Big Bang?!

A few of us went to see our friends' mock presentation today. They wanted us to sit in and give comments about their presentantion, which we were more than happy to do. After the presentation, as usual, we lingered in the lecture hall. And the topic of our belief came up spontaneously. And those left in the room were believers, except for one. He's one of the few friends I made since coming. A very nice chap nonetheless, ever amiable and extremely helpful.

And often, the idea of big bang came about and since all of us are reading chemical engineering, we tried to be scientific about this. It is highly recommended only if you know both the Bible and science well, which is not in my case. The idea of big bang stresses on how the universe became what it was from that huge explosion years ago. Standing from where I stood, it wasnt possible. It clashes with the second law of thermodynamics. The idea of big bang starts from the idea where all things became so dense that it forms only a point. It was from this point that things burst out. However, the second law of thermodynamics says that things tend to disperse. The idea of entropy comes in. You see, it's apparent in the nature of things around us, even in humans. Imagine this, when you are in a crowded room, you tend to move away from the crowd, you tend to disperse. So, if by the nature of things, if they do not even tend to stick together, how is it possible that all things densed up to become a point? Someone said that the idea of big bang correlates with the Bible. Where is that?

We went on talking about Moses parting the Red Sea and how evidence are now being found in the archeology field of the remains of the chariots under the sea. And Noah's ark came into our topics as well. There's a school of thoughts that chinese words stem from the incidents mentioned in the Bible. The word boat for example. One of us begged to differ. He claimed that chinese characters originates from pictograms in the ancient days. And it's not right to argue from the current characters we have today. He is simply unconvinced, standing his grounds. We all turned silent and thought if it's possible for the same idea to be incorporated in pictograms before going through transformations in character writing.

Our conclusion was soemwhat this; That the idea of big bang and God creating human and the universe are just two different school of beliefs. In fact, as people put it, different religions.
He brought up another point which kept me thinking. He ask if it make a difference if we all pray so much. My inner self was shouting "YES!" But I restrained and thought again. Maybe he's not seeing it because I have not been living rightly. What happened to my living testimony? I had failed terribly.

It was good discussing this and hearing from them their ideas of the beginning of the world, even more from him because he thinks from the scientific view points. He commented that could God be out of control because there is simply just a huge boom of humans on Earth. Could God have expected us to be what we are? Or are we too much to handle by God? God said in His word that His thoughts are higher and they are not ours. How great is that! Truly, how could we ever grasp God's mind? To Him, wisdom of the world is foolishness to Him.

And oh, please correct me if I am wrong.
