The Frustrated, Endless Effort To Eliminate A Creator From Creation

Ninety years ago, the first scientist presented a new theory that the "expansion" of the universe could be traced back to a single point when there was a "Big Bang. They one of them "hypothesized that the Big Bang intimated something similar to an instantaneous moment of "Creation". Then some old Bible Preacher rationalized that when God spoke the worlds into existence in Genesis one by His command, "Let there be....", there was surely a "Big Noise" as the entire universe exploded into existence. The point of beginning would have been the mouth of God as His word was spoken. 


Here is their theory of the "Big Bang" from Wikipedia.
Since Georges Lemaître first noted in 1927 that an expanding universe could be traced back in time to an originating single point, scientists have built on his idea of cosmic expansion. The scientific community was once divided between supporters of two different theories, the Big Bang, and the Steady State theory, but a wide range of empirical evidence has strongly favored the Big Bang which is now universally accepted. In 1929, from analysis of galactic redshiftsEdwin Hubble concluded that galaxies are drifting apart; this is important observational evidence consistent with the hypothesis of an expanding universe

Endless effort to eliminate a Creator from Creation:

I would imagine that a lot of evolutionary scientists were not too pleased with the Christian harmony in that kind of "Big Bang at an originating single point". They have no doubt been seeking a better explanation for how it all happened which couldn't be made to parallel the Genesis record. So, recently I saw a new version of how the universe got here. Here is the headline...

QUANTUM EQUATION SUGGESTS THE 

BIG BANG NEVER OCCURRED – THE 

UNIVERSE HAS NO BEGINNING


My Comment:
So, under this new, postulation, supposition, hypothesis... theory, since there never was a beginning of creation, there need be no Creator to cloud the issue.

The only trouble with this new theory is that a foundational precept of Christianity is that our Creator God had no beginning either, and lived and reigned eternally ... somewhere, which, I assume was in the infinite universe ... or somewhere in a different, spiritual dimension. They also, still believe in an expanding universe. But how does an infinite universe "expand". How do you get bigger than the endless infinity?

But, what do I know? I'm just an old, simple minded preacher who can't conceive of the length of eternity, the depth or height of infinity or the magnificence of God. They can't either so they just discount God all together. A great awakening is coming ... RB
