" creation or big bang" ?
Both
There is no reason for the two to be mutually exclusive... and Scripture supports this conclusion.
Oh, but what fun would that be?
This is an important subject, worthy of some Christian Chat.
Let's start off with where the Scientists got the idea of the Big Bang in the first place.
They got it from the Kabbalah and Jewish Mysticism folks... Zohar and whatnot.
Basically something called 'Ein Sof' "exploded" along with a being called Adam Kadmon.
Oh, and just as an FYI... Adam Kadmon is the Anti-Christ.
Ray Kurzweil and the folks at Google are trying to put him back together again into something called The Singularity.
This is why folks need to understand what is being presented in this thread.
We are beginning to find out our existence is a type of 'simulation' (yes like the movie The Matrix) and, believe it or not, the Bible details this out.
They are basically trying to 'hack' into it with CERN etc.
Anyhoo...
That's where the idea came from and of course it's not Biblical.
However, the Bible *does* teach us there was a 'Big Bang' of sorts, but God calls it Leaven...
Matthew 13:33
"Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened"
Pretty straight forward and to the point.
What does Leaven do?
It 'puffs things up'.
Therefore, Leaven (Yeast) was 'hid' in the Kingdom of Heaven (our existence) which expanded it.
Here is your Big Bang...
In fact, Science uses this very analogy to describe our Universe!
That being said... the question remains... who, what, when, where and why did this happen?
The Garden of Eden has the answers.
The Forbidden Fruit contained something you folks may have heard of before...
The so called "God Particle". The God Particle is the Higgs Boson.
What is the Higgs Boson? The Bible calls it Leaven.
It's what 'puffed-up' our Universe (which was a Membrane at the time).
The Leaven in the Forbidden Fruit mixed with the Sugar and produced Alcohol. This Sugar and Alcohol is what we call Dark Energy.
The Bible calls it 'Cruel venom of Asps'.
Are you following what I'm saying?
No? That's OK.
If One watches the Double Slit Experiment video I posted earlier, then One will understand what I'm about to say next.
Adam and Eve existed in the world of Waves before the fall.
No 'Matter' (as we know of it) existed yet.
When Adam and Eve partook of the Forbidden Fruit with the Higgs Boson and Dark Energy, the Bible says that their 'Eyes' were opened...
Genesis 3:7
"And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons"
What happens when One's Eyes are opened?
In other words, what happens when One tries to observe a Wave?
It collapses.
Thus, Adam and Eve were the first Beings to collapse the Wave Function.
We call that event, the Big Bang.
This is why we cannot see the Fathers face... He exists in Wave Form only.
Jesus is the Mediator. Jesus can exist in Wave *AND* Particle, acting as a 'Bridge' to the Father.
BTW...
When you folks watched the Double Slit Experiment video, did it occur to you that a Slit is a Narrow Gate?
