I'm not talking about the scientific community. I'm talking about people in the world. Christianity for example has accepted the Big Bang Theory as plausible and has not accepted others. This fact alone will help 70% of the world make a theory more prevalent.
- russellsprouts 13y agoBefore the Big Bang theory, most Christian thinkers accepted the universe as eternal.

- doorhammer 13y agoThis is an anecdotal reposnse mostly based on having grown up in a strongly charismatic Christian background, but the folks I knew probably would have said that god existed forever and the universe started when he made it. Obviously that's going to depend on who you ask in the denomination and what denomination you ask. My experience is that you're not generally going to get a very nuanced view of space and time but occasionally you'll be a little surprised. Again. Anecdotal. Ymmv
- saraid216 13y agoGenesis 1:1 does not reflect the thought of any Christian thinkers.
- tedunangst 13y agoChristianity is a rather broad grouping that encompasses a hundred churches with different beliefs. I don't think you can make meaningful statements about what Christians believe, except that they believe in Christ (hence the name). There's no central planning committee that decides what to believe. For practical purposes, you may as well just use the word religion, as in "Religion for example has accepted the Big Bang Theory", which is more obviously too general.
