Just a few weeks ago, I wrote about a lengthy article highlighting a total rewrite of the origin of life and the conditions supposedly on earth at the time. Well, the same outlet recently published another, equally lengthy, article—this time highlighting big problems with the big bang model.
The article says in the introduction,
This extraordinary theory [the big bang] is supported by a wide range of astronomical evidence, is broadly accepted by the scientific community, and has (a least by name) become embedded in popular culture.
We shouldn’t get too comfortable. Although it tells an altogether remarkable story, the current Big Bang theory leaves us with many unsatisfactorily unanswered questions, and recent astronomical observations threaten to undermine it completely. The Big Bang theory may very soon be in crisis.
So once again, a key part of the naturalistic origins story is failing because it’s not confirmed by observational evidence.
God’s Word is eternal. Man’s ideas are not.
Many Christians love to use the big bang as “proof” of a Creator. They’ll say, “Look, science shows there had to have been a beginning. God was the ‘first cause’ who started everything.” But what do those Christians do now that scientists are abandoning or seriously rethinking the big bang? Will they jump on the bandwagon of a multiverse or eternal universe or aliens or whatever new idea scientists propose next?
We should never hitch God’s Word to man’s ideas! We start with God’s Word first. It’s the foundation; it’s the framework through which we interpret the world; it’s the starting point for the scientific and explanatory models that we build. God’s Word is eternal, unchanging, and always accurate. Man’s ideas are fallible and constantly subject to rewriting as we learn more about God’s universe. We’ve been saying all along that Christians can’t add the big bang model (which is built on atheism) into Genesis! That’s compromising God’s Word with a pagan religion.
God didn’t use the big bang, so it’s no surprise the idea is falling apart. Observational science will always confirm God’s Word because God’s Word is true . . . from the very first verse!
