Scientific Explanations Of The World And Agnosticism And Atheism
Scientific Explanations of the World and Agnosticism and Atheism

The Big Bang had to occur at exactly the right second. If it didn’t, it cannot exist the way it is today. The reason for that is, if it happened to soon, it would have been too small to form stars, and if it happened to late, everything would have flown away too quickly to create stars and planets. They believe God caused this to happen. Scientific laws such as gravity made the content of the universe to form how it is today. They believe God created gravity, while science cannot explain what created it. Carbon had to bond with other atoms and water molecules in order for life to exist. It could not have happened by mere chance. God is the only one who could have done it.

    big bang theory vs relgion

    To clarify what's out there to be investigated, Southall begins the handbook in earnest by defining the terms, since ghosts, spirits and poltergeists are not interchangeable and represent quite different phenomena.Ghosts and apparitions are a kind a recording on the environment - a residual energy that can come from a person, animal or even an inanimate object. We can experience these lingering energies by sight, sound, smell and touch. Spirits are what people most often think of as "ghosts." A spirit is the "actual sentient presence, or soul, of an individual or individuals who have remained in the material world after his or her physical body has died." Southall continues by describing different types of spirits and the reasons they may have stayed behind.…

    Can Christians beleive in evolution and the big bang?

    Very religious people say that nobody should believe in the Big Bang. It is theory and a theory is an idea. There is no proof of the explosion that began the world. There were no eye-witnesses to the big bang, whereas the seven days of creation where received by God and written down.…

    Secular World: Christianity Vs. Evolutionary Atheism

    In this paper we look at the secular world’s presentation in dating and mating and compare and contrast the perspectives with the Biblical view. The secular worlds view is built from several perspectives. There are also differences that the culture could bring into the picture. However, in this paper in regards to the secular we will look primarily from the perspective of evolutionary atheism. The atheistic view presents perspective built from the assumption that there is no God and we are merely animals that are bound by whatever allows us to survive. In contrast, for this paper, the opposing view is non-evolutionary Biblical Theism. This perspective presupposes there is a God which has revealed truth through the scriptures. It is with the scriptures,…

    The pillars of the bigbang theory

    In the beginning there was nothing-no time to describe ‘when’ or no space to fill matter in. From this void sprung our universe when time and space came into existence as one entity. Despite its name the big bang theory isn’t really a theory about a bang at all. It is really only a theory about the aftermath of a bang (Allen Guth). The Big Bang theory is widely accepted by modern scientists, some however still doubt its validity. The Big bang theory relies mainly upon the explanation and proof of the following four discoveries ( For the purpose of this essay I will only be discussing the first 3 events):…

    Religious Believers Understand More About the World Than Scientists

    To discuss this statement first we must look at the definition of understanding. Religious believers and scientists would probably differ in their definitions and therefore disagree from the beginning. A religious person would perhaps say that understanding the world means knowing how to be a good person, how to live a good life and fulfill God's plan. A scientist would probably disagree, saying that understanding the world is having a wide knowledge and good comprehension of how the world works including theories like evolution and understanding why and how things occur. Another slight problem with this statement is its implication that one cannot be a religious believer and a scientist when in fact there are many religious scientists who seem to have science and religion existing harmoniously in their lives. If we are defining understanding as understanding how to live a good life, then I believe that the Bible and Religious Believers do understand more about the world than Scientists do.…

    Catholic and Secular Beliefs

    Catholics believe God made the earth in ‘six days’ and that the universe was made from nothing so therefore if the "Big Bang" theory is true, then God created this event. “By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all their host (Stars, atoms, planets) by the breath of his mouth. Ps 33:6 they believe we are all made in the image of God the saviour. They also state that if the stars and planets develop…

    Native Americans compare to US beliefs

    Moreover, when comparing different theories as the Big Bang with the creation of the earth stories from the different Native American tribes, many similarities and differences come to surface. Most of the Native American stories are based upon the believe of a higher power or a spiritual creator which originally created the world people live in. “Long, long ago, the Creator, the Great Chief Above, made the world. Then he made the animals and the birds and gave them their names.” Even though the Natives are spread out into different tribes, they all have different forms of some sort of a spiritual or magical creator, which developed the earth. The Big Bang Theory, unlike all the native American spiritual stories, is based on a proved hypothesis with concrete information and many explanations, which makes this story or theory an exact fact. “Scientists have discovered what Albert Einstein predicted…

    Creation Myths And Religion

    Creation Myths were first created to help the peoples of the certain time period in different places across the world figure out why they were put on the Earth. The Mayan, the Shinto, and the Christians all had different beliefs to how they were created. The Mayan myth comes from the Popol Vuh, a sacred book of the Mayan peoples. While the Shinto’s myth came from Japan’s oldest chronicle, Kojiki (“Record of Ancient Matters”). The Book of Genesis comes from the first book of Hebrew scripture, Genesis tells the creation myth of the Christians.…

    The scientific community’s argument for evolution

    The theory of Evolution is a well known and accepted theory by people all around the world, but still has a great amount of controversy around it, simply because of the connotation that comes along with the word ‘theory’. Biologists and the rest of the scientific community considers the existence of biological evolution to be a fact. However, biologists admit that they are less certain of the exact mechanisms of evolution. Everything that is observable, can be considered fact if tested, and given the same results no matter what. But because evolution is something that happens over time, and cannot be viewed with our own eyes, unlike say gravity for example (also a theory), it is much harder for people to accept as a fact, or an observation in progress.…

    Religion and Atheism: Common Arguments

    Founding father Benjamin Franklin once said, “The way to see faith is to shut the eye of reason.” Theists for thousands of years have shut their eyes to reason and blindly followed the word of those who would have them believe in false gods. Reason demonstrates, through outlets such as Occam’s Razor, the lack of a need for the existence of those gods and the shortcomings of theists in attempts to prove their faith. Such shortcomings most prominently come in the failure to provide empirical data for the existence of gods, in fact, experimentation and observation show otherwise. To accompany a lack of need and a lack of evidence, because faith causes one to turn a blind eye to reason, arguments for theism are often weak, personal, and circumstantial at best, and can be easily negated. Reason, a lack of evidence, and weak arguments leave mankind only one option in regards to belief in the supernatural; no god or gods actually exist.…

    Cosmological Argument Theory

    The Christian philosopher Saint Thomas Aquinas started the theory that if any object in the universe is moving, it must have been moved by something else that was also moving, and this second moving object must have been moved by something else that was also moving, and this must have been moved by a fourth moving object, and this by a fifth, and so on. (Textbook p.284) Aquinas believed there must be someone who started this chain of motion; therefore, there must be a God. There has been recent scientific evidence that suggests the universe began with the “big bang.” The “big bang theory” is a theory that billions of years ago, the universe began as an infinitesimal point that exploded suddenly into a huge ball of matter and that has continued exploding outward to form the gigantic universe we see around us. (Textbook p.285) I believe in the “big bang theory” and think it points to scientific proof that God does exist. There is proof today that the planets of the universe are gradually moving farther apart as time passes. This is proof that the “big bang theory” is true. With this being true it is proof that the earth has only been around for a few billion years and that it had a definite beginning. And only an infinitely powerful Being-God-can account for this beginning of the universe. (Textbook…

    Arguments Of Theism Vs. Atheism

    Can any scientist tell us how the Universe came into existence? Or, how old it is? There are creatures on Earth that are still being discovered today! Perhaps, one could look at the beauty in a sunrise or sunset. Perhaps, one could believe in God when they watch their new born babies eye lashes grow over the course of a week after they’re born; it is truly amazing! God created all things with such imagination and carefulness-each living thing is amazingly unique and has a purpose on this Earth no matter how big or small that purpose may be. In my opinion, Atheism is a belief that doesn’t leave much to look forward to. Though, it may be hard to explain God’s existence because he cannot be physically seen or heard, it shouldn’t be so hard to believe that the human race was created for purpose; one that exceeds this life on…

    Transhumanism

    The role of religion in providing explanations, however poor, of human life and its environment has given way over time to the superior resources of empirical science. Science has been able to explain an enormous variety of phenomena, both commonplace and unusual. Protestations by theists that science has not and cannot explain the origin of life, the origin of the universe, or the nature of consciousness are increasingly ridiculous as we continue to learn and…

    Science vs Religion

    Science vs Religion

    The relationship between Science and Religion can be explained from two discrete points of view. Some would argue that scientific explanations are the only means of explaining our existence, while others would argue that religion and the story of creation provide a sufficient amount of the world's conception. Religion and science both have the same basis, which are truth and understanding. It is this similarity that allows a direct link between science and religion. I believe that there is sufficient evidence to prove that science and religion are compatible. Albert Einstein had the same opinion when he presented the idea of the nature of light that was argued for hundreds of years. Scientology is also a proven example of compatibility between religion and science. Also, when looking at the two from a more general point of view, it would be obvious to say that they can both work together to give us a better understanding of the universe.…
