Is the big bang theory the golden calf of our day?
Exo 32:22 So Aaron said, "Do not let the anger of my lord become hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.
Exo 32:23 For they said to me, 'Make us gods that shall go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.'
Exo 32:24 And I said to them, 'Whoever has any gold, let them break it off.' So they gave it to me, and I cast it into the fire, and this calf came out."
Here Aaron was shirking his responsibility, saying "I put the gold in the fire, and this calf just came out on it's own!"
According to the big bang, a huge explosion happened, and this universe just popped out! Everything just kind of swirled into place, law and order came about on their own, where there had previusly been none, and things just started magically happening on their own, with no outside intelligence or purpose!
Exo 32:25 And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)
So now we can strip off our "clothes" of divine origin and accountability, and do whatever we wish, whatever seems best to us.
Perhaps not worship it directly, but use it as a means to escape from God, thus elevating it as a creative force.
likeuknow: I'm not referring to those who believ in God, I'm referring to those who use it to explain God away. Without God, what force would have swirled the universe together and made order from "violent beginnings" and a chaotic origin?
Paul: let's seperate observation from assumption. There are a great deal of assumptions made based on observational data to arrive at the conclusions drawn. One assumption is that the speed of light is a constant, and that the timeframe in which light arrives from the stars has not been altered in the distance travelled, ignoring Einstein's theory about time being variable under certain conditions.

There was an excellent explanation of your thinking given by Lord Carey the former Archbishop of Canterbury this week – “Creationism is the fruit of a fundamentalist approach to scripture, ignoring scholarship and critical learning, and confusing different understandings of truth”!!

Hi Lantern,
not exactly.
Big Bang is, at the moment, just a theory - somewhat akin, if you like, to "the people" saying to Aaron, "give us something else to think about so that we don't worry about Moses."
There is a body of evidence supporting Big Bang but, at present, no postulate with widespread acceptance as to what lead to Big Bang.
I've heard that it was God farting but that's just another theory.
Blessed be

The big bang theory is just a working scientific explanation of the beginnings of the universe. Decades of observation and experimentation has led to this scientific explanation of things. Scientific explanations make no effort to explain or attribute meaning to anything.

Don't you see the irony in you using the word "magically"to describe the BB with derision?Why do you put god in such a small box?Giving god orders as to how he should have created the universe.It happened.If there is a god,obviously that's how he did it.You spit in the face of any god of truth by insisting he must have "magically"created it according to YOUR wishes.
How do you make a man?
Well,first you have to make a universe silly.Don't be so small minded.God doesn't appreciate it

I don't know of anyone that worships the big bang theory any more than people worship the theory of gravity, or the theory of relativity.

Yes. Let's all get naked and exalt in the name of the "Big Bang"!
Cast ye your gold into the fires of the "Big Bang" and hath thee come forth thine golden dildo of righteousness.

Nope.
There are no Levites to come chop us to bits with swords at God's orders. Sorry to disappoint you.

According to cosmologists, you don't know what on earth you're talking about.

Um, sane people don't worship the big bang.
