That's NOT what BB cosmology states at all. BB states that the universe began to expand at the BB. Our local presentation of the universe began at the time of the BB. It is entirely possible that the universe existed in some form before expansion, and the BB was only a change in state.
Quote:Genesis 1:2 “The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.”

All the other Genesis chapter 1 verses are secularly accurate as well*. Therefore, God.
*There are no 'what abouts'?
As already pointed out, Genesis gets almost nothing correct about the actual history of the universe and earth.

If or when we contact other intelligent life elsewhere in this vast universe, I sincerely expect that they will have their own numinous relationship. "There is no meaning to all this stuff" is not an answer, either. Maybe extraterrestrials will convince you, if your own kind, cannot.[Lol, imagine they actually look like the Flying Spaghetti Monster?]
I am not claiming that video describes all gods believed in by humanity, but there sure are a lot of people that do believe in a god very similar to the one the video is depicting.
You do remember, that the god in the vid is called Yahweh, right? That is a specific mythological god described in some ancient texts, that pretty closely lines up with the video.
If you are believe in a different god, then the video does not refer to you.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
