God said, "Let there be light!" and there was light.
Seems simple enough. Doesn't specify a mechanism, just a statement of obvious fact.

Easy,, The scientific theory does not explain creation..
The scientific theory is only about ""Adaptation""" The theory that animals change as the environment changes to adapt to better deal with that change or Adapt to better exploit the existing environment..
Scientists have never been able to show how even a single celled life form came into existence.. They have never been able to take sterile matter and subject it to different heats and pressures and radio wavelengths or radiation and demonstrate new life being created from sterile matter..
But they have been able to brainwash people who do not question scientists, who do not try and think for themselves into actually asking How did life first come into existence from sterile matter..

@Adstar Scientific Theories are never proven, and scientists never try to prove a Theory.
Perhaps this will help...
Science starts with observation. We look at the world, and we notice things. Many of these things seem to be related, and so we try to come up with an explanation as to how they’re related. This explanation is called a Theory… we can think of these as ‘Big T’ Theories, because they are based on demonstrable evidence and they have wide explanatory power. Scientists then test the Theory in order to prove that it is wrong. This is an important point, and it seems to constantly confuse non-scientists. Science doesn’t try to prove that a Theory is correct. Science tries to prove that the Theory is wrong, and the Theory is accepted only so long as we are unable to show that it is wrong.
Contrast this with our everyday ‘theories’ (my neighbour is probably cheating on her taxes… my friend is having an affair), which are simply vague hunches or convenient fictions - we can think of those as small-t theories. Usually we go looking for evidence to support these ‘theories’, and it is common for us to ignore evidence that contradicts them. It seems to me that it's these vague hunches or convenient fictions that people have in mind when they say that evolution is ‘just a theory’.

@Adstar All cleared up for you now? What you refer to as fact is the demonstrable evidence that is completely, consistently, and coherently, explained by the Theory.
This confuses religion because religions offer no evidence

What is the scientific theory of "creation"
IsawDDevil · 36-40, M
@CurrentName the big bang happen and universe started expanding.
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@IsawDDevil Where's 'creation' in that, and why do you call it a scientific theory?
are you aware of what a scientific theory is?
It's not a guess or a convenient fiction.

Easily.
My first degree was in Theoretical Physics, including a lot of Quantum Theory and General Relativity I’m used to thinking in different paradigms.

What do you mean, please, "scientific theory of creation"? There is no such thing.
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@IsawDDevil The genesis fable came from a few Middle Eastern goat herders who didn't know where the Sun went at night, so they had no concept of the universe and in any event thought that everything had to have some sort of 'creator' or 'designer'.

@newjaninev2 Isn't it all-too-human to see oneself as the focal point of the universe?
In a sense, the standard model of the universe is a big disappointment, because the universe is huge and we are totally irrelevant.

@helenS exactly! The news is all bad for human vanity and self-adoration.
Our planet, our Solar System and our galaxy are beyond insignificant.

Because science says creation happened randomly by chance but everything about our world shows intelligent design and order.

Not in the least.
Science currently offers no accepted theories on the origin of the universe.
However, universal inflation 13.8 billion years ago is well established, as are the suubsequent effects of spacete and gravity.
Nothing random about any of it.

@PatientlyWaiting25 I skipped through that video and now I'm confused - are you talking about the origin of the universe or abiogenesis or evolution?
They're three different topics.
