Is the Big Bang Theory in Trouble? | Hugh Ross 

The Big Bang asserts that the universe had a beginning in finite time. A cosmic beginning in finite time is a core, fundamental doctrine of Christianity. Proof that the universe has no beginning would be catastrophic to the Christian faith. Proof that it has a beginning stands as strong evidence for the Christian faith.

It's because atheists have believed in an eternal universe & atheist scientists still continue to avoid an absolute beginning of the universe

That would be hard to do. You'd have to come up with a theory with more explanatory power to adequately explain, the solutions to Einstein's relativity equations, the red shift data, the cosmic background radiation, and the borde-guth-vilenkin theorem, all of which are adequately explained by the big bang theory.

The Bible is what is True. Dudes, come on🤦‍♀️ Our Creator, Created Everything, both visible and invisible. That's not a theory, it's a fact.

It would not be good, but that is in the past. The age of the universe is 13.7 billion years, with an uncertainty of only 200 million years. Hugh point is only the type of big bang is testable, not if it is true.

Not me

Most people do. We tried to communicate at both a scholarly and a lay level.

@@hughross131 appreciate that

Those that think the James Webb Space Telescope as challenged the Big Bang theory, those are the one Hugh is talking to.

It means that God was there before the Big Bang.

Genesis 1:1 is the same as the Hot Big Bang. Biblical Hebrew has a smaller vocabulary than English. In biblical Hebrew, there is no word for universe. Instead, the Hebrew phrase that is translated “the heavens and the earth” is used to refer to the universe-the entirety of physical reality. The phrase is used thirteen times in the Old Testament, always referring to all matter, energy, space, and time in the universe. We now know that event was 13.787 ±0.020 billion years. This has been checked, proven and measured with many tools and they all agree. It is not just space that came to be 13.787 billion years ago, but time also. The universe is finite and expanding. Just as the Bible stated thousands of years ago.

Astronomers can only look at the past, as light takes time to travel. Astronomers have proven laws of physics are unchanging, just as Jeremiah 33 correctly states, as we look back in time (more distant stars) they behave the same as close stars.

Still looking for that way out to avoid God Rick?

@@richiejourney1840 why did you ignore my question? Are you actually expecting me to answer your question?

The Big Bang describes how the universe expanded from an initial state of high density and temperature from nothing. The theory of general relativity: the universe began at a “singularity” (Big Bang) where all matter, energy, space, and time came into existence at an infinitely small point and expanded outward from there. Space-time Theorems recognizes the union of space and time. General relativity has been proven to be true. The universe has mass, and the universe is expanding. Thus the universe had a singularity/Big Bang/beginning from extra dimensions. Biblical Hebrew has a smaller vocabulary than English. In biblical Hebrew, there is no word for universe. Instead, the Hebrew phrase that is translated “the heavens and the earth” is used to refer to the universe-the entirety of physical reality. The phrase is used thirteen times in the Old Testament, always referring to all matter, energy, space, and time in the universe. We now know that event was 13.787 ±0.020 billion years.

@@richiejourney1840 well?

@@djsarg7451 no it doesn’t say from nothing. You know that while GR is great it’s also incomplete….. As such we can’t use only that.
