The origin of physical matter

Lessons from our hearts to yours.

What's really behind much of the Big Bang theory is not about science. It's about people wanting to believe that there is no Creator who made them and therefore no God to whom they are accountable for their actions. Big Bang is not about science. It's about philosophy. It's about what people want to believe. For most people it's not about trying to get the facts right.

Both the Big Bang and the Origin of the Species topics are about denying the existence or influence of God. Both are about telling God to take a hike while humans make their own choices. Evolution is about trying to escape accountability to the God who created us and will one day judge us. See Http://www.dovercoc.org/youth/evolution1.html for more discussion of that accountability. If evolution along with its Big Bang theory is right the Christian still has nothing to lose. But if Christianity is right and evolution is wrong, Hell will be full of people who wished they had read and believed their Bibles.

Evolutionist Aldous Huxley stated the real motivation for believing in evolution in 1937:

“I had motives for not wanting the world to have meaning; consequently, assumed it had none, and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption.... .... For myself, as no doubt for most of my contemporaries, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation. The liberation we desired was simultaneously liberation from a certain political and economic system and liberation from a certain system of morality. We objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom.” [emphasis ours]

Huxley, Aldous (1937), Ends and Means: An Inquiry into the Nature of Ideals and into the Methods Employed for Their Realization (New York: Harper), pp. 312,316.

The question is sometimes asked "Where did God come from?" God is everlasting. When Pharoah asked "who sent you?" to Moses the answer was that "I AM" sent us.Exo 3:14 "And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. "

The Big Bang theory has had many "band-aids." The longer scientists work with the theory of evolution, the more words they have to add to make it all work. We've been through so many scientific theories, only to have them discarded one after the other. Science doesn't know the answers to these important questions. The Bible does, and it doesn't change.

The Big Bang theory doesn't really take us back to the beginning like the Bible does. Where did the "basketball" or "pinhead" of tightly packed material come from? And why should it blow up, all on its own? Aren't we also being taught in school about cause and effect?

See Hebrews 13: 8 and James 1:17. God didn't have to change His message to keep it up to date.

There are more than two good reasons why we don't accept the Big Bang theory as an explanation of how the universe came into existence, but here are two:

1. It conflicts with the Bible, and we believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God (II Timothy 3: 16, 17).

2. Big Bang asks us to believe in an effect without a cause. That is, an original basketball-sized mass of material exploded all by itself and threw stuff everywhere that somehow ordered itself into planets, stars, asteroids, meteors, and other things. That's like having an explosion in a newspaper plant and expecting the pieces to fall to the ground as English dictionaries, all in alphabetical order, with all of the pronounciations correct, and all the definitions matched to the right words. If we were to suggest something similar to that in science class we would all get an F.
