To: I want the USA back

I know it’s a simplistic view, but it’s what I believe:

I believe in the Big Bang. God said “Let there be..” and BANG! there it was.

Your post reminded me of this classic panel from a comic book back in the 1980s, where an evil being tried to get a glimpse of the beginning of time. I've often thought it might just have happened that way.

You realize that the father of the Big Bang theory was a Jesuit priest, Monseigneur Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître. Pius XII tried to get MGR Lemaître to endorse the idea that the Big Bang theory verified the Genesis account of the creation of the Universe, which Lemaître firmly resisted. Pius XII also wanted Lemaître to serve on a Vatican panel on birth control, and again he demurred, claiming to have no particular insight into the issue.

Einstein initially refused to accept the idea of an expanding universe; Lemaître recalled him commenting"Vos calculs sont corrects, mais votre physique est abominable"

One must accept, n'est-ce pas, that is was a playful God who created a new universe with abundant evidence that it was almost 14 billion years old.

I will never understand Christians objecting to the Big Bang Theory. It is merely Genesis 1:1 expressed in different language.

Except it makes no claim to know why the BB happened.
