THE BIG BANG THEORY

In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days He has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things , and through whom He made the universe.  Hebrews 1:1 and 2 NIV

Paul says, “By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible”.  Hebrews 11:2 NIV

The scientific community says, “Approximately 13.7 billion years ago, the entirety of our universe was compressed into the confines of an atomic nucleus.  Known as a singularity, this is the moment before creation when space and time did not exist.  According to the prevailing cosmological models that explain our universe, an ineffable explosion, trillions of degrees in temperature….created not only fundamental subatomic particles and, thus, matter and energy, but space and time itself”.

Nearly 1,900 years before Einstein formulated his Theory of Relativity and during a time when scholars of the day were still debating whether the Earth was flat or round, Paul already knew what the scientific community is just now trying to describe in scientific jargon – The Big Bang Theory.

Both the statement made by Paul and the scientific community are saying the same thing.  In the phrase,"ineffable explosion", the word ineffable in most dictionaries is defined as, “too great or intense to be expressed in words”.   Since there is no natural phenomenon that has ever been observed with the magnitude needed or which can be theorized to produce an explosion of the magnitude needed to create the framework for the entire known natural universe, then the scientific community’s Big Bang Theory is a most incomplete theory. 

A complete and credible theory is one that can produce a supposition for all assumptions.  Paul’s theory, which we believe by faith, is a complete and credible theory.  Since, by implication, it states that there is no known natural phenomenon that can produce an explosion of the magnitude needed to create the framework for the entire known natural universe, then the explosion must have been catalyzed supernaturally.  In other words, and as Paul said, God did it through His Living Word, Jesus.

Father God, Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, help us to ask, seek, and knock so we will gain more understanding of You.  Fill us with Your knowledge and Your wisdom so we can stand ready to daily raise a standard before a world of unbelievers.  In the name of Jesus, we ask these things and give You the praise for them.  Amen and so be it.  Amen and so be it.
