In the article Godless Fake Science and in the book Godless Fake Science I described that much of the scientific narrative we have been taught from our school days onwards, is based on falsehood, and that the institution of ‘science’ itself has in many ways been hijacked by financial interests seeking to advance their own narrative and agenda. Modern science, like economics, banking, and corporate-owned mass media, has become part of a paradigm borne by deceit, and corporate greed; and which paints God out of the picture. The article described fake science in areas including climate science; the fake Covid-19 pandemic; the biopharmaceutical sector; and neo-Darwinian evolution.
In this article, I summarise an investigation of the ‘big bang theory’, with reference to selected books and articles that refer to this contentious subject.
The creation of the universe is explained today in mainstream modern science by the big bang theory, DNA research, and other models. The big bang theory was initially conceived by Georges Lemaitre, a Belgian priest in 1927. The theory proposes that the entire universe exploded from a state of infinite density, temperatures and pressure at extremely high-energy levels and then, expanded (inflated) and cooled.
We are meant to believe that this big bang took place about 13.7 billion years ago, came from nowhere and was caused by nothing, and yet created everything.
This is not only unscientific, it is stupidity, yet, because these ideas are endorsed and promoted by the modern-day institutional orthodoxy of science (the church of godless scientism), and by governments, we are expected to accept them.
The big bang theory has been adopted by mainstream science and has been promoted and taught as fact, as the scientific creation story, in virtually all the schools and universities of the world, and to almost the entire world population via TV programmes and ‘science’ documentaries. The financial and governmental forces behind the promotion of the atheistic ideologies of neo-Darwinian evolution and the ‘big bang’ have tried to convince the masses that these ideologies are scientific facts, but in reality, there is no scientific basis for these atheistic positions.
The ‘big bang theory’ contains untestable assumptions and excludes the existence of God, yet we are asked to accept it on ‘faith’
“Never run after a bus or woman or cosmological theory, because there’ll always be another one along in a few minutes.” – John Wheeler, Theoretical Physicist at Princeton University
Despite all this, many physicists and astrophysicists do not accept the theory and maintain that the big bang simply did not happen.
For example, physicist Eric Lerner published his work on the origin of the universe in his book The Big Bang Never Happened in 1991.
Over 30 significant problems with the big bang hypothesis are analyzed in the book Cult of the Big Bang by William Mitchell. Normally any model with so many problems would be discarded. The Princeton University biologist, Dr Edwin Godwin, has compared the chances of a planet like ours originating from a big bang to the likelihood of a dictionary resulting from an explosion in a printing shop.

For many people the big-bang ‘singularity’ is highly contentious. Could it simply be a another ‘big lie’?
A big lie being defined as a repeated distortion of the truth on a grand scale, especially for propaganda purposes. The renowned American scientist, mathematician, and author Richard L. Thompson (1947 – 2008), succinctly exposed the ridiculousness of the proposition that the big bang arose from a singularity. He stated:
“The big bang theory does not describe the origin of the universe at all, because the initial singularity is by definition indescribable…. And there is a further difficult. Where did the singularity come from? Here the scientist faces the same difficulty as the religionists they taunt with the question, “Where did God come from?” And just as the religionist responds with the answer that God is the causeless cause of all causes, the scientists are now faced with the prospect of declaring a mathematically indescribable point of infinite density and infinitesimal size, existing before all conceptions of time and space, as the causeless cause of all causes… To say that something happens once by chance is in essence no different from simply saying “it happened” or “there it is”. And these statements do not qualify as scientific explanations. In the end you wind up knowing no more than you did before. In other words, by invoking chance or the anthropic principle the scientists have not actually explained anything about the origin of the universe”” – Richard L. Thompson, Scientist and Mathematician, PhD from Cornell University
The author, Pierre St. Clair, author of the book Cosmology on Trial Cracking the Cosmic Code noted that an increasing number of cosmologists and physicists no longer accept the big bang theory, as evidenced by the following quotations:
“Big Bang cosmology is probably as widely believed as been any theory of the universe in the history of Western civilization. It rests, however, on many untested, and [in] many cases, untestable assumptions. Indeed, the Big Bang cosmology has become a bandwagon of thought that reflects faith a much as objective truth.” – Geoffrey Burbridge, Professor of Physics, University of California.
“For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story [of the big bang] ends like a bad dream. For the past three hundred years, scientists have scaled the mountain of ignorance and as they pull themselves over the final rock, they are greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.” – Robert Jastrow, Astrophysicist and Author of the book God and the Astronomers
“The theories we have so far (in physics) are both inconsistent and incomplete.” — Stephen Hawking, Astro-physicist
Despite this, the theory is still taught worldwide to billions of children, students and adults as the scientific creation story. The big bang has evolved into a worldwide belief system – much like a religion! Author, Pierre St. Clair describes the modern big bang creation story that science teaches today as a ‘leap of faith’:
“In the beginning scientists can’t say whether time, space, matter or energy existed. They have various hypotheses… Suddenly, ‘something’ materialized… scientists call that ‘something’ a singularity. It was smaller than atom but it contained all the matter and energy that was to become our universe. Of course, accepting that everything in the cosmos was crushed into a single point smaller than an atom, we admit, requires a huge leap of faith… the singularity didn’t like being crushed. Apparently, it resisted the crunch with a fierce explosion for no reason… We call that massive explosion the Big Bang… The hypothesis of instant expansion, cosmic inflation, defies all known laws of physics… ” – Pierre St. Clair, Author, see Endnote [i].
“Astrophysicists portray their cosmological ideas as scientific (supported by evidence) when they are mostly a cloud of probabilities and caveats. The media presents these explanations as factual science, and the unsuspecting public interprets them as ‘true accounts’” – Pierre St. Clair, Author
Chaitanya Charandas, author of Science and Spirituality makes the following observation:
“Stephen Hawking has stated, “Any theory that predicts a singularity can be said to have broken down.” So, if science necessitates postulating something beyond the realm of science, then an intelligent being is a much more logical candidate for creating the complex world we see around us than a singularity. Both are non-scientific, in the conventional sense of the word ‘scientific’, but we at least have experience of an intelligent being designing something, but we have no experience of a singularity and its explosion leading to design” – Chaitanya Charan das, author
I also note the words of John Horgan, who has written for Scientific American since 1986.
“…I derided inflation as “ironic science,” which can never be proven true or false and hence isn’t really science at all… physicists Anna Ijjas, Paul Steinhardt and Abraham Loeb presented a stinging critique of inflation in Scientific American… The authors assert that inflationary cosmology, as we currently understand it, cannot be evaluated using the scientific method… the expected outcome of inflation can easily change if we vary the initial conditions… these features make inflation so flexible that no experiment can ever disprove it… The persistence of these unfalsifiable and hence unscientific theories is an embarrassment that risks damaging science’s reputation… Isn’t it time to pull the plug?” – John Horgan, writer, see Endnote [ii].
There is also the dubious concept, or conjuring trick. of ‘dark matter’ upon which the theory rests. John Watson describes the problem with dark matter in an article Top Ten Scientific Flaws In The Big Bang Theory, see Endnote [iii], as follows.
“Dark Matter and Dark Energy have never been proven, or observed in any way whatsoever, yet the Big Bang theory depends on the existence of such potentially mythological substances… The “dark” in “dark matter” and “dark energy” doesn’t mean color. It means, “unknown”. In other words, the proponents of the Big Bang theory couldn’t figure out how it could possibly happen so they said, let’s make up some fictional matter and energy that “made it happen”. It’s kind of like me saying I am the most powerful person in the universe. My power is everywhere and can do everything! You just can’t see my power but it’s there!” – John Watson, writer.
Despite all the problems with the theory, Wikipedia makes the bold assertion that
“The Big Bang is a well-tested scientific theory which is widely accepted within the scientific community… abundant evidence has arisen to further validate the model.”
Pierre St. Clair notes that “from an outsider’s point of view the science creation myth sounds bizarre. But for insiders – cosmologists and physicists – this story is a normal as going to a party.” The reality is that pleading the case for the big bang theory is as much in the realm of faith as the traditional creation stories of ancient scriptures – nothing can be validated by ‘material science’ in either case. The rigorous discipline of scientific observation, experimentation and verification do not apply to the big bang theory – one simply has to accept it on ‘faith’. The big bang theory is, therefore, not science, it is religion without God – it seems to be ‘godless’ fake science.
Modern-day Science Excludes the Divine Consciousness of an Intelligent Designer — God
From this perspective, we can see that a fundamental difference between the science creation story and the stories of creation as told by ancient spiritual traditions is whether a cosmic divine consciousness was involved. Modern-day science excludes that divine consciousness.
Atheistic scientists will tell you that God is not accepted as a cause because God cannot be detected by our technology.
Hypocritically, modern astrophysicists tell us that the universe consists mostly of substances called ‘dark matter’ and ‘dark energy’, yet, I note, these substances cannot be detected by their instruments, so why have these unobservable, unknowable, and hypothetical substances been accepted ‘on faith’ by modern ‘science’?
According to St. Clair, the astrophysicists are using these concepts of dark matter and dark energy in an attempt to save the big bang theory. Yet, as they become more invested in the entanglements of the theory, it is likely they will become unable to extricate themselves from the conclusion they are trying to avoid, i.e., that the science story of creation will resemble the traditional spiritual story of creation – that something had to have been created for the universe to exist, which implies a creator. Note also that the scientific creation story also does not explain how the laws of science and the universe came into existence in the first place. Who originally wrote those laws? Did these laws suddenly appear with a big bang also?
The Christian Bible informs us that the Earth was created by God, and it appears that many Christians are skeptical of the theories of evolution and the big bang.
Yet, it also appears that, today, the Judeo-Christian universities are teaching these theories. The ancient spiritual texts of Vedic Vaishnavism inform us that universe was created by God. The following excerpts from the book Life comes from Life by HDG Srila Prabhupada, renowned spiritual leader in the tradition of Vedic Vaishnavism, highlight the problem with the atheistic creation story of a big bang; and of life originating from random chemical interactions rather than a divine source:
“Modern proponents of Darwinism say that the first living organism was created chemically… If life originated from chemicals, and if your science is so advanced, then why can’t you create life biochemically in your laboratories?… Their claim that they will soon prove a chemical origin is something like paying someone with a postdated check… They cannot even produce a single blade of grass in their laboratories, yet they are claiming, that life is produced from chemical. What is this nonsense?” – Quote from Life come from life’ by HDG Srila Prabhupada
“Dr. Singh: The scientists say that at one point the earth was composed of dust particles floating in some gaseous material. Then, in due course, this colloidal suspension condensed and formed the earth.
Srila Prabhupada: … where did the gas come from?
Dr Singh: They say it just existed!…
Srila Prabhupada: “They say, “This existed, and then all of a sudden, by chance, that occurred.” This not science. Science means to explain the original cause.”” – Extract from the book Life comes from Life by HDG Srila Prabhupada
The reality is that despite so-called advancements, modern-day scientists cannot even do what a cow does, i.e., change grass into milk. Scientists cannot produce grass from chemicals either. Yet they still tell us that they can produce life in a laboratory. Note that what is taking place with In vitro fertilization (IVF) is merely manipulation of the matter that God created.
Another, scientist disseminating godless science was Stephen Hawking. Hawking has written “Because there is a law like gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing…”. In the book Krishna, authors Gauranga Premananda dasa and Avadhuta Raya das, counter Hawking’s assertion as follows: “Hawking has said absolutely nothing that proves that “the universe can and will create itself from nothing”. To say that something comes out of nothing, that there is no material cause is simply a statement of faith and doesn’t meet the needs of science and philosophy.”
Furthermore, in contrast, to the science creation story, which tells us there is no meaning whatsoever to the creation of the universe, the traditional spiritual stories are infused with deep meanings and purport for human life; and the reasons why we are here. Could it be that by excluding the possibility that the Earth has a creator, telling us that the Earth and humans were created by random blind chance, that the Earth is just another unimportant part of a random universe, that there is no intelligent designer or God, the atheistic forces have tried to keep us unaware of our individual uniqueness and spiritual potency as children of God?
The Fine-tuning of the Universe Cannot be Explained Away as Mere Chance
So, modern atheistic science asserts that the universe was ‘created’ by blind random chance – if this is the case should not our universe be completely random, unpredictable and chaotic?
In reality, we see that the universe is precisely ordered and conditions are uncannily fine-tuned for life, not at all as if they were at random. Is it not foolishness to believe such precise structure was created by blind random chance?
The book Rethinking Darwin by Lief A. Jensen details multiple parameters about the universe that are so fine-tuned it shows that the universe would not exist if these parameters were even minutely different.
The astounding level of precision indicates to me that the universe is intelligently designed – it appears to be the arrangement of an incredible intelligence. The fine-tuning of the universe cannot be explained away as mere chance. As British astronomer Sir Fred Hoyle remarked:
“I do not believe that any scientist who examines the evidence would fail to draw the inference that the laws of physics have been deliberately designed with regard to the consequences they produce inside the stars.“ – Sir Fred Hoyle, British astronomer
To account for the creation of the universe by random chance, atheists’ resort to ludicrous postulates, such as the ‘infinite number of monkeys’ theory.
The theory has been detailed as followed: if an infinite number of monkeys that were shown how to type were allowed to type for billions of years, they would at some point type the complete works of Shakespeare by random chance. Renowned scientist and mathematician, Richard L Thompson, with a PhD from Cornell University, has stated that the ‘infinite number of monkeys’ theory defies probability theory and is mathematically impossible because randomness does not produce order on any appreciable scale, no matter how long you give it. Despite this mathematical impossibility, biological text books worldwide, refer to randomness as the cause for the existence of the complex universe we live in – thereby completely negating the design within it. The experiment referred to below indicates the reality that randomness as an explanation for the creation of the universe leads to nothing special and is just ‘monkey business’.
“In 2003, lecturers and students from the University of Plymouth MediaLab Arts course used a £2,000 grant from the Arts Council to study the literary output of real monkeys. They left a computer keyboard in the enclosure of six Celebes Crested Macaques in Paignton Zoo in Devon I England for month, with a radio link to broadcast the results on a website… Not only did the monkeys produce nothing but 5 pages consisting largely of the letter S, the lead male began by bashing the keyboard with a stone, and the monkeys continued by urinating and defecating on it.” – Chaitanya Charon Das, Author
State-funded “Atheistic Indoctrination”
Many millions, if not billions, of people believe that God, the Creator, exists, yet schools, universities and TV stations worldwide are teaching nonsensical atheistic theories, such as theory of evolution and the big bang theory as proven facts. If there was indeed a type of big bang from which the ordered universe originated, the atheistic scientists should at least acknowledge that there had to be an original cause, an intelligent designer.
Students worldwide are in essence being force fed dubious unproven atheistic doctrine as the only acceptable worldview. Presenting these theories as indisputable truths amounts to indoctrination plain and simple. Note that this is ‘government-funded’ indoctrination. The governments of the world are teaching our children that they have originated from monkeys. Do you really believe your most ancient grandparents were monkeys? If you think your ancestors were monkeys – will you tend to behave like a monkey or like a God-conscious human?
The Spiritual Origins of the Universe
Modern mechanistic science assumes that we can describe the world independently of the existence of God, and negates the concept of the individual soul. The direction of mechanistic science over the past two centuries has been to see how far this approach can take us – to what extent can we explain nature, the world, the universe and everything whilst completely ignoring any reference to God, the soul and spiritual origins of everything. In 1931 Austrian mathematician Kurt Gödel actually proved that humankind will never be able to describe the universe by a final mechanistic theory.
“the stream of knowledge is heading toward a non-mechanical reality; the Universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter… we ought rather hail it as the creator and governor of the realm of matter.” – Richard Conn Henry, Professor of Physics, John Hopkins University
“I maintain that the human mystery is incredibly demeaned by scientific reductionism, with its claim in promissory materialism to account eventually for all of the spiritual world in terms of patterns of neuronal activity. This belief must be classed as superstition… we have to recognize that we are spiritual beings with souls existing in a spiritual world as well as material beings with bodies and brains”- John Eccles, Nobel Laureate in Medicine and Physiology
To quote a lyric from the song Colonised Mind by the famous American musician Prince (1958 – 2016):
“Without God its just the blind leading the blind”.
In a book by Stephen Rosen, see Endnote [iv], there is a relevant story about the scientist Sir Isaac Newton. Newton had a mechanical model of the universe in his study. A friend of his who did not believe in God came to visit him and admiring the model asked: ‘Who made it?’. Newton answered: ‘Nobody!’ and assured his friend that it had just happened to assure the form it was in. His astonished friend replied ‘You must think I am a fool! Of course, somebody made it, and he is a genius, and I’d like to know who he is.’ Newton laid his hand on his hand on his friend’s shoulder. ‘This thing is but a puny imitation of a much grander system… I am not able to convince you that this mere toy is without a designer and maker; yet you profess to believe that the original form which the design is taken has come into being without either designer or maker! Now tell me by what sort of reasoning do you reach such an incongruous conclusion?”
One of the fundamental laws of the universe is cause and effect. If the big bang theory has any basis in reality, it is simply a pointer to a moment of creation where the cause exists outside of the matter, space and time of the universe. The universe displays a working complexity infinitely greater than a manmade watch or computer. The incredible arrangement of everything in the universe is based on the one truth of God’s spiritual existence in all things.
The original meaning of the English word ‘universe’ is actually “one truth”. Uni meaning ‘one’ and verse meaning “verified truth”. From this perspective we can see that our universities and science institutions have become muddled with multiple dubious truths/ideologies and are no longer uni-versities of the one truth. With the proliferation of mechanistic science, in particular, over the past 200 years, these centers of education have become de-harmonised from the one truth. We now need a synthesis of mechanistic science with spiritual science to realise and re-establish the one truth. That one truth is God – our father and the Creator of the universe.
