Universe from Nothing?

[Angrboda]

Sigh, why do Christians often say the universe came from nothing according to the big bang. The big bang says nothing about what came before it, there could have been a universe where all matter orbited a giant purple elephant for all we know. However as a biblical literalist, you must believe god created the universe form nothing as the bible says that.

Theology and science. If you're gonna fuck up the first, you might as well fuck up the second, just to be consistent.
