WOW...another one that won't even come close to the truth.
~
From the total lack of substance in a totally void of nothingness was contained a miniscule amount of everything that ever existed in the Cosmos.
I will take back some of that, there couldn't have been a Cosmos before that time, it didn't exist, just like time, and gravity, and space.
A little old priest, named Georges Lemaître, had a silly dream one night about Moses' writings about Adam and Eve and the creation and thought up the idea of the big bang.
Everything from nothing caused by this entity called the creator, or God if you will, fitting it all in the book of the Old Testament, BANG!!
Ah yes....genisis...what a book...and following that...Paul...and on and on...

The short of it, it never happened, there wasn't any "void", there wasn't any microscopic infinite "gravity", there wasn't any "singularity",
there wasn't any "container" to encapsulate the plasma, and so on and so on.

This is some more of the crap that is spread around in the world to make the theists happy with the fact that they are going to die sometime.
Good luck with that belief, you will be just a memory some time, just like everyone else will, if you live a good life and do well to others.
Other than that, you will turn to dust and vapors like the rest of us, there isn't any cognizance after death.

Wow......that was a terrible rant wasn't it....sorry about that....where's my meds !

I picked other. I don't view it as a belief, but as a willingness to accept something that is apparently true, given the available evidence.

Fatalist. Christian. Pacifist.
Scientists seem so sure.. Seems like they want to call it a fact; I hope they're not overreaching. So far, I believe in the singularity, and in the expansion of the universe. But, still hearing new terms like, "Big Crunch", "Big Bounce", etc.

A quick check at Wikipedia shows that Lemaitre
- was a professor of astronomy
- derived Hubble's law
- estimated Hubble's constant
- was a pioneer computer programmer
- was one of the inventors of the Fast Fourier transform algorithm
- was a major contributer to the study of elliptic space

And what are your qualifications, to enable you to evaluate his work?

Well something happened, and it wasn't God. The Big Bang is the best explanation we have thus far and it is backed by science.

All astrophysics is based on the speed of light being a constant and space-time theory and I am not convinced of either yet.

I picked yes even though specifics are up in the air and I don't treat it as beginning of reality, existence, etc. as some do....more of a shaper and changer than a creator or initializer

Pwned!!!!! :D

Can you either cite or PM some information against the speed of light being constant and against space-time theory? I'd be interested in seeing both.

I hate that show. I don't get the appeal.

What???? Best show ever!!!

And I think the Big bang happened, and would consider it the beginning of the universe as we know it, but I don't necessarily believe it was the "first thing".

About the reverend father Georges, educated in a theistically oriented environment in the 20's and 30's, went to war in the 30's, dabbled in sophormic cosmology, never looked through a really complex telescope, and on and on. His coralaries and hypothesis on the evolution of cosmotic motions are quite unremarkable in veiwing from an isopatic direction, considering that the cosmos, as we now know, it to be totally random.
Looking at his discoveries:
(1) He entertains the assumption of a singular "singularity", I love saying that, that exists in a......
(2) "void", a nothingness without direction, motion, substance, or value.
(3) What contained the "singularity" for all those....I want to say years, but that would mean "time", and there wasn't any time then. What was the container made from, what was the "gravity" that held it together and how "hot" was it ? From what was this "plasma" made ?
(4) He says that the "singularity" suddenly inflated into the universe (void) that we live in, about 13 to 20 billions of years ago.
(5) Where is the supposed "center" of the inflation point, and is it still going on, it's said that the inflation is still occurring.
~
If this "singularity" inflated from a central point, why do galaxies collide ?
Why aren't all the galaxies, energies, matter, and other substances going out from the source of the "center" of inflation ?
What changes the direction of galaxies to escape the center of the inflation ?
Was the "singularity" spherical, or was it focused when it inflated, does anyone really know ?
If the universe is random, as it seems to be, how far out into the "void" does it go, what direction are galaxies coming at us now ?
~
I could continue but no one is really reading this crap anyway.
There wasn't ever a big bang, the Cosmos is totally random, stars are created and galaxies collide, and we all live awhile.
Good deal if you can get it.

**** I should have said "other". It's not belief, it's acceptance of objective truth.

The universe is expanding, fact.

Roll bad the clock and we end up coming from a singularity, of which our universe is full of.


Not knowing a cause, does not mean something did not happen. We don't understand gravity, but the apple factually falls. Do we keep making ancient mens mistakes of attributing what we don't know or understand to mythology? or do we just say, we don't know, and look for an answer.

It's the best option we've got; and they forget that The Big Bang wasn't actually a bang, according to scientific theory
