Ok I'm doing a research project for english that is due on May 25 and I need some help! Please tell me little about your view on it and explain any other theories that you know of. CREDIT WILL BE GIVEN WHERE CREDIT IS DUE! Not that my english teacher will know who you are or anything. My main focus will be on the big bang vs creationism, but I also need as many theories as I can find.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
I really wish that we could actually show the pictures in here...
I believe that the world was created by God!! I do think the Genesis acount is somewhat of an oversimplification of how he did it, and I don't think that the 7 days that he did it in were literally 7 24 hour days. But the important part of the account to me is who created the world and everything in it. With out any doubt I believe God created the world and everything in it.
Wouldn't it be safer to have put this into the christian/religious section? At any rate dude you can find alot of info in the eovlution thread that has been raging in there for some time now - evolution, and both sides of the creation argument - literal genesis/old earth theories. I personally beleive in a literal Genesis, for which I beleive I have good reason as a christian.
Might I ask what exactly you are trying to find out and how it relates to english? I would have thought this would have been a science or history topic?

Oh boy, I can see this one creating a huge argument
You won't get fair answers here. I believe however that the universe was created by the first exploding atoms. Or at least thats how the galaxies were created
Not sure about the whole universe though, sorry bro.

Yeah, that's why I thought maybe this was better suited in the christian section, as it has shown in the past to become a very touchy subjectOriginally Posted by 32ndHeartBeat

I think we need to work on building some sort of time machine type device that allows us all to know once and for all. Instead of looking at bones that actually don't tell us anything much definitively, and theorising about why the universe looks like this, or why there is so much dark matter in this a part of the universe against another part of the universe, let's focus all scientific research into a time viewing portal, and then we can know eveyrthing about history, and there will be no more confusion or theories, just facts.

Thank you, Crazyman.
Daemon, I think you could turn this in to an awesome paper compiling different views and beliefs from around the world about how the Earth and universe were created, rather than straining over knowing what the actual origin of the universe is.

Actually 32, not a bad idea - you should focus on more than just the two most common ideas and also look into various forms of ancient mythology, such as Australian Aboriginal Dreamtime, Egyption versions (using Horus and the seed of Osiris and that), Hindu beleifs (not familiar with their version), adn whatever else you can get your mits around. I know alot of it is just flat out called "mythology" - however at one point in time these were legitmately beleived and accepted versions for the creation of the universe, and should be given the same respect as the evolution myth.
hehehehhe

This doesn't belong in this religious section, its not a debate about it, I need points FROM ALL VIEWS. And the part that relates to english is the reasearch and the presentation portion.
Thanks for your help so far, I haven't decided what to use yet, bet I'll tell you when I do.
That's my plan, which is why i need the views, I just want to have a little portion on the big bang vs creation as well (it would be about 1/4 of the total paper)Originally Posted by 32ndHeartBeat's Avatar

Cool, well for what it is worth, the creationist argument goes along the line of God using either 1) seven literal, 24 hour days to literally create everything, as in bring forth matter and all things from absolute nothingness in a physical reality sense or 2) same thing, but instead of using 7 literal 24 hour days, he used days as a figure of speech for an undertermined period of time, with each day relating to specifc points in the creation process. To make things worse, you have the Pope saying he beleives in Evolution, and things get real messy from there.
From a scientific position, both theories have reasons to be supported, as each leaves particular questions unanswered, however these same questions seem to get even less answers from evolutionists/darwynists, along with many other issues evolutionary science is yet to provide suitable explanations and answers for.
That I think is the fundamental christian viewpoint on creation - RD anything you wanna add?

Everything ever that is everywhere has to be distroyed..... Its said so by that guy that made the law "everything has an equal an opposite reaction." Apply that to the big bang and what do you think happens?
Im sorry christian guys but how do you explain the universe shrinking?

As I've said earlyer, I don't know which side is correct. As far as I'm concerned, it's a debatable issue and I don't go to the mat over debatable issues. My faith is in Jesus, not in the age of the Earth.
