“Of course, Jastrow's comment is exaggerated at best; theologians hardly predicted the Big Bang. If our universe turns out to be closed, hence with an end, this does not mean apocalyptic visions of the end of the world were on target. And even if a beginning for the universe is a successful prediction of one version of theism, this is still not that impressive. After all, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. The Big Bang becomes strong support for God only with an argument showing that such a beginning requires a Creator.” IfsWorldMeanDoeStillsEndsBigsReligionTurnsUniverseCoursesStrongVisionSupportSuccessfulArgumentCreatorVersionsClockTargetCommentPredictionsTheologianEnd Of The WorldBangsImpressiveExaggeratedApocalypticTheismStopped Clock Author:Taner Edis
“In the popular imagination, the Big Bang is a great explosion; at one time there was nothing, then matter erupted into previously empty space. However, the Big Bang is the beginning of spacetime itself, not an event in time.” MatterBigsReligionImaginationSpaceEventsEmptyOne TimeBangsExplosionsEmpty SpaceSpacetime Book:The Ghost in the Universe: God in Light of Modern Science Source: The Ghost in the Universe: God in Light of Modern Science
