Have creationists proposed a religious alternative to the big bang theory?

First of all when people say that we used to think the earth was the center of the universe there is a misunderstanding. The model at one point in time was that the earth was mid way between heaven and hell. Sort of center between heaven and hell and was viewed more of a dumping point or garbage heap etc etc. However, modern science has shown that the earth revolves around the sun, the sun revolves around the center of the milky way and the milky way is one of innumerable galaxies.

Logically, there should be tons and tons of earth like planets out there that support intelligent life. Is what the scientists said. Now there is a staggering amount of evidence that the Earth is really a privileged planet.

In order to have a planet you need a certain amount of materials, specifically iron. Without earths molten iron core we would not have a magnetic shield that protects us from the deadly radiation in space. In order to have enough material you need a large galaxy.

A pretty large galaxy. The milky way is in a small percent of the largest galaxies in the universe. You also need the right type of galaxy, spiral is the most rare.

The other two types, ellipse and irregular cannot support life. This is because the stars in these galaxies swarm about randomly like bees. This means if the earth was in there it would have a very irregular and unstable orbit minimally.

Worst case scenario it would hit a sun, or get swallowed by a black hole. In the milky way there are two arms that are also full of suns. If our solar system was in there the same problems with too many stars would occur.

Our solar system is right between these arms in a safe zone, and it has a circular orbit so it won't go into the danger zones of the arms. The solar system also needs to be close enough to the center of the galaxy for necessary planet building materials, but also not too close to the center where there are also a lot of stars plus the super massive black hole as another danger. So our solar system is in just the right spot in the galaxy.

Our sun isn't as common a star as you would think. It isn't too big, it isn't too small, it isn't too hot, and it isn't too cold. And it will last a longer time then many other stars.

Our planet earth is just the right distance from the sun. You need to be in the zone where the sun won't boil off the water, but not too far away that water will freeze. Even within this zone you need to be close enough to the sun otherwise the atmosphere would need carbon dioxide to hold in the warmth more, and if there is too much carbon dioxide then there isn't the oxygen needed for higher brain functions.

These specifics about water assume that carbon and water based life forms are the most likely (and carbon makes the most type of chemical compounds and water dissolves more compounds than other liquids). But even if you believe life could come about through other means (like silicon...) The planet would still need to have a stable temperature. This requires a circular orbit.

And the large planets in the solar system also need a circular orbit or they would upset the life bearing planet's orbit. Scientists have viewed other solar systems similar to our but the planets are in elliptical orbits, which kind of surprised them. The axis of rotation for the planet also needs to be just exact and constant (other planets axises of rotation are not stable and change) The moon plays a crucial role in keeping the earths axis just right and as such keeping the earth from boiling off all its water or becoming a solid lump of ice.

The earth is also just the right size, its big enough to keep its iron core melted, unlike Mars, and its not too big. If too big there would be far far too many volcano eruptions. Also, in the forming of earth, a very complex and fiddly process took place that put minerals near the surface of the planet, and not in the core.

So with this evidence naturalists will have to believe, that against all odds, we hit the universal jackpot. IMO the odds are so against this that the above facts I listed support intelligent design. You stack these odds with the INCREDIBLE fine tuning of the universal constants.

(Change one by less than .01% and good by suns, planets and life as we know it) A conservative number is 1 out of 10^53. Thats one out of a hundred million trillion trillion trillion trillion (something similar to that). Also add the fact that lifes basic unit, a cell, is irreducibly complex.

As in, if you remove one component, the cell will not work. And there are hundreds of components and most more complex than anything man has ever created. So all these specific components would have had to randomly form, randomly come together in a very very very precise order all at the same time.

Odds even greater than the fine tuning of the universe and greater than the privileged planet we live on (IMO). So to follow Darwinism you would have to believe that we won three incredible agains.

The original concept of the "big bang" was proposed by a Catholic priest - Georges Lamaitres - not an atheist. Evolution is a fact. It is also not an 'atheist" concept.

The majority of Christians understand how both concepts fit in with God's plan for the universe. See: http://www.songofgenesis.org.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
