How do you think the world was created? Science vs Religeon

It's the massive subject that everyone can get involved in, what do you guys think?

Personally, I do believe in Science. I'm not really into religion as I am narrow minded and don't see how the bible or any other book makes any sense.

But in the overall fact, something happened whether it was "The Big Bang" or whatever you want to call it, religion in my eyes just calling The Big Bang Theory, God.

 

"Belief" in "science" is about as palpable as "faith" in "religion". If one were to use "science" as a blanket term, then it might be said that science is composed of many, many theories. Many such theories we know to be correct within a shadow of doubt (for example, gravity). Other theories are more concept, so while they might appear to make sense in all honesty they might be entirely wrong.

There are things you "know" and things you "believe." With science, best stick with things you absolutely, definitely know. Anything else should be taken well salted, particularly with theories that in truth we cannot actually verify or validate (at least for the moment), such as those of our origin. Failure to do so would result in failure to formulate new ideas and theories in the first place.

Lastly on this point, your statement about the Bible is irrelevant and childish. I'd counsel you not to take scripture literally, nor as a handbook for the universe, but if you want to talk science or theory and value the input of others, don't discredit theism simply for the sake of discrediting it.

Personally I take a more deistic perspective. Provided there was a God, an omnipotent entity so to say, that created all that we know and can conceive of and much more besides, then it would go to follow that such an entity would have no need to interfere beyond initial creation.

Consider clockwork: once the components are in place and working, they do not need any additional tweaking for the mechanism to complete its cycle. If such a God were omnipotent and all powerful, all knowing, then it would stand to reason that there is no grounds for the deity to interfere with the universe as it would, as analogy, work like clockwork.

But I digress, I do not actually BELIEVE anything about how the universe was created. There's no point in "believing". I can CONSIDER the possibilities, but in the end if the truth is divine then it is impossible for mortals such as us to grasp it. If it is less than divine then I most certainly will not see the truth of it in my lifetime.

 

The Big Bang theory occurred 14 billions years ago roughly, which allowed in just a minuscule amount of time for immense expansion and a soup-like grouping of protons electrons and neutrons. On top of that, you can ask, what triggered the Big Bang, and what exsisted before it? Was it random? Did God do it? Time is the most powerful thing, it can create and destroy anything. It's something we simply just cannot understand. I do believe in God, and believe the shear size and mystery of the universe and it's creation are key aspects depending on how you perceive them, to truly believing in a divine power. We will never fully have the answer much like Swan said, alot of that is theory and not full proof; however, the Doppler Effect shows that the universe is still expanding due to the Big Bang, and in return the galaxies show a faint red light as they move away. It's interesting look it up. Took a college class that loosely talked about this.
