Why couldn't God have created the Big Bang, as well as evolution? This "either or" logic doesn't hold water, specially for those who believe in a non-denominational God.
I guess it is harder for bibliophiles, as well as koranophiles, since Big Bang and evolution negate their point of view. But, in my view, it only serves to reinforce my belief in God. Who/what other force could have come up with something so fantastic?
It boggles the human mind, to ponder anything like the Big Bang.
I have been privileged to spend most of my adult life working outdoors in isolated rural areas. Anyone who has ever seen a luna moth (or any one of a million other spectacular creatures) cannot question the authority of a divine Creator, unless he is an enervated blockhead.
There was a flock of wild turkeys foraging in one of the fields next to our house this morning. I watched them for a while before driving to work. I refuse to believe that turkeys are accidental, random occurences. Or that I am.
I am sipping a delightful Pinot Noir, with deep, charactful flavor. Is this not proof that God loves me, and wants me to be happy? Why would he reveal to me orchids, clouds, flying fish, and the love of my beautiful wife, if not to illustrate his divine majesty?
It is a sorry man who does not view God in everything he sees.
FYI a bibliophile is someone who loves books...
Getting back to your original point about Big Bang/Evolution...
Big Bang - This is actually not a huge problem with many creationists. All that it says is that our universe had a beggining (i.e. In the Beginning God created...) Many Creationists will tell you that a Big Bang requires a Big Banger. It's called "Creatio Ex Nihilo" or creation out of nothing. The Evolutionist has a serious problem because the First Law of thermodynamics says that matter (energy) cannot be created or destroyed. The Creationist belief that something outside of our universe was the causal agent for the starting point of the universe is supported by the "Creatio Ex Nihilo" belief.
