Big Bang

Many conclusions that are drawn in science are modified later, when someone discovers something new. Having said that, science has given us a pretty good idea of the ways many things work in the Universe.

Assuming science has the Big Bang Theory correct, or pretty correct, why would that necessarily rule out the possibility of a "Big Man"? While it is certainly true that it would rule out the belief that there is a giant guy with a white beard, sitting just over the clouds and looking down at Earth with super-power eyes, why would it be impossible that out beyond the Universe (or even existing invisibly and silently within it) a Creator exists? Any Big Bang would have been an event that occurred in the physical universe.

Why - when people who believe that God created the "world" - can't they imagine that "world" could mean everything in the Universe and beyond, and not just Planet Earth? Why would it be such a horrible thing if The Bible were symbolic? Alternatively, wouldn't it be possible that The Bible could have it roots in events that occurred in another dimension, long before Earth ever had life on it? Isn't it possible that "messages" about God could have been given as a part of human life? Isn't it possible those "messages" were sent to humans in terms they would understand? Isn't it possible humans, on the other hand, assigned human terms/stories to ideas that needed imagery in order to be understood? Isn't it possible that a Creator would not have selected any particular individual humans as "special, message-getters"? Isn't it possible each and every human is born with the potential of seeing any messages there are to be seen? Isn't it possible that all life (with man's being the first to reach that stage of intellectual development)is simply born with a drive to understand how it all began and where its all going? Isn't it possible Adam and Eve were each really a force (male and female), rather than actual human beings? Isn't it possible that Adam and Eve are really intended to represent all men and women ever in existence and that the Garden of Eden really represents Earth. Suppose the Garden of Eden story isn't about something that already happened, but is, instead, about something that was predicted? In other words, suppose God decided there would be men and women on a beautiful planet, and that planet and life would be that Garden of Eden as long as those men and women didn't succumb to certain temptations?

Suppose between time and matter a Creator
