“These are atheist scientists trying to prove that the universe is godless.”
I’m a scientist and I know scientists, all of the scientists that I know are not atheist in any sense of the word. Investigating God’s work is very enlightening and brings us closer to Him.
To forbid basic research into the universe out of fear that it may contradict our current understanding shows lack of faith in God and his works.
God gave many human beings an insatiable curiosity about the nature of His creation. How those of us who are so inclined choose to study that creation is a matter of personal choice. I happen to be a life scientist—meaning that the theory of evolution informs all of my research.
There is no need to feel threatened by those of us who are inspired to study and understand God’s work.
I forget, is the passage on p-n junctions in Leviticus or Corinthians?
:)
Really? Tell me...how long was the first day? The second day? Earth was created on the third day. So was the second day 24 hours? Could it have been 25 hours long? Or 30? Or 3 million hours? Or 15 million years?
Answer that one and you'll have a better grasp on what you see when you look skyward.
Genesis and the Big Bang: The Discovery Of Harmony Between Modern Science And The Bible
Atheists:
Prior natural conditions led to the creation of the universe.
God believers:
God created the prior conditions that led to the creation of the universe.
At this point in time it's largely a matter of faith. It depends on whether or not you believe the Biblical account. As pointed out by Hulka in post #20.......
When was the big bang discredited?
That post needs a big BIG bang !
Discredited??? By whom?? The people who want the "Big Bang" discredited are atheists who want to deny the creation, of which said "Big Bang" is one of the greatest proofs.
What about "Let there be light" is hard to understand?
“LET”S SEE SOME PROOF!”
OK! Let’s use telescopes and microwave detectors and radiotelescopes to see what there is to see, then we’ll analyze the data and make sense out of it!
Scientists see Creation events as testable hypotheses- so if there were a Big Bang (no universe, POP, universe) then we might expect to see [some data] as a result, is it there?
I agree, with a caveat.
In verse 1 Genesis, IMO, describes the Big Bang.
In verse 3 ("let there be light"), the description of the preparation of the Earth for occupancy by Man begins.
Thus, IMO, the Big Bang probably occurred long before the Days of Creation.
YMMV
there....fixed it...
Your guess is as good as mine. But the idea of these particles spontaneously appearing out of nowhere is often used as a possible explanation for how the universe began. ie, it just spontaneously arose out of complete nothingness. My hunch is there are some things we simply can’t ever know.
Consternation aside, the “twisting patterns in the polarization of the cosmic microwave background” exists. God made us curious, why not study it?
AFAIK, the Big Bang and Genesis line up nicely.
This guy sounds like godgutsandguns (if I remember correctly).
Hmmm....
Just as on a spiritual level we’re to humbly accept reproof for our failings, in the physical realm if a theory that can survive *proper* scientific scrutiny is proposed “in good faith” it shouldn’t just be dismissed out-of-hand.
That certain “scientists” blatantly begin with an agenda (i.e. a faith-based approach) doesn’t necessarily mean we should throw out the BB with the bath water...
He did not tell us how he did it. That is a lie.
LOL....Fixed
Yep amazingly with faith I can read it now
Thanks for posting. Interesting article. The Big Bang is consistent with biblical teachings. Let there be Light and there one heck of a big bang of light. So I am not sure why your panties are in a wad.
What part of this do you find to be so totally unbelievable?(dare I ask)
