God and the Big Bang

[300 words] I was surprised to learn the Big Bang Theory is credited to Georges Lemaître (1894-1966), a Belgian Catholic priest. It’s concerning that an alleged “man of God” promoted such rubbish. Lemaître postulated that the observable universe began with the explosion of a single primeval atom. Aside from contradicting God’s Word (Genesis 1:1), this theory clearly violates two widely-accepted laws of physics: First, the law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed. Using a common application, that means we can’t form a brick unless we start with an equal amount (or mass) of clay, water, and aggregate material. Not a single atom. The second physics law violated here is the law of entropy. Simply put, explosions create chaos, not order. How nice it would be if we could detonate a stick of dynamite inside an Oak tree and out comes a beautiful set…
