The Big Bang vs. Creationism?

If we tell you, will you quit believing in your invisible cosmic magic man? I doubt it.

For thousands of years, people have said that their gods were behind what they didn't understand -- life, lightning, stars, earthquakes, the origin of life, the world or the universe, etc. Positing a god to supposedly answer a question solves nothing. It just adds an unwarranted level of complexity and stops you from asking more questions.

It used to be that science couldn't answer the question about the origin of the universe or of the Big Bang, but that didn't mean we should make up an answer (such as a god) and say that it was the cause. Within the last few decades scientists have discovered some good answers. Of course, a scientific explanation is more complex than simply saying, "God did it."

Quantum mechanics shows that "nothing," as a philosophical concept, does not exist. There is always a quantum field with random fluctuations.

There are many well-respected physicists, such as Stephen Hawking, Lawrence Krauss, Sean M. Carroll, Victor Stenger, Michio Kaku, Alan Guth, Alex Vilenkin, Robert A.J. Matthews, and Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek, who have created scientific models where the Big Bang and thus the entire universe could arise from nothing but a random quantum vacuum fluctuation in the quantum field -- via natural processes.

In relativity, gravity is negative energy, and matter and photons are positive energy. Because negative and positive energy seem to be equal in absolute total value, our observable universe appears balanced to the sum of zero. Our universe could thus have come into existence without violating conservation of mass and energy — with the matter of the universe condensing out of the positive energy as the universe cooled, and gravity created from the negative energy.

I know that this doesn't make sense in our Newtonian experience, but it does in the realm of quantum mechanics and relativity. As Nobel laureate physicist Richard Feynman wrote, "The theory of quantum electrodynamics describes nature as absurd from the point of view of common sense. And it agrees fully with experiment. So I hope you can accept nature as she is — absurd."

For more about the Big Bang and its implications, watch the video at the 1st link - "A Universe From Nothing" by theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss, read an interview with him (at the 2nd link), get his new book (at the 3rd link), or read an excerpt from his book (at the 4th link). And, see the 5th link for "Quantum scientists make something out of nothing."

Bottom line. Your faith is a delusional standpoint.

At no stage will an always existed invisible sky wizard be an acceptable answer for a thinking person

Additional Details

It was SKY wizard. :)

It not a roundabout argument you hypocrite, the burden of proof is on you but you have nothing so you run from it like the coward you are

There is evidence for the big bang. There is no evidence any gods exist, let alone a specific one.

>Stop calling theists idiots.

Stop arguing logical fallacies like appeal to ignorance.

>you can't prove religion because it's completely based on faith

That means you have no intellectually honest reason to believe in that specific god.

The Big Bang may be wrong....but at least, and you admit this, there is at least some scientific evidence to support it.......

For God and Creationism there isn't a single scrap of evidence to back it up.........

Science is dynamic and changes as more knowledge is gained.......

Religion is static.....no knowledge is ever gained....

Theists are idiots....there is no more reason to believe in God as there is to believe in Father Christmas......adults believing in fairy tales is ridiculous....

Yes, nobody knows the full truth about the beginning of the universe. Let's agree on that instead of believing in and promoting one of many ancient myths which claim to explain it. Because bronze age man was good at making up stories. (Homer and his ilk were much better at it than the Abrahamic lot - let's face it.) But they weren't so good at cosmology and particle physics.

The Big Bang Theory is total baloney, and an insult to God.

If "no one knows", then it's a gap. There is no reason to stick a god in it!

I don't know where one of my left socks is. Do you know? Does anyone know? If NO ONE knows, is it reasonable to believe that a GOD stole my left sock for unknown reasons, since gods work in mysterious ways and shouldn't be questioned?

If it is, can you help me with somehow convincing him to give it back?

We don't know how the universe came into being. Therefore God did it or even more egregious is that the Christian god did it.

NON- SEQUITUR

How can Christianity seem much more plausible than evolution and fact. YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT CHRISTIANITY. THE BIBLE IS A BOOK OF CONTRADICTIONS AND MORAL LOOPHOLES.
