The big bang theory, like any other scientific theory, is rigorously scrutinized and put under scrutiny to ascertain its reliability to the world. I intend to outline some of the weaknesses that have been noticed and brought forward by some scholars in different areas of science. G. Rhee in his book Cosmic Dawn: The search for the first stars and Galaxies, Astronomers’ Universe attempts to present the big bang theory as a theory that is just as vulnerable as any other theory and is not a water tight one. He says “The Big Bang theory enables us to understand many different facts about the universe in a cohesive manner. Almost all astronomers believe it to be the best theory of the universe. Let us keep in mind, however, that the finest scholars were completely mistaken about the nature of our universe for most of recorded history.”

Those who believe in Christianity find it hard and virtually impossible to place any credibility and belief in the big bang theory. This is mainly because they believe in the Bible. This is not a far-fetched belief since the Bible has stood the test of time and can be relied on. The credibility of the Bible is very strong since it can also be aligned to some

    The Kalam Cosmological Argument and the B-theory of time INTRODUCTION Inherent in the Kalam Cosmological Argument, as defended by WIlliam Lane Craig, is the assumption of the A-theory of time. The A-theory of time accepts the view that there is a past, present and future, where future moments become increasingly present, and present moments become increasing past. Time exists very much like the way we experience it. The alternative view, the B-theory of time, sees time as a totality, that all times exist equally, or are equally real. Moments in time are ordered/related in terms of earlier-than, simultaneous with and later-than.

    It is important that we accept that religion is Man’s attempt to answer these questions and because it is an institution reliant upon faith, it is acceptable for one to accept Religion as a precursor for complex ideas, and interpret its fallacies as misunderstandings, however, it is unreasonable for one to justify the rejection of science to prevent controversy with the beliefs of religion. Furthermore, it is unreasonable for one to ever justify the rejection of science for any reason, as this praxis clouds the mind and decreases one’s capacity to comprehend the true nature of the universe and the governing laws to which it

  • The Perimeter Of Ignorance By Neil Degrasse Tyson

    The issue on whether religion and science can work together has been debatable for centuries. Neil DeGrasse Tyson in his article the Perimeter of Ignorance argues that science and religion cannot coexist. In his article, the author explains that religion is all about the Bible and the Bible primarily focuses on the explanation of the origin of the world. He puts forth the point that this concept is far different from what science is and that they do not complement each other. This essay intends to prove that religion and science can work together with no issues.

    This is a fallacy because nobody can state that the bible is true and people must follow whatever it says in the bible. People believe in the bible because they have their faith in the Holy Father. On the other hand, the contrasts and conflicts between the Bible and science make people cannot accept the Bible as what it is. Brady says, “God spake to the men who wrote the Bible,”(98) this is not true because God did not speak to anyone.

  • Analysis Of Massimo Pigliucci´s The Big Bang Theory

    1391 Words  | 6 Pages

    Situation: This piece of writing is argumentative based to discuss how scientism is not necessarily the answer to everything but plays a large role in society. In 2012, author Massimo Pigliucci uses the show “The Big Bang Theory” to discuss how science is highly important and necessary for our world to grow, but cannot replace literature, philosophy, and art because each aspect is needed for humans to thrive. An example from the text being that character Howard from the show has an equation to calculate his chances of having sex by figuring out the number of single women who may find him to be attractive (pg. 279). Pigliucci is pointing out that instead of exuding confidence and finding a female to talk to, Howard just uses science to justify why he can or cannot find a female to be with. The same issue is involving Sheldon when he creates “The Friendship Algorithm” in order to make friends (pg. 280).

  • Should Creationism Be Taught In Schools Essay

    966 Words  | 4 Pages

    A theory is defined as an explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a compilation of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Theory is not scientific law, which is a natural phenomenon that has been proven as absolute truth. However, in the public-school setting, evolution, a theory concerning the Earth’s origins, is established as an indisputable fact allowing no room for other theories, specifically creationism, to be taught. These two battling theories uphold two opposing perspectives that attempt to explain the creation and development of life.

  • The Big Bang Theory: Similarities Between Science And Religion

    The Biblical standpoint states that God created the universe from complete darkness. Now when comparing it to scientific theory, the Big Bang also started from in an abyss of nothingness and resulted in the creation of the cosmos. In essence, utilizing both of these scenarios, one can say that the Big Bang and the God’s creation of the cosmos are the same events. Now, while religion keeps it at that, by using science, they can delve deeper into this phenomena in order to see how the universe came to be. Not only will this answer the question of how we came to be, but what caused this event to happen.

    From the periods 1500 to 1700, The Scientific Revolution led to heretical ideas against the church. According to the bible, man was considered the pinnacle of creation as well as other creations such as the sun been considered the center of the universe. Copernicus aroused with the creation of the heliocentric theory, stating that the sun was not the center of the universe and Galileo “agreed with his teaching enabling him to understand nature’s phenomena that according to hypothesis, it remained inexplicable.” In addition, this theory challenged the church’s authority and beliefs. Throughout that time, because church was really strict, it decided to go against the theory, because it was contrary to what the church stands for, as well as questioning God.
