Being a biology student, but having many friends who are church going christians, ive always wonderd why Evolution and creationism are mutualy exclusive? Why can't they both, work side by side?
There are many scientists that believe in theistic evolutionism. They are not mutually exclusive terms. However one cannot prove the supernatural i.e. God through science because by its very definition science is used to describe and provide evidence for natural not supernatural phenomena.
I myself do not believe in the existence of the supernatural at this time due to the lack of evidence. Though if sufficient credible evidence is provided, I am not objected to switching my position.
A popular theory.
Mere popularity has little to do with it. Is it accepted by mainstream science due the preponderance of evidence supporting it. Yes.
According to this theory, a giant explosion caused all matter to be hurled appart which then swirled up into planets and then life came togerther on a planet (or planets) and evolved etc etc until we are here today.
Huntard explained this well enough I feel. It seems you need to do some more research on this subject.
Isn't it possible for the energy in the theorized big bang, to be a god?
Then you would have to be relinquished to say that the energy of heat which burns your toast in your toaster or the light energy of photons streaming from the sun is God as well. Most people's definition of God is the image of a sentient, thinking being. Energy in itself does not fit this category.
