The Bing Bang does not contradict Catholic Teaching

I think I understand what you mean in your first paragraph. Are you saying we can only understand what singularity means but we cannot comprehend what it is? But if so, that sounds a lot like God. We can know of God's omnipotence, and some of who He is, but we cannot fully understand Him. Our minds do not fully comprehend our God, otherwise there would be no religious questioning. We know of God through Divine Revelation and human reason alike, not just "holy books." And in the same way we can understand what singularity means but not what it is, we understand what God's omnipotence means, but we cannot fully understand how He uses that omnipotence sometimes. The reason i mention that "Just because we can't comprehend that which we do not understand does not necessitate its nonexistence" was merely to bring up a point that some people who view this debate might argue against God. Now lets say you are a Hebrew living in a time that had extremely limited understanding of universal studies. No one had yet truly proven much astronomy with science. Most of what you knew about the universe was centered around our own planet, sun, and moon. They may have tracked stars, but they could not yet understand how a universe would be expanding. It makes sense to you and I to say the universe began in a speck of matter that continually spread out with great force. But for the people of the time, such a statement would be absurd. The prophets were not modern day physicists, or even high school physic students. Without first understanding that the universe is an extremely vast space, there is gravitational force, along with the concepts of matter and energy, the ancient prophets would have no way of beginning to comprehend the universe being created by such a means. There was no foundation from which to accept such a theory as the Big Bang. It would make more sense in order to convey the message that created the universe in a way that was perfectly understandable to the common human at the time. So actually, it was quite an ingenious way to explain creation at the time. Who told you the Church did not create the Bible???? That is ridiculous. The Bible is the COLLECTIVE arrangement of Old and New Testaments. Obviously, the scriptures in the Old Testament predate the Church, and they are supposed to. But those scriptures by themselves are not the Bible. They are parts of the Bible, but the Bible is the compilation of ALL the scriptures from the Old and New Testament. The Church was the one who compiled these writings into what is known as the Bible. So yeah, the Church created the Bible! And so what if the hebrews were Jewish? Jesus was a Jew. That has nothing to do with the argument about the Bible. Also your historical reference is wrong. Catholicism had officially existed before 325, hence the persecution of Catholics. Constantine, by issuing what is known as the Edict of Nicaea, LEGALIZED Christianity in Rome. Constantine never made it "the official religion of Rome." It was not until under Theodosius in 380 AD, that Christianity was made the official religion of Rome. Catholicism does have a central rule book that covers the Church from A-Z. It is called the Catechism of the Catholic Church. You might ask, who wrote the Catechism of the Catholic Church? The Magisterium wrote it. Read the whole thing and you will understand everything about Catholic faith and the Bible. Catholic beliefs are not defined by those who hold them. Catholicism is centered around infallible doctrines of faith. And if someone doesn't agree with a doctrine, like Martin Luther chose to do, then that person is no longer a Catholic. Catholics who read the entire Bible literally are no longer acting in the way of Catholicism. And those who say the Bible is entirely an allegory also are no longer acting in the ways of Catholicism. I would tell those people, who clearly do not understand the Catholic faith and teaching, to read the Catechism of the Catholic Church. And people would not be conforming to me. They would be acting in line with Catholic doctrine. And the breaking of a Catholic doctrine is grounds for excommunication with the Church. People who don't act in the way the Catholic Church teaches and those who don't believe what the Catholic Church teaches are not true Catholics. Its not my own subjective viewpoint of Catholicism they are supposed to "conform" to. And guess what, there are good and bad catholics. But the Church is willing to accept anyone and forgive anyone if that person is willing to seek forgiveness, even a bad Catholic. Finally, and I actually just discovered this while I was researching the Big Bang today, I would ask you to look up who first proposed the theory of the Big Bang. His name was Georges Lemaitre. And guess what. He was a Jesuit priest working at the Catholic University of Leuven. Jesuits are a Catholic order, so you can thank a Catholic for coming up with the first theory of the Big Bang!!
