secularfuture: "YOU'RE 100% CORRECT!
"The Big Bang" is a VERY stupid name for such a grand theory."


That's because the term "big bang" was coined as a derisive term by Fred Hoyle, a leading proponent of the steady state theory, to describe the position of his opponents (who generally referred to it as the primeval atom theory or as the Lemaitre-Gamow model). Until the big bang theory received widespread acceptance, most scientists held to the steady state theory, which argued that the universe had no beginning and had always existed.

Why do you think the big bang theory contradicts what God says?

Why does scientific confirmation of what the Bible said thousands of years ago seem to upset you so much?

LOL.....That was the purpose of the name.  It was coined by a physicist that disagreed with the theory when it was first introduced.  He wanted to make it sound silly.

Well - he did a pretty good job.
