But isn’t this an argument for divine creation?

Genesis is a bit more literary:

In less time than it takes to snap your fingers, the universe flashed into existence.

Cosmogenesis is the breathtaking story of how this happened. It includes, in its later moments, the creation of the primordial elements and depicts their organization by dark matter and gravity into vast cosmic structures on the largest scales. Meanwhile, on smaller scales, local gravitational collapse created stars and, later, planets.

The prelude to this story began with a major cosmological event: inflation. Between 10-36 and 10-34 seconds after the Big Bang, the physical scale of our universe doubled in size more than 50 times, so that by today, it is trillions of times larger than the 14 billion-light-year extent we can observe.

Inflation’s effects shaped the cosmos we see today: geometrically flat, homogeneous, and with the right mix of matter and energy. But what happened before inflation? The answer takes us deep into the nature of reality itself, and face to face with a time called the Planck era.

Video confirms ID is Science+. Science is the underpinning of ID. Logic does the rest. Those against ID are also actually anti science or anti logic or both. Take your pick!               How Ironic!jerry

It's always good when you get the right mix of matter and energy. Inflation really did a nice job with that.Silver Asiatic

How do you get the initial matter without God? If it was Big Bang, what caused the bang without God?BobRyan
