“I have little hesitation in saying that a sickly pall now hangs over the big bang theory.” (Sir Fred Hoyle, astronomer, cosmologist, and mathematician, Cambridge University)
According to the Theory of Evolution, 18 to 20 billion years ago all the matter in the universe was compressed into a tiny little dot. As the dot began to spin faster and faster, it finally exploded, releasing all of the matter and energy into the universe, producing everything we see today. That explosion of matter and energy is known as The Big Bang.
As you can see below, the size of what supposedly exploded has undergone some revision in recent years:
1931 – 12 trillion miles across (minimum)
1965 – 275 million miles across
1972 – 71 million miles across
1974 – 54 thousand miles across
1983 – “a trillionth of the diameter of a proton”
Today – Nothing exploded. A “singularity”.
But did the universe really get started by a Big Bang 18 to 20 billion years ago?
If so, I have a few questions:
- What exploded?
- Where did the space come from?
- Where did the matter come from?
- How did the matter get so perfectly organized?
- Where did the energy come from?
- How was the energy harnessed?
- Where did the laws come from?
- How did Time, Space & Matter enter existence at the same moment?
- How did all the elements evolve from Hydrogen and Helium?
- How did life begin?
The more certain a person is that the Big Bang and Evolution are true, the less information they seem to have in answering the logical and naturally arising questions above.
One of my favorite things to do is point out scientifically how the claims of this belief system are completely inconsistent with the observable universe as well as established scientific law and testable truth.
The Conservation of Angular Momentum Disproves the Big Bang
One such example can be made by considering the Conservation of Angular Momentum which states, that when a spinning object breaks apart in a frictionless environment, the fragments will be spinning in the same direction as the original object. That’s easy to understand since the outside is moving faster than the inside.
Therefore, if the Big Bang occurred as the Evolutionists would have us believe, how come Uranus, Venus and possibly Pluto are spinning backwards?
How come 8 of the 91 known moons are spinning backwards?
Why are there entire galaxies spinning backwards?
In the words of Kent Hovind, “I think because ‘in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth’ and he did it that way just to make the Big Bang Theory look stupid.”
The First Law of Thermodynamics Disproves the Big Bang
The 1st law of Thermodynamics states that “matter and or energy cannot be created or destroyed.” So where did everything come from in the Big Bang and what made it start spinning? Who bought the gas to run this machine?
The Second Law of Thermodynamics Disproves the Big Bang
The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics is Entropy and says “everything is tending towards disorder.” This is completely incongruent with and the very opposite of Evolution which believes that everything is getting better, stronger, faster, smarter and more complex in time. However, as we can clearly observe, left alone, things get worse over time, not better.
Energy’s Destructive Properties Disprove the Big Bang
Evolutionists assume that adding energy (open system) will overcome the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. However:
1. The universe is a closed system by definition.
2. Adding energy is destructive without a complex mechanism to harness the energy.
Adding energy creates disorder, not order. We no more ordered Hiroshima and Nagasaki than the Japanese ordered Pearl Harbor. Unharnessed energy is destructive. Consider the sun. The energy from the sun itself also destroys all in its wake: rooftops, paint jobs, skin cells, etc. Energy does not create order, only disorder and destruction. Only a complex molecule called chlorophyll can harness the sun’s energy. And remember, smaller does not mean simpler. Smaller means more complex. For instance, one plant cell has greater complexity than an entire space shuttle.
The Lumpiness of the Universe Disproves the Big Bang
If the Big Bang were true and a spinning object exploded in a frictionless environment, the matter would be distributed evenly across the universe. But it isn’t. The universe is filled with lumpy places called galaxies and miles upon miles of nothing called voids.
The Lack of Antimatter in the Universe Disproves the Big Bang
As I read from the original pioneers on this, CSE,(www.drdino.com/the-big-bang-theory/), I found the following worth adding regarding the conundrum of antimatter:
There is not enough antimatter in the universe. This is a big problem for the theorists. The original Big Bang would have produced equal amounts of positive matter (matter) and negative matter (antimatter). But only small amounts of antimatter exist. There should be as much antimatter as matter—if the Big Bang was true.
“Since matter and antimatter are equivalent in all respects but that of electromagnetic charge oppositeness, any force [the Big Bang] that would create one should have to create the other, and the universe should be made of equal quantities of each. This is a dilemma. Theory tells us there should be antimatter out there, and observation refuses to back it up.” Isaac Asimov, Asimov’s New Guide to Science, p. 343
“The fact that a theory so vague, so insufficiently verifiable, and so far from the criteria otherwise applied in ‘hard’ science has become a dogma can only be explained on sociological grounds.”
(Ludwig von Bertalanffy, biologist)
# Where did the space come from?
# Where did the matter come from?
I want to ask the same thing about God. Where did God come from? Who created Him?
Excellent Question, Miranda!
The answer to your question is, God has always existed and has no beginning and no end. In other words, the Bible teaches that God is eternal. We can read that in any number of places including:
Deuteronomy 33:27
The eternal God is thy refuge.
and
Psalm 90:2
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
Now, if you are a theorist, you believe that 20 billion years ago, all the dirt got together for a big squish, a big spin, and a big bang. Where did all the dirt come from?” You know, who made matter? To which you’d reply, “I don’t know.”
Now, I believe, that about 6,000 years ago God created the heaven and the earth, and you have naturally asked, ‘and where did God come from?’ And I have no idea.
But you said, 20 billion years ago there was a big bang; and you don’t know where the dirt came from.
So basically, I believe: “In the beginning, God”; and you believe: “In the beginning, dirt.”
Don’t tell me my theory is religious, and your theory is scientific.
They are both religious. The news media tries to make it look like it is science versus religion. It’s not science versus religion; these are two religions. Evolution and creation are both religious. You have to believe in one or the other. The difference is the evolution religion is tax supported. That’s just one of many differences.
I like that you are acknowledging that we both have a belief based on the unknown.
Do you have any theories on what the purpose of other planets are? If God created everything from the Earth, then it seems the Earth would be the only planet of any value. I get the sun obviously, but Mercury? What’s the point?
I don’t have any personal theories because they would only be conjecture, but I can tell you what the Bible says.
1. God is Sovereign:
That means He does whatever he wants. This includes creating planets if He so desires. For example, Psalm 33:6 says:
“By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.”
2. Light, Time-keeping & Navigation:
Scripture tells us that God created the Sun, Moon and stars to give light (brightening the utter darkness of the night sky) and to assist mankind (Genesis 1:14-15, etc.). That’s right, one of the reasons that God made the Moon, solar system and stars was to provide a way for us to distinguish the passage of time (days, months and years) and predict the coming of seasons. Without these heavenly bodies, the job of keeping time and navigation would have been far more difficult. We learn from history that from the earliest days, ancient peoples used the movement of stars in producing their calendars and finding their way across great distances, just as God designed from the beginning. It may be that even some migrating birds make use of the constellations.
3. Glorifying the Creator
Another purpose for the myriad of stars and heavenly bodies is to bring glory to God—focusing man’s attention on the Creator’s awesome power and greatness. Psalm 19:1 states,
“The heavens declare the glory of God; and their expanse shows forth the work of His hands.”
4. Demonstration of God’s might and power
The vastness of the universe is a tremendous expression of God’s might and power. God is greater than we could ever imagine, even greater that His spectacular creation, the universe. Psalm 8:1,3,9 states,
“O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Thy name in all the earth, Who hast displayed Thy splendor above the heavens! …When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which Thou has ordained; …O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Thy name in all the earth!”
Now, the Best Answer selected for this exact question found in Yahoo Answers is this:
“Only Earth – which proves that the bible and everything in it was written by man, not god. There was not the scientific knowledge at that time to prove the existence of other planets, so none were mentioned. If the scriptures were written by god (through man, obviously) then they would have been mentioned.” -Oldgrump
With all due respect, that is completely incorrect. The purpose of the Bible is not to be God’s Encyclopedia Britannica to the world, providing answers to any possible question that we may invent; and therefore, if we can dream up a question whose answer is not found in the Bible, that proves that God does not exist. The purpose of the Bible is to explain our creation, rebellion against our Creator and how to walk rightly before Him by being forgiven of sin through faith in Jesus Christ who paid the penalty for your sins by death on the cross.
I can appreciate that response, and completely hate that such an idiot – oldgrump – is the representative of non-God-believers. His/her ignorance is very apparent. I’ve never read the bible but even I know that is completely ridiculous. Believing may come naturally or it may come through education such as what you have presented. Either way, what I find difficult is understanding the concept of something other than what I can see or could see given the equipment (telescope, microscope, etc). I guess I don’t have the “faith equipment” that others have.
Atleast science never claimed to have all the answers. Scientist admit that they dont know for sure what exactly happened 4.6 billion years ago when the earth was formed. thats the point of science, to discover answers through scientific methods. Deeply religious people claim with absolute certainty that they know for sure what happened (6000-10000) years ago, despite all the scietific evidence against it.
The evidence for evolution is undisputable, hundreds of thousands of fossils, carbon dating, DNA evidence for all species being linked together. just get out there and research it, read books, watch documentaries. the bible is not a book of science. how can a group of poor herdsmen wandering the desert possible know more about the scientific creation of the earth then present day scientist. It just doesnt make sense to me. Miranda if you want to read a good book read “The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution” by Prof. Richard Dawkins. A good funny movie about religion is called Religulous by Bill Maher. Look it up.
