence is there in each creation.
I understood some more things when I read Genesis 1,
if u see on the first 2 days, God made light, seperated land and water, so that he prepared everything ready for his next creation of vegetation/plants so that they can do the photosynthesis to grow. Then he made sun,moon,stars so that before He made living creatures, they will know the time to sleep and work in the morning, to be periodic. Then he made the birds, animals, so that they can feed on plants (which was his previous creation). Then he made man, so that man can get food, water, shelter - the needs of his life. So well He planned and made (The pyramid of life's dependence is made exactly in each of the day (in 6 days))

Answer 4

Combining definitions w/ things from the bible is a little hypocritical, isnt it? Thats like using textbooks to prove Santa Claus exists. Also, seeing as how the bible was written by some dude a long time ago, and has been changed to try to keep up w/ time, how can anything in there be used as a definitive example for anything? Things they didnt understand were explained the best they could at the time, like the old maps of the flat world, etc. Of course they would write the earth was without form, blah blah blah because they didnt know how it was before them, so in their meager understanding of the world at time, thats how the past was described.

Answer 5

No, it's not really possible. A God is not a proven concept, and the invisibility of this God is VERY VERY hard to explain.

Quantum physics shows that no Creator is needed to generate matter. Equal sub-atomic particles of matter and antimatter can come into existence all by themselves, as long as one of each is formed. These particles may subdivide, especially in the early part of the universe where physical constants were changing. And today, isn't it strange that half our universe is matter but the other half is antimater?

No God needed. If a God does exist, he's a decrepit old man in an Unemployment office with no windows, staring forlornly at cards on the wall for jobs that Nature has already filled...

Answer 6

Yes why not?If humans can think of Big bang theory,write Bible,start so many religions,a 'Big bang by God ' theory would be really interesting.All we need to do now is create or generate data and work backwards to establish this theory.In this world,one can find or persuade many humans to believe in it as they have been believing in all sorts of theories all along.This is also called a process of 'Reverse-Engineering.'

Answer 7

I believe that God works thru scientifc principles. There really arent any miracles. There are just things done we havent discovered the science behind. This is also why I dont think religion and science have anything to fear from each other. There is so little we know about the universe around us and the scientific principles behind them. Just because a miracle can be explained scientifically doesnt mean it couldnt have been done by God. Just because something can be explained scientifically doesnt mean there cant be a God.

Answer 8

Yawn! Old as the hills this one. As soon as science proves something that is not in their beloved Bible, Christians look for other meaning and conveniently plop their God in the gaps as yet unfilled. It's known as 'God of the Gaps'.

Read a science book instead of that book of man-made superstitious nonsense.

Answer 9

Reading Genesis it says God spoke and the earth was, I would say it made a pretty big noise. But the evolutionist are not thinking along those lines, they want any other explanation of existence other than God the creator.

Answer 10

DUDE! Holy crapnuts, is this like, THE EXACT SAME THEORY that I tried to propose to the Christian church when I was 12??!? I think it just might be...to bad everyones to busy fighting over how to believe in the same thing.....sorry God, I try.
