Default God or the Big Bang

There is a difference?

Intelligent design or happy accident would you be able to tell the
difference? And would it matter?

Yes there is. If you believe in God you believe in the Bible. In the Bible
all things were created by God just simply speaking in six literal days. You
can't mix evolution with the Bible. You either believe in God and six
literal days or you don't believe in any god whatsoever and believe in
evolution or you believe is some other religion.

I don't believe in any god and think evolution is the best possible theory
with our current small understanding of science.

Belief in the Bible? Yes. The question is not belief,
but how one *interprets* same- and its probably not
the same way you do...almost everyone gives it a slight
slant to conform to their own...opinions about everything
else...and I admit, I do too.....ie - non-literal.
eg...you probably interpret "Let there be Light" as a
direct intervention...wave your Magic Wand thingy...
I interpret it as the BB and the 300,000 year period immediately
following the Big Bang where light and radiation was
all that existed...Who's right? Who knows? Who cares?
We all live with our own values and opinions.
FWIW,

There are many many Gods/gods not mentioned in the Bible.

But which is the right or real one? Just because one believes in
something doesn't make it a fact.


I agree. I have no God/god belief.

Not so. For one thing, the Hebrew word commonly translated as "day"
can apparently also be translated as "epoch", which allows Creation to
take a sensible amount of time, and indeed the official position of
the Vatican is that "Let there be light" refers to the Big Bang.

Actually, I heard a couple of folks discussing this, and one told the other:
"When God decided to let there be light, he told yo' mamma to get her big butt
out of the way...

I don't think the two can be distinguished by physical measurement. That
is, physical measurement will not tell you whether God was the cause of the
Big Bang.
