JMM Wrote:To atheists, the idea of intelligent design is an absurd notion hardly worth their time for discussion. But we are then left with "How did the universe come to exist?" Several theories have emerged over the years, the most prominent of which seems to be the idea of a "BIg-Bang." That is, the idea of quantum fluctuations resulting in the spontaneous 'creation' of the universe we exist in. But is this theory not just as equally absurd as the intelligent design theory that their exists a "god" who created the universe and all life within it? It all boils down to two seemingly, equally far-fetched (to use this lightly) ideas:
A) Big-Bang- Principally, something came from nothing (illogical), and from this something, life emerged through evolution, continued to evolve and has led to where we are today.
or...
B) Intelligent design- A God created all things in the universe, including man, and endowed us with reason, knowledge and all of the qualities that define him.
Both theories are perfectly illogical and equally unprovable, so- why then do we choose one over the other and base our entire beliefs and often world-views on them? If your unaware, I am a christian and therefore a believer in Intelligent design
I dont think he has a proper understanding of the evidence surrounding the BB and how it actually shows God created the universe ex nihilio, but I agree with his main point and it is mine. You do not have a BETTER explanation.
If you agree with that guy, then to be blunt (despite a thread that was brought up recently) then you're a moron.
The difference between the Big Bang (which isn't that something came from nothing, like the guy you quoted) and Intelligent Design, is that one is formulated based off of scientific fact, and peer reviewed testing, and the other is just an idea that was tossed out there with nothing to back it up.
Also, the statement you said that "The big bang shows God created the universe" is a non-sequitor. That's like saying that because I got Dunkin Donuts this morning, that means a man from Colombia riding a horse made it for me.
Apparently you haven't been reading ANY of our posts, because you're still repeating the same crap from since page 1. We've answered you numerous times.
Before you even begin to post again, I suggest you go back and read the answers provided. You've obviously skipped and ignored everything told to you.
I like the way you think!
