Of course, as with all accepted THEORIES, we will have to take some things on faith.

We can begin with a theory of actions versus consequences:

Action: Nothing exists
Consequence 1: An empty void appears.
Consequence 1a: Within the empty void a universe spontaneously generates and magically becomes filled with matter that spawns stars, planets, and organic life

Oops, I'm sorry, this is the Big Bang theory.

Dreamstuff Entity (below) Cosmic Microwave Background is a measured level of noise. I do not dispute technology as I work with it daily (Radar, microwave, optics, so forth) This does not explain the something from nothing theory. If the Big Bang occured as advertised, my position is this was God's avenue used to create the universe.

One of the funny things about cosmology is that the theories and mathematics are so esoteric and convoluted that really very few people genuinely understand them. They might offer some layman's summaries for Nova, but the supporting evidence is so far over the head of the average (or even fairly bright, well-educatd) person, that you can't really evaluate the merits.

So, yes, a lot of supporters of 'science' over 'religion' are taking it as much on faith as the faithful.

Personally, I don't see a need for an alternate non-creationist theory to simply decline to take creationism on faith. Where the world came from isn't a terribly important question, IMHO. Why it's a place of unremitting horror and evil might be a more cogent one. And, the answer that it's because it was created by an omnipotent, omnicient, omnipresent God of Love is less than compelling. While the answer that it's the product of impersonal laws of physics and radom chance at least doesn't leave you shaking your fist at the sky.

Actually big bang says nothing about what happened before the big bang singularity. We can't know that; because can't observe it. Science is basically the things we can measure and observe and Big Bang theory starts at the point where extremely hot and dense ball of energy/particles exploded. Before that point Big Bang fails.

Matter can not be created or destroyed! How did you come up with nothing exists and then we have our universe?

I would recommend reading A Brief History of Time by Hawking. It is a really good book .
Since our galaxy and our planet earth was not created for millions of years after the big bang, I am sure life was not created then. Not to mention such hot temps would not have been able to sustain life.

Lol. Found it funny so take a star. They like saying the universe did not come from nothing. It came from a singularity. Well where did that come from? Or the thing that that thing came from. In the end there must be a beginning and there must be a creator. To say otherwise is dishonest. That is why so many scientists hate the big bang theory. It implies a creator.

The process that brought the universe about was most likely contingent on other forces-events that in turn were also brought about by natural forces..ad infinitum....The model u use is poorly worded and over simplified and your take on theories is incorrect..This all points to you being religous and getting your science from the pulpit..You want creation as found in the bible and you won't accept anything else..

Your lack of understanding of the very BASICS of science speaks VOLUMES of quality of your education.

The Big Bang Theory does NOT in ANY WAY attempt to explain the origin of the bang. It ONLY explains WHY every atom in the universe (even space itself) is moving AWAY from a central location. If you would study science, instead of trying to disprove something you don't understand, you would realize why your position is so irrational.

If you want to twist math, a great place to start would be the creationist William Dembski. He does a great job of mangling information theory. Check him out. He's such a great guy he's gone from heading a department at Baylor into a spiral down to a quonset hut bible college in Dallas.

All beliefs of how the world came into being are just that: beliefs. No one can prove any of them because no one was there.

So, an intelligent mind, not even neccessarily a religious one would have to ask, "Which one makes most sense?", and would have to conclude creationism. Something cannot be made out of nothing. It is impossible. There must have been someone who started it.

That's not the Big Bang theory. It doesn't start with "Nothing exists." It starts with a singularity made of energy that exists as a point.

No scientist has suggested anything close to what you have described and called it Big Bang theory. Seriously, this is a childish straw man. Why embarrass yourself like this?!

I like this one better:
Once upon a time there was a gOD. So he magic made everything in 6 days. Then on the 7th day , he said to himself, "I am sooooo tired. I believe I'll take a break."
Then Adam and Eve got carried away and did it right in front of him. Do I have to go on!!!!

LOL

Edit:
I can't recall.
However, I might have! Can you give some details? That might refresh my memory.
