Big Bang Cosmology Violates Fundamental Scientific Principles
It Cannot be Classified as an Observable Event.
There are presently some 50 theories proposed by cosmologists to explain the Big Bang, all of which are nothing but mathematical models. Why so many theories? It is apparent that the verdict is still out. The Big Bang is the popularized version of evolutionary cosmology. It states that matter, energy, and space were all compressed many billions of times smaller than a proton and then exploded for some undetermined reason to create an expanding universe which continues to spread today. There are presently some 50 theories proposed by cosmologists to explain the Big Bang, all of which are nothing but mathematical models. Why so many theories? It is apparent that the verdict is still out. If the Big Bang is true as presented by the cosmologists, they must have scientific ground to stand on. To propose that the universe came about by a big explosion has far-reaching implications that affect every human being. For cosmic evolution to be accepted the questions below must be answered not just with speculative theory or creative mathematical formulations, but with hard empirical evidence.
1. What causes particles of matter to coalesce into heavenly bodies? This basic question has to be answered. If the Big Bang caused matter and energy to separate and move outward at tremendous speeds, at some time that matter had to coalesce and come together. The explanation offered is that as cooling occurs; particles slow down and clump together. The problem is, however, that these celestial objects are moving at relatively high speeds away from each other. There is no empirical evidence to support the star formation theory proposed by evolutionary cosmologists. No star or galaxy has ever been seen to form in space from star gas. As the Harvard astrophysicist, Abraham Loeb stated, “The truth is that we don’t understand star formation at a fundamental level.” (Abram Loeb, as cited by Marcus Chown, “Let there be Light,” New Scientist, (vol. 157, February 7, 1998) p. 30)
2. Can an explosion produce order? The second law of thermodynamics, as noted above, tends to bring a system to disorder. The cosmos is not exempt from the second law. When one observes the universe, the second law is apparent everywhere. The sun is wearing down slowly; stars are burning out and even exploding. It is obvious that the second law of disorder is here to stay. Big Bang theory contradicts the Second Law because it requires particles to organize and cohere on a cosmic scale. There is no scientific evidence for this claim. It is much like the expectation that dropping a nuclear bomb on a mountain will yield neat piles of earth rather than utter destruction. What we see in the universe is directly opposite to the expectation of evolutionary cosmologists. We observe a decaying universe whose order of complexity is in decline. Evolution Cosmology directly defies this great law of science.
3. What was before the Big Bang? While some say that matter and energy are eternal and were always present, the question remains: Where did everything come from? It had to come from an outside source. How did it begin? Again, the answer is that an outside source initiated it. Everything observed has a beginning and an end. Matter and energy are no exceptions. The beginning came from an outside source: God.
4. Is expansion of the universe observable? Red shifts – the movement of light coming from objects in space to the red end of the spectrum – are regarded as evidence for the expansion of the universe. However, there are some 50 models for the process of expansion. There is confusion and little consensus on this issue. That is not surprising. After all, one is dealing with a gigantic universe from a limited frame of reference. There are no clear answers at this time, just creative speculation. This is illustrated by cosmology’s concept for the beginning—what has been termed the “cosmic egg.” Never observed, the cosmic egg idea for the origin of the universe takes the universe backwards in time and shrinks all matter down many billions of times smaller than a single proton. The idea that all matter and energy could be collected in one place staggers the imagination, and, of course, has no empirical foundation. Yet, there are mathematical models that depict the precise fraction of a second when this took place. This is presented as scientific fact and needs to be challenged. Aside from these four questions that Big Bang cosmologists cannot answer, there is the overwhelming evidence from thermodynamics that the upward increase in order violates every fundamental principle of physics known today. These fundamental principles are known as the Laws of Thermodynamics.
The First Law of Thermodynamics (Conservation) states that “energy is always conserved; it cannot be created or destroyed.” In essence, energy can be converted from one form into another. Aside from falsifying the concept that nothing can create something, this First Law of Thermodynamics is a testimony to the biblical account of creation, “In the beginning, God…” Gen. 1:1. It is the God of the Bible, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who is the ultimate First Cause of everything seen and unseen.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that "in all energy exchanges, if no energy enters or leaves the system (in a closed system), the potential energy of the state will always be less than that of the initial state." A good example of entropy is a watchspring-driven watch will run until the potential energy in the spring is converted, and not again until energy is reapplied to the spring to rewind it. A car that has run out of gas will not run again until you walk 10 miles to a gas station and refuel the car. Once the potential energy locked in carbohydrates is converted into kinetic energy (energy in use or motion), the organism will get no more until energy is input again. In the process of energy transfer, some energy will dissipate as heat. Entropy is a measure of disorder: cells are NOT disordered and so have low entropy. The flow of energy maintains order and life. Entropy wins when organisms cease to take in energy and die.
The Bible accurately states that the wages of sin is death. Death, in the language of physics, is when all available energy is depleted and death occurs. Because mankind (in Adam) sinned, spiritual death or separation from God was the result. We were literally “cut-off” from the source of true life. No additional input of life from God left us dying. The separation from God, or spiritual death, took place first, and then physical death soon followed.
The Good News is that God has not left us spiritually dead in our trespasses and sins. He has provided us with true life in the Person of His Son, the Messiah. Not only did the Messiah pay the penalty for our sins, ultimate death and separation from His Father at Calvary, He can now, by virtue of His resurrection and exaltation to His former glory, can give us true life, John 10:10. The life that only God can give is eternal life. This new life spiritually transforms us from sinners into saints as we personally experience Christ through the indwelling of His Holy Spirit.
God not only solves the problem of physical entropy for His creation by sustaining it, even in its present state of decay, Col. 1:15-17. He alone can reverse the cursed of sin and death in anyone’s life, He alone can ask us to “Come unto Me..,” Matt. 11:28. He promises to reverse the curse of entropy and death when He returns a second time to planet earth in fulfillment of His Covenant promises to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. Romans 8:18-23 But now he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. Heb. 9:26b-28.
God is the ultimate Law-giver. It is because of His natural laws that life can exist and flourish on planet earth. He is also the spiritual Law-giver and He alone can, and does, establish the laws of nature that control our natural world. He told the Samaritan woman at the well, the following truth:
“Everyone who drinks this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks the water I will give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. ” John 4:13-14 Indeed the last book of the Bible contains this final plea:
The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost. Rev. 22:17
