FAMILY THEME: DOES THE BIG BANG FIT WITH THE BIBLE?

Genesis 1:1 ; Hebrews 11:1-3 ; Romans 1:18-20 ; Psalm 19:1

Many Christians want to find a way to harmonize the naturalistic

explanations of creation with the Biblical accounts. Can this be 

done?

1.  The Naturalistic View of the Big Bang Does Not Fit Scripture,

     Nor Does It Truly Explain Where Matter Ultimately Came From

     (Genesis 1:1)

     The Big Bang theory requires existing matter to become

     concentrated and then explode. One problem with this

     theory is the question, where did this matter come from?

 
2.  All Theories About the Origin of the Universe Require Faith

     (Hebrews 11:1-3)

     None of the theories of creation are observable or

     reproducible. Each view is shaped by the worldview

     of the individual.

     

3.  The Order and Design of the Universe Do Not Fit an

     Accidental, Naturalistic Big Bang

     (Romans 1:18-20 ; Psalm 19:1 ; Psalm 148)

     Acknowledging order and design in the universe is

     critical when deciding what origin account is most

     probable.
