Did the big bang...

[Bible Duty]

Did the big bang create time? I often hear how the big bang created time and space.

That is a question that is still unanswered. But it is one of several potentially viable possibilities.

 

[Arikay]

since space and time are linked, Yes the start of the space we experience was also the start of the time that we experience.

 

[Late_Cretaceous]

Time and space came into existance with the big bang.

Time and space were "created" at that moment or possibly just an expnasion of... but not the 24 hour day that you are thinking of, which is a function of our planet which was formed long after the Big Bang. Once you leave the Earth's atmosphere space and time become one unit collectively known as, spacetime.

Even within Earth´s atmosphere space and time are the unit know as "spacetime".

Yes. I believe space is necessary for time to have meaning. A particle traveling through space constitues time.

Although, I've always wondered what this "travelling" is...

-edit- I think "String Theory" might have the answer, what with it's "waves" in an extended line. But, then again, I know very little of the theory.

Times starting point was the big bang. You and I believe we now who created that.

How can an explosion ever create order?

When said explosion is at the begening of time.

I realize that. I was speaking in relation to a 24 hour day that we operate under.

Yes, The Big bang does not discount or falsify a creator. We have quite a few clues that it left behind namely the CMB and Red shifting of every visible galaxy. There are 5 competeing theories as to the cause and "Deity/Gods" is one of the theories. None of the 5 theories have been falsified, as yet.

It was not an "explosion" in the sense that you are thinking of, but more of an expansion.

 

[ObbiQuiet]

How can an explosion ever create order?

It can't.

The big bang wasn't an explosion, however - it was an expansion.

 

[Bushido216]

How can an explosion ever create order?

Define "order".

 

[Bible Duty]

I have another question, since the big bang started time, how long did it take for it to begin?

 

[Orison]

would that make any difference

 

[Orison]

Define "order".

The "perfect" harmony we live in... The fact that if we were a few million kilometers closer or further from the sun we would have either fried or frozen...

The way in which nature co-exists...

 

[MartinM]

The "perfect" harmony we live in...

What "perfect" harmony?

The fact that if we were a few million kilometers closer or further from the sun we would have either fried or frozen...

Like Mars, which was never habitable...

 

[Orison]

Like Mars, which was never habitable...[/QUOTE]

That just proves the point, because earth is in the perfect position to sustain life. Mars has a carbon dioxide atmosphere.

 

[MartinM]

The point being, of course, that Mars was habitable, and may still be.
