The Big Bang Myth

Introduction

Welcome to the first entry of my first blog, titled The Big Bang Myth. I have no plans to devote this blog to any particular subject matter, so you may expect to see blog posts on a wide range of topics including Christianity, science, mathematics, electronics, computer programming, history, politics and anything else I may feel the need to comment on. I am a Christian first and foremost, and I pray whatever I may write, that it bring glory to God.

As a matter of integrity, I deplore the very notion of political correctness so be forewarned, you will likely read here what many would consider distasteful or offensive. This doesn't mean I like to be offensive, nor does it mean I would be critical about matters of taste such as the color of someone's “goofy looking” glasses. What it means is I won't trade moral truth for popularity or the sake of unity. If I am aware of a trend in society that goes against what is written in the Bible, sooner or later I'm probably going to publish something about it, and its not going to be in line with the popular view.

Why The Big Bang Myth?

"The Big Bang Myth" isn't necessarily referring just to the supposed 'big bang', but is meant to address the more generalised problem of science as faith.

Although the theory of the big bang is written as theory in many school texts, it is often taught as unquestionable truth. In some science circles, calling things like evolution or the big bang 'theories' is likely to make you a target of hostility and ridicule. Scientists pride themselves as discoverers and guardians of truth, but the reality is, they foster an environment where political correctness is valued above truth and true critical thinking, any thought that opposes the religion of science, is discouraged.

From the perspective of science, evolution and the big bang become huge issues when seen as nothing but unproven theory because there has been a lot of research done that relies on the correctness of these theories to validate their findings. In some cases, the very premise of a research project is supported by the assumption that these base theories are correct. If God were to suddenly show Himself to the world in some completely undeniable way, and tell every person on the planet that the base theories of evolution and the big bang were fundamentally flawed, a huge portion of research would either be beyond repair or require extensive reworking to make it correct. In other words, the scientific community has a lot invested in theories that have not been proven correct.

This is a huge issue in terms of impartiality as well. Scientists are supposed to hold a neutral position where it should not matter whether a theory is proven right or wrong. Either way, something new is learned and knowledge is gained. When it came to theories like evolution and the big bang, instead of waiting for incontravertible evidence, they put all their eggs in this one atheistic basket, going on faith that the handle was going to hold. The handle now holds on through the use of a lot of duct tape in the form of theories meant to prop up evolution. The big bang is one of those theories which attempts to stay in line with evolution by showing that planets, solar systems and galaxies essentially follow the same process as biological evolution.

The problem with godless theories that attempt to explain the formation of our universe is they always see it from the point of human logic. With human intellect, it is very difficult to grasp concepts such as infinity, especially in relation to time, and the idea that there was a time when the universe just wasn't. Even an attempt at describing the problem is a failure because as a human, I have to apply universal concepts such as time, to a problem that is extra-universal in nature. There will always be the question of what was before and a scientific establishment that refuses to acknowledge God's existence will always foolishly attempt to provide answers. For example, scientists are currently developing the theory of a 'pre-big bang' universe in the field of string theory. I won't go into too much detail, but the idea behind it is some kind of 'something' called 'branes' inside a hidden dimension which, when they collide produce a big bang and a new universe. Someone will again ask the question “what came before?” Science in it's foolishness will again try to find an answer. All these 'answers', which have their root in evolution, will build to a point where the prevailing 'facts' resulting from the theory are much bigger than the theory itself. At this point, which I believe we have passed, we will have myth instead of truth.
