The Big Bang

[Jazzy]

If the big bang created the universe what created the big bang?

 

[Fritz Kobus]

Right, an impossibility. God created the universe. In some ways, the evolutionist may be describing God's creative action the best they can from their godless perspective. How God created the universe may well have left evidence that later would be interpreted by the godless as a big bang.

Several sources are saying the Webb telescope is proving the Big Bang to be false. But others of note strongly disagree.

 

[1689Dave]

Peter describes a big bang at the end of the world.

“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” 2 Peter 3:10 (KJV 1900)

“Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?” 2 Peter 3:12 (KJV 1900)

Does Big Bang = Voice of God? BTW, I'm a Young Earth Creationist

"The Big Bang" is a viewpoint that embraces that our reality (essentially physics - and all that entails) seems to have a beginning point in space and time (indeed, space and time being an aspect of physics). Our reality had a starting point.

"WHAT" may have existed "BEFORE" that (both issues being irrelevant since our reality was not before that and remember there is no time before time existed) is simply unknown and probably unknowable since we can only know OUR reality, we have no clue what other realities MAY have existed at that time or before that time or even in our time. Some theoretical physicists hold that we live in a multiverse, with perhaps hundreds, thousands, millions, billions, trillions of other realities all co-existing but all unaware of each other since each has its own reality and only exists in that.

Physicist reject that because we don't (and probably can't) know what Reality or Realities existed does not mean ERGO God did it. That would be giving an answer that simply has no evidence in physics (indeed, theists hold that God is OUTSIDE physics). The question is unanswered and likely unanswerable for scientists. Theists may hold that God did it - and no physicists would hold that's impossible, only that physics doesn't prove that.

On a forum like this it's hardly surprising most people will come up with some variation of "God did it".

As Josiah said it's the sort of thing that can't be conclusively proven or disproven one way or the other. Essentially we have to figure that if there's an identifiable time that everything began, either something existed outside of time that started the process, or something happened to start the process.

If you believe that something existed outside of time the next question is what that something is. On a forum like this the chances are most people will say it's the God of the Bible.
