No, and I know that an outside force caused the big bang, though evolutionists will try to coerce you with this and that allegedly scientific explanation. They HATE this comparison, but it is true and extremely applicable. A Big bang cannot any more create a world than a regular bomb can create anything, and no, chaos is not really created, for it is merely the result of a chain reaction. Show me a bomb that creates life and I will show you a big bang theory that becomes a law.

a weapon of mass destruction.

I have a hard time believing many things likes humans are random. Leaving the Bible and God out of it I still have a hard time. I believe we are by design, be by God or alien or whatever not just a millions years happening. No proof and neither do the others have proof. Just theories they claim as proof. When I read all their "proofs" the reports are splattered with "thoughts, theory, and such words" if they cannot prove without any doubt, I will continual to think something started this show. Even started the bang, the water and the dirt. God will work for me until we find out it's someone or something else. I'm not saying all is wrong and people that think like me are right, just that I'm not convinced.

It fits most of the data but is still incomplete. I don't "believe" it in the sense that I cling to it from a faith based position but it is the best theory we have for now that fits the data (and this is using theory in the scientific sense not the everyday, layman's sense of the word - a working theory in science is as strong as it gets). What caused it is a difficult question as we don't have the maths and physics to completely describe the event yet. The best hope I can see is the M-Theory idea that we are the result of a collision of two 'branes in higher dimensional space which would give the required energy. However until we have a more complete theory of physics it is still unclear. But it will probably be a variation of our current theory that will eventually be settled upon, just as Einstein didn't completely reject Newton's theory of gravity, he just modified some mistakes in it. Newton's theories still work for many situations so I suppose that the basic idea of the big bang will be retained in some form or another. I am perfectly happy with not being certain yet and don't see the need to invoke a creator (which carries deep philosophical problems itself). We didn't know what caused lightening until relatively recently but I wouldn't have thought that that was caused by a creator just because the explanation temporarily eluded me. And as an aside this has nothing whatsoever to do with evolution which is a theory of biology.

no, i think it ought to be called a hypothesis because it lacks enough evidence. there are many hypothesis' of the beginnings (IF there is a beginning) of the universe. skeptic magazine volume 13 number 2 has an excellent article on all the hypothesis'/theories for the universe/multiverse. if any of you are interested in this kind of thing i highly recomend getting this back issue ;)

Cosmologists who believe the Big Bang is the only possible theory are extremely short sighted. A theory that states that for no particular reason at all!?! A particle of infinite mass and gravity just sprung out of know where and then (again) for no particular reason at all it exploded flinging out the physical laws that govern the universe all the matter and energy within it!.......then for no particular reason at all instead of flinging all this matter off into the deepest infinite depths of the void that is space the matter started flinging together and crating stars and planets.......sorry but is there something wrong with this picture?......may I mention that people who believe this stuff are typically very protective of the theory and would consider the existence of God ludicrous! Now i don't follow any particular religion but I can't help see a naive duality. There are other alternatives to this theory but they are difficult to find as it goes against the largest published opinion, I consider it to be one of the greatest mistakes of science.

I think it was caused from the collapse of another, I think theres pressure in space and like a pressure cooker, the pressure was dropped and caused a change of state in materials once compressed; this is just my theory so feel free to disagree

Yes, I do believe. God said, Let there be Light. What is speech but a fluctuation? In His case, a fluctuation between colliding branes which initiated the Bang. God has many tools from which to choose. And yes, He made those as well.

From quantum mechanics we know that any matter (or anything else) confined in a small space must have a high momentum. Thus, at that time everything must have been really trucking along. To extrapolate to before the Big Bang, therefore, we would expect everything to be traveling rapidly toward one point -- an implosion, a Big Crunch.

It was the Mad Watch, from Alice in Wonderland, exploding.
