Since the acceptance of the Big Bang theory as the dominant physical cosmological paradigm, there have been a variety of reactions by religious groups as to its implications for their respective religious cosmologies. Some accept the scientific evidence at face value, others seek to harmonize the Big Bang with their religious tenets, and some completely reject or ignore the evidence for the Big Bang theory.〔 〕 ==Background== The Big Bang itself is a scientific theory, and as such stands or falls by its agreement with observations. But as a theory which addresses the origins of reality it carries theological implications regarding the concept of creation out of nothing.〔 〕 In addition, many theologians and physicists have viewed the Big Bang as implicating theism;〔 〕 a popular philosophical argument for the existence of God known as the Kalām cosmological argument rests in the concepts of the Big Bang. In the 1920s and 1930s almost every major cosmologist preferred an eternal steady state Universe, and several complained that the beginning of time implied by the Big Bang imported religious concepts into physics; this objection was later repeated by supporters of the steady state theory,〔 〕 who rejected the implication that the universe had a beginning.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Religious interpretations of the Big Bang theory」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
