Tulane Professor Sets Out To Mathematically Prove God's Existence

A college professor and former atheist has reportedly announced that he is trying to prove God is behind earth's Big Bang Theory.

Tulane physics professor Frank Tipler has reportedly made it his mission to find a connection between the scientific beginnings of the world and God's creation.

"There is a God out there that created everything that is," the professor of the New Orleans-area college told WWL-TV recently.

The professor went on to say that he believes God is the Big Bang Theory, adding that after many years of research, "I realized that the laws of physics gave me no choice but to be a Christian." Tipler added that although people have described him as crazy or wrong, he still believes that when scientists are talking about the Big Bang Theory, they are really talking about God.

Tipler's dedication to scientifically proving God's existence comes after Pope Francis said in late October that evolution and the Big Bang Theory are real and are in line with the existence of God, going against the argument employed by many scientists that say the scientific theories are mutually exclusive to the existence of God.

"The beginning of the world is not the work of chaos that owes its origin to something else, but it derives directly from a supreme principle that creates out of love," Pope Francis said in late October. "The Big Bang, that today is considered to be the origin of the world, does not contradict the creative intervention of God; on the contrary, it requires it. Evolution in nature is not in contrast with the notion of [divine] creation because evolution requires the creation of the beings that evolve."
