Do some people actually believe that believers in the big bang think that the universe started with it?

Question

So, I have heard quite a few people on here who say that atheists think that the universe came from nowhere when the big bang happened.

When the theory actually says that the universe contracted then expanded.

Does anybody here actually think that we believe the universe started with the big bang?

Answer 1

Sadly, there are actually ATHEISTS who have said that on here too.  Scary, huh?  But don't worry.  Most Christians with a high school diploma know what you're talking about, as do Atheists.

Answer 2

another version of the same sort of question..  

Answer 3

I am sure you will find that NO 'thinking person' believes any such thing.

It is only godsters who continually suggest something came from nothing and forget to suggest it is THEY who say it about their particular breed of invisible sky critter *poofing* everything into existence.

It must suck to be them; poor them.

Answer 4

String theory says that "the" universe is not unique in that every time two branes colide a universe is created and there 8 dimensions. Cristianity simply tried to explain what maths had not at the time. Jesus is a fictional character

Answer 5

If there was a big bang GOD said BANG!

Answer 6

God said bang and it happened!!! (God's time is way different from our own)

Answer 7

Sadly there are those that think that. Even worse are the ones that think the Big Bang was an explosion of nothing.  

Answer 8

Well it had to start sometime!  Eternal matter and energy are contrary to the most basic tenets of science.

Answer 9

Honestly , I have no ******* clue. I'm an atheist but that doesn't mean I have to pretend that I know all the answers. I get that you're not a thumper and I'm sorry if I sound hostile. It's not you.

Answer 10

It's an iteresting theory as are all of the beggining of the universe, I personally don't care, because we're here and that's all that matters. I'm spiritul, not athiest, not religious.

Answer 11

I'm a firm believer in the Laws of Conservation. Everything that exists never started, it just WAS.

Answer 12

Nobody, atheists or christians, can answer how the first of anything started and I think most everyone understands that.

Thinking about concepts of infinity hurts my brain!

Answer 13

So what happened a trillionth of a second before that?

Or a month?

Answer 14

Well, I'm neither Christian nor very religious,  but I do wonder how the first living organism in this universe came into existence!!

Drives me nuts!

Answer 15

The funny thing is, science has to be repeatable and sustainable to be called science. Read the laws of thermodynamics. The Big Bang theory contradicts EVERY one of them! Hmmm....

Answer 16

I'm not a cosmologist, but my understanding is that the current thinking -- totally speculative -- is that the universe literally begins at the Big Bang. The universe as we know it is a tiny bubble of interference between two branes that usually sit next to one another, separated by the space less than the diameter of a proton, and then one touched the other, and the Big Bang resulted. When that interference ends, so does our entire plane of existence.

They are trying to get back to the Big Bang itself, and they feel like they have gotten tantalizingly close, but what actually happened then is almost one hundred per cent speculation, based on lots of higher physics and a lot of guesswork.

The Universe seems, based on the latest findings, to be tearing itself apart, and eventually, the very atomic particles will be torn apart. Any life that existed will be gone long before the formal final bringing down of the curtain.

Answer 17

beyond that point, i dont understand why religious people can't just accept the fact that science is an evolving (nice word choice huh?) discipline. We have big bang now and it works for now, but it was never the end goal. Science was built for adaptation when new truths become evident and technology makes them readily available to witness. It's like F=MA... completely wrong on some scales, but a wonderful approximation on others. The big bang works; it does its job to explain how the universe got this point. When we discover more, we will refine the theory.  

Answer 18

ok, what is your point?

Answer 19

There was a big bang!

God created the bang.

End of story

Answer 20

I don't think they care enough about truth to even get that far.

Answer 21

The universe cycles

Everything explodes out wards, reaches a maximum size

contracts in ward

smashes together into a singularity

and explodes back out ward

We can't all believe a Genie made the universe
