My biggest problems with the Big Bang Theory is what caused it to happen and why. There had to be a catalyst where there was no matter why at that particular moment in time when there was no time.
Of course, religion provides an answer where man doesn’t even ask the question.
We can create a guess when there is no answer. We can then compare the guess to experiment or experience. The Big Bang Theory guesses how the universe was created.
It is not a guess that there is a universe but its creation is a guess. Scientist tell us, with a great deal of certainty, the exact state of the universe a few parts of a microsecond after the Big Bang but nothing about the state of the universe a few parts of a microsecond before the Big Bang.
This is where religious or spiritual belief comes in. My belief in an infinite God is also a guess or theory that I accept on faith. Content with my belief I have no difficulty accepting that an infinite God can create a billion year old rock in one microsecond. I can’t prove I’m right and no one has proved me wrong.
No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong. Albert Einstein
The difference is that many people are involved in proving or disproving events that I am perfectly content to accept on faith, God and the Big Bang.
