Deep Sight:

I dont think he said the big b.ang sounds mythical. If you would slow down your anti-God reflex a little and read carefully, you would see that what he wrote was that the big ba.ng coming out of nothing is what sounds mythical to him.

He may not know that the bi.g bang is actually not said to "come out of nothing" - it is said to proceed from the point of a singularity. But I don't think that this changes the pith of his comment: namely that that event, in his mind (and I agree) must have required a cause, or triggering factor which we as yet do not know. For him, the cause or triggering factor is God - and that's not a ridiculous view to have, or is it?

Let me just say that when you say that it requires myth to believe in God, that actually depends on what a person's perception of God is. If a person sees God as a big man living in the clouds, that may be myth. If a person sees God as a causative and creative principle at the root of all existence - that certainly doesn't sound like myth to me.

Cheers.

Exactley there has to be a trigger effect sophisticated enough to create our reality...it dont beleive that "Random" events led to such creations

Logic Mind:

and the purpose of this work being?

Who knows what the purpose of the work was, maybe the purpose was to inhabit them someday ie. Scientists researching the possibility of life on mars. Maybe these Planets were created to expand our imagination, make us do the Impossible. ie going to the Moon, Sending Research craft to other planets. This is an example of how i say science and theology can work hand in hand. Maybe God wants us to test the limits of technology and human nature by travelling beyond what was thought imposible. With God all things are possible

ramalot:

Sir, how can you possibly reconcile the bold parts of your text?

Really? On the one hand, you are talking about "science is a work of god," and on the other, the big b@ng or anything for that matter, sounds "too mythical" for you?

Let me put it as mild as possible: IT REQUIRES YOU TO BE GLUTTONOUSLY FIXATED ON "THE MYTHICAL" TO BELIEVE IN GOD. so if you believe in any god, you CAN NOT at the same time debunk ANYTHING for being even remotely 'mythical.'

You dont get what i was trying to say, what you forgot to read was that i said " I agree with some aspects of science but others i dont" Evolution in the sense that we are currently evolving, yes i agree. To say that there was a Big bang, i dont agree. Also to me God isnt mythical he is real, something Many people dont understand. To me several theories of science are wrong, while i agree other theories.

Atheism – The belief that there was nothing and then nothing happened to nothing and then nothing magically exploded for no reason, creating everything.

Heavy Misunderstandings from Athiests and Christians alike, personally i believe science and christianity go hand in hand, but misunderstandings aswell as ignorance and sheer stubborness has forced each concept to be total opposite. Afterall Science is a work of God...but those who propagate theories arent always wrong but neither are they always right

I do believe in Intelligent design, I don't believe that a big bang came out of nothing and Life as we know it was created, that to me sounds too mythical. Eeverything has a cause, there is a reason behind every action that happens in this universe.

I think that as christians begin to understand more and more we will soon realize a connection between both institutions
