AND THEN IT EXPLODED!

I cant believe people actually believe in the big bang.
I would believe in god before the big bang anyday.

First there was nothing, then a huge hydrogen inrush, then a big explosion forcing matter and anti-matter to be scattered all through what was to become the universe. This happened as far back as 17,000,000,000 years ago, and when things started to cool down and coalesce, galaxies formed and then planets. Our solar system formed from the orc cloud that was developed when our sun came into being around 5,000,000,000 years ago, and the earth was formed and cooled around 500 million years later. The first life on earth, microbial deposits appeared around 1,500,000,000 years ago, and jelly-fish appeared around 600 million years ago. Dinosaurs were here between 300,000,000 and 65,000,000 years ago, and humans, which developed from primates didn't appear until roughly 5,000,000 years ago. Religion (or God) was created by man during the neolithic age, which was 50,000 to 20,000 years ago. The flood spoken of in the Bible occured in the Black Sea region at the end of the last great ice age, Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by an earthquake and volcanic eruption on the shore of the Dead Sea around 2650 BCE, and Christ was born around 6 BCE. The Bible was put together under the order of Emperor Constantine in 312 CE from books that were meant to represent historic events, but which were actually re-written to have a supernatural aspect due to political intervention. Only 66 of the original 100 were used for this reason. Nero was the antichrist that was referred to in the Gospels, but because of the sensitivity of the time, his name and identity were hidden. The Christian Inquisitions were held btween the 12th century CE and the 17th century CE, the Islamic religion was founded by Mohammed at around 700 CE, and the Church of England (Protestantism) and Lutheran churches were founded in the 16th centuries by Henry VIII and Martin Luther respectively.

Basically man created God, not the other way around.

PrupQon is not saying she believes in god she is saying she doesn't believe in the big bang. There are other possiblities more credible than creationism.

It is always difficult to know for sure if we have really found the energy left over from the big bang.

Read up on cosmology. I find it far more compelling than any religious hokum.

How do you explain the existence of God? He just always was? Yeah, that makes sense, too. There is no plausable explanation for where God came from.

OK Scientists, has anyone come up with a plausible explaination for where the Universe came from?

As I said, hydrogen inrush caused by atomic reaction roughly 17,000,000,000 year ago. Easy. I'll accept that.

let's see...what's more believable...some invisible all powerful being created and designated every single mathematical balance and set things up so that this planet would eventually have the necessary means and properties available to support life.


or....it was just all random and things eventually fell into place after more time than anyone here can fathom....and which is why people choose the idea of something creating it instead because the vastness is then turned into just some little craftsman project.


it's really not that hard to believe if you can actually conceptualize infinity.


but hey, if you could do that, i guess you wouldn't need such a finite description and explanation as some being creating everything.

At first there was nothing...

Its impossible that nothing existed first,simply because nothing does not exist.
And nothing cannot became something,since that is logical contradiction.
Only being exists,non being does not exist....ergo there is only being (existence).

Things that exist cannot be created from non-existence,and cannot be turned into non-existence.

//As I said, hydrogen inrush caused by atomic reaction roughly 17,000,000,000 year ago.//

I meant where did the atomic reaction that created the hydrogen inrush that created the universe come from, numbnuts _

I'm actually a strong atheist as far a personal God is concerned; I just wonder how even if the universe is infinite and eternal, why it's there atall Especially when, after reading Nagarjuna, I get the distinct impression that everything that appears to exist is just spun out of nothingness anyway!!

//it was just all random and things eventually fell into place//

Interesting. What was it that was random?

I like Russel Humprey's version of the Big Bang better than the one accepted by Hawkman.

If I say it enough maybe memetic drift will inspire others. The Universe is God. God is the Universe. We are part of the Universe. We are a part of God. The Universe is a part of us. If I do not exist, the Universe does not exist. If the Universe does not exist, I do not exist. Etc, etc.
