My points of discussion so far.
Firstly i would say that as a creationist, i accept the theory put forward by science as to how our universe came to exist, ie. a big bang occured.
So far in the human quest to understanding the universe there are two proposed theories concerning what was before the big bang if there was anything at all that is. The first theory is that there was some kind of a smoke cloud which is one possibility because new stars are created from a similar scenario, where this smoke is called a nebula. The other theory is that the bang just happened, there was nothing before it. These two theories however, do not concern me, what concerns me is the actual explosion and whether time and space existed before this explosion.
I know that many scientists say that time and space didnt exist but i have some questions regarding this viewpoint, so this is where i have to stop and elaborate. So far my two main points of discussion are, the explosion itself, was it from god or was it random, and was there time and space before that explosion.
Lets outline the bing bang theory.
An explosion took place, this explosion as believed by the non-religious, was random, a product of chance. To me as a creationist, this sounds rather contradictory to the laws of physics, it is illogical and mountains of evidence suggests that it is impossible for an explosion to take place randomly and the result of that explosion being something so complex as the universe and all that is in it. Speaking about the laws of nature (laws of physics), Stephen Hawking a well known scientific figure states the following:
.the laws of nature are fixed
... this very statement goes a very long way back, pretty much back to the big bang. As the name suggests, it is impossible for something so complex as the universe to have come about by a random explosion without the intervention of something intelligent. Unless ofcourse scientists believe that prior to the big bang, there were different governing laws that existed then, unlike the laws that we have after the big bang, such as those of quantom physics, and normal laws of physics.
An undeniable fact and i challenge anyone who dissagrees to prove me wrong, is that the laws of physics have and will always be the same from the fraction of a second that the big bang explosion started, up untill the end of this universe. Keeping that in mind, when has humanity ever seen or heard of something intelligent coming to be as a result of an uncontrolled explosion except for the big bang? When we hear the word explosion our minds immediately think of something chaotic that never leaves a pleasent trace, especially if we hear the word uncontrolled explosion. However, a controlled explosion, in which an intelligent designer has worked on, looks more like this: (i dont know if the image will show, but its a photo of a fireworks explosion, for those of you who want to argue how fireworks compare to the universe, please dont. Its only an example of what i mean)

As far as i know, the only time a beautiful and pleasant outcome of an explosion is derived from fireworks, an explosion on which a designer has worked on. if we gather the materials needed to make such a beautiful explosion and we just stuff them into a tube randomly or with oue eyes closed, we ain't going to get a good fireworks display. it will be just a chaotic explosion.
So for those who deny that God created the universe and that we are part of the creation of God rather than of chance, please explain how what i have said is incorrect.
I will continue to work on the other point of wether time and space existed before the big bang.
I cant fit all that in one post anyway.
