When God created Adam and Eve, He created them as mature humans. So to with the universe.

Stephen Hawking has expressed that physics has indicated to him that there MUST be a God. So I'd say it's certainly possible. If you feel you must literally interpret your religious text of choice, then believing the validity of Big Bang cosmology becomes somewhat more difficult.

As for me, I'd love to think there's something bigger out there... But until I see what it is, the search must go on and I will assert nothing.

GOD "Said" let there be... He spoke the universe into existance. The expanding universe that the scientist see is just GODs voice moving in all directions at the speed of sound through absolutly nothing while still creating. Simply because it looks as if something exploded and is moving away from a center point does not make it the reaction of an explosion. The center point it is moving away from is the Creator. What was there to explode in the first place and what caused it to explode? Nothing. In the beginning, there was nothing in the physical realm.

Nice attempt but I'm pretty sure that no one actually believes its the sound waves from Gods actual voice. In that sense, "The voice of God" cannot be heard by the human ear nor measured by anything but the soul... Which would also lay upon the same frequency.

Its funny how most cannot help but attune God with man and the physical realm

My mistake. GOD is light so it only stands to reason that his creation is still creating at the speed of light. Thank you for refreshing my memory stieviebeezie. It has been years since I first conceived the reality of the multiverse.

So why not, we know that God created everything, I have no problem beleiving that God created it with a "bang"

While I personally don't believe it that way, I think God created it fully developed, I will not disrespect a person who still has their faith in Jesus as God's Son because they believe God created it by creating all matieral from nothing and allowing the laws of nature to take effect.

And then again, some one here may have hit the nail spuare on the head and we still wouldn't know for certain. It's all a matter of how you translate what you see around you and what makes you comfortable. If some one tells me they have the final answer, I just look at them and smile and say,"Good for you!"

I personally feel that you can believe in both and not be contradicting yourself. Merely because its a possiblity that god was the one who allowed the ''Big Bang'' to happen in the first place. Now, I myself, believe in the here and now. I'm not too concerned with how it all began or how I got here. What's more important to me, is what to do with myself and my time on this earth. We live but a short time anyway.

The theory would only be unnacceptable to believers in God if it required no God to be involved by default. Actually that's mind-set adopted by most BB theorists. However, there is nothing in the theory itself that requires the exclusion of a Creator.
