Works for me.
check out the hateful comments by the atheists under the comments.
The scientific aspects of our development is simply God’s recipe for our creation. It shows that something comes from somewhere, not nothing.
Talk about having to review the basics for the truly ignorant.
You bet your life He was. Good for the Pope to say so clearly.
I’m happy for the science guys to delve into the “hows” of the creation of the universe. Whatever they find is sure to be fascinating, it always is.
God is the author of the universe. I’m not sure why some think the “how” negates somehow the “who”. It never does.
Go Pope B!
God’s Word is not number one with the RCC but their man made doctrine. It’s no wonder how the Pope is mislead.
God spoke the world into existence - something ‘man’ can’t wrap their heads around - so they inserting what ‘they think’.
Man with their human senses cannot understand the Supernatural - so they agree with whatever man comes up with what makes ‘sense’ to them. The blind leading the blind.
Big bang theory makes sense. God said “BANG!” and the universe came into existence.
Bible says the three kings reached the site where Jesus was born by following a star.

Hmmm not quite.
According to God Himself, he didn’t create the sun, moon or stars until the 4th day.
But He says He created light on the first. Which would make sense only today when we consider the speed of light and the distance of the stars.
So the Bible tells us He actually created light first and put it in motion before their sources were created. Otherwise most of our night sky would still be pitch black.
Truth is, it’s so far beyond our understanding that to give a guy with a telescope and a calculator the crown that he actually KNOWS what he’s talking about and how it all came to be is beyond absurd. Big Bang? How about Big Suckers?
Uh, wrong! God created the heavens and the earth, but He did not use the Big Bang!
behind the big bang . . . why didn’t I think of that?
And it banged big not so long ago, 6 thousand and some change years.
I’m so glad to hear this, because the quantum fluctuation thing was making me nauseous.
Everything is allegory with the Roman Catholic church: where it is clearly in Scripture that a literal reading and Biblical interpretation is required: which the Holy Spirit has been given to us Christians in HIS ministry to provide insight and teachings by the LORD GOD in all matters of faith and Bible doctrine rightly divided.
With the Roman Catholic's, God’s Word is not number one; rather it is second only to their man made traditions and notion of works oriented doctrines. It’s clear that the Pope is mislead on evolution concepts...
I know exactly what the Pope believes: it is Theistic evolution: since the 'pope' is not an Atheist, nor does he believe in Intelligent Design; but rather the Biblical literal believer on Creationism is correct as recorded in Genesis 1-2 and Exodus 20:11: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth... and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
If any Roman Catholic cared to read the Bible in Exodus 20 in keep the context reference understood, he/she will learn from the LORD GOD that HE used a 24-hour day to create each day, the LORD GOD did not use Theistic evolution, e.g., Big Bang!
While Theistic evolution and creation are similar in concept; where they differ is precisely where Theistic evolution fails to accept the 24-hour Biblical day that the LORD GOD clearly communicated to us in Genesis and Exodus in regards to it as ONLY six days; not six million trillion days...etc...
God spoke the world into existence in only SIX literal days: Genesis 1-2 and Exodus 20 are absolute proofs. But Supernatural Creationism is something that ‘man’ can’t wrap their heads, resulting in contemplating only what ‘they think’ occurred.
Man will always seek to utilize their human senses to try to understand God; but man's senses cannot understand the Supernatural Creation that the LORD GOD utilized in HIS creative acts in Genesis, so as a result, Roman Catholics agree with whatever scientist come up with that makes ‘sense’ to them. The blind scientist leading the blind religious system.
Either you believe what man 'thinks' or what the LORD GOD created!
The big bang idea was never based on anything better than the idea of an expanding universe which itself was never based on anything better than a misunderstanding of cosmic redshift. In real life, the universe is not expanding, and there never was a big bang.

That's the scientific view of the thing. Nonetheless a rational person shouldn't even need science to reject the big bang idea; it should have been rejected on philosophical first principles on day one. Having all the mass of the universe collapsed to a point would be the mother of all black holes. How in hell is anything supposed to "bang" its way out of that?
Moreover, how is this supposed to have happened at a finite point in time 17B years ago? The expanse of time prior to that would be infinite...
Likewise, there is a question of yuppies claiming that "There wasn't any time before the big bang"... That's basically idiotic. Does that mean that my Japanese Timex watch wouldn't work before the "Big Bang(TM)"?? I mean, the thing came with a guarantee...
Likewise I hear Christian yuppies claiming that they like the big bang idea because it amounts to a creation story of sorts, and must somehow or other be compatible with the creation story of Genesis.
It isn't. Big Bang is bad physics and bad theology rolled into a package. I don't picture a supposedly omniscient and omnipotent God all of a sudden deciding that creating a universe would be a cool thing to do while the idea had never occurred to him previously, and whether that is supposed to have happened 6K or 17B years ago doesn't matter. The evidence indicates that the universe, like God, is eternal, and that the creation stories we read refer to the creation of our living world, as per Genesis, something like 6K - 10K years ago. The Earth viewed as a collection of rocks is older than that.
The other part of the thing which is junk science is the idea of black holes based on gravity, which is by many orders of magnitude the weakest force in nature. Merely asking gravity to hold our sun and Alpha Centauri together is like asking gravity to hold two microscopic dust motes together from four miles distance; how in hell is this same weakest force supposed to collapse whole major cosmic objects into black holes??
