Why do scientists and atheists believe in the unproven theory of Big Bang but have trouble when theists cherish a universal God?

Question

I do believe in the theory of evolution even though the theory is not provable. It is sane to me. However, the big bang is not. Current expansion in the universe does not mean that all the matter was less than an atom concentrated at one point, which then exploded to create the elements. There is no theory even to back up as to what triggered the explosion of the Big Bang. If time started in the Big Bang, then what was before that? What is this nothingness and the unknown mystery?

I am not saying that all should embrace the christian God and I agree that there is no proof for that as well. I am not saying the creator of the universe is omnipresent or omniscient or even if he/she/they are alive. But there is still a possibility that the universe may have a creator who may or may not be even alive today! It is still a theory with no evidence just like the theory of Big Bang

I see many rants and posts by ignorant atheists who make fun of God/god believers saying those that believe such things are delusional and moronic. If that is the case, scientists and atheists that postulate unprovable assumptions/theories are more or less the same.

Answer 1

There is a test you can do to prove the Big bangs expansion proves a single point of origin well several in fact.



1)

Place some TNT and around it place several items detonate that TNT where do the items go??

Now if you had no gravity to pull them back they would keep going correct?



2)

Draw several dots on a balloon. Inflate that balloon you'll see the dots moving away from each other at the power of your breath inflating that balloon.



3)

Lets take a social view. Put two people who hate each other you end up with an argument and then they distance themselves? I can only give you so many examples before you have to put two and two together yourself.



Religious people, SOME of them have a hard time with understanding that the human species as a whole does not have all the answers to the universe. We don't know a vast amount of it we don't even know a vast amount about our own planet. Look into the LHC humans are already testing their theories on the Big Bang. You could argue where did the original atoms come from to begin with. The more you dig back the harder it becomes where did the energy come from? Where did the laws of physics come from that's where religious people say God did it. That's where scientists keep digging for more answers FYI not a dig religious people have scientists too who contribute loads.



There is nothing wrong with admitting a species who wasn't around until 14 million years after the big bang doesn't know everything that went on. Give credit aren't we doing good enough just knowing of its existence heck having a brain that can conceive of such an idea is amazing. We'll only get to know more as time goes on.



I kind of like to view science as a baby learning to walk. We start to crawl we practice and learn we start to walk we stumble we fall we get it wrong on occasion eventually we will master the walk but there will always be bumps on the road to mastery of running.

Answer 2

Does the Bible’s creation account rule out the possibility that the universe began with the big bang?



The Bible simply says: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”Genesis 1:1



It does not comment on exactly how God created everything. So even if a cosmic explosion produced our universe, that would not contradict what is stated in the Bible.



Rather, Genesis 1:1 would answer the question, Who caused the big bang?



Of course, many scientists believe that the big bang was a spontaneous, undirected event that led to the self-arranging of particles of matter into stars and planets over a period of time.



The Bible does not support that view but states that the formation of the universe was a direct act of God, whether he employed some sort of cosmic explosion or some other method of creation.

Answer 3

Why do you LIE?!



Why so unchristian?



Proved over and over again!



Science explains the big bang was not from nothing but from a singularity that was all the matter and energy in the universe compressed into a single point that then expanded rapidly!



So it was always here!



But why are BAD Christians always claiming the big bang came from nothing? Are they that ignorant? Did they sleep through school or is it that they know the truth but think they can twist it because everyone is gullible?!



Claiming something cannot come from nothing argues not against the big bang but against creationists claims!



Which extremist sect or cult indoctrinated you to believe that God was not clever enough to use the big bang, evolution and science as his tools?



The Pope, Catholic Church, Church of England and mainstream churches all accept the big bang and evolution!



Lord Carey the former Archbishop of Canterbury put it rather well – “Creationism is the fruit of a fundamentalist approach to scripture, ignoring scholarship and critical learning, and confusing different understandings of truth”!



Nice that Christians and atheists can agree and laugh together but sadly at God’s expense!

Answer 4

Atheism is the disbelief in gods. Nothing else. It has nothing to do with science and vice versa.



Science does not deal in proof, proof is for mathematicians. Science deals in evidence and there is very strong evidence for the Big Bang. There is no evidence at all for any of the many thousands of gods.



You say that evolution is not provable. As I said, science does not deal in proof. Evolution, the change in alleles over time, is a fact just as gravity is a fact. It has been observed in the wild and in the laboratory. The Theory of Evolution is the model that explains how evolution works just as the Theory of Gravity is the model that explains how gravity works. There is far more evidence in support of the Theory of Evolution than there is for the Theory of Gravity. If you took the trouble to learn some science you would understand this.

Quit babbling child.



“The more I study science, the more I believe in God.”

-Albert Einstein



“The question of whether there exists a Creator and Ruler of the Universe has been answered in the affirmative by some of the highest intellects that have ever existed.”

-Charles Darwin, founder of the Theory of Evolution



“If you study science deep enough and long enough, it will force you to believe in God.”

-William Kelvin, founder of the Kelvin Scale.



“Little science takes you away from God but more of it takes you to Him.”

-Louis Pasteur, founder of microbiology and immunology.



“The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will turn you into an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you.”

-Werner Heisenberg, founder of Quantum Mechanics.



“Science and Religion are often viewed as separate aspects of our beliefs and understanding. But religion is an attempt to understand the purpose of our universe and science an attempt to understand its nature and characteristics, so the two are necessarily related.”

-Charles Townes, Nobel Prize (Physics).



“Those who say that the study of science makes a man an atheist must be rather silly.”

-Max Born, Nobel prize (Quantum Mechanics).



“I think only an idiot can be an atheist. We must admit that there exists an incomprehensible power or force with limitless foresight and knowledge that started the whole universe going in the first place.”

-Christian Anfinsen, Nobel Prize (Chemistry).



“To me it is unthinkable that a real atheist could be a scientist.”

Robert Andrews Millikan, Nobel Prize (Physics).



“God is a mathematician of a very high order and He used advanced mathematics in constructing the universe.”

-Paul A. M. Dirac, Nobel prize (Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Electrodynamics.)



“Science shows that God exists.”

-Derek Barton, Nobel Prize (Chemistry).



“The ghostly presence of virtual particles defies rational common sense and is nonintuitive for those unacquainted with physics. Religious belief in God, and Christian belief that God became Man around two thousand years ago, may seem strange to common-sense thinking. But when the most elementary physical things behave in this way, we should be prepared to accept that the deepest aspects of our existence go beyond our common-sense intuitions.”

-Tony Hewish, Nobel Prize (Physics).



“A scientific discovery is also a religious discovery. There is no conflict between science and religion. Our knowledge of God is made larger with every discovery we make about the world.”

-Joseph H. Taylor, Jr.,Nobel Prize (Physics).



“The best data we have (concerning the Big Bang) are exactly what I would have predicted, had I nothing to go on but the five books of Moses, the Psalms, the Bible as a whole.”

-Arno Penzias, Nobel Prize (Physics).

Answer 6

1. Evolution is not possible- it contradicts science

2. Big bang is possible and God could be the cause because He said so. In the bible, we know the world is going to end in a big bang and God says He will cause it to.

The universe did not definitely come from a point/ maybe a place/an area.

Answer 7

The Big Bang appears to be God's act of creating the universe. There was no time or space before that. Sounds a lot like Genesis.

For those who don't like the word God, they will call it something else. It makes no difference.

Answer 8

The so-called "Big Bang" is simply a proposed hypothesis. There is not enough evidence to elevate the idea to the status of a scientific theory, unlike biological evolution which is supported by literally millions of pieces of material evidence. What does this have to do with atheists??



Christian biologist

Answer 9

I don't think you realize that Christianity's/Theology's assertion of a "creator" is no more, or less, valid, than science's assertion.



There is no way of anyone knowing, as they would need to have been there at the time to witness whatever did take place, and since no human is billions of years old (except maybe Fireball), there is no literal proof for either.



Science DOES have methods which we use to understand our world, and it seems reasonable to say that everything originated from "something," but there is no reason whatsoever, nay, it would even be ludicrous, to say that there is a "creator," which "created" everything, even after the fact of DISCOVERING that EVERYTHING is comprised of ENERGY, which CANNOT be CREATED or DESTROYED.



So, religion has a lot of work to do in explaining and discovering how, exactly, this "creator" came to be, and how he/she/it "created" everything, unless its followers are simply too lazy, and/or believe that it is "irrelevant," and God is the only explanation they need.



Until religion is on par and up to date with science, we'll continue questioning and trying to figure things out, rather than lazily decree the existence of something that we don't know to exist.

Answer 10

Theists believe their gods came from nothing and created life from the inanimate but if one removes the intellect from that belief they suddenly lose theirs.

Answer 11

We got evidence for the big bag, you got any evidence this "god" exists?

thats why

Answer 12

right? and i dont see a universe created if a grenade goes off

Answer 13

All evidence points to big bang.... can't replicate it in lab (duh). If you want to see "proof" of evolution, look at this video. https://youtu.be/plVk4NVIUh8
