That is exactly how you would expect the universe to react if :-
(Genesis 1:3) God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
There are a lot of unbelievable stories in the bible, but the universe is full of mystery and unbelievable stories and unproven "theories" too.
I honestly used to be a strict atheist and thought religion was absolute ludacris and people were just brainwashed. I have actually come to realise that God is the only thing that makes sense.
That a ludacrous reading of Genesis. Let's look at those verses in context shall we?
Quote:In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. 3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
First of all before your proposed big bang theory there was a wind over the face of the waters? If the Bible is describing the big bang, what waters would those be and what atmosphere could be in motion to create a wind over them? It is only after that that god creates light. God then separates the light from the darkness and creates the first day and night. What the hell does separating the light from the dark mean?
I case you didn't get it, and most Christians gloss over it, Genesis describes not nothing before the creation but rather a void full of water:
Quote:And God said, “Let there be a dome in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” 7 So God made the dome and separated the waters that were under the dome from the waters that were above the dome. And it was so. 8 God called the dome Sky. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
So what I'm seeing here is a void full of water which was earth out of which god created the universe. God added light which he separated temporally into day and night before there was a sky or heavens. Then god made a dome separating water from water and called what was above the dome sky.
That's nothing like what we know about the beginning of either the universe or the earth. It is nothing like the big bang.
It sounds rather more like the ancient Greek creation myth:
Quote:In the beginning there was only chaos. Then out of the void appeared Erebus, the unknowable place where death dwells, and Night. All else was empty, silent, endless, darkness. Then somehow Love was born bringing a start of order. From Love came Light and Day. Once there was Light and Day, Gaea, the earth appeared.http://www.greekmythology.com/Myths/The_...ation.html
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
