Why is it that people will ask why you believe in god when they believe in the big bang? where did the gases come from in the first places?
I'm not christian or anything, (reincarnation, don't believe in satan, believe in god...) but my 7th grade science teacher was a sunday school teacher, and she taught us about the big bang. That kind of got me thinking.

the big bang... Boom! everything is now were there was once nothing.
God... let it be so!
don't think too much, it was a long time ago and there is no way to prove which is right.
people don't care what others realy think they just like to know why they think the way they do and try to convert others to their line of thinking.
more or less, give everyone all the different options and let them decide for themselves!

The big bang is just a good theory that says our universe started as a infinitely tiny point that had infinite density. Using this as start and making a model we can use math to arrive at a universe that we see today. That is why I say that it is a good theory. The problem with the theory is the math we use now breaks down when applied to the singularity described above. As far as science is concerned they want to figure out a way to make all forces of nature into a single theory of everything and they are hoping that when they do it will cover the dominating force in a singularity(gravity) and so science is is not concerned at present with how the singularity came to exist but some hope if we can find a theory of everything then it will give us a clue into how the big bang started. So what I am really saying here is that the big bang is really a theory of what happened right after the start of the universe and not a theory of how the universe started.
Or at least that's what I get out of it.

Well she's the best kind of teacher that got you thinking. Those kinds of questions have bothered man for many years. They recognized that there needed to be a cause to have an effect. Most believers say God caused the big bang to happen. Others disagree but cannot say what caused the big bang in the first place that allowed our universe to be what it is today. If man does not know who or what caused the big bang, then who does? I believe when God spoke the universe into existence, that best describes the Big Bang.

If you are saying you beeive in God then you MUST beleive in Satan for he was once second in command to God. To answer your question I will say this. There must have been some type of intelligent intervention by some one at some time in the history of the earth. For example: remeber the three types of fossill horses in your science book/ the little horse epphisuss(spelling may not be correct) and then the next bigger horse and so on until you have a modern horse? The scientist can find fossils of these horses but no fossils of the horses that mutated from smaller to larger. Just as we now can do genetic manipulation I beleive that God came and altered plants and animals to suit the progression He had in plan. Consider that we are thinking of altering the course of an asteriod if one should come towards earth. Don't you think that is what God did we he decided to work on mammmls and killed off the dinosuars? If evelution were totally true, why so many different animals, don't you think that zebras can eat grass as good as wilderbeast? There may be many Gods in many different places in the universe. I think that our God is in charge of our prt of the universe, He is just a being who, over billions of years became our God. There is probably a God in the next galaxy also. That one is probably related to ours, because when we die we live forever, according to the Bible just like God does. And remeber Satan wanted to fight God so if true there must be some form of life beyond our own exsitence.

There is much more evidence of the big bang than any supernatural force such as a god.
Read it up:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_bang
As to where the gases came from - we still do not know. However adding a supernatural answer gives nothing because I would have to ask -- 'and where did that god come from...'

no one claims to know everything about the universe (except god anyway) but there is much evidence for the big bang theory, hence it being a theory and all. such as scientist finding remnants of the explosion, and the universe constantly expanding etc. there is no evidence of god however. and im not trying to be condescending just trying to explain why someone might ask that question.

Why can't one believe in both? Science and theology needn't be mutually exclusive. I'm comfortable with believing in both God and the big bang. The act of creation in Genesis is loosely descriptive of the big bang.

Believe no one and nothing.
Listen to everybody and everything and accept anything only if you know with certainty that it is so - when you KNOW that you know it is so, not until then. And you don't have to be concerned about proving it to others at all, it will be useless, for the proof is inside you - it will be like trying to 'prove' to some one that your tooth aches.

I feel that first there was nothing, and the creator created from nothing, i.e., planted the seeds of creation and from those seeds creation evolved. Somebody or some entity has to exist, the universe is too complex to simply be.

Its hard to say, but where did "god" get it from? I doubt we will ever find an answer to where it all came from but since your in the philosophy section....Does it all even exist?
