God and the Big Bang

There are, in the Internet, several websites that debate the issue of creation according to the Bible versus the theory of evolution (which includes the Big Bang). I don't know, but it seems to me that if you look at how the Big Bang is supposed to work, it supports the notion that there is God.

The Big Bang Theory

Of course, when you come down to it, there is no absolute proof of God. Actually, there is no absolute proof of anything - for example, the existence of electrons cannot be proven, even though we can experience electric shocks and so on (electricity is the movement of electrons, remember?).

Consider the Big Bang, then. We do not know really what exists before the Big Bang. Was there something that can be banged, as it were? Or did the Big Bang create things (i.e. energy was converted into mass)? Or was it simply a pendulum thing - energy to mass and then mass to energy - from the Big Bang to the Big Black Hole and then back again. For the sake of argument then, let's ignore the question of what existed before the Big Bang and start just with the Big Bang. Just keep to what science is reasonably accepting as likely. The thing is, everything we have today, life on earth, the universe, all the laws of nature, etc. all unravelled from the Big Bang. God just made the Big Bang and that was it. The universe was created, the conditions evolved to create earth and then, over time, life and then you and I. God made the Big Bang and then sat back and everything else was made from that. You try it. Go bang something up and see if anything of any sense, value or even interest results.

What interests me is not that evolution disputes the theory of creationism but that the Bible had the sequence of events right - from nothing to day and night to the plants, then the fishes, then the birds, then animals and then man. In this, the Bible and the theory of evolution is in line. Note that not all theories of human evolution are in line with science - some said we were from a turtle, or some god/goddess vomitted us out, and what not. Only the Bible said that God made the earth and in this particular order.

Don't you think this is an incredible thing to do for a story that is over 5000 years old?

I look forward to the various discoveries of science that disprove (or prove) the Bible. It will help us know what to believe and what not to believe. It will also help us to understand how to read the Bible. Why are we afraid of the truth? If our God is the God of truth, then surely whatever truth we discover, we shall see the work of God in it. Let us be honest before God - that which we don't understand, let us confess our ignorance. It is far better than to attest to things we cannot possibly know.
