Origins of the universe

    Cards (5)

    • Fundamentalist/literalists

      Reject scientific explanations because they take a literal reading of Genesis (it is literally true as the absolute, infallible word of God)
    • Liberals / Modernists

      Accept scientific theories (there is no conflict) between religion and science. Creation story is important but not to be taken literally. Big Bang - How. Religion - Why
    • Some Muslims may view the Big Bang

      As contradicting the Islamic creation story as it appears to suggest the universe could have come into existence without a loving God who planned it
    • Most Muslims

      Believe science is compatible with their beliefs because the Big Bang theory helps "fill in the gaps" for what is not explained in the Quran - Science helps gain a better understanding of creation
    • Allah is the creator of all things
