EVIDENCE FOR A BIG BANG THEORY
Is there evidence that a big bang occured? Does it even make sense to us? In Gods word we are told that God spoke and things were formed or made. Is this any harder to believe than evolutionists who say things just appeared one day without a designer? Sir Isaac Newton put it this way to an atheist one day:
That a maker is required for anything that is made is a lesson Sir Isaac Newton was able to teach forcefully to an atheist-scientist friend of his. Sir Isaac had an accomplished artisan fashion for him a small scale model of our solar system which was to be put in a room in Newton’s home when completed. The assignment was finished and installed on a large table. The workman had done a very commendable job, simulating not only the various sizes of the planets and their relative proximities, but also so constructing the model that everything rotated and orbited when a crank was turned. It was an interesting, even fascinating work, as you can image, particularly to anyone schooled in the sciences.
Newton’s atheist-scientist friend came by for a visit. Seeing the model, he was naturally intrigued, and proceeded to examine it with undisguised admiration for the high quality of the workmanship. ‘My! What an exquisite thing this is!’ he exclaimed. ‘Who made it?’ Paying little attention to him, Sir Isaac answered, ‘Nobody.’
Stopping his inspection, the visitor turned and said: ‘Evidently you did not understand my question. I asked who made this. Newton, enjoying himself immensely no doubt, replied in a still more serious tone. ‘Nobody. What you see just happened to assume the form it now has.’ ‘You must think I am a fool!’ the visitor retorted heatedly, ‘Of course somebody made it, and he is a genius, and I would like to know who he is.’
Newton then spoke to his friend in a polite yet firm way: ‘This thing is but a puny imitation of a much grander system whose laws you know, and I am not able to convince you that this mere toy is without a designer and maker; yet you profess to believe that the great original from which the design is taken has come into being without either designer or maker! Now tell me by what sort of reasoning do you reach such an incongruous conclusion?’
This is actually a common sense way of looking at this subject. Life teaches us that everything has a creator. Ingredients dont come together to make a cake, they have to have a designer.
Evolution teaches that one thing becomes another but life tells us that a substance stays the same unless their is an outside force causing the change. Evolution also teaches that one organism evolves into another, that an ape became man due to changes in its makeup by mostly atmospheric and climate changes. However, if this is the case why do we still have monkeys and men. Even basic creatures like a tadpole still exsists. Scientists have no answers to these basic observances.
Evolution also says it takes millions of years for macro changes to occur in a species. If thats the case, then how does a moth turn into a butterfly or how does a seed produce a tree in such short time. Even better, how does sperm and an egg produce a living creature who can mature, create, repopulate, and die within one hundred years. All of these points contradict evolution and the teachings of science.
Maybe we should just look at it like Newton and just admit that we dont know everything but one thing we do know; there is a creator, and hes very smart.
