Hi twinbanj,
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?
I guess it comes down to what one believes is
created. If by created you mean the universe, then science and religion, I believe, can co-exist. However, if by creation one means every single species, planet, solar system, etc, requires a hands on creator, then they cannot since evolution, and many other scientific theories, show evidence to the contrary.
A popular theory.
Popular amongst who...? Accepted by physicist seems better, don't you think?
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.
No explosion, nothing caused anything, matter required for planets appears much, much later.
Isn't it possible for the energy in the theorized big bang, to be a god?
It is not an explosion that takes a certain amount of energy. An explosion would need to happen at a point
in space and
in time, since there is no surrounding spacetime no such explosion can occur.
Compressed space expanded, where, right where you are right now, no energy required.
Is that God...?
Does that sound like any God you have ever heard of...?
Is God mearly any point in the history of our universe that needs a bit more explaining...?
Personally, the
God of the Gaps never seemed like a good argument. I respect more so fundamentalist who are forced to stick to scriptures and those scriptures can be challenged. People who take the
God of the Gaps approach are sneaky because they just keep moving the goal post to where ever it suits them.
