[QUOTE="Tiger, post: 133677, member: 353"] The statement that the Big Bang is “not a creation myth” is precisely the kind of semantic sleight-of-hand modern materialists use to dodge the obvious: it is a [B]creation account[/B] with all the trappings of myth, only stripped of metaphysical honesty and dressed in lab coats. You say it’s merely “rewinding the clock” to a hot, dense state. Rewinding to what, exactly? [I]An origin[/I], a beginning — a [B]moment when the universe leapt into being from absolute non-being[/B]. That’s not science, that’s cosmogony without the courage to admit it. As Michael Polanyi warned, “scientific objectivity” becomes its own kind of superstition when it insists on silencing the deeper metaphysical implications of its discoveries. The irony is historical: the Big Bang theory was first proposed by [B]Fr. Georges Lemaître[/B], a Catholic priest and physicist, and was [B]rejected by many atheistic scientists precisely because it looked too much like creation ex nihilo[/B] — too much like [B]God[/B]. Fred Hoyle’s mocking phrase [B]“Big Bang”[/B] was meant to ridicule it. Yet now, in a desperate turn, the materialist clings to it — hoping no one notices that it still demands a beginning, a cause, and an explanation for why there is [I]something rather than nothing[/I]. Even [B]Stephen Hawking[/B] admitted: That’s not “rewinding” — that’s a [B]beginning[/B] in the most metaphysical sense. And the attempt to explain it away through quantum fluctuations or abstract math is a theological dodge masquerading as physics — a conjuring act that invokes [B]nothing[/B] and calls it [B]something[/B]. The Big Bang, in the end, is not the triumph of science over myth — it is [B]the triumph of a sanitised myth over theological honesty[/B]. Your version doesn’t explain creation — it merely [B]eliminates the Creator[/B] and hopes we won’t notice. [/QUOTE]
