He also talks further about the many theories that have been proposed to counter the Big Bang Theory due to it concluding there is a beginning or origin of creation.  These additional theories have been broken down to still revert to a beginning.  This in essence tries to proves a divine power or creator which frustrates the many scientists that are trying to prove that God does not exist including well known physicist Steven Hawking. {{Verify source}} The current evidence points overwhelmingly towards this theory being correct, though the means this took place are still unknown. {{POV-statement}}

Christian physicists, such as Dr. John Hartnett,<ref>http://creation.com/starlight-and-time-a-further-breakthrough</ref> have noted that the Big Bang theory was constructed to account for serious pitfalls to the [[theory of evolution]], particularly the needed timescale of billions of years, amply contradicted by terrestrial and astronomical evidence.  Thus the big bang is trotted out by [[atheist]] evolutionists to silence [[creationist]] opponents, even though the theory is based on enormous amounts of guesswork, speculation, and pure assumptions. {{POV-statement}}

It should be noted though that if the Big Bang happened then due to relativistic time dilation, it would not matter if the universe was created in 13.7 billion years old or 6 days as depending on ones reference frame it could have been created in both 13.7 billion years and 6 days due to time warpage.  Dr. Gerald Schroeder, an Israeli astrophysicist has put forwards models to this effect. In them he demonstrates that if the age of the universe according to evolutionists is divided by the big bang expansion factor that the resulting time is almost exactly 6 days.  <ref> http://www.holycrossmonastery.org/articles/science/universe.htm </ref> Intriguingly he also calculates that due to the rate at which the expansion was said to have slowed according to the big bang theory each significant eras according to the time scale of evolutionists correspond to six individual twenty-four hour days corresponding to the days of creation. Despite these numbers appearing in an astonishingly coincidental fashion from known figures put forward by secular science, atheistic scientists do not comment on the coincidence. {{Citation needed}} {{POV-statement}} {{Lopsided}}
