The attempt to associate Christianity and Islam to modern science can prove disasterous! Why? Because in the reality, modern science knows nothing.
Whether there was a Big Bang or not, is a question far too incomprehensible to any scientist, despite his degree or studies; lets be honest we possess little knowledge about our own earth, and even less about our own bodies, and now scientist believe they can predict the exact details of cosmological origins; utter nonsens.
Hawking stated that his Big Bang postulates was favoured particularly by fundamental Christians, who of course believe in a beginning of the universe.
To this, however, it must be mentioned, that Hawking's postulates reveals a complicated idea, in which the universe had a beginning without a beginning; which obviously supports his possible agnostic tendencies that the universe might be far too random for a creator; thus the phrase: 'God does not play dice'.
Because of some the highly mixed theological elements within Hawking's writing a lot of Christians are drawn toward his scientific imagination.
I myself, in the past have been highly drawn toward the Big Bang theory, which clearly debunks the atheist foundation.
I therefore, with an open mind ventured on a long scientific journey of resarch to grasp the Big Bang theory and its expansion.
Today, however, my personal viewpoint on the Big Bang is everything but positive.
My present conclusion is that science is rather unsignificant as we are moving slowly, and most theories, even those we take for granted, rely on speculation and theories.
Take the atom; we do know how to dabble with it, but we have never seen it, yet we claim to describe with exact details, e.g. that the atom consists of the nucleus (the proton and the neutron) and the electron, between these three particles (so to speak) we predict a range of forces such as electromagnetic, the strong force, gluons and phositrons.
We have never seen a electron, but we predict exactly how fast it orbits the nucleus.
My point is, how long will it take until all these theories exchange into another theory. I am not saying these theories are wrong, but I am simply not convinced.
As to the Koran, a range of Muslim attempt to compare the creation of the universe with the modern speculation on the Big Bang. However, anyone possessing any insigth into cosmological science quickly realises that there is simply no comparison.
The Koranic concept of the origins consists strongly with the ancient mythological view on creation, that of the breaking of a part into earth and the heavens.
This is ancient common science, not modern, thus not a miracle, what so ever.
If we really want to speculate in this way and consider modern cosmology, then probably Stoichism is the closesth, not that I follow the Stoich path, but I hope you get my point.
