Religion

[The_Rorschach]

"So you don't think any religious literature is literal (i.e. god is actually the big bang/whatever happened at the beginning and not a big black man with white puffy hair in the clouds) ?"

I want chapter and verse of any scriptue which proclaims God is the Big Bang, or even equates one with the other in the loosest terms.

Genesis 1:1 does, however, states, "In the begnning God created the Heavens and the Earth" which, literally, defines the parameters of creation:

A..) Time ("In the beginning. . .")
B..) Space (. . .the Heavens. . .")
C.)) Matter ("and the Earth")

But not the means of that production. Maybe I'm just an ignortant yokel, but never in my readings have I glimpsed anything which could possibly encompass the manner of creation, aside from He spoke it and it was. Bubba, not to be insulting, but you obviously have no idea what is in the Bible, and quite possible no other religious text out there. Until you get an adequate background for this discussion, why not simply drop it?
