Did God Create with a "Big Bang"?

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.

First, you can safely ignore anybody who talks about "evolution" when talking about the Big Bang theory or the origin of the universe.  Such a person doesn't know the difference between biology and astrophysics, and is thus is not the best person to be asking about science.\n\nSecond, the "atoms and other stuff" didn't "cause" the Big Bang (as you say in your question).  They were created *by* it.\n\nThird, the Big Bang theory proposes that the light elements (hydrogen, helium, and perhaps some lithium) were created in *extremely* high-energy conditions present in the first moments of the universe after the big bang.  The heavier elements were created much later after gravity had coalesced masses of hydrogen into early stars.  The confirmation of these processes keeps mounting as we build bigger particle accelerators that simulate higher and higher energies in the laboratory.  \n\nBut I'm sure you're really asking what happened "before" the big bang to "cause" it.   Scientists barely have ways to even ask this question, as the very nature of "before" breaks down when we're talking about the beginning of time itself.\n\nIn other words, science does not claim to have all the answers ... but that is not to say it has no answers at all.  \n\n--- \nAnd as for Mike B. ... a shining example of the worst of both worlds ... gets his science from the Bible, but not a thing about how to treat people.  It's unlikely he's ever read the Bible, or if he did, he didn't understand a word of it.

They propose, some had created the Universe... The agent of the Big Bang, God may be...

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.

Very intersting question which I or no-one else can answer with 100% certainty. I'm no expert in physics but i figure that to create the source of the 'big bang' would  require an infinite amount of matter to be squeezed into a small ball by an even more infinite amount of pressure - which would have to be equal on all sides... so where did all this matter & pressure come from???

In the begining...(sorry, couldn't help myself) God decided that he wanted to see if he could create a rock so big he couldn't lift it. Since God was self-eternal, he knew he that what was directly "created" could never be truly equal to a being that was self-eternal, so he thought to himself "how about a place where they might be more likely to arise"?\nHaving pondered the logistics he finally decided that the best approach was to compact everything into a "ball", and then detonate said ball with such force that matter would be seperated from energy. He knew that certain elements would naturally bond together in the aftermath, forming chunks here and pieces there. Eventually forming more and more complex entities. Even to the point of being able to temporarily trap some of the free flowing energy that tried to pass through the material. \nThis trapped energy would, in it's attempt to move out of said material, give the appearance of animation. Some of this "animating energy", depending in part on the length of time it was trapped and the complexity of the matter it was in, would come to realize it's situation of separation. Perhaps then, if the animating energy accepted it's separation as not necessarily a bad thing, it could organize itself in such a way as to keep itself intact once it left the host material.\nOn a large scale this can be seen when some stars evolve into a black hole, with a "singularity" inside. On a small scale it can be seen in Jesus or Buddha or a few others who have organized their animating energy into a permanent consciousness.\nThus fufilling God's original experiment as to whether he could make a rock so heavy he couldn't lift it. A universe where separated energy can indeed become self-eternal. \n"In the image of God", but on a smaller scale.

god created the universe and god created himself.

The Big Bang didn't happen in a place.  Space and time were created in the big bang. The Big Bang is a theory to explain universal/spatial expansion. \n\nI think it's easiest to look at the idea this way. Scientists have observed that everything past our local galactic cluster seems to be retreating from us. All observations point to the universe being infinite and roughly uniform in all directions. \n\nIf it's expanding at given rate now, chances are it's slowed down. Go back in time, the universe was denser and expanding faster. Rewind the timeline far enough and you'll come to a period when everything was all bunched together in a massive, undiscernable clump. Then, suddenly, Bang!!! Space! And everything in it... which has been spreading out and slowing down (pretty much) ever since. \n\nTry thinking about it like the air expaning in bread as it rises, or in a balloon as it fills. Everything is moving apart from everything. Only the universe has been infinitely large from the get go. It's almost like someone just keeps adding empty space in between everything.\n\nIf it helps at all, the center of the big bang for the visible universe was the same place the center of the visible universe always is. Wherever you are. From that point, everything you can see was at some moment in the past gethered together in a lump with infinite density.

Yeah...one of my college professors said that God started the whole thing...I agree...who said that creation was a "quiet" event...The BIG BANG...and God was the one that fired the shot!

Nobody has been able to prove that the Universe was created by god or not. Cosmologists (astronomer’s who study the evolution and space-time relations of the universe) have been trying for years to understand the way the Universe came into being by trying to understand what occurred during the very first few seconds of the Big Bang. Through these studies they’ve determined with a high degree of probability that the Universe did indeed spring up from a central point in the cosmos and expanded with tremendous speed to envelop all that we see. \n\nThe one thing that none of these scientists have ever attempted to prove is weather the Universe was artificially created (God) or the byproduct of natural forces. To do so would smack of heresy among their scientific peers, not to mention the reaction from the religious community. The entrance of a divine force has been left up to us to determine. Even the cosmologists and mathematicians have long been divided as to weather God had a hand in its creation. \n\nAlbert Einstein (a devout Jew) for instance strongly believed that there was more than a hint of a divine hand in the creation of the universe. The way the physics of the universe operated seemed too perfect for them to spring up from pure chance or coincidence.

The big bang is the creation of the universe. Scientists have recorded an echo in space, it is the echo of the big bang.

That's the problem with the evolutionist's "theory" they say,"It was there and it exploded"No. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Have u heard of Intelligent design? Yea most of it is "religious" but see, the word "Creation" means the making from nothing" so u can easily say that God created the universe.It's easy to believe since no scientific evidence is needed.If the bang did come about, why do planets spin in opposite directions? Look in the conservation of angular momentum. I'm not trying to make u christian, but i'm glad u see a flaw in,these theories of the bang, no one was around at the time to know, so how could they be right? I'm glad u asked. My name is Tyler from Kearney, Ne E-mail me @ meatballofall@yahoo.com if u have more to ask or want to know more.

Science can say nothing about the source of the Big Bang or what might have preceded it, as science only deals with what can be observed. \n\nConcluding from this that there is a god is merely putting a name on the unknowable. This doesn't really get you anywhere, as you still have the problem of a total lack of observable evidence. Anything you say about your assumed god is no more supported than scientific surmises about the origins of the Big Bang. Even your assumption that said deity is almighty is mere surmise - for all we know the creator was sent to his room for having made this mess.\n\nConclusion: trying to validate religion scientifically is bad science and bad religion.

In accordance with the physical laws of this universe, it is impossible for the matter in the big bang theory to have come out of nothing or to have just always existed.  It is impossible for something to come out of nothing... I'm sure you agree with this.  Also, the universe is expanding, which indicates that it had a beginning point in time.  So you're question appears to be, "If it is impossible for the earth to have always been in existance, how is it logical to believe that God has always been in existance?"\n\nThe thing is, we know that the earth had a beginning and that it is impossible for it to have just come about on its own by the physical laws of this world.  But if God created everything (which I believe He did), then He is not bound by the laws He created.  He made up the laws of physics.  How could He be limited to those laws?  \n\nWe cannot think of God in terms of our physical world.  God made up the rules, therefore God is not under the rules.  He is eternal.  The world which He created is not. \n\nHere's another thought I'm just going to throw out here, even though it does not go right along with your original question.  If you believe that you have a soul or a spirit, or if you believe in any type of spirit beings, how could these have come about by purely by physical means?  Can spiritual things come from physical things?  If this world only came about by matter and not by God, how could matter produce spiritual things?  \n\n\n"For by Him [Jesus] all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisble, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him.  He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together."  Colossians 1:16-17 ([Jesus] was added by me for clarification of the pronoun Him.)

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.

noone "created" god he has alwayz been in existence.

Yup - its the Big Bang alright. But I think i wwill agree with Stephen Hawking on this one .. Whilst God is not necessary to explain the Big Bang, all the theories break down prior to the first fraction of a second. I guess until with have the GUT (Grand Unified Theory) we cannot reject the idea of a higher power kciking it all off.\n\nI will ask this though.. if it was a creator or an Energy (that was already there) - Who created the creator?\n\nIan
