In The Bible - Not One Big Bang, But Two
By Bentley Thompson

One popular theoretical explanation of the origin of the universe is that there was a productive cosmic explosion called the "Big Bang" somewhere between 10 and 20 billion years ago. There also could be another "Bang" and the Bible might hint at them both.

Could there be a constructive explosion?
If the evolutionary theory on the origin of the universe has any credible bit of matter, it is the premise that there was once an explosion that was constructive. There could very well be a cosmic blast that "created" energy and matter.

Assuming the creationists' view of origins is correct, there would be no need to wonder where the "original" matter or energy that fuelled the "bang" came from. It must have come from mere words - "Let there be..."

Since that "Big Bang" there has never been another uncontrolled, yet constructive explosion recorded, I believe. Every other bang, blast, or explosion we read of today are cataclysmic and catastrophic events. Look at Hiroshima, and roadside bombs in parts of the world, for instance - all destructive events.

Looking at all the order in the universe - from the atomic structure to the arrangement of solar systems - we can imagine that the "big bang" must have been a truly exceptional bang!

No problem with the "big bang" concept, really
If even a strike of lightning can be so thunderous, why wouldn't the creation of massive planets, the ordering of the earth and solar system environments be commissioned on a 'bang'? Why would matter and energy creep "silently" into place when the Creator said, "Let there be...?" (Genesis 1:3, 7)
