Creationism & Hubble

Published on December 13, 2004 By stevendedalus In Religion

Creationists must go ballistic when reports of Hubble’s peering back into time approaching 14 billion years.

Is it a matter of human ego that the universe was created by a Judea-Christian God? Surely, the believer of the Big Bang must feel hurt that he has not been graced by the will of God. For where lies the satisfaction whose beginnings is a mere piece of erratic stardust?

So, you believe that a person who does not accept the theory of Creationism does not believe in the existance of an afterlife?

Why not. An expanding then contracting universe. We could be living in the 4th or 5th incarnation of the universe. Each new big bang giving rise to a new shuffling of the cosmic cards. Creation and destruction played out on the unfathomably grand scale.

Over and over until an ending event or until the cause has stopped.

It wasn't something from nothing

That's the question. Isn't it. what was there before the big bang, and if the universe is expanding, what is it expanding into?

That is faith. because Scientist dont have the answers, so any answer to how the Big Bang was created is not science, it is a religion.

Gotcha!

I would think it is more theory, a hypothesis based on evidence, than religion, unless you consider having faith in science a religion.

No,that is the trap. For science says nothing of what preceeded the big bang, not even a theory. So if one is to 'believe' any hypothesis, it is not based upon science, but faith.

Science always has a theory: Link

It is just that they are not sure. It is a theory that has to be proved or disproved. This will come with time and scientific advancements in detection and observation.

Also, a hypothesis is not be be "believed". It is a thought that has to be verified.

And it is not mainstream. For there is no evidence to even form a hypothesis. Such is faith! Even scientist have it!
