"Astronomers now find they have painted themselves into a corner.."
"..because they have proven, by their own methods, that the world began abruptly in an act of creation to which you can trace the seeds of every star, every planet, every living thing in this cosmos and on the earth. And they have found that all this happened as a product of forces they cannot hope to discover. That there are what I or anyone would call supernatural forces at work is now, I think, a scientifically proven fact." (Robert Jastrow)
I've talked about this before, about how there's really no conflict between science and religion other than the timescales involved. The Bible talks about God creating the universe and literally everything in it, in ways a man born thousands of years ago could comprehend - with a little faith.
Science tells us that everything - literally everything - all time, space, mass, energy, all the stars and galaxies and all the little planets that surround them.. All the Dark Matter, Dark Energy, Supermassive Black Holes, and all the matter in all the universe sprang from an infinitely small point called The Singularity.. In a nano-second it went from a single point smaller than the proton in a hydrogen atom, to an infinitely hot, rapidly expanding universe the size of our solar system.
I dunno... I think Science is still trying to tell us how the world came to be, in terms an ordinary man might be able to grasp today. But both explanations seem to require an awful lot of faith. So if I were Science, I wouldn't be casting any stones, know what I mean?
