    And that's why the concept of divine intervention was born. Over history, anything our little minds could not understand was attributed to a god of some sort. Not much has changed, except now our major religions have reduced the divine pantheon to one supreme god. Not much progress, really...
    Very nice post.. maybe too much to handle for the Jesus people here tho

        Allright, if the Big Bang happened and let's say that we know it happened. What makes you think our universe is the only one? Just because there was nothing here before, doesn't mean there was nothing elsewhere.

        So the "then who made god" doesn't apply here.

          Exactly - I'm an agnostic - I can't say anything for certain - anyone who says they can is full of shit. I only put forth the theories that seem to make the most logical sense.

              Second of all, I know that the universe is not random. If it was random, life on earth would not exist.

              My point was that to have RULES AND LAWS, you need to create them in the first place.

                Pascal's wager....

                'it was proposed by the brilliant mathematician Blaise Pascal, that if you believe in god and god does not exist, then you lose nothing, but if you don't believe and he does exist, you could potentially go to hell. So the smarter thing to do is to believe.'

                        I am talking about a poinf of view where a superior intelligent form (God) pushed the button a created a Big Bang.

                        Atheists don't need to give you an answer.

                        To the question of explaining the "Big Bang" --there may be no one word answer, nor a one sentence answer, nor even an answer that would fit in a book.

                        Nobody knows the answer to the complete explanation of the Big Bang, as far as I can tell. But that is a totally different question than the one about God. You are mixing apples and oranges.

                        Your question is illogical. You are trying to give credence to your theory of God by asking atheists to disprove it. Somehow you are trying to use general uncertainty about the Big Bang to prove God.

                        The bottom line: the burden of proof for a theory, such as the theory of God, is on the person(s) positing the theory --not on the world to disprove it.

                        Lack of knowledge about the Big Bang doesn't prove God, it only proves we have alot to learn.

                          If you think really long and hard about the fact that the Universe is "everything" in it's most literal sense, your brain will actually start to hurt.

                            As was mentioned.. it could be an answer that is so complex that our comprehensive abilities couldn't come close to getting it...

                            Or .. it could be that we think something as never ending as the universe is so complex, when in actuality it could very well be that it just is...

                              oh i love questions like these. why are we going to explain how the big bang came to be. when we don't even know for sure thats what happened. because the "big bang" is a THEORY.

                                  ya gotta love religion...anything you cant explain you just God did it...and thats that


                                  reckon how God feels about that?

                                  and while we are on the subject where did God come from?

                                  I guess he just "is"

                                    Also, by using the "big bang happened because of god" argument, all you're doing is pushing the "how do you explain" back one level.

                                    If you believe in god, how do you explain where he came from? He just, always was and always will be? Who/What created god? No one? Then why do you find it hard to believe that no one / nothing created the universe?

                                    I have a hell of a lot easier time believing that the universe just "always was", than believing some imaginary invisible of infinite being of infinite power and intelligence "just always was"........

                                        Allright, here is the question :

                                        How do you explain the Big Bang?

                                        If there is no "God", why was there a Big Bang?

                                        Let's all forget about religion here.. No Jesus stuff..

                                        I am talking about a poinf of view where a superior intelligent form (God) pushed the button a created a Big Bang.
                                        Why did someone have to do it? You're talking First Mover argument? Who says it has to be a sentient being at all? Perhaps forces that are beyond our knowledge were at work before the chain reaction (that we're aware of) began. But who said those forces have to be sentient or a being at all?

                                          It's just as ez for me to believe that the universes has always exisited as it is to believe some higher power made 'em.

                                            The universe is a recipe. I'm just wondering why there were ingredients in the first place.

                                            And no, I am not a religious person. I just wanted to start a discussion.

                                                Atheists would like to understand the reason for 'the big bang' etc also, but saying that God did it is not an explanation. It can't be tested, it just asks more questions e.g. "how was God created" (please no bullshit answer like He just was)

                                                      Probably not created to profit, but definitely exploited to profit.

And they didn't like the humans living back then either so they killed off all the ugly people ans strted over? Or was adam and eve cave people too?

                                                                                        Even if I am, as you define on earth, an atheist, I believe this is the "simple" answer:

                                                                                        If you combine Darwins theory with the big question "why", you'll discover that individuals are not of importance, but evolution is. The survival is the only thing that matters, and the strongest lifeforms will survive. On early stages (where most earth lifeforms are today), the survival is dependant on physical factors. The individuals can not avoid death, but as I say its not important. The important thing is to avoid the death of evolution, and on later stages this is all dependant on intelligence and right timing.

                                                                                        Now, there are many obstacles to reach this higher "goal". Look at the timelines in our universe; - individuals die after relative little time. - the planets die or change conditions so lifeforms can not live there, or die because they were too early in their evolution. - the suns will burn out and/or explode, resulting in death of many local evolutions..... you can go on and on with bigger scales and finally the hole universe (our) will collapse or fade out.
                                                                                        Sooner or later we will have to get away from our earth. So what we need is energy. Already today we are able to produce positive energy, but from an highly intelligent alien point of view, its still very primitive. Maybe we can time it, maybe not, but point is that some civilizations sooner or later will have the intelligence and power to control energy in a way we can't even imagine.
                                                                                        On the death of our universe, they will be able to create a new universe, because that is the only way evolution can survive. Its birt-death birth-death of evolutions, just like individuals.

                                                                                        Our "God" is not unexplainable. Its lifeforms which has reached the end in their evolution, and ready for rebirth of a new global evolution.
                                                                                        You may ask "who started it all", but there are no starts. Time is repeating itself. Its a circle, not a rollercoaster. Its a scary thought, and you can accept it or you can be seduced by ego and believe in superstition (religion).

                                                                                                      Physicists and cosmologists have a number of possible explanations for "what existed before the big bang". The big bang theory is just the best theory we've created so far to explain the peculiarities of the universe we see in telescopes.

                                                                                                      The most popular theory is that this universe is the end result of a chain of universes- this theory is popular because it explains why the conditions of this universe seem so perfect for the creation of space-time and life.

                                                                                                      This kinda pushes the "first cause" question backwards into the "turtles all the way down" category.

                                                                                                      But science doesn't try to answer "first cause" questions - it tries to explain observations.
