Why are creationists so against the big bang theory?

Other than YEC's most of the creationists I know embrace the BBT - the reality is when first introduced it was that materialists and atheists who raged against it because they saw it as giving creationists a foot in the door... Though I must admit, what happened to friends like Halton Arp at the hands the Big Bangers probably taints my objectivity just a little bit. I reject various flavors of the Big Bang Model because I see it as bad science! But it has really become academic at this point now that Joe Sixpack realizes it doesn't really work.

All Christians are creationists, most of them (well most Catholic and mainstream Christians anyway) seem to accept the scientific evidence for the big bang, evolution etc. its just that they think it was a creator god that set these processes in motion.

It's the Christian fundies and Muslims that have a problem with this.

Some Christians don't understand that the Big-Bang theory gives more to the creation belief.

I agree with you I can't understand that many Christians would think that creation would be stone silent. In my opinion it was a very noisy place when all that was going on, it would have made a very loud noise

Why are creationists so against the big bang theory?

- It is something that takes intelligence to understand and since they do not understand it, and their god cannot understand any more than that do, god could not have used that to create the universe.

I do not deny the fact that there probably was a big explosion of light and thus heat, it is everything else about the big bang theory I deny.

That is a very sensible question and the kind I would like to see more of on here. I think they know if they follow that line of reasoning it will take them further away from the Christian view. They want a personal god who concerns himself with them on a individual basis. They are use to getting the M&M reward and do only for personal gain. It's kind of like the Jews to refuse to follow Jesus when he was a Jew. or Like conservatives who reject a conservative solution when it is proposed by a liberal or vice verse.

I don't doubt some kind of natural big-bang like event occurring, but I believe God caused it. I don't believe God did it necessarily in a way that can't be explained naturally, like it was just like "POOF!"

the big-bang theory =/= the book of Genesis

and remember, theories are theories and science facts are science facts

big bang theory

there was no space-time-mass/energy continuum

then there was

nothing became everything for no reason

Because that show sucks liquid a**
