Is it possible, that the big bang theory is correct, but God made it happen?
Personally, I think the creation written in the Bible is oversimpified, so that the people of the time could understand it. Could the big bang theory just be the way God did it?

Possibly - There has to be some middle ground between evolution, and creationism. I hate how you stereotypically have to be on one side, or the other. People should feel free to analyze the theory of evolution,and still consider themselves good Christians. Just as scientists should consider creationism, and still be good scientists.

The people of the time could understand it? I don't know what that means, because I think that they needed to say something other than "because God made everything"...that notion had probably already been around for a while. The written Bible story is just that: a story that was passed down by word of mouth for eons before it was written down. This story was told more in a manner for people to remember it and make it interesting, not to over simplify it.
The story of creation is just a story, so yes, your theory is correct. It could possibly be that God made the big bang happen. In fact, the events leading up through out the story all go along with science, but the two differ on how the story is told.

The Big Bang Theory refers to the findings of the microwave background radiation discovered by scientists at Bell Laboratories which Einsteins General Theory of Relativity when carried to its logical conclusion infered a beginning of space and time. When the discovery was first reported the scientific community rallied themselves together because they assumed that this meant that they had discovered the ignition switch which would explode Theism's belief in a supernatural beginning by a creator that transcends the finite world. However after exploring the ramifications of their discovery they realized that their discovery pointed to a beginning and the obvious conclusion that in order for there to be a beginning it only follows that there had to be a "beginner."
There are alot of Christians out there that fight against the idea that the Big Bang Theory is how things are without realizing that this is not an anti-thetical to the idea of an intelligent design of the universe but actually supports the claims of a God-engineered universe. As a matter of fact the discovery of this singularity of space/time/material event has been the catalyst for the community of scientists we have today that believe in the Christian world view and are constantly discovering new areas within creation where the fingerprint of God is everywhere from the world of cosmology to microbiology and the information contained within the DNA.
Your idea is not new...welcome to the real world of God's created order and where the heavens declare the handiwork of God.
Source(s): I would also add that for those who think this Big Bang is supportive of evolutionary naturalism they could not be farther from the truth. The Cambrian explosion within the fossil record tells us that whole complete species arrived on the scene with absolutely no transitional forms before them. Beyond Planck time there was a point where physical matter suddenly acquired the ability to think, reason and love. Evolution has no answer for this and cannot justify the words "I love you" if philosophical/evolutionary naturalism were true. But those of us who believe in an intelligent designer know that God breathed life into the form of man and he became a living soul, made in the image of God and with eternal significance for now and always. - 1 decade ago
Yes that is correct. The big bang theory is no theory, its fact.
As Allah explains in the Qur'an:
The illuminating stars we see at night were, just as was the whole universe, in that ‘smoke’ material. God has said in the Quran:
Then He turned to the heaven when it was smoke... (Quran, 41:11)
Because the earth and the heavens above (the sun, the moon, stars, planets, galaxies, etc.) have been formed from this same ‘smoke,’ we conclude that the earth and the heavens were one connected entity. Then out of this homogeneous ‘smoke,’ they formed and separated from each other. God has said in the Quran:
Have not those who disbelieved known that the heavens and the earth were one connected entity, then We separated them?... (Quran, 21:30)
Dr. Alfred Kroner is one of the world’s renowned geologists. He is Professor of Geology and the Chairman of the Department of Geology at the Institute of Geosciences, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany. He said: “Thinking where Muhammad came from . . . I think it is almost impossible that he could have known about things like the common origin of the universe, because scientists have only found out within the last few years, with very complicated and advanced technological methods, that this is the case.
Also he said: “Somebody who did not know something about nuclear physics fourteen hundred years ago could not, I think, be in a position to find out from his own mind, for instance, that the earth and the heavens had the same origin.

This is one of the all time great debates, perhaps the greatest.
Good solid arguments can be made from both the creationist and evolutionist camps. There could be a mixture of both involved, but neither can be proven or disproven unequivocally.
I remember young people (my age then) back in the 60's who contemplated the meaning of life. So, they wasted great measure of time contemplating instead of living.
Here is the bottom line: 100 years from now, we will all be dead. That is a Fact. There will be people around at that time who will be asking the same question but they will either be wasting their time contemplating the meaning of life or living Life!

I believe that. I think God created the big bang as he created us. The bible gives a version that is too simplistic. I believe the big bang answers the "how" we got here but not the "why" we're here.
- Anonymous1 decade ago
Yes, it is actually more likely than it happening by itself, since before the Big Bang there was nothing, but there has to be something in order to bang, if you know what I mean.
Also, it is likely that God created evolution and interfered only when absolutely necessary.
Think about this: If evolution happened by random mutations, wouldn't we all have too many legs and stuff?

Anything is possible. However, all evidence points to gods being man-made. There's nothing to indicate that any god caused the Big Bang.
- novangelisLv 71 decade ago
It's an absolutely undismissable possibility. The big bang cannot be traced back to it's cause. There is a limit, "Planck time", before which any discussion is untestable speculation.

Sure it is possible, God can do anything, but then why would you believe Him because He would be a total liar. Hebrew 11:3 By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible."
