The Big Bang is nonsense, so why do I defend it?

As always---you totally ignored the actual meaning, sticking only to Strong's without taking into account actual Jewish definition by Jewish scholars who study the original writings with the original pictographs and ignored the post previous to yours. The pictographs are more accurate.

Here we are arguing about the word 'day,' as if the Bible has anything to say about the Big Bang.

It does not because it is not a science book.

There's truth in this statement.

No, it is not a science book--however, words are very important if accuracy is important to you, it is to me. The word day being discussed has nothing to do with the big bang theory--it has to do with what scripture means when it says day. People insist is can mean eons--when in the original it most certainly does not. But actually--for me-- I very much do believe in a big bang---actually, I believe in 6 big bangs---each time God said "let there be"-----BANG!---the power of His word caused a big bang and what He said, became reality.

Amen, since God hid His scientific Truth in the first chapter of the Bible and it will become known in the last days. Dan 12:4 So, please tell me WHY I should follow the teaching of the ancient scholars? Especially the Jewish scholars, since many people study the ancient meanings of the Hebrew words BUT remain unable to understand the FIRST chapter of Genesis. Can you?

Typical unbelieving view BUT Scripture IS True to Science and agrees with every discovery of Science and History IF you have the proper understanding which you do not.

I prefer to see the word Day as Age. Here's why. NO one here, believer or unbeliever, has been able to tell us of a time in the PAST when:

1. Humans had dominion/rule over mosquitoes, viruses or Angels as Gen 1:28 plainly states.
2. Every living creature was a vegetarian as Gen 1:30 states.

Since these verse show this, it is a total misunderstanding of Scripture, to believe that the verses are speaking of the PAST instead of the FUTURE....at the end of the present 6th Day/Age, the Age of Salvation. This prophecy is fulfilled AFTER Jesus returns at Armageddon.

The Lord explains:
2Co 6:2

(For He saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured (helped) thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

Do you think the Day of Salvation is only 24 hours long?

False, since the proper understanding of Genesis one tells the entire History of God's 6 Days/Ages of Creation. The next 3 verses tell of a future 7th Day which is Eternity. ALL of the rest of the Bible, from Gen 2:4-Rev 22 refers BACK to one of the 7 Days of Creation shown in the first 34 verses of Genesis. It's proof of God since He told us of our future at the end of the present 6th Day, thousands of years ago.

False. This is your interpretation, in no way to be confused with truth.

You preference has no relationship with truth. The Hebrew language is not depended on what you think it means, but what it actually says. Yom is day--beyom is a period of time. Your interpretation of Genesis has never been accurate in any way shape or form. But if that brings you some sort of happiness----whatever---ignorance is bliss they say.
We had dominion over every living thing at creation. It was lost at the fall. Every thing was vegetarian at creation, that was lost at the fall. There was no death at creation, that ended with the fall---and God Himself, killed the first animal to clothe Adam and Eve and they saw what their sin led to. The bible is clear, if you would stay away from your false imaginings you would see the clarity.

How can science make the claim that a singularity existed, when a singularity is beyond any measurement or detection. The very idea of a singularity is utter science fiction. I cannot test the validity of that scientific claim?
The singularity is the result of applying Einstein's General Relativity back to the earliest moments. As I understand it, few physicists think a singularity is really what started it, any more than they think black holes really have a singularity at their core - because when a physical model produces infinities in limit situations, it's taken as an indication that they 'break down' in those situations, i.e. they are no longer validly applicable.

In the case of GR it is known that it is incomplete - it doesn't account for the effects of quantum mechanics that dominate at those scales & energies. There isn't yet a satisfactory unification of the two theories, so there is no consensus resolution yet to what really happens in those situations.

See Initial Singularity:
