Creationism(P) vs (C)Popular Non-theist Theory of Creation

Thank you very much for your opening statement. Evidence shows that our universe began 13.8 BILLION years ago. There is also evidence for a theory commonly known as The Big Bang. Creationists try to make the Big Bang sound ridiculous, saying that something cannot come of nothing. Is that not what creationism actually states? Let's begin with God. The Bible's Old Testament (the Torah) begins with the statement "In the beginning". What beginning is it referring to? It conveniently leaves out the beginning of everything but Earth. It does not explain the beginning of the Universe. This is because the authors of the Bible had no knowledge of a Universe, rather, they thought it was only our solar system. Therefore, the "beginning" common holy books refer to is not the beginning at all; it is the beginning of the human race. That is not the beginning of the Universe. Back to the "something from nothing" argument. Did God have the sun in his pocket? The Bible states that he created the sun, or "light" from nothing. This, in my opinion, shows the unrealism of the Bible. We can easily have come from a coincidence in genetic code. 13.8 billion years is a VERY long time. With the average lifespan at around 80 years, that's over 172,000,000 times our entire life. Does that not make the theory of the Big Bang and evolution possible? While there is no DEFINITIVE proof of evolution and the Big Bang, there is strong evidence for it. Let me begin by saying that the word "theory" means something entirely different in science. In normal conversation, I could say anything as crazy as I wanted to describe the beginning of the Universe, and it would be a theory. In science, a theory is an explanation for something and has a large amount of evidence, as evolution does. Creationists like to argue that evolution has no proof. That is a common misconception. There is proof of evolution in small organisms such as bacteria. These are commonly called mutations. No one can deny the evidence of these small changes in organisms, which is evidence of the EXTREME likelihood of something similar occurring in humans. Now I will explain evidence for the Big Bang. We do have evidence that something can indeed come from nothing. Though it is hard for our minds to comprehend, there is a high possibility that the Big Bang Theory is correct. However, it is hard to argue that the Big Bang sounds hard to believe because of the idea that something can come from nothing, when almost all religions say the same thing. They believe that God came from nothing, that He was "before" time. The statement on its own is impossible. The word before indicates time, and therefore cannot occur with the absence of time. Your opening statement is very flawed. You provided no evidence or explanation, rather told a story on how life was created. It baffles me that you do not even acknowledge the other side of the argument, as I am about to do so. There is nothing that disproves the idea of a god. It is possible, but unlikely. I am not arrogant enough to say that there is much of a difference in intelligence between theism and atheism, rather a concept of faith. Faith is not something I can understand. I cannot have faith in something that has not been proven to me. Therefore, God has not shown anything to me. If he had, I would consider it proof and would be changed completely. In conclusion, there is much stronger evidence to support the idea of atheistic creation than there is to support theism. Thank you.
