Another ‘settled science’ topic is not so settled after all – Big Bang theory questioned

This is like pulling down your pants. It makes you feel good, but what might others think?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

That’s exactly what happens when people debate the Big bang theory of cosmology, which is my point. Glad you got it!

(People end up understanding little but feel good, all cuddly and cushy, that somehow they are secure in knowing that the cosmos has an order they understand, which is patently false.)

Its better to just get used to the groundlessness of admitted ignorance. Then we might learn something eventually.

So you’re saying that Hubble was a clown? a joker? to be brushed aside ?

That’s what I’m hearing.

[mdmathis6]

What do you mean?

[Candor7]

Not altogether. But my humble opinion is that his vision was perhaps too narrow, but hey, what the heck do I know? Nothing.

[dr_lew]

Well then, pull up your pants.

I have for many years asked if the universe might be in a state of eternal oscillation.

[Candor7]

Well, pull up your own.LOL.

That’s the problem really in terms of observer/observed.

You can’t pull up your own because they are not altogether yours.

Humanity has yet to overcome that. When it does, it likely will have a huge impact on cosmology.

“The Big Bang singularity is the most serious problem of general relativity because the laws of physics appear to break down there,” Ahmed Farag Ali at Benha University and the Zewail City of Science and Technology, both in Egypt, told Phys.org."

Maybe.

Or maybe, that's where the "laws of physics" begin.

And I always thought it was turtles all the way down...

This Guide is intended for anyone who wonders how our Universe really works, and who might be interested in an intriguing and somewhat different point of view. Readers may be surprised to discover that many well-trained skeptics do not support popular ideas in astronomy and the space sciences...

[N. Theknow]

If there was a Big Bang, it was God snapping His fingers.

[fortheDeclaration]

In other words, something cannot come from nothing.
Only a ‘scientist’ could think otherwise.

[RoadGumby]

So, God has to perform creation on Your timeline for it to be correct. Gotcha.

[RoadGumby]

Apply that staement and reasonibg to The aTheory of Evolution.

Thanks Ernest. You wouldn't believe what I found when I did a web search on "big bang".

[Pecos]

And the scriptures don’t say HOW He did it. At this point in our own personal lives, it doesn’t really matter. And we probably wouldn’t understand the math He used either.

[I want the USA back]

The “big bang” is not an adequate explanation for the origin of the Universe.

[trebb]

I guess they will need the original recording of God’s voice as He spoke it all into existence before they will know for sure....we are bound by time, which He created, and we cannot escape it until He welcomes us into His Realm of Eternity.

Metaphysics by physicists again.
