This topic is of little interest to me. |

I'd lean more towards the Gang Bang theory. |

I think it works as an idea but I'm open to the possibility of other (non-religious) theories. |

Yes, but over time it is sure to be tweaked and changed and disproved then proved again. But for the moment, it seems like a better theory than God creating it in seven days. |

It's currently the dominant paradigm in that area of science and I accept it as such. It isn't a matter of belief or disbelief though because it doesn't come down to faith. If the theory is incorrect, the paradigm will be overturned at some future point. I don't know enough about physics to comment on the specific theory, but I do trust the scientific process. |

I don't think belief is the right word. It's a theory and it seems to make a fair bit of sense, though it's not perfect. Believing it or not isn't really important. |

No. I find scientific theories too depressing. |
| iwish40 | | posted 10-Apr-2005 4:16pm |
Because in the Bible it says, that God created the Heavens and the Earth by Speaking the words....
So therefore it was "Created" it didn't just Bang into existance. |

Ya, I think I do. I watch a lot of documentaries. I love The Science Channel, it has lots of astronomy shows. The big bang creation of the universe theory makes about as much sense as anything. I think Nova did a episode with great computer graphics to help explain the concept. I know that really helped me.
I like pondering big thoughts like this. It's the "time" involved that fascinates me. Excellent interview with Albert Einstein in "The Hidden Side of Science" by Robt.R Leichtman, MD |

The jury's still out on this one. |

The big bang theory......well since i wasn't there i don't know for sure....but possible....anything is.... |
| romkey | | posted 11-Apr-2005 12:34am |
I beleive that the theory successfully fits with the observed data. |
| Amanda | | posted 11-Apr-2005 1:15am |
Yeah, sure. God said it and BANG it happened. |
| icurok | | posted 11-Apr-2005 8:51am |
"Believe" is perhaps the wrong word for what I think about a scientific theory.
I accept that the "Big Bang" theory is the best explanation for the origin of the universe. I will continue to accept this until another theory comes along that is better supported by the available data. |
| toyotaman_us | | posted 11-Apr-2005 2:43pm |
I believe God created all that we see. |

What Biggles said. |
| silverstar | | posted 11-Apr-2005 9:25pm |
I don't believe that God created the Earth...then what created God. But then again the same reasoning would go for the Big Bang. We were pondering this today. No one knows, and probably won't for a long time. |

I'm not sure how this question is "hypothetical".
This kind of reminds me of the recent "horoscope" survey.
Yes, I believe that there is a theory by that name. I also believe that it is based upon the fact that all of the observable matter in the known universe appears to be moving away from a point in space. I don't think it is unreasonable to carry that idea one step further and assume that, in the past, all that stuff used to be a lot closer to that point than it is now.
Okay, here's where I think I might really be answering the question that someone had in mind when they wrote this:
If you are suggesting that I might believe in some sort of creation myth about the entire universe originating in an explosion at that point, no I don't believe that. As a matter of fact, I think it is pretty silly. But then again, aren't all creation myths a bit silly? |

Actually I heard about a pulsar theory as well, which in a way makes a bit more sense. Then again I like the Big Bang concept a lot better. |

There was a story line in Stephen King's "It" that referred to the Universe being created by a tortoise vomiting up a hare or the other way around, I forget...but that made sense to me. |
| thevelvetcure | | posted 15-Apr-2005 10:55am |
And what caused the bang? The chicken or the egg? It's a never ending battle between science & religion. |
| Locutus | | (reply to Wolfgang) posted 15-Apr-2005 2:59pm |
"All we are is puke in the wind..."  . Anyways, that theory is a bit incomplete. How did the universe that the tortoise and the hare are in get created? |
| Wolfgang | | (reply to Locutus) posted 19-Apr-2005 12:06pm |
I suppose i would have to refer to the book...it was the most intreresting part of reading "It" and something the film version ignored completely. i will get back to you on that. Also, there is going to be a film called 'Locusts'. are u aware of that? |
| Locutus | | (reply to Wolfgang) posted 19-Apr-2005 12:24pm |
No, I didn't know, but it's almost "Locutus" . |
| Wolfgang | | (reply to Locutus) posted 19-Apr-2005 12:29pm |
oh dear, so sorry for the screen name mistake. horrid insects, though and i am sure you are nothing like them, in looks or personality |

1Tbsp. grey poupon Dijon Mustard
1 Tbsp. water
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. Italian seasoning
4 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 lb.)
Preheat oven to 375°F. Mix mustard, water, garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
Place chicken in shallow baking pan. Brush evenly with the mustard mixture.
Bake 20 min. or until chicken is cooked through. This L, is a favorite of mine and can be created in a jiffy. People will marvel at the taste. Try it and let me know how it goes!

Yes, but I couldn't tell you why (I also believe in Missing Sock Faeries). |

there's evidence and it makes sense |
