Some one came up with the idea that the Big Bang happened – but God had a
hand in it. What is your theory on this – and is it true?

As far as I can tell, the reason that the Big Bang Theory was invented was
to explain the reasons behind the fact that the universe appears to be
expanding slowly. If the universe is expanding, then the thought came up that
it might be calculated to see if the expansion came from a single point in
space. When the calculations were completed, it did appear to be coming from a
single point in space and the Big Bang Theory was born.

I personally don’t believe in the Big Bang Theory for several reasons…

1. In order for a theory to be correct, there can be no other hypothesis that
   also explains the circumstances. But there is one… I feel that the real reason
   that the universe is expanding is because of sin. Our sinfulness has a direct
   effect on the earth (Rom. 8:22), and I believe that also includes the physical
   laws like gravitational pull. The horrible sin of mankind has been piling up
   since Adam and Eve’s rebellion and is tearing apart God’s creation (which He
   saw, and it was good – Gen. 1) and will end with God destroying everything and
   creating a new heaven and a new earth.
2. In no other place in Scripture is there found a partial miracle. When
   Jesus changed water into wine, (John 2) there was no delay in the process. It
   was fully water and then fully wine. When Jesus healed the paralyzed man,
   (John 5) he was immediately and fully healed. No rehabilitation necessary.
   When Jesus walked on the sea, (John 6) he wasn’t swimming, he was totally on
   top of the water, and then, when they took Him into the boat, they were
   immediately on the other side. Over and over and over again we see God’s
   miraculous hand at work in immediate ways. However, the idea behind the Big
   Bang Theory is delay and waiting and process. It just doesn’t seem to be the
   way God does things.
3. The whole idea of the Big Bang Theory is to come up with an idea through
   science (otherwise known as man’s best guess at creation and how everything works
   together) and then go to the Bible to see if the Bible can prove the science
   right. That is totally the wrong way to do things. We must always start with
   the Bible first. Anything that isn’t in the Bible (whether in there
   specifically, or as a principle) is totally just made up.

I hope that my opinion helps you a little bit. Let’s always go to the Bible
for understanding, and not just justification for our own ideas.
