[Re: big bang]
So, where did the matter come from that exploded?
For God explains that He is the Alpha and Omega. And has always been. But science has yet to explain how this matter came to be. How can you compress matter into something the size of a dot on this page, when it is well known that certain things cannot be compressed beyond a certain point.
Example: I'd like to see someone take the water in our ocean and compress it to the size of a dot (.) on this page. Anyone?

True, it would become a black hole, then due to its size, explode with the force of a trillion nuclear bombs.
I'll take that challenge.
There are 326 million trillion gallons of water in the oceans. This works out to 1.23404425 × 10^24 cubic centimeters of water, and since the density of saltwater is 1.028 grams per cc, in our oceans there are 1.20043x10^24 grams of oceanwater.
Now, let's assume that the 'dot' is roughly somewhere between .001 and .01 cubic centimeters (since clearly we can't compress a three dimensional volume to a two dimensional length). We only need to compress it to the density of a neutron star to meet Admin3's challenge.
A neutron star with about the mass of the sun is 20 kilometers, or 2 000 000 centimeters, across. The mass of the sun is 1.98892 × 10^30 kilograms. If my calculations are correct, the equation looks like this:
(2 000 000)/(1.98892x10^30)=x/(1.20043 × 10^21)
X=.001207 centimeters.
So, yes, all the water in our oceans can be compressed down to the size of a dot. Take that, Christianity.

Actually, before the big bang, the universe was much, much smaller than that dot. About 1 Planck length, if I'm not mistaken.
Alpha means first and Omega means last. This may suggest longer than anything else but not "always".
And again I must rant,,,
An all-powerful God existed within nothing for untold eras? Being all by Himself with nothing to manipulate or relate too? He came about how and from what?!
Even Galactus came from the universe that was reduced to a singularity before the big bang that created ours. How ridiculous is that? Not as bad as your story
Where did god come from? If god has always been then matter and energy could have always been. You paradox yourself. If god exists then he has always been, so therefore the idea that matter had to come from something is rendered invalid by the fact that god somehow does not need a creator.
Fundies love to say evolution breaks the second law of thermodynamics. (which it doesn't as earth is not a closed system)
Yet they forget the idea of god creating everything breaks the first law. Their god falls at the first hurdle of the argument THEY present.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
