When the one atom exploding, it generated the Sun, the Milky Way, all the stars..., and the entire universe. Such a crazy myth is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. How many people would believe it if it were placed a few decades ago? Strangely, in recent decades, people have already regarded the Big Bang as a mainstream "scientific theory."
So why does most of the people believe it now? Should we investigate the process of changing people's minds?
People today have been trained by "science" to believe in everything except normal thinking. For example, parallel worlds, such as going back in time and killing one's father..., people think they are normal "science". If we question the idea that science needs to be able to do repeatable experiments, they will think that our brain is rigid and cannot keep up with modern ideas. An article titled "Time travel using degenerate metrics" published by (Physical Review) in 2018 discussed how to do time travel. However, papers like the ones I am writing now that question the creation of the universe due to the explosion of one atom are generally rejected for publication, and were rejected by conferences where even ordinary college students' papers will be accepted. Is this a good scientific atmosphere where people cannot openly discuss different opinions at meetings?
How did all of these happen?
I think the biggest factor here is that people cannot distinguish the following points:
• Difference between theology and science.
• Science is not capable of explaining everything.
• How can we truly glorify God?
People can try to discover more secrets of God, but should not describe their thoughts as God's thoughts, nor should they label their myth as "science", just like Father Lemaître did. Doing so is subjectively praising God, but infact hurting Him. To use science to defend God often turns out being harmful to God. Theology is about spiritual knowledge, science is the knowledge about the life of human beings.
The simple question of which came first, the chicken or the egg, is a question that humans cannot answer. All we can say is God knows! Let alone how the world was created? Is this a question that a priest possibly answer?
