Gentle Religious Question of the Week
What, actually, is the difference between the Big Bang Theory in Cosmology and the part of the Vulgate at Genesis 1:3, "fiat lux. Et facta est lux"?
Just asking.
Just asking.

There was nothing but darkness without form and then God said, let there be light, and there was light. Seems a similar time line to the Big Bang to me. I too, however, am not an expert.
Cosmology says the Big Bang just happened, we don't know why? Is that right, Doug. How unsatisfying.
It's also unsatisfying that I can't fly by flapping my arms. That doesn't mean there's some obligation that the universe provide me with that capability.
If a theory cannot generate testable statements, it's not science. If you can make and test such a statement about the cause of the big bang. Absent such a predictive statement, "entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem".
