I do not understand why the Big Bang theory is easier to understand then Creation.?

Question

Creation says all things came from nothing, But what went Bang to creat such things like animals or me.

Answer 1

It's not easier to understand, in fact when you get down to the details it's far more complicated. The reason it's more widely accepted is because we have evidence that the big bang occurred.

Answer 2

what went "bang" was the most infinately tiny particles, causing an explosion of energy...like when an atom is split all the energy it releases? ya...so all that energy was the catalyst for existance. where did those original particles come from? who knows...maybe the ending of another universe? that is still very unclear...and probably will be for a while.

to me...a not so religious person, i look at the big bang and the creation theory as one in the same....the big bang theory simply can provide somewhat of an explanation whereas the creation theory has nothing to show to back it up

both agree that everything came from nothing, and that SOMETHING within that nothing provided existence somehow...so why are they viewed as different? oh thats right...because the big bang leaves out the halo'd hippy that we all know and love! :)

dont get me wrong i believe in god...but i also strongly believe in self faith. i like answers, not relying on what someone else has to say to form my beliefs

Answer 3

In part, it's because scientific theory is not just someone's best guess or wishful thinking. Scientific theory demands a high level of education over a broad range of solid, provable discliplines, and a respectable amount of hard work. Science is not easy. On top of that, many people mistakenly believe that because scientific theories are continually subject to review and often revised, this means scientific theory is no better than an average person's best guess.

When a scientific theory is revised, it does not mean the previous knowledge about the theory was wrong, it means it was incomplete.

Now contrast that with Creationism. Creationism is nothing but wishful thinking. There is no backing other than a tiny collection from a vast store of folklore, fable and "witness", which collection is called a "Bible". You will notice that there is no questioning allowed regarding this collection of texts, tales and fables, most of which are incomplete. There is never a question among believers as to whether all of this could be in error or whether it could be incomplete or even whether some of this collection of bits and pieces of tales and stories *should* be questioned. There is no suggestion allowed that some of this material does not apply in everyday life or that some parts of it contradict other parts. Acceptance is denial, whereas in science skepticism is demanded.

In the final analysis, science is hard work while Creationism merely requires thoughtless acceptance.

Answer 4

You seem to think there's a difference. The Big Bang *is* Creation. It's just that Creation is religion, which attempts to answer "why" and Big Bang is science, which attempts to answer "how".

You should note that Fred Hoyle, the astronomer who coined the term "Big Bang", objected to the Big Bang theory because he was an atheist. If there was a Big Bang, that implied that there was a creation, which implies the existance of God. Sir Fred preferred a steady state universe.

Answer 5

The big bang theory is based on evidence still lingering in the universe. It is probably not the final word since that's how science works. Theories are enhanced when new information is discovered.

Creation is based on beliefs with no evidence to back it up. It's easy to "understand" creationism. You just accept what some religious zealot tells you and accept that somehow this creator was always there with no explanation needed of where it came from.

Answer 6

The Big Bang has scientific evidence to support it, while creation myths have none at all. Neither idea is really so easy to understand, but people who accept creation myths do not really understand the full implications of them. When one says a god did something, that only means he doesn't know but wants to pretend he does.

Answer 7

It doesn't matter what you believe. I think if you need to take a test and pass an exam for a good grade just have an open mind to all possibilities and study what material you need to study, then, Ace the test. I think it is dumb when people try to get out of studying for a test, protest, then, make a big deal over the controversy. I believe in God and creation and I believe in fact too. There is so much science in the Bible you just have to know how to interpret it. Put it this way, 95% percent of the geniuses in history and now Believe in God, what does that say to you?

Answer 8

It's not easier to understand. The reason why the theory of "creation" was made was because it's an easy way out to explain something unexplainable.

Answer 9

Simply because just like any other stories, we most people believe in easier and faster things just like theories.

Most of us like fantasies, fiction stories, and other remarkable unbelievable stories that we ourselves have not seen. We believe in to things that are fast to satisfy our needs, that's why most of us get either scammed or spammed.

While, Creation deals in with faith. It is more than emotion and better than intelligence. It comes from God and must come from your heart.

Without such, it will simply be a fantasy, a theory... a theory is said to be always "un-proven" that's why until now it is still a theory.

For atheists, God may seem to be a theory that's why their population cannot exceed the believers. Creation and God cannot be theories, if it is, then our birth and the beginning of life would be futile as theories.

Answer 10

Because the Big Bang theory has some founding in scientific fact (and a lot of conjecture). Whereas creationism relies on blind faith - and some people (myself included) find that difficult.

The biggest problem I have with creationism (and the big bang) is who created God, and who put the matter in the universe for it all to collapse in on itself and cause the big bang. Neither really ring true....
