Do you think the Earth was created by God..or the Big Bang? I want your thoughts and opinions?

Bible says, "Earth is 6,000 years old."\n\nArcheology and Ancient History says, "Earth is BILLIONS of years old." Radio Carbon Dating proves this.\n\nI've heard nonsensical retorts from bible thumpers that say, "Oh, yea fossils are caused when lightning hits trees or bones, so that's why there are fossils." (This is BS).\n=========================\nBible says, "Dinosaurs? What dinosaurs?" (makes NO mention of dinosaurs) -- And imagine how long Adam and Eve would have lasted in the Land of Dinosaurs, LOL...\n\nArcheology, Paleontology, Ecology, Pathology, etc. says, "There are 1,000s of species of dinosaurs that are millions of years old".\n\n========================\nBible says, "There was one man and one woman starting out.(Adam and Eve)" -- This would have us believe incest is how we all came about. (Again, completely nonsensical). Next comes the cover story for this:\n\nThey're next retort is to tell the story of the "Tower of Babel".  This story tries to explain that the Adam and Eve family was "miraculously" split into millions of different races!  (AMAZING!).  All the humans decided they'd build a giant pyramid to heaven and overthrow god!  (HAHAHA silly humans! BAM, now you're 1,000 different races and tongues!)  --  What kind of nursery rhyme is this?\n--------------------------------------------------\n ONLY Bush-voting, Rush Limbaugh-listening, Bill O'Reilly- Talking Headed baffoons can believe this kind of s***.\n\nHuman ecology and pathology would show that it is IMPOSSIBLE to have inbreeding like this, without the bad effects.  Humans would be complete mongoloids now with horrible deformities.\n========================\nWhy is evolution so hard to believe?  Given the billions of years it takes for chemicals to react and combine and recombine, things happen.  Synthetic materials are produced, entities are born.\n\nI imagine if bible thumpers didn't know about wind they'd assume that famous rock formations were made by the "hand of god".\n\nReligion should have gone the way of the dinosaur, but sadly, we are stuck in a land of barbarian-like people.  It's easier to believe what you're told to believe, than to think for yourself, thus evolving yourself...\n--------------------------------------------\nChurches are a BILLION-DOLLAR a year industry!\nEach church tells you to give 10% of your income each week!\nIf the average(low) person pays their (10%) or .1*$400/week = $40). Imagine an average church has 200 members.  200 * $40 = $8000 (GASP).  And there are MEGA CHURCHES that have attendances of around 5,000 or so... ($200,000/week) (DROOL)  Who wouldn't want to be a "preacher"?\n\nIf the "preacher" can do his job and get his congregation to believe the bull and create converts, he's basically filling his bankroll with more money.  It's the biggest pyramid(ponzi) scheme in history!

current consensus is that it was the result of the big bang. No one knows what caused the big bang but the evidence seems rather conclusive. \n\nOne might say God caused the big bang but no one knows the mechanism that he used.

i think that what the bible says goes. the bible doesn't mention the "big bang" so i don't think that it happened.

Technically it would probably be wrong to say the original matter in the universe was smaller than a grain of sand. The big band is the start of the universe, according to scientists. It's the start of the 4 dimensions(3 dimensions of space and one dimension of time). It's the beginning of all matter and energy. What was there before the big bang? Nothing(if you don't believe in God). So what was it that exploded in the big bang? It couldn't have been the grain of sand sized speck of matter because all matter was a result or bi-product of the big bang. Whatever exploded had to be there before the explosion but matter didn't exist before the explosion. It was a bi-product of the explosion. So, what exploded? Nothing exploded. That, in essense, is what the big bang theory says.........nothing exploded and in the process everything was created. Everything was created out of nothing.\n  You might say "but don't christians believe everything was created out of nothing". Yes. I (as a christian) believe that God created the whole universe out of nothing. He literally spoke it into existence. God said "let there be light and there was light" or so it says in Genesis chapter 1. You say "then what's the difference"? The difference is that the atheists is saying that everything came from nothing and no one since he doesn't believe in a supreme being. Christians believe that everything came from nothing but NOT from no one. There was a God there to make it happen.\n  I guess another problem I have with the big bang is that you have unbelievable order and design coming from an explosion.\nExplode a grenade sometime and when all of the metal pieces fall back to the ground, see it you have a rolex watch lying there.

I kind of feel that it is almost impossible to answer this question if you are honest with yourself.  If you believe that the earth WAS intelligently designed, then by current logic, there are a LOT of flaws with it, however that could be because our logic is flawed, and not the subject about which we are discussing.\n\nIf you DON'T believe it was created, then you would have to put yourself into the shoes of that GREAT INTELLIGENT POWER, indicating you are on the same level with that power, and hence, have a perfect knowledge of these things. I don't think we can objectively do that, wheather you believe in a "God" or not.

well... tough question. it is said that the beginning of time was the Big Bang. if the Big Bang was produced in the center of the Universe, there must be the origin of time.

Creation.  Our world is made so that it is able to be lived in  by mankind.  Even though it does not seem to be such, we are a gigantic spaceship that is able to sustain a multiplicity different life forms, each very complex.\n\nEither a person accepts God as being Creator, or they accept the modern religion of evolution/big bang.

It sounds like a world in the book "wrinkle in time" where the world is controlled by "IT." Divirsity is good because ideas pop up faster. And i do not believe god created the earth. Everything has a scientific explanation, but i thing god created the big bang.

Re.:  Dinosaurs \n\n\nI believe that God created upon this earth PRIOR TO Genesis 1:1-31, 2:1-3.\n\nI believe God destroyed all prior creation (Gen.1:2) to bring forth man created in God's likeness (Gen.1:26), with an UNBROKEN lineage beginning with Adam.\n\n\n\nPat (ndbpsa ©)

The Big Bang is not a theory of the earth's origin. It is a theory of the origin of the whole universe. The earth wasn't formed until about 8.7 billion years after the universe started.\n\nThe predominant views of the origin of the earth are all variants of the nebular hypothesis which states that a cloud of gas and dust collapsed forming the sun and the solar system. There was a period of intense collisions where the planets grew through accretion. Most of the volatile chemicals (hydrogen, helium) were blown away from the planets near the sun due to solar wind (which was more intense when the sun was young).

Both. If God were to put his powerinto one specific point and create space and time, what do you think we would get?...A Big Bang. I don't see that there is any problem with believing in both!

Who created that "all matter and energy".  Who caused that concentrated mass of material to explode.  Who created that single-celled organism.\n\nyes, i believe God is the origin of everything.

god created the universe and god created himself.

Interesting.  When I read your question, my first thought was "creation."

Been watching one of those Startreck movies again, eh? I do believe if God did make life outside the Earth, he would have mentioned it in the Bible. Say, Gen. 1:18 "Then God created the Aliens without likeness of man, and placed them in other planets where darkness was. He breathed life to it, making it alive." v19 "He did not want Adam & Eve to know so he kept it a secret to thousand of thousands of generations."
