Warning: The Big Bang Theory has Holes in It!

Although there are several theories that try to explain the origin of mankind, two of the more popular ones, in my opinion, are:

- Evolution, starting with the "Big Bang" concept and nothing else; and
- Creation, with the premise that a higher order created human intelligence.

Big Bang advocates argue, in simplistic terms, that the universe, as we know it, originated from a gigantic ball, (a core), that suddenly appeared out of nowhere and exploded, hurtling incalculable quantities and masses of matter across a vast wilderness that came from nowhere. From the initial explosion, stars, planets, comets, asteroids, galaxies, and whatever else, formed in infinite quantities. From all of this, unaided, came the random crashing together of the particles that created human-beings.

Creationists, for the large part, do not have difficulty with the "Big Bang" concept since it does not contradict the creation of humankind by a higher order. In fact, it makes sense, but it doesn't work without a higher-order creator.

Many of the "Big Bang" supporters rely purely on science to explain our physical presence. If you can't see it, either with a microscope or a telescope, then it doesn't exist. I'd like to have a scientist show me a picture of wind.

Our problem as human-beings is that we are bounded by our limitations and our human intellect. Although we are wonders of innovation, we cannot comprehend that which is beyond our ability - and we do have limits.

Imagine, if you will, selecting the brightest species on the face of the Earth, other than the human-being, and creating a team from the brightest of the group and sitting them down at a table in front of us, and giving them the following basic task:

"Here is a photo of the Empire State Building, please design and build it," or,

"Here is a PC, please design and build it."

You might scoff at this ludicrous tasking, since we well know that it would be impossible, even for a highly trained team of, say, chimpanzees to attempt one of the above tasks.

Even so, the Big Bang proponents would like us to accept that there is nothing greater than ourselves. How vain.

The problem that Big Bang advocates and , for that matter, Atheists have, is believing in something that they cannot see, feel, or touch. Creationists, on the other hand, have no problem in this regard. Creationists accept that we are like the brightest chimpanzee in the eyes of our higher order - God. We cannot understand, because we are incapable of doing so, but we have faith.
