The Big Bang Event is the general term applied to a group of naturalistic (non-supernatural) theories which attempt to explain the origin and subsequent development of the physical cosmos. Technically there was no medium through which sound could travel so there was no “bang”; it was actually The Big Flash Event.
“In the beginning God created the heavens” (14 billion BC [14,000,000,000] years ago) “and the earth” (4.5 billion BC [4,500,000,000 years ago]) !!.
The inexplicable Precondition Problem: Essentially all naturalistic, secular scientist agree that “in the beginning” all the matter of the future cosmos was concentrated in a single point in space and at an energy density level which was essentially infinitely dense. How that condition could possible have happened, as a result of natural phenomenon, is utterly inexplicable by any of the known characteristics of physical matter and energy, but “let’s beg the question” and just say it was (without invoking the divine providence of it all).
Given that the inexplicable precondition did exist, the narrative of these theories describe how the universe expanded from an initial state of incredibly high energy density and temperature; a state of pure energy so concentrate that there was no physical matter what so ever, not even subatomic particles). This hyper concentrated state of pure energy then rapidly expanded and the extreme energy density lessened and as it did it cooled and sub atomic particles formed (condensed) out of the expanding cooling energy concentration which then became the initial components of physical matter. The subatomic particles coalesced into atoms which in turn reacted to form molecules, and thus the building blocks of the physical universe began to appear. These primordial elements, mostly hydrogen, with some helium and lithium, later coalesced as a result of gravitational forces, forming early stars and galaxies. Astronomers observe the gravitational effects of an unknown dark matter surrounding the galaxies of the cosmos. Most of the gravitational potential in the universe seems to be in the form of this dark matter.
The various cosmological models of the “big bang” propose to explain of the evolution of the observable universe from the earliest known periods through to its subsequent phase of the large-scale formation of “clouds” of matter further coalescing. These models offer a comprehensive explanation for a broad range of observed phenomena, including the abundance of light elements, the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB), and the large-scale structural properties of the current cosmos.
Crucially, these models are compatible with the Hubble–Lemaître law, the observation that the farther away a galaxy is, the faster it is moving away from Earth. Extrapolating this cosmic expansion backwards in time using the known laws of physics, the models describe an increasingly concentrated cosmos preceded by a singularity in which space and time lose meaning, typically named “the Big Bang Singularity” (which is the prevailing non-supernatural, secular, academic description of the fact that the initial inexplicably and incomprehensibly dense concentrate of energy which caused the big “bang” to occur CANNOT be explained by any imaginable physical theory of matter and energy). A wide range of empirical evidence strongly favors the Big Bang event, which is now essentially universally accepted. Detailed measurements of the expansion rate of the universe place the date of the Big Bang Singularity (the creation or origin of the cosmos) at an estimated 13.787±0.020 billion years ago, which is the age of the universe.
The big bang is, in general, a reasonable and most likely factual description of the divine creation sequence of the Cosmos.
What is, in my opinion, truly remarkable is how similar it is to the biblical description of God divinely creating the cosmos given in the Book of Genesis which was written at least 3,000 years ago and more probably some 4,000 years ago.
If one doesn’t get too hung up on “the petty narrative details” of the ancient text, the Genesis account sounds like a narrative which the divine creator God might reasonable have used to explain His creation event to an, as yet, scientifically unsophisticated, agrarian tribal people. God “spoke” creation into existence, and he did so sequentially over a period of six “days” (in Hebrew, six periods or epochs).
No other extant ancient creation myth gets anywhere near to this close to describing the events modern science has deduced about the creation/origin of the cosmos. If one is not a biblical literalist (i.e., a fundamentalist), then there is no significant conflict between the Biblical and the naturalistic descriptions of the origin of the cosmos. The ancient narrative account sounds remarkably similar to the modern secular account of the origin of the cosmos.
