Isnt the Big Bang a christian theory??? I thought thats the main
reason why atheist hates it. How nothing or energy (god) created
something.
Wikipedia:
[b]Georges Lemaître, a Belgian Roman Catholic priest,
independently derived the Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker
equations from Albert Einstein's equations of general relativity in
1927 and proposed, on the basis of the recession of spiral nebulae,
that the universe began as a simple "primeval atom"what was later
called the Big Bang
The following is a list of various religious interpretations of the
Big Bang theory:
A number of Christian and traditional Jewish sources have accepted
the Big Bang as a possible description of the origin of the
universe, interpreting it to allow for a philosophical first cause.
Pope Pius XII was an enthusiastic proponent of the Big Bang even
before the theory was scientifically well-established and
consequently the Roman Catholic Church has been a prominent
advocate for the idea that creation ex nihilo can be interpreted as
consistent with the Big Bang. This view is shared by many religious
Jews in all branches of rabbinic Judaism. Some groups contend the
Big Bang is also consistent with the teaching of creation according
to Kabbalah. [32]
Some modern Islamic scholars believe that the Qur'an parallels the
Big Bang in its account of creation, described as follows: "Do not
the unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined
together as one unit of creation, before We clove them asunder?"
(Ch:21,Ver:30). The claim has also been made that the Qur'an
describes an expanding universe: "The heaven, We have built it with
power. And verily, We are expanding it." (Ch:51,Ver:47).[33]
Parallels with the Big Crunch and an oscillating universe have also
been suggested: "On the day when We will roll up the heavens like
the rolling up of the scroll for writings, as We originated the
first creation, (so) We shall reproduce it; a promise (binding on
Us); surely We will bring it about." (Ch:21,Ver:104).
