The Big Bang - Theory or Not?

First let us consider what a theory is. Collins concise Dictionary gives us the following definitions.

1.       A system of rules, procedures, and assumptions used to produce a result.

2.       Abstract knowledge or reasoning.

3.       A conjectural view or idea.

4.       An ideal or hypothetical situation.

5.       A set of hypotheses related by logical or mathematical arguments to explain a wide variety of phenomena in general terms.

6.       A non-technical name for hypothesis.

Now looking at these definitions I see a theory (not reality) is based on assumptions, conjecture and hypothetical arguments. So where does reality come into the picture?

Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia tells us, “The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological model of the early development of the universe. The major premise of the Big Bang theory is that the universe was once in an extremely hot and dense state that expanded rapidly (a “Big Bang”). This rapid expansion caused the young universe to cool and resulted in its continuously expanding state.”

So according to the scientists that hold this theory as being true; the universe somehow was in a primitive form and suddenly there was a “Big Bang” resulting in a rapidly expanding universe. Sounds a bit far fetched to me!

Let’s get down to the real crux of the matter. This is another attempt of mankind to explain away God as the Creator of the universe. It’s the blind leading the blind into a ditch.

God’s word revealed to us in the holy Bible starts with these words, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”  (Genesis 1:1). God does not leave us in the dark; the first words in the first book of the Bible clearly state that God is the Creator of the universe! It does not leave room for error; “In the beginning God...” God was there in the beginning of our Space – Matter – Time universe. He created it!

What does the book of Romans in the New Testament reveal about early mankind?

Romans 1:17-25, (17) “...the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, ‘The just shall live by faith.’ (18) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, (19) because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. (20) For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, (21) because although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. (22) Professing to be wise, they became fools, (23) and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man – and birds and four- footed animals and creeping things. (24) Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonour their bodies among themselves, (25) who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.”

Is modern man any better? Of course not! You can believe that you descended from apes if you like. You can believe that you die and come back as a fly or a mosquito if you like. You can believe that when you die you go into oblivion. That’s what Satan wants you to believe!  “Professing to be wise they became fools.” Psalms 14:1, “The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God’.”

You know the Bible tells us about a Big Bang, but it is not a theory, it is reality.

2 Peter 3:10-13, (10) “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in the which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. (11) Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, (12) looking for and hastening the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? (13) Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.”

God sent a universal flood in Noah’s time in judgement. Next time it will be the real “Big Bang”. Noah and his family were safe because Noah obeyed God.

What about you? Are you trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ, as your Lord and Saviour? Will you be safe for all eternity? Will you be part of the new heavens and the new earth? Or, have you decided to go to hell and the lake of fire?

There is no such thing as ‘sitting on the fence’ waiting to decide. You are either saved, or you are not saved! You have no guarantee that you will see another sunrise!
