Big Bang or Creation?

Introduction:

In my last talk on apologetics we dealt with the objection to miracles, that was the first of three talks on the scientific objections to Christianity.  Today we want to consider the objection to the Christians view of the beginning of the universe, and next week we will look at the objection to the Bible’s teachings on the origins of life.  Today many people believe that the Bible’s view of Creation is incorrect and that a Big Bang cosmology has done away with the problem of a Creator and makes them satisfied atheists.  Big bang cosmology has a very different shape of how the universe came into being than the straightforward reading of the Bible.  Today we want to look at Big bang cosmology and then think about how as Christians we hold the biblical teaching in light of this modern attack.
