Big bang or God?

Question

Tell me what you beleve...That god made the world...Or the big bang did.

Answer 1

Neither.  I don't believe in a "who" willed or designed the world into existence, nor do I believe the (IMO weak) scientific theory of a beginning of time. There is no thing that is before the universe, before time. Not a banging thing, not a creating thing, no thing at all - by definition. No thing before = no beginning. I find no reason to invent things to believe in, reasons and first causes, to fill that nothing. I think that no thing is actually crucial, to creation in an ongoing sense. Sorry if that's confusing...

Answer 2

Too many mistakes in the Bible for it to be the word of any God. No one has ever been killed because they didn't believe in science. I'll take the big bang.

Answer 3

Big bang is the best explanation we have so far. The God hypothesis became obsolete when people started to think for themselves.

Answer 4

God made the Big Bang.

Answer 5

god bangs big.

Answer 6

Neither, and to my perspective, there are no answers in either religion or science.  Just while watching the History Channel's "Universe" I happened to understand just how little we understand the universe, because the vast majority of it consisted of theory without hard evidence.  Calculations, yes, which is better than nothing, but really I found it to contain a great amount of guesses.

Religion doesn't answer a d**n thing.  It just pretty much sums things up by saying that God created it and it was there.  It seems but a cold answer to satisfy those  who have far too little curiosity to question it or discover it for themselves.  Sometimes the pursuit of science is to complete the question: if God is real and he did it, could I too if I knew enough about the laws of the universe itself?  Or "If I knew more about the universe I live in, what could I build or create?"  After all, technology or medical science would never have progressed as far as it has if we were all satisfied that God created it and we shouldn't do anything to change it.  

Still, I digress.  It is to my view that no one has the real answer and our limited guesswork has done little to get us closer as to what really happened.  In Big Bang Theory, we can calculate the universe up to the point where all was one thing compressed into a small singularity and then there is a big X for "something happened" and BOOM!

Yet, if someone out there did hold the correct answer, do you think it would be openly accepted?  People believe what they want to believe after all.  I mean, (referring to a religious reference) look what we did to Jesus Christ when he said he had all the answers (regardless as to how it is justified by human sacrifice -- he HAD to die for us to be "saved")!  I wouldn't want to be crucified just because I knew what was actually true and the ignorant masses still wanted to believe what they wanted to believe....

Answer 7

The BB in no way rules out a BB'er.

Similarly, the "seven days" in the Bible may indicate a template-guided biological evolution, preparing bodies for post-Adamic souls.
