SCIENCE & RELIGION
The Big Bang (BB)
1) all matter and energy in the universe is compressed into an infinitely dense and hot particle, known as a singularity
2) for unknown reasons, the singularity expands from the size of a grapefruit in a fraction of a second
3) after 3 mins, universe expanded a great deal and is a superhot 'fog' of simple particles - it's still too hot for atoms to form.
4) at 300,000 years the universe is 10,000 degrees C and helium and hydrogen atoms can form and the first light can shine
-
6) the first stars die and explode after around 14 billion years. These throw heavier elements into space, including Carbon. These will eventually form into new stars and planets
Steady State theory
-
-
Physicists (e.g. Fred Hoyle) would claim there is a limited amount of matter in the universe and that is changing in form, so when the sun explodes, the energy that is released can become other aspects in the universe
We do not need to think about a starting point for the universe, all we need to do is to accept that changes in the nature of the universe are always happening and that matter and energy are just different forms of the same thing
this theory was once believed, but most scientists disagree with it nowadays
Evolution & Darwin
-
fundamentalists
-
arguments against macroevolution: God revealed creation story to early humans so must be factually correct
-
there are missing links in the fossil record and so evolutionists just make things up to fit their account
-
-
-
macro evolution= species changed from one to another e.g. all dogs came from a grey wolf which came from an insectivore (a squirrel like creature) and so on. Humans came from apes. Giraffes came from pre-okapi (a short version of a giraffe)
-
Hindu creation story
- Before there was no heaven, earth or sky, only nothingness, endless sea of darkness
- a great snake floated on the sea, its great coils protecting lord Vishnu
- Vishnu lay still, silence and peace reigning, suddenly a deep humming sound began to vibrate the seas with a low Aum
- Vishnu awoke sensing the night had ended. As dawn broke, a lotus flower appeared out of Vishnu's naval, revealing Brahma sitting in the middle. Vishnu said to Brahma "it's time to begin"
- At Vishnu's command, a wind swept up the waters, making waves in the sea. He & the snake then disappeared, leaving Brahma floating in the lotus flower
- he created grasses, flowers, trees & plants
- he then created many animals and he gave each creature senses. His creation was done - the air was full of sound and the earth was full of life

arguments for BBTheory
-
-
there is evidence e.g, continual expansion of the universe, we can see stars moving away from us through a telescope, we can pick up microwave radiation left over from the Big Bang & cosmic microwave background radiation
