Science doesn’t enjoy being wrong, but it should, as it happens all the time. Remember when the Earth was flat? Sure, you could argue that that’s from an old uneducated science – or mockery of science depending how critical you’d like to get, but you get our point.
The same thing still goes on today – take for instance, the Big Bang Theory. From whence sprang the universe is a difficult question indeed. What drives us nuts is that instead of giving an always honorable and forthright “I don’t know,” we get a theory some quack dreamed up while scrubbing his nethers in a bubble bath.
All indicators seem to point to The Big Bang Theory being wrong, or at least extremely incomplete.
The Big Bang Theory stems from scientists noticing that the universe seems to be expanding from a central point – and at a rapid pace. This is implying that everything was thrust outward by one big and powerful force – i.e. the Big Bang.
Something exploded, a cloud of gases, an atom, whatever… it’s not relevant – it’s supposed to have been the kick start of evolution. What we want to know is what was around before that gigantic universal clap. The theory fails to answer that.
The fact is there’s no such thing as nothing – it’s an impossibility. Bare minimum you’d have a big empty space, but that’s still something. That being true, something must have always existed – always. What exactly we can’t tell you, but it has to be true. Something must have made those gases, atoms, vast arrays of molotov cocktails… or whatever it was that caused that explosion.
If something always has existed, then we can plausibly extrapolate it further by saying something will always exist. Sure, eventually our sun will expand, swallowing our sweet blue planet (Don’t worry, hecklerspray has a spaceship – sorry it’s a two seater), and that may spell the end for Earth, but not the end of all. Even if every living thing in the universe came to a screeching halt, and all matter evaporated to nothing, we’d still have a big black vacuum – and that’s still something.
Stupid Science. Thanks for the cars, instant oatmeal and dog shock collars, but leave everything else the hell alone. If you would please. Sir.

I agree that the big bang theory is false, and I can prove that through Science itself:
Science states:
Everything has a beginning
Energy cannot be created or destroyed
Molecules are made of energy
now that we have those, lets look at this:
big bang theory says that there is the possibility of a series of big bangs leading up to this, so lets look at the first:
where did the gas and rock and whatever was there come from for there to even BE a big bang? Science can’t explain that, so for now, faith is the only thing that could be true, and which faith you choose could be right or wrong, but one thing is for sure, in the end, we will all know whose been right all along, and whose been dead wrong. my faith is in Yahweh(God), and that He made the universe, so, I guess when we die, we will see if my faith is correct or not, but I truly believe it is.
God Bless You,

Dear Dustin,
Sounds like you are on the right track. Faith in God is not a leap in the dark, it is a reasonable faith. As we look at the complexity of the universe, and look at the complexity in the cell, there is no way that all of this could have made itself – even if you give it billions of years. There must be a Designer more intelligent than His creation, Greater than His entire creation, and, amazingly, desiring to make Himself known to us, His creation. Keep thinking!

i agree with you that the big bang Theory is wrong because according to Islam The Quran mentions:
“Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, then We separated them, and made from water every living thing? Then will they not believe?” (Quran 21:30) and there are man more reference
I “knew” the big bang theory was too strange to take seriously when I first heard of it in the 8th Grade in 1964, but instead of it disappearing it just has gotten stronger over time. The psychology, religion, and politics behind the tyranny of this popular myth is much more interesting than the simple primordial seed in nothingness theory itself.
It is like a Genesis Plot or brain washing system.
Why things change so slowly and such mythology persists is just bizarre to me.
That’s just part of what humanity is and does I suppose. But it is changing and the world wide web is helping a great deal to educate people and to spread creative thinking and real live logic.
Thanks for the heart warming blog.
So Matt, if the Big Bang is too strange to take seriously, how do you think the universe (and us) got here? We are here. Are mater and energy eternal? If matter and energy had a beginning, what brought them forth from nothing? And where did the laws of the universe come from? When or from Whom did they come? Although belief in God may seem illogical, it is the only logical theory left standing. I am like “readquran”, in that I believe the Bible as authoritative (not the quran). But again, this is not a blind leap in the dark, nor the result of brainwashing, but logical testable faith. What are your theories, Matt?
