Perhaps one of the most major controversial and talked about topics in the science vs religion category is how the Earth was created and the Big Bang Theory. Many people argue the points on how the planet was made, both scientifically and religiously. Scientists believe that a particle of dust just randomly combusted in space and poof! Earth was created. Now, the Big Bang Theory is much more complex than that, but that is the simple, generic version of it. Religious people believe in the story that was in the Bible in that God created the Earth and then created man. However, the only problem is: where is the proof to prove either theory?
Me personally, I believe in the biblical version, but that is because I am following my faith. If there was any proof whatsoever on either side of the story regarding how the Earth came to be, and scientists or religious people could prove it, then I would believe them in a heartbeat. But, because there is not any proof for either idea, no one really knows who or what to believe. Because all we need is proof, and then people will believe whichever they want. They still do, but I think that either theory is possible, they just need to be proven first.
That is one problem and probably the cause of most of the arguments. Both sides think they are correct, but have nothing to prove it. Scientists retaliate with saying religious people do not have any proof but the stories in the Bible. However, in my personal opinion, it is the scientists who do not have as much proof as we do, besides a giant Earth. Therefore, it is going to be one long continuous argument until someone is able to prove how the Earth was created. Scientists and religious people will continue to argue until one is proven wrong. Until then, I guess just believe what you want, and hope that some day this great mystery is solved. Although, it probably won't be for quite some time, probably not in my lifetime.
