The big bang, “first there was nothing and then it exploded” is on pretty solid ground. The fact that the math has not yet caught up is only slightly worry some. Now the expansion of the universe at an ever increasing rate is hard to believe since that indicates that someday the universe will be a vast nothing. That is hard to buy into.

Scientists may discover what evangelicals understand. God spoke and bang….it happened.

[Theophilous Meatyard III]

The galaxies will keep expanding into the vast universe, then in a gazillion years, matter will clump in the center of the universe, attracting more matter, and after another gazillion years, another big bang will take place in what we consider the center of the universe. And that will keep happening for a gazillion gazillion (times a gazillion) years until eternity fades away. Or something.

Unless you believe scripture saying there will be a new heaven/universe and a new earth.

I had always thought that the standard theory of the slow heat death of the universe over trillions of years was really depressing. The Big Rip appeals to me as a more exciting way to end the universe, and it fits the Bible’s predictions nicely where the heavens themselves will pass away in a dramatic way.

The end will be kind of like what happens in the book The Restaurant at the End of the Universe in Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy novel series.

The Big Rip is a pretty cool way for God to end the story IMHO.

Cheer up, better days are coming JP

Luke 21:33 Heaven and Earth shall pass away but My Words shall not pass away.
Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away.
Mark 12:31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but My Words shall not pass away.

On another note
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
