Atheists-Why did Einstein say the Big Bang Theory was "the most beautiful explanation of creation"?

Someone in here said something along the lines of "it's completely natural, no supernatural crap needed." Hold on a second. Explain to me exactly why this primeval point exploded. Explain the mechanism. Especially since this point's gravity would have been greater than any current black hole's. so why did it explode? I see plenty of room for a God in this theory.

You left out this part: [citation needed] However there is disagreement over the reporting of this quote in the newspapers of the time, and it may be that Einstein was not actually referring to the theory as a whole but to Lemaître's proposal that cosmic rays may in fact be the leftover artifacts of the initial "explosion". Later research on cosmic rays by Robert Millikan would undercut this proposal, however. (From the same paragraph of the Wikipedia article that you deceptively quote-mined.

Lying For Jeezus is still LYING; Thank you for the added evidence that religion = BAD morals.

-It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.-

- Albert Einstein, letter to an atheist (1954), quoted in Albert Einstein: The Human Side, edited by Helen Dukas & Banesh Hoffman

Father George Lemaitre proposed the enormous Bang theory - are trying studying actual historical past. LeMaitre proposed an increasing universe and Fred Hoyle referred to as it the giant bang as a type of derision. - It made a lot more experience than magic.

Because Einstein was familiar with the concept of using a poetic metaphor. It is a skill that the theists are lacking. It's the same reason he said that god does not play dice, but Einstein rejected the idea of a personal god.

Now stop quote mining.

"During the youthful period of mankind's spiritual evolution, human fantasy created gods in man's own image who, by the operations of their will were supposed to determine, or at any rate influence, the phenomenal world."

- Albert Einstein, quoted in: 2000 Years of Disbelief, James Haught

How you can see such a person as struggling to believe in a creator, I have no idea.

Got me. I won't pretend to know what his thoughts or motivations were, only he knew that, and he no longer exists to ask about it.

I find it rather silly that YOU have no problem pretending to know his thoughts, when you can't do any such thing.

Not that it matters; if Einstein "believed" in a creator, does that mean there is one? Nope. If he didn't believe in one, does that mean there isn't one? Nope. So why does it matter?

Einstein argued for Steady State Theory. I think your quote ain't real.

A lot of Einstein quotes are Pantheist in nature, when he referred to God he did not mean God in the religious sense, in the same way the Higgs Boson is the 'God Partical' but does not actually refer to God.

Creation is just a word in that context.

Why did an Arkansas Senator defend himself to Bill Maher in Religulous that you didn't need an IQ test to be in the Senate?

Yeah, Jake! There's a big ol' gap in which to shove your god. "Lord knows" there aren't too many gaps of that size left, so let you have this one, right? Right!

/sarcasm

Because it is. It's the only explanation of origins of the universe that makes sense.

And the best thing, it's completely natural, no supernatural crap required.

Because religion was still big deal then.
