Guru Sahib states how the world began, as described in Sri Asa Ki Vaar pauri 1, ਆਪੀਨ੍ਰੈ ਆਪੁ ਸਾਜਿਓ ਆਪੀਨ੍ਰੈ ਰਚਿਓ ਨਾਉ ॥
ਦੁਯੀ ਕੁਦਰਤਿ ਸਾਜੀਐ ਕਰਿ ਆਸਣੁ ਡਿਠੋ ਚਾਉ ॥
ਦਾਤਾ ਕਰਤਾ ਆਪਿ ਤੂੰ ਤੁਸਿ ਦੇਵਹਿ ਕਰਹਿ ਪਸਾਉ ॥
ਤੂੰ ਜਾਣੋਈ ਸਭਸੈ ਦੇ ਲੈਸਹਿ ਜਿੰਦੁ ਕਵਾਉ ॥
ਕਰਿ ਆਸਣੁ ਡਿਠੋ ਚਾਉ ॥1॥
Not to go in detail of the Shabad, but basically Akal Purkh created a Nirgun form of himself, and then Naam Shakti. After this the creation as we know it was created and Akal Purkh sits on his throne watching the play of this world. I believe this to be literal.
Now, why this cannot be describing the Big Bang, and an evolution that took billions of years from some form of primordial being is understood by the concept of the 4 Jugs. It is clearly stated in Bani that human beings have been alive since Satyug. This would mean that for at least some millions of years ago, people like Jamgdani (father of Parshuraam), Rikhi Visthit Ji, and other people mentioned in Gurbani would have existed millions of years ago. Also we have the Sakhi of Rikhi Santokh Ji, who was sitting in meditation from Satjug, waiting for the Avtaar of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji to give him Mukti. How would fit into the scientific theory of Evolution, where human beings apparently came into existence 200-600 thousand years ago? Are these people made up? Was this Sakhi of Rikhi Santokh Ji just a "metaphor," whose name will go down in history forever in the form of the Sarovar that Guru Sahib Ji created in His name? Was this all just fabricated or a "metaphor?"
How about in Sri Chandi DI Vaar, where Veer Ji above has quoted. The first Pauri are as follows :
ਖੰਡਾ ਪ੍ਰਿਥਮੈ ਸਾਜ ਕੈ ਜਿਨ ਸਭ ਸੈਸਾਰੁ ਉਪਾਇਆ ॥
ਬ੍ਰਹਮਾ ਬਿਸਨੁ ਮਹੇਸ ਸਾਜਿ ਕੁਦਰਤਿ ਦਾ ਖੇਲੁ ਰਚਾਇ ਬਣਾਇਆ ॥
ਸਿੰਧੁ ਪਰਬਤ ਮੇਦਨੀ ਬਿਨੁ ਥੰਮ੍ਹਾ ਗਗਨਿ ਰਹਾਇਆ ॥
ਸਿਰਜੇ ਦਾਨੋ ਦੇਵਤੇ ਤਿਨ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਬਾਦੁ ਰਚਾਇਆ ॥
ਤੈ ਹੀ ਦੁਰਗਾ ਸਾਜਿ ਕੈ ਦੈਤਾ ਦਾ ਨਾਸੁ ਕਰਾਇਆ ॥
ਤੈਥੋਂ ਹੀ ਬਲੁ ਰਾਮ ਲੈ ਨਾਲ ਬਾਣਾ ਦਹਸਿਰੁ ਘਾਇਆ ॥
ਤੈਥੋਂ ਹੀ ਬਲੁ ਕ੍ਰਿਸਨ ਲੈ ਕੰਸੁ ਕੇਸੀ ਪਕੜਿ ਗਿਰਾਇਆ ॥
ਬਡੇ ਬਡੇ ਮੁਨਿ ਦੇਵਤੇ ਕਈ ਜੁਗ ਤਿਨੀ ਤਨੁ ਤਾਇਆ ॥
ਕਿਨੀ ਤੇਰਾ ਅੰਤੁ ਨ ਪਾਇਆ ॥2॥
Guru Sahib Ji clearly states that from this known world creation, the 3 Devtay were created (Shiv, Brahma, Vishnu) Is this too just a metaphor? Was Durga not an actual being but just a story Guru Sahib Ji copied from Hindu texts as missionaries state. Is this too all just a metaphor?
How can we deny Gurmat Philosophy, history, and Gurbani. If this group of atheist scientists, who only believe in this temporal world had any solid proof of these "theories" Guru Sahib would have mentioned them in Gurbani or they would be mentioned somewhere in history. This is in response to just the big bang, I can go further in detail about other scientific lies that contradict Gurbani in another post. So, please answer some of these or all of these questions
Were the people mentioned in Gurbani living from previous Jugs just metaphorical?
Was the Sakhi of Rikhi Santokh Ji made up?
is Chandi Di Vaar just a metaphor (are the 3 Devtay just made up? did Durga not exist?)
Why hasen't Guru Sahib Ji ever mentioned anything remotely related to the idea of evolution?
and Bonus, why have Scientists changed their theory on the Big Bang every 10 or so years, from stating we existed millions of years ago in the early 1900s to now coming to the theory we lived over 13 billion years ago. How can we gurantee this estimate will not change in the future?
