The Big Bang Does Not Prove God’s Existence
As discussed in the introduction, since the time of the ancient Greeks until well into the 20th century many scientists assumed that the universe was eternal. One result of the big-bang theory is that it has convinced most scientists that the universe had a beginning. In a book written in 1978, the astronomer Robert Jastrow2 pointed out that for the first time in history, mainstream science and the Bible agreed on the finite age of the universe. While Jastrow is an agnostic, he found it fascinating that modern science has begrudgingly come into agreement with the Bible on this one issue. Many contemporary Christian apologists go beyond Jastrow and argue that the big-bang model is in perfect agreement with the biblical account of creation, and furthermore that the big bang shows that God must exist.3 There will not be a full discussion here of whether the big-bang model is compatible with the Bible. We will do that in the next chapter. Here we will explore the legitimacy of using the big bang to argue for God’s existence.
