Introduction

Philosophers and General people have come up with many theories, in an attempt to explain the origins of the earth. They have tried to come up with models which try to explain how the earth came into being, and its future. One of the popularly known theory is the Big Bang theory, which presupposes that for the universe to originate ,all matter that we know was contained in a tiny speck which went on to explode. The theory continues to develop and evolve from the time it was conceptualized. Scientists have taken part in contribution to this. For a long time now people have upheld various ideas of what the universe is like, from the Aristotelian to the Copernican universe among other ideas. Soon after the inventions of physics by Isaac Newton, philosophers began to think that there was a time when planets and perhaps stars did not exist but only a cloud of matter. Shortly after that it is believed that gravity pulled the matter into clumps, forming stars and planets. This sounds absurd of course, at least in my opinion because it is not possible that the universe and its complexity were as a result of a coincidental mistake .The big bang theory has some advantages and disadvantages as well, however he aim of this research paper is to examine the weaknesses of the Big bang theory and its flaws.

The theory does not indicate the very thing which brought the universe into existence, it explains the early stages of development of the universe. The Big bang theory uses some ideologies which state that, space and matter were initially part of an infinite like small point called the Singularity. The theory says does not indicate how the singularity came into being. It is thought to have been caused by a random event. Using the quantum theory some say that “things appeared from nothing and then disappear back into nothing. And since no one has seen any of that happen, it is difficult to make logical sense out of that belief. The big bang theory seems to have a “horizon problem”, it fails to explain why most of the universe has similar temperatures. Although scientists have tried to use the cosmic inflation hypothesis in explaining uniform temperatures, it still does not fully satisfy the problem. And it is does not correspond with any physical field. The horizon problem proves different parts of the universe have not been in with each other because of the vast distance separating them. Even physical properties are the same in these regions. One interesting thing though is that transfer of energy and information is possible at the speed of light. The universe is thought to be flat, but upon observation, one may see that it can never be this way. The inflationary hypothesis has been employed in attempts to this idea.

Astronomy helps us to understand the universe we live in. A simple illustration of shadows and sticks can simply show that the earth can never be flat. If a stick is placed on the floor or ground, it produces a shadow. As time es by, the shadow moves as well .Had it been true that the world is indeed flat, then two sticks placed in different locations would be expected to produce the same shadow. But they do not, because the earth is spherical not flat. The existence of time zones also prove that the earth can never be flat. This is especially so because different parts of the universe experience different weather, daylight and night time and some countries are either ahead or behind time wise.

The theory contradict with the law of thermodynamics, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. The theory addresses the evolution of the universe, instead of the creation. It is claimed that it all began from nothing. At the moment it is apparent that no one can fully explain the absolute prevalence of matter in the universe. Using human understanding of the earth, the universe should have the same amount of both anti matter and matter. Examining carefully the creation of the universe, one can see that laws of science break down and they are not put into . The bible has ages that talk about God alone who can break or go against the laws of science and physics. This may indicate that the Universe was as a result of creation by a higher being whom man has tried to understand since the beginning of time.

The theory is a challenge to Christian faith it is unbiblical, because the origins of the universe are attributed to a natural cause. This poses a challenge to the bible since creation of the entire universe from natural event would suggest no need for a God. The big bang theory also suggests that the earth may not have a special place and its inhabitants as well. From a creationist point of view, God created the heavens and the earth and everything in it. He made these beautiful for our enjoyment, but most importantly that his glory may be shown throughout eternity. The big bang theory contradicts the bible where Gods power is shown in the creation week and his love on the day of the Sabbath.

Conclusion There are many justifiable accusations to level at the Big Bang theory, such as its reliance on falsifying factors, like dark matter. One thing seen is that the Big Bang theory is

not based on solid compelling facts. There is a substantial minority of atheistic, secular scientists who do not accept it, either. Creationists do not accept the theory because it is contradicts the bible. The theory ignores the possibility that the Earth may have a special place, whereas the God’s word tells us that it does (Isaiah 45:12). Despite the heavens being wonderfully designed, they were nevertheless created for the benefit of humankind (Genesis 1:14) and, most importantly for Gods glory (Psalm 19:1). The theory requires a lot of faith to accept as compared to Genesis 1.it takes more to believe that the universe just came into being accidentally. Hence the theory needs continual challenge
