I recently went through an ordeal with an avid atheist about The Big Bang Theory vs. Creationism. She explained that Christians ask for proof when it comes to evolution, the Big Bang Theory, and global warming but when it comes to God, Christians say "Just have faith" you do not need proof. I think there is a way that we Christians can use the tools these brilliant scientists have gave us to help aid our "proof" that God is real, eternal, and divine to help influence more people to accept God as their savior. Not everyone is the same, some people need a little more "nudging" to accept something that frightens them. I do believe everyone has their own journey and their own walk with Jesus but we as Christians must witness to these non-believers and attempt to convert them to Christianity. I have wrote up a very rough draft of some things I know to be true and I was hoping some intellectuals here can help me finish this article by adding to it, correcting it, or giving some additional input. Your replies are appreciated!

[FONT=&quot]The Big Bang Theory Explained with Creationism Theory[/FONT]​
[FONT=&quot] Many theoretical physicists would agree with the Big Bang Theory and that everything began from an explosion triggered by a “sound wave”. Being an avid Christian, I had a bone to pick with this theory. I have faith in Jesus Christ and in the Holy Bible therefore I knew there was a way to explain everything these brilliant scientists have agreed upon and thought to be “true”. I commend the theories because they do have merit, being that the Big Bang Theory is simply a stab at describing HOW God created everything. In the book of Genesis God “spoke” things into being. God said, “Let there be light”, and there was light. How this has been overlooked for so long bewilders me, but this is obviously the “sound wave” that triggered the “big bang” in the Big Bang Theory. Also, the order in which everything was brought into being by God correlates directly with how everything would have been created. For example, how there was light before land, land before water, fish before animals, and animals before humans. Along with the big bang theory it is thought that evolution started from single-cell organisms within the seas growing into multi-cell organisms on-to fish and so on to animals. What many hard atheist advocates is that if God created everything then what or who created God? The answer is that God was not created and God does not end. We attempt to compare God to humans too often, but God is divine and God is eternal. We are so accustomed to everything beginning and ending that we lose grasp of the fact that God is above us, we cannot compare our beginnings and endings with God. The bible tells us that we (humans) will never be able to comprehend God’s eternal and divine power. Sit on that for a while. Our brains, as powerful as they are, have created and invented so many useful theories, technologies, algorithms, and many other things but our brains will not ever be able to comprehend even slightly the power of our God. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Another theory recently brought up a lot is the idea of a multi-verse through wormholes and blackholes. Do these exist? Of course they do. There is Heaven, Hell, and then our dimension Heaven being the first dimension, Hell being the second dimension and our dimension being the third dimension (3-D). These dimensions can be connected through worm holes or black holes. These holes destroy any mass that pass through them, which explains why only souls can pass through since souls do not have mass.[/FONT]

The bib bang says the universe had a beginning. Logic says that anything that has a beginning requires a cause outside of itself.

My view is... I don't care what others believe. In the end they stand before God and have to try to reason with their human minds why the big bang isn't wrong. Despite the fact they are in front of God and seeing Him, thus making big bang false.

Why would seeing God make the Big Bang wrong? God could have made the Big Bang.

The big bang theory says that the observable universe had a beginning 13.8 billion years ago. Do you accept that?

I have seen this claim often. However, I have never seen anyone even only making an attempt at producing this logical deduction.

Quantum mechanics show that quantum scale events do not need causes.

I believe God could manifest anything He wanted. God made birds to have wings, so why couldn't He make himself have wings?

Right, God could manifest himself in any type of way: human being, bird, whatever.

That's not what I'm asking. More specifically: do you think God's intrinsic existence involves wings?

Well I do believe that God could have made a big bang of sorts since the universe came into being out of nothing. Although my view would be it happened in 7 days, not billions of years or however the big bang works.

It is in fact a hypothesis. A theory has to be proven. The Big Bang cannot be proven. So therefore it is not a theory! Gravity, now that is a theory. Something that can be proven.

Do you believe that the Earth rotates and orbits the Sun?

Do you know how science works? A theory has to be very well supported - which the Big Bang is.

Why not interpret the Bible in light of the evidence? The creation stories even seem like they could be spiritual myths. There's nothing incompatible with an infallible Bible to think that some of it was meant to be understood as non-literal, because non-literal stories can still get a message across (eg: parables).

I am right along with you. I believe it happened in 7 days. In the beginning days may not have been the same as they are today. What we call a day is the cycle in which our planet rotates on it's axis.
