God, Science and the Big Bang

In the beginning God created the entire Universe. All of it! All matter and energy; but it was smaller than a proton, infi nitely hot, and infi nitely dense. It was pure force in the beginning. Then God allowed this force to expand. It did not expand like a balloon. It was fl at like a discus, that is, thin around the edges and thicker in the middle. As this force expanded it cooled and began to form particles of matter, energy, and light. At first these particles were packed so close together that they kept bumping into each other and nothing was able to escape from the expanding mass. It was dark and the Spirit was hovering over this expanding mass. The Spirit was watching for just the right moment when all the particles were in the exact place that God wanted them to be. When the mass had expanded to a diameter of about 300,000 light years and cooled to about 3,000 degrees, the Spirit noted that the mass had the density of water and the particles of matter were now in clumps. These clumps were not evenly distributed but were placed through out the expanding mass in just the right position. Then The Word spoke; “LET THERE BE LIGHT!” When The Word spoke, great clumps of matter, energy, and light streamed out from the expanding mass and formed all the structures of the Universe.
