so @douglaswinslowcooper  if I take the big bang theory then with what can I compare it with? and what are "idea" ?

anonymous · Answer

The most interesting comparison to big bang theory would of course be religion. a very easy thing to contrast & there are also some similarities(:

tanya123 · Answer

religion ? which ? plus is religion a theory?

anonymous · Answer

Yes, religion is a theory. And id go with Christianity just because its easiest

tanya123 · Answer

anonymous · Answer

Tanya, I think the Big Bang is evidence of the Creation of the Universe by God. Others see it as a start that does not require a creator.. You could work with those two viewpoints. Good luck.

tanya123 · Answer

you mean the ones you wrote above ? @douglaswinslowcooper

anonymous · Answer

I mean the idea that the Big Bang shows Creation, thus a Creator, versus the idea that it shows something can come from nothing and there need be no Creator.

Evolution is a theory that has some evidence. However, some evidence favors the belief in Special Creation, the creating of species rather than having them evolve.

tanya123 · Answer

so compare big bang with creation? @douglaswinslowcooper

anonymous · Answer

Actually, I'm pretty sure The Big Bang Theory is what Christians do not believe. TBBT is the theory that the universe originated sometime between 10 billion and 20 billion years ago from the cataclysmic explosion of a small volume of matter at extremely high density and temperature. Basically, that means the universe was created from an explosion which occurred naturally. Christians believe that God created the world in 7 days (although he rested on the seventh). :)

anonymous · Answer

As a Christian, I do not take all the Bible literally. Many do not. Those are two viewpoints you could contrast.

I believe the Big Bang shows the act of creation. As a scientist, I know that the details of the universe are such that tiny differences in the critical constants would have prevented the formation of the universe and of life.
It is too "fine-tuned" to be chance. I cannot argue the whole issue here, but I do believe in God as Creator. What His purposes are I do not know.

tanya123 · Answer

Ok, I decided not to chose the Big Bang... Can you give me two other theories besides this one because its really confusing really! I thought I would till @r0z3 would come back but... 

Wow your a Scientist !!! How Cool @douglaswinslowcooper

anonymous · Answer

Sorry! been crazy busy. So where are you at with this whole thing?

tanya123 · Answer

Same place you left with...
I still don't know if I choose the big bang then with what should I compare it with ?

tanya123 · Answer

@r0z3

anonymous · Answer

Some other compare/contrast ideas:
Calling vs. Texting
Reading a Book vs. Seeing a Movie
One location, place or event vs. Another location place or event
One person vs. Another (As in comparing two people) 
etc.

anonymous · Answer

The big bang theory is very scientific (although its still just a theory), so it would only make sense that you compare it with something like religion. pick a religion you know most about.

tanya123 · Answer

@r0z3 can you tell me another theory besides the big bang? because I really don't know about the big bang and also don't really want to do religion... I mean I actually would known what is the big bang theory, I would have certainly included a religion! Ok... Plus if you could just give me one difference and one similarity for the big bang and any religion then lets see...

anonymous · Answer

Go research it. It's by no means a difficult thing to understand(: http://www.letu.edu/opencms/export/download/chemphys/BigBang.pdf http://www.school-for-champions.com/religion/big_bang_theory_and_religion.htm#.UrHWMPRDuuA couple interesting reads. & if you're trying to do this without having to learn anything new, I'd rather not be asked for help.
