I Believe In the Big Bang Theory

I believe in the big bang theory.
I do. I really, really do.
According to The California Institute of Technology, the big bang theory is defined as follows:
"The universe began by expanding from an infinitesimal volume with extremely high density and temperature. The universe was initially significantly smaller than even a pore on your skin. With the big bang, the fabric of space itself began expanding like the surface of an inflating balloon – matter simply rode along the stretching space like dust on the balloon's surface. The big bang is not like an explosion of matter in otherwise empty space; rather, space itself began with the big bang and carried matter with it as it expanded."
I believe that.
I do have one question though. Where is the mechanism? What is the force which began it all? Surely the universe is not a random error which came out of nothingness. It is more than that.
Look at these pieces of universe.











You live among all of that.
Isn't it astounding?
How though? How did all of this come to be? How did matter begin?
I don't know.
But I bet God does.
See, God is the missing link. He's the answer to the great question of how it all began. One day, it will be proven by science. Why? Because all things denote there is a God. Science and religion are not separate entities. They work simultaneously, and prove each other to be true. That is to say, true science and true religion.
One may say that God doesn't need the big bang theory, He could just make it all appear.
That may be true, but it's not what scripture says.
Genesis chapter one clearly shows that God was very articulate and purposeful in his creation of the universe. Genesis 1:1 says that, "In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth." That's what the most accepted English translation says. However, there are more ways to translate this phrase.

Another translation provided by Reading the Old Testament: Introduction to the Bible (pg. 38) says it like this, “When in the beginning Elohim created heaven and earth—earth being untamed and shapeless . . . —Elohim said, ‘Let there be light.’”

This fits exactly with the big bang theory, which according to space.com starts like this:

"In the first second after the universe began, the surrounding temperature was about 10 billion degrees Fahrenheit (5.5 billion Celsius), according to NASA. The cosmos contained a vast array of fundamental particles such as neutrons, electrons and protons. These decayed or combined as the universe got cooler. This early soup would have been impossible to look at, because light could not carry inside of it. "The free electrons would have caused light (photons) to scatter the way sunlight scatters from the water droplets in clouds," NASA stated. Over time, however, the free electrons met up with nuclei and created neutral atoms. This allowed light to shine through about 380,000 years after the Big Bang."

Excepting the timelines, it fits just right. The universe was untamed and shapeless. Then there was light, and the universe continued to grow. The accounts support each other perfectly. There is no way that Moses when writing Genesis knew the big bang theory. His knowledge was the word of the great creator Himself. 

So when I am asked if I believe in the big bang theory, my answer is yes, yes I do; and I believe that God is the one who began and directed the process. 

What a marvelous process it has been.
