Stephen Hawking claims. ‘There was NOTHING before the Big Bang’
Stephen Hawking
In Genesis 1:1 it says, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
Now, what about the origin of the universe from those that do not believe in God? Those who do not accept the biblical account tend to believe in what is called the ‘big bang’ theory.
But what was supposedly before that?
Theoretical physicist and atheist Stephen Hawking has given his answer to what precipitated the so-called ‘big bang’:

We’ve heard a lot about the Big Bang. It’s the moment when something impossibly tiny began to grow over the next billions of years to become the universe that we know (at least partially) today.
But what was there before it? Anything? Nothing? Some small, inaudible bangs?
Neil deGrasse Tyson, on his “Star Talk” show, sat his fellow physicist Stephen Hawking down and asked for his view.
Hawking offered a simple and direct answer.
“Nothing was around before the Big, Big Bang,” Hawking said.
He explained that Einstein’s Theory of Relativity insists space and time form a continuum curved by the matter and energy in it.
For Hawking, therefore, the beginning of the universe is best described by a Euclidean approach.
“Ordinary real time is replaced by imaginary time,” he said. Honestly, that happens to me all the time. I imagine time has gone by at a certain pace, only to discover I’ve been imagining things.
For Hawking, however, imaginary time “behaves like a fourth direction of space.” https://www.cnet.com/news/stephen-hawking-tells-degrasse-tyson-what-preceded-big-bang/
So, Dr. Hawking claims that out of nothing everything physical came into existence.
Well, then there must have been something spiritual that caused it to come into existence. Not time.
By definition, there is nothing in nothing, hence nothing cannot create everything. Consider also the following:
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them: for God hath shown it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse (Romans 1:19-20).
The fact of a physical universe opposes the view that nothing created it.
Actually, what preceded the “big bang” has always been a problem for the foolish evolutionist types.

The Big Bang theory is the idea that the entire universe began as a pinprick that has been expanding ever since—essentially, that the only reason the universe feels so vast is because it’s had 13.8 billion years to get that way. The idea itself has held up pretty well, although scientists still aren’t quite sure what force is driving all that growth.
And of course, the theory itself doesn’t do anything to explain where precisely that first dot of the universe came from in the first place, hence the brainteaser. And we do mean it when we say brainteaser—Hawking’s explanation includes this excellent line: “Ordinary real time is replaced by imaginary time, which behaves like a fourth direction of space.”
But don’t let that scare you off; his main point is surprisingly easy to grasp: Hawking approaches the problem by offering a detailed analogy, comparing space-time to any other continuous, curved surface, like the surface of the Earth. “There is nothing south of the South Pole,” Hawking says. The same principle holds with the universe: “There was nothing around before the Big Bang.” http://www.newsweek.com/what-watch-stephen-hawking-explain-what-he-thinks-came-big-bang-829026
Dr. Hawking’s logic is false and his conclusion is wrong. Yes, relying on IMAGINARY TIME as the cause of the universe is not correct, despite Dr. Hawking trying to make his view sound scientific.
To say there was nothing is not scientific. Oh yes, Dr. Hawking claimed that somehow time caused it, but that is also an erroneous and absurd position.
Even back in New Testament times, there were those who called error ‘science,’ which is what evolution as an explanation of the origin of life and the origin of the universe is. Notice something that the Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy:
20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. (1 Timothy 6:20-21, KJV)
But God is spiritual and created the universe. Those who think that with nothing the universe popped up without God are really being absurd.
The Apostle Paul also wrote the following to Timothy:
7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; 9 but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, (2 Timothy 3:7-9)
People like Dr. Hawking are always claiming to be learning. But obviously, he and others like him have NOT been able to come to the knowledge of the truth. He and the bulk of the evolutionists are NOT progressing, ARE RESISTING THE TRUTH, and the folly of their positions should be obvious to all. Dr. Hawking’s recent statement, “there was nothing around before the Big Bang,” is a public manifestation to all that the evolutionists’ explanations for the origin of the universe without a Creator God is folly.
The only logical explanation of what preceded the physical universe is that something not physical always existed and brought the universe into existence.
That is what the Bible teaches.
A spiritual being, the Creator God, initiated the universe.
True science and real logic must conclude that this is so (see also Is God’s Existence Logical?).
Stephen Hawking and ‘Alien Destruction’ CBS reported that theoretical physicist and atheist was concerned about three ways humanity could be destroyed. One of them was actually by being conquered by aliens. Does the Bible give credence to anything that could be considered as ‘alien’? Will ‘alien beings’ be a factor in Armageddon? Will humans fight against Jesus when He returns? Will the result of the type of ‘alien interventions’ the Bible discusses turn out in disaster or peace? This is a video.
Stephen Hawking is wrong about the ‘end of the world’ Atheist and theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking stated that humans will not last another 1000 years on planet Earth. His ‘solutions’ included finding another planet or looking for alternative planes of existence. Dr. Hawking is considered the smartest man on the Earth according to some, but you can know more of the truth if you. believe what the Bible itself teaches. Dr. Thiel quotes the words of Jesus and other portions of scripture to explain where Dr. Hawking is right about some of his ideas, but wrong about others. Does the Bible show that all Christians be protected at the end or only a few? This is a video.
Is God’s Existence Logical? Some say it is not logical to believe in God. Is that true? Here is a link to a YouTube sermon titled Is it logical to believe in God?
Is Evolution Probable or Impossible or Is God’s Existence Logical? Part II This short article clearly answers what ‘pseudo-scientists’ refuse to acknowledge. Here is a link to a YouTube video titled Is There Another View of Evolution? and another titled Quickly Disprove Evolution as the Origin of Life.
How Old is the Earth and How Long Were the Days of Creation? Does the Bible allow for the creation of the universe and earth billions of years ago? Why do some believe they are no older than 6,000 years old? What is the gap theory? Were the days of creation in Genesis 1:3 through 2:3 24 hours long? Here is a link to a sermon: Genesis, ‘Prehistoric man,’ and the Gap theory. Here is a link to a related article in Spanish: ¿Cuán vieja es la Tierra? ¿Cuán largos fueron los Días de la Creación? ¿Teoría de la brecha?
