It's ok Big Bang. The first step is admitting you have a problem, and your's is bigger than a Cubs fan with World Series tickets.
Bill Nye calls it "The Great Mystery." Namely, the Big Bang doesn't solve the problem of where the stuff came from to fuel such a bang! Well, no worries because physicists have a new explanation for the origin of our universe.
According to a new theory (see also: guess, shot in the dark), the universe existed prior and then expanded outward with the Big Bang. So the idea of an eternal God who created everything is ludicrous, but the idea of an eternal universe creating a system with a perfectly placed earth and complex life makes complete sense.
Scripture is clear that "In the beginning God created." He was created by no one and and has existed for all time. And the reason we see an intentionally and intelligently created universe is a result of an intentional and intelligent Creator.
For years Creationists have been scoffed at for calling the Big Bang into question. And now those who cling to the Big Bang in hopes they will not have to cling to God have recognized their biggest problem: apart from God, no satisfactory explanation exists for the universe we see all around us.
In simple terms, science has now made the universe their eternal and all-knowing god.
So let us as Christians refuse to cower in the face of intellectual snobbery. Let us instead continue to declare the consistent message of Scripture that reveals a God who has created us with a purpose that can only be found in Jesus Christ.
