Himenda:
Specifically the Big Bang theory
of the origin of our universe is a scientific theory and not a religious
theory. However, I am calling it a Hindu-Christian theory simply becuse the
theory of Big Bang conforms to the views of religions like Christianity,
Hindusim and all other theistic religions that believe in God.
The very basic of a belief in one
God is that it is God who created this universe 'once upon a time'. Although
actual creation theories may be different in different religions, but the
sense is the same that our universe has a beginning and this beginning was
done by God 'once upon a time'.
Scientists, mostly God fearing
Christians, are also trying to prove scientifically that our universe
has an origin and this origin was the time when 'big bang' occurred some
billions of years ago.
Buddhism does not support this
view.
According to Buddhism, briefly
speaking, there is no God who started this universe, and the universe does not
have a beginning.
A minority scientists support
this Buddhist view that our universe does not have a beginning.

Why are are you calling "Big-Bang" a
"Hindu-Christian" Theory ?
With the best wishes,
Himendra

Umesh:
I never said Buddhist does
not believe in rebirth. The theory of "Karma" and "rebirth" are parts of
Buddhist philosophy. But these philosophies are somewhat different
from Hindu counterparts because basically Buddhists donot believe in the
(Hindu-Christian) "soul" theory, and the "God" theory. Both these
concepts are illogical according to Buddhist philosophy. That makes the
difference. Buddhist philosophy conform to modern science of "Quantum
Physics", "Conservation of Energy" etc. The "God" theory does not.
Buddhist philosophy does not believe in the Hindu-Christian "Big Bang" theory
that God started this Universe by pressing a switch.

For Rajen-da,
Buddhists also believe in rebirth and have a concept of
Boddhisattvas. I saw in East Asian art musems many sculptures of
previosu Boddhisattvas --of Buddha. Dalai Lama is also a rebirth of the
previous Dalai Lama.
