Has the Big Bang Gone Bust

9 January 2006

     The 9 January 06 daily feature for the young earth creation science ministry Creation Moments discusses cold dark matter and the Big Bang.

     The author tells about how big bang believers invented "cold dark matter" in order to make their big bang theory work.  The gravity from the cold dark matter explained how the early universe could have developed into what they call a "lumpy universe."

     The Creation Moments author says "Now several eminent scientists have rejected the cold dark matter theory. The authors of the latest report on the subject had been some of the strongest supporters of the big bang theory."  Look at the date of the reference of this article...it comes from a Science News article, printed in 1989.  Yet the Creation Moments author calls this the "latest report on the subject!"  Before publishing an article, it would be wise of Creation Moments to use more up to date research.

     However, if they did use up to date research, it would not support their cause.  Fast forward to today, and most cosmologists accept cold dark matter.  That is not to say that cold dark matter does not have problems, but the major problems that are seen from its predictions do have solutions...we just don't know which ones are right.    

        As Christians we should thank God for giving us the wisdom to understand the universe.  However, this claim is typical of Creation Moments claims.  It is strictly a "God of the Gaps" type emotional argument (this is wonderful...God must have done it).  Presenting such an argument in defense of creation is a pointless exercise in futility...it will strengthen those who already believe, but will do nothing to argue for your position with the atheist or old earth creationist.
