Evolutionary Explanations for the Creation of the Universe – Naturalism or Supernaturalism?

There are no naturalistic explanations for the creation of the universe. (The appearance of 100 billion galaxies minimally estimated to equal a trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion tons of matter and the major laws of physics that sustain and govern the universe’s energy and matter.)

Evolutionists continue to offer all sorts of fanciful supernatural explanations for the creation and the expansion of the universe and, only because they leave out the word “God,” they are given the erroneous status as being ‘naturalistic’:

• “A new theory of the universe suggests that space and time may not have begun in a big bang, but may have always existed in an endless cycle of expansion and rebirth.”
  http://www.princeton.edu/pr/pwb/02/0506/0506-cyclicuniverse.htm
  
• “The big bang theory states that at some time in the distant past there was nothing. A process known as vacuum fluctuation created what astrophysicists call a singularity. From that singularity, which was about the size of a dime, our Universe was born.”
  http://cosmology.berkeley.edu/Education/IUP/Big_Bang_Primer.html
  
• “The Earth initially formed from the same disk of dust and gas from which the sun itself coalesced. As the mass of the Earth increased, so did the gravitational force it exerted, and it was bombarded by objects from space ranging in size from dust particles to small planets (planetismals). The accretion of this material increased the size of Earth. The impacts of large bodies and the decay of radioactive elements generated heat that melted the materials of the young Earth, creating the “hellish” conditions for which the Hadean Eon was named.”

• “Origin and evolution of the Earth system: The solar system formed from a nebular cloud of dust and gas approximately 4.6 billion years ago. The Earth has evolved through interactions of the solid Earth, oceans, atmosphere, and changing life. Geologic time can be estimated by correlating rock sequences, fossils, and radioactive isotope decay.”

At least NASA offers a voice of truth:

“It is beyond the realm of the Big Bang Model to say what gave rise to the Big Bang. There are a number of speculative theories about this topic, but none of them make realistically testable predictions as of yet.”

REVIEW HOW EACH EVOLUTIONARY EXPLANATION FOR UNIVERSE FORMING HOLDS UP WHEN USING THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD OF TESTING A HYPOTHESIS:

1. Make observations.
   
2. Form a testable, unifying hypothesis to explain these observations.
   “By 'testable,' we mean the predictions must include examples of what is likely be observed if the hypothesis is true and of what is unlikely to be observed if the hypothesis is true. A hypothesis that can explain all possible data equally well is not testable, nor is it scientific. A good scientific hypothesis must rule out some conceivable possibilities, at least in principle.”
   http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/comdesc/sciproof.html
   
3. Deduce predictions from the hypothesis.
   
4. Search for confirmations of the predictions; if the predictions are contradicted by empirical observation, go back to step (2).
   (From: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/comdesc/sciproof.html)
   

Results:
Using the standards established by the Scientific Method listed above, each evolutionary explanation for the universe forming has:

1. NO observations of occurrence;
   
2. NO defining hypotheses that allow for testing;
   
3. NO exclusive predictions that allow for deductions;
   
4. No confirmations because there are NO exclusive predictions.

REVIEW WHAT IS CONSIDERED AS NATURALISTIC BY EVOLUTIONARY STANDARDS:

“In science, explanations must be based on naturally occurring phenomena. Natural causes are, in principle, reproducible and therefore can be checked independently by others.”
“Science, Evolution, and Creationism,” 2008, National Academy of Sciences (NAS), The National Academies Press, third edition, page 10.
http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=11876

Using the standards above:

• Are there any evolutionary explanations for the creation of the universe that are a “naturally occurring phenomena” within know scientific information, laws, and principles?
  
• Can any be “reproducible and therefore can be checked independently by others”?
  

Results:
Since the answer is “no,” all existing evolutionary explanations for the creation of the universe MUST be given the correct status of being supernatural, i.e. something attributed to a power that seems to violate or go beyond natural forces.
