"This cycle happens an infinite number of times, thus eliminating any start or end of time," Frampton said. "There is no Big Bang."
OK. But, the beginning of his "cycle" is "expansion". Expansion of what and how did IT begin?
I think someone is projecting various facts about themselves on to others....
"Still denying God"
Maybe this oscillating mechanism is God's creation. Are we supposed to stop thinking and discovering because someone says "God"?
What happened to the Holy Ghost and what about Jesus bringing light to man?
Cyclic "accordion" models are hardly new.
My thoughts exactly! I personally accept that GOD created the heavens and the universe. But there is nothing wrong with trying to figure out how it works.
"Cyclic "accordion" models are hardly new."
Very true. There is really nothing new here. They just replaced a single event with multiple events.
agreed.
Me: You would think, by now, that the "big bang" people would be mortally embarrassed at their continued display of ignorance. No. Their proud of it and wear it as a badge.
You: I think someone is projecting various facts about themselves on to others....
No, name calling just proves my point. Can't address the subject of the thread so you resort to mindless name calling. That's what amuses me about "big bang" people, oh no, animals, that's it ... since according to "big bang" people we evolved from animals. LOL!
I find you people hilarious!
They were all there.
In Genesis, it is in the plural.
Over, on the flat side of earth, in INDIA, IIRC,they have a belief system of 'recuring'creation......
That's what I wanted to say. This is another theory about the way things are, not a denial of God.
LOL, all he did was reflect your accusation back at you.
India is, I think, around 70-80% Hindu, a religion which teaches reincarnation and multiple sequential universes. So, you are correct.
There was no Bang, there will be no Crunch. Black holes, energy, and matter go through an infinite loop of transitions. New, becoming old, being recycled, becoming new again.
What they are seeing as "inflation" is just relative "movement". The edges of space are where billions of light years worth of interference patterns prevent a cogent picture of what's there. The "candle in the fog" phenomena. And yes, I've heard of theories attempting to explain their way around that one.
Sounds a lot like who Democrats think higher taxes are a good idea.
As for God... dunno. Call him up and ask him.
It is not my place to judge, but I wonder about how firm someone's faith is if every question is seen as a threat. We see a lot of pseudo science on the left, complete with calls to ban scientific inquiry when it isn't politically correct (such as questioning global warming). Some on the right want to constrain science to fit within a narrow religious-oriented cosmology. Both are wrong although the leftists can ban science they don't agree with and the MSM thinks limiting free inquiry that way is just wonderful.
Anyone afraid to use the word "theory"?
