“Did God spring forth from the Big Bang or was the Big Bang an Act of God?” Science cannot answer the question nor is it an appropriate area of discussion when discussing the EVIDENCE for the Big Bang and how it fits the theory.
“Or was God surprised by the whole Big Bang thing?” Same as above
“Or does God just not exist?” Same as above.
“Those are the 4 “Big Bang stories of creation” to consider.”
Isn't that just 3? Either way neither has ANYTHING to do AT ALL with the scientific theory of the “Big Bang” or the evidence that supports it.
If a teacher were to say “Science proves my religion of atheism” they should and would be fired - just as if a teacher were to say “Science proves my religion of Christianity” or “History proves my religion of Mormonism” or “Science proves my religion of Islam”.
Science is not atheism. Atheists of course must accept physical explanations for physical phenomena, but does it follow that believers must therefore always and exclusively accept supernatural explanations for physical phenomena?
Most scientists in the USA have faith in God.
“Did God spring forth from the Big Bang or was the Big Bang an Act of God?”
These are 2 different things. Have trouble parsing the concepts did you?
