Abstract

Big Bang theory is a theory in cosmology from which scientistic deists have inferred theistic conclusions. The author examines the above-mentioned theory and the rival theories and tries to explicate the influence of this theory on the theological arguments. Presupposing that one should avoid drawing theological conclusions from the scientific theories, the author holds that the flash-like progresses in the two sciences of physics and cosmology in the 20th century have enforced the spiritual attitude to the world, so that this century has been a successful period in respect of connection between the religious propositions and the scientific ones.
