I mean geologically the earth cooled instantly
So it's possible god blew Matter into existence
Then instantly cooled it to form the world

See that's a thought I had too
Like, He could have used the Big Bang, and taken whatever billions of years even, hypothetically
But then the earth itself, He takes 7 days on

The teacher said that the bible said God created the world in 7 days while the Big Bang theory states that the universe took a lot of years to create.

Correct
however
2 Peter 3:8 says "But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day."

SO (this is just me speculating) it could hypothetically be possible that it could maybe possibly mean that day just means an amount of time, possibly 1,000,000,000 years cause it's all the same to God and He was the only one in existence at the time.
Or it really just was 7 days.

Oh okay. The bible said that the end of days is near, and looking at God's perspective of time, I guess we're gonna be here for a looooooooooooooooong time.

Eh, I wouldn't be so sure of that. But I haven't done enough research into that to give a definite answer.

Yes.
A massive explosion that sprays matter all over the universe and takes billions of years for that matter to slowly form into stars and eventually planets is totally incompatible with an all powerful God creating everything outta nothing.
The big bang "theory" was simply a placeholder for humanists that needed a God-free creation myth.

Buuuuuuut, hypothetically, isn't it at least possible that God COULD have used the Big Bang as His method of creation? The massive ball of energy and mass had to come from somewhere, so, hypothetically, what if He created it and then set the process into motion? Yes I'm well aware of the billions of years, BUT according to 2 Peter 3:8 "But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day."
So, hypothetically (my younger self would kill me for this) since God was the only one there, this has to be from His perspective, couldn't a day mean thousands, or even billions of years in this context?

Possible?
Yes.
But it requires interesting reasoning to get there from here.
●Only evidence for a big bang: we need a creation myth that doesn't need a Creator, since humanists worship themselves.
●Only reason to believe the big bang is biblical: God is timeless and all powerful. So anything's possible.
Why does God need 5 billion years to get from nothing to the garden of eden? Why is the innocence and perfection of the garden built on 5 billion years of random random galactic death and confusion?

See? That's all I'm saying
Well I do a lot of interesting reasoning

True, but if I'm right, even that attempt couldn't disprove God's existence, and you can still 100% believe the Bible even if somehow the Big Bang were able to be definitively proved
YUP
Ok in all fairness, the new heaven and new earth will, in a sense, be built on massive galactic death after the universe is destroyed in fire. And it wouldn't be random if God's directing it I don't think.

No, best he could explain it back then was creationism. Notice how humans were made last?
0 ups, 3y
Who's "he" ?

Humans were essentially made last with the Big Bang too and the theory of evolution too (I don't subscribe to evolution). What creatures have evolved past us?

Meh, I’m atheist, so religion to me is about as accurate as…….. I forgot, I didn’t write a note down. Hang on, did Joe remember to read his notes as well?

Either ways, according to my RE teachers, yes, they are compatible.
