“The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one” (Psalms 14:2–3).

The Big Bang Theory is a cosmological or world view theory which postulates that the universe originated approximately 20 billion years ago from the violent explosion of a very small agglomeration of matter of extremely high density and temperature. Literally billions of dollars have already been spent by various nations of the world trying to prove the Big Bang Theory is correct. To date, there has been no reward for the billions spent.

Now, scientists in France want almost 13 billion more dollars to build a 31 mile tunnel called the International Linear Collider. “Instead of whirling atoms in giant rings, as CERN, a particle physics laboratory outside Geneva, and the smaller Tevatron at Fermilab near Chicago do, scientists want a new-generation machine that will shoot them straight” (Associated Press, Emma Vandore, Business Writer).

Whatever information gathering value there may be in smashing atoms, what is missing in the elusive search for the Big Bang theory is a bonified rationale for the inquiry which is not based on science. Some simple questions still remain. “By what mechanism did the original explosion take place?” “If men with impressive machines do replicate a Big Bang, does that not speak of intelligent design?” And if intelligent design recreated an event how much greater is the Intelligent Designer of the original creation without machines?” “Can everything come out of nothing?” “Can order come out of disorder?”

Personally, I cannot help but think that what is ultimately driving the quest to prove The Big Bang theory is a desire to dismiss God and to show the universe does not need Him. The cosmological view of secular humanism, which often masquerades under the cloak of science, is that the universe is self-created, self-generated, and self-sustaining, until of course it dies out in the distant future through the natural law of entropy.

It is important to remember that the Big Bang theory is exactly that; it is a theory spawned in the minds of men, many of whom are emotionally driven by a philosophy of atheism which forms their cosmology. But that is not science. It is religion, the religion of secular humanism. Such a religion hurts multitudes of people by diverting billions of dollars from other areas of legitimate research, such as trying to find a cure for cancer.

That so many nations willingly fund the godless quest to prove The Big Bang Theory is a human tragedy.  There is a high cost on earth that people pay for a non-scientific theory in support of a humanistic worldview.  It is all very foolish.
