I have been reading the post on evolution and someone brought up the Big Bang theory. I have been born again for 20+ years. I believe that God can use whatever method He chooses to create the world. Why could He NOT have chosen the "Big Bang" to do so? I am interested in everyones reply. God bless and take care.

My opinion is this:

The big bang theory is based on the fact that the light that we see from stars experience a "red shift" in the visual spectrum. When this was first discovered, it was immediately assumed that this shifting in the spectrum is caused by the sources of light, the stars, moving further away from us, hence the universe is in an expanding state. The entire big bang theory in a nutshell is based upon this one assumption because it was theorized that if the universe is expanding, against its own gravitational forces, then some event caused this expansion.

The only problem with this is that we are assuming that the red shift is caused by expansion. If the speed of light is a variable and is slowing down, I question if this also could not be causing the red shift in the visual spectrum.

IMHO, there is no way for us to know how the universe was formed or how old it truly is simply because we do not have enough data to form an intelligent hypothesis.

Even the age of the Earth is impossible to predict simply because there are too many things that we assume to be constants that we later find out to be variables such as with Carbon dating, etc.

Hello JesusIS... :t2:

The answer is in Genesis.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth is the focus of the entire fist chapter of Genesis.

The sun, the stars, the moon..were not created at the same time as the heavens and the earth. So all you have is this big empty universe and a blob called earth.

Then God started working the earth into what it is.

Then He created the rest of the stars

The 'big bang' says that all of this happened in one giant explosion in chaos...with the earth being made long after the first stars.

Day 4

Gen 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:

Gen 1:15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

Gen 1:16 And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

Gen 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth,

Gen 1:18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

Gen 1:19 And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.

I understand and agree with this, but, God likes to work miracles in the natural. He has done this throughout the Bible, hence, throughout time itself. Science is proving the existance of God everyday, but, attributing these things to chaos. I say nothing is done in chaos and that science and God work hand in hand. God created science. What some scientists are saying proves God does not exist, in fact, proves He DOES. The "Big Bang" theory could absolutely be correct. This could be the way in which God chose to create the heavens and the earth. Yes, the "Big Bang" happened all at once but the DEVELOPMENT of the stars, seasons, planets, sun, moon, etc. did not. I feel God chose the explosion to create His pallet and then developed them, step by step, just as the Bible says. I feel this is both Biblically and scientifically sound. I think scientists and we as Christians should realize that the Lord does like to work His miracles in the natural (not always, but alot of the time) and that it doesnt have to be that one is right and the other is wrong. they just happen to be the same thing except scientists are attributing it to the wrong thing. I hope I have done a better job at explaining my stance. :t2: God bless and take care.

The Big Bang theory does not contradict creation, methinks. Isn't God capable of something like this?

Yes he is capable, God can do whatever He wants, but I don't see how anyone can conclude that. When I read Genesis 1 it clearly spells out in obsessive detail that God spoke creation into existence in a period of 6 literal days. It reiterates that "the evening and the morning was the second day", third day, and so forth. Therefore I do not see any way possible that the universe could have formed in the manner in which the big bang theory portrays it.

Like I said in another thread, by the theory of evolution's own admission, man has only had 1.3% of the total time of Earth's existence to observe scientifically and form a hypothesis. 260 million years of man/4.6 billions years of earth's existence = 1.3%. Not much time to come up with any intelligent wild guesses I think, much less a good theory.

Personally, I choose to accept the first chapter of the first book of God's Word over a 1.3% observation rate. Everyone is entitled to their opinion though and its always good to ask questions and theorize things.

I absolutely agree with Genesis! 100%! :rofl: im just saying that God COULD have used the big bang to get it all started. WE cant understand how He could have done it, but WE dont have to. We have finite minds, how can we understand the infinate mind in all its aspects? The Bible states that there are things that we will not understand until we go to be with God. Im just saying that God COULD have used the big bang to CREATE the heavens and the earth and its both scientifically and Biblically sound. That it could be that scientists are proving everyday that God exists and they just dont realize it. :t2:

Actually, man has been around for a lot shorter a timeframe than that. The species homo-sapien has probably only been in existence in a recognisable form for the last few hundred thousand years. No idea where you got the 260 million years from, it's out by about a thousand times (3 orders of magnitude). What that means is that, if you take the history of the world on a 12 hour clock, humans arrive on the scene at 2.5 seconds to 12.

However, that's plenty of time to come up with good theories, and gather good evidence. In fact, a fraction of that time is enough, as we see with the development of the theory of gravity from newton to einstein to hawkings in only 350 years, or the theory of electromagnetics in 250 years, or the theory of evolution in 150 years. In fact, 300,000 years is about 15 - 20 thousand generations of people, that's a lot of thought and data gathering and testing time.

Now, another argument would be - if humans have been around for 2.5 seconds out of the 12 hours of the world, then how can we know what's happened for the other 11 hours 59 minutes and 57.5 seconds? Fortunately for us, the past leaves clues in the present - like rocks, and fossils, and strata, and isotopes, and chemicals, and even light from distant stars. That way we can see back in time and tell, in some detail, what's been happening for those 11 hours and 59 minutes we missed.

Yes...we know that gravity exists since objects fall to the ground through direct observation, we know that a gravity well is caused by the warping of space around an object of significant mass (like a dimple in the water around an object floating on the water) and hence orbital paths through mathmatical formulas and observations...that gravity effects time as it does everything else in the universe....and magnetic fields are geneterated from polarized iron naturally and various other materials with the help of some outside influences, again through direct observation and mathmatical formulas.

What we do not understand about these things, is where they come from to begin with, just as with the strong force that binds quantum particles (quarks, leptons, etc) together that should be flying apart.

There is much we do not understand about the basic forces and particles that make up the universe. We thought we understood it all with protons, neutrons and electrons, but once we dug deeper than those particles, we found an entirely different can of worms to go through in understanding the nature of the universe.

The light from stars that are 13 billion light years away (the new galaxy recently discovered), how do we know that the light from those stars is 13 billion years old? Because of C? Yet it's possible that the speed of light is a variable, in fact we know it is because it can be slowed down by gravity and even reverse direction near an event horizon. At the time of creation, light may have travelled much faster as there would have been a higher energy to matter ratio and the grand mass of the universe would have been much less, assuming for a moment that the big bang happend...either trillions, billions or thousands of years ago. So the light from those stars may only be 10,000 years old theoretically given the above possible scenario. We are not even sure what kind of effect dark matter has on light, or a good explanation of what dark matter is for that matter. Only that the universe is greater the the sum of its parts.

Fossils can only take us back so far, and again, there are assumptions into what we can trust to be constants in determining the age of those fossils. The same is true of any chemical reaction that spans a significant length of time. The greater time involved in a reaction, the higher probability of additional variables effecting that reaction.

We, being man, have more questions than we have answers about the creation of the universe.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
