Subject: The "Big BAM" |
Bible Note: Hank, I appreciated your comment on "Big BAM". I am in fact a scientist AND a christian - yes, it is possible...I remember last year reading a respected scientist's comments on the big bang theory, and how it actually supports the idea that GOD created the world! To condense his comments, the reasoning goes like this: The First law of Thermodynamics (also known as the law of conservation of energy) states that the total energy of any system remains the same...basically the simple idea that energy is never created or destroyed. So - if this is in fact true, then what was the source of the big bang? The origin of the universe in this case was supposed to be a huge body of dense matter. OK, that's fine, but where did the energy to create the 'big bang' come from? IF the first law of thermodynamics is true, and energy cannot be created or destroyed (by us), then ... WHERE DID IT COME FROM? I think I already knew...it came from GOD! This was the conclusion of the scientist also. |
