The Great Debate Regarding Creation

The Great Debate

Creation by God? The Big Bang? Books, manuscripts, scientific papers, scriptural works, documentaries, ancient artifacts, and countless web sites all deliver differing theories, most with finales of doom. One could logically suppose that a big boom did occur when this mysterious form of existence sprang into being.

Attempting to argue the theories surrounding the birth of the universe, one by the hand of a Supreme Being and the other by an instantaneous explosion of energy, is a useless debate and huge waste of time. Proponents on each side will fervently defend their respective position. Then there are those pesky, relentless Libras adamantly looking for balance who linger somewhere in the middle. They propose that the two theories may not be completely divergent. The time has come to waste some time.

Note: Science does not claim to be a religion and faith-based beliefs are not dependant on physical evidence. Discussing the two processes as equal alternatives will only initiate a needless, heated, and bitter rivalry.

The Hand of Creation

Believing in Creation by God is having faith that the unseen created matter, energy, space, time, and all living things. God is the eternal, self-existent, omnipotent force who designs, creates, and exceeds physical reality.

Overwhelming evidence exists that the majority of known civilizations inhabiting this planet over millennia believed in a God, or Gods, or oodles of Gods who created and ruled the universe. Ancient manuscripts, drawings on cave walls and rocks, and traditional, oral histories illustrate the enormous faith man has always possessed in the existence of powerful, divine beings. Many of those civilizations developed a decent understanding of the cosmos. ...

...t the universe was discovered. The leftover energy from a colossal explosion had created a CMB, or cosmic microwave background. The Big Bang had occurred.

For many years after Hubble’s discovery, members of the scientific community generally agreed with the Singularity Theory proposed by Dr. Stephen Hawking and Sir Roger Penrose. They suggested that in the beginning of the universe, about 13.7 billion years ago, space and time did not exist. A dense, compressed nucleus, called a singularity, was hanging out alone in a sea of nothingness. The singularity was not inside of space and time; space and time were inside of the singularity. The instantaneous explosion of this hot, dense nucleus, aka the Big Bang, was an energy blast like no other. Space, time, the laws of physics, the foundation for all matter, and the forces of nature were all defined in that one moment.
