The Big Bang Theory: A Review

Many people believe in that a Big Bang gave rise to the Universe. Others believe that a supernatural Creator designed it. Which theory is true? Let's review the facts:
  • The Universe is very fine-tuned
  • There is order in the Universe
  • There is space, matter, time, energy, etc.
Now which theory best explains what we have here?

Big Bang theory
  • Two particles appear out of nowhere, collide, and cause a massive explosion
  • The explosion hurls matter across space
  • Gravity pulls matter together into round lumps; planets, moons and stars form, including planet Earth
Creation model
  • "God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1)
  • God made a fine-tuned Universe
  • God caused order
  • God made space, matter, time, energy, etc.
If one were rational, s/he would say, "The creation model makes more sense." Why? Because why and how would an explosion cause order? Where did those particles originate? How did it create time, energy, space, etc? It would male more sense to believe that an intelligent Designer created the Universe.

But how do we know that it was the Judeo-Christian God that created the Universe? For one thing, the Bible clearly states that "God [Himself] created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1). Also, all the other gods of other religions are not true gods, but idols (more on this tomorrow). Thirdly, all evidence points to original good design by a good God.

Tune in tomorrow for my next blog!

  1. 1-the creation model does not explain where god came from. Thus, making no more sense than "2 particles appearing out of no where".
    2-we do actually observe particles appearing out of no where and disappearing into no where. No such observation made when it comes to the biblical god or any other god.
    2-circular logic is a logical fallacy "the binle is right because it says so" no claim of truthfulness can be affirmed this way.
    3-the universe is fine tuned to propel its physical laws, not to preserve life. We live on an extremely fragile planet/echo, 7 miles is what separates us from the vacume of space amd 98% of all organisms ever existed have went extinct at some point. A 6 mile radius meteorite or an other super volcano will drive us to extinction.
    4-the bible does not contain any scientific value and has no proof for its claims, just like any other mythical book. One of its scientific errors is deeming the universe 6-10k yrs old. Its not.

    1. 1) God created time, therefore, He is outside of time, and is therefore eternal.
      2) Can you please show me when that was observable?
      3) "The universe is fine tuned to propel its physical laws, not to preserve life." Why are we still alive, then?
      4) There's that image I sent to you.
