I just wanted to answer Cheez's question, so don't hold me responsible for what I wrote. The question was: why does Big Bang support that time did not exist before the "bang" - so I've written the explanation given by Hawkin - so do with it as you please.
no, that theory made many creationists very happy, as it did support the idea that the universe has a beginning. At one point there is nothing, and at the beginning of time there is "something".Not really... It says rather... "We don't know."
While it doesn't directly contradict some of the premises of many religions, neither does it support them.
