“... It is still unreasonable....”

Really?

You folks are making me a bit ashamed of my Christianity.

Please leave physics to those who actually understand math.

Please.

Two subjects I just can’t get my head around. God and physics.
Guess I’m just not very smart.

I agree. This is one of the things that made me abandon some forms of Protestantism. I don’t hear conservative Catholics or conservative Orthodox people add up the genealogies in Genesis turn the number of years they come up with into an odd test of faith. This business of trying to cram billions of years into a 6000 year-old universe to support someone’s idea of a literal reading of a few Bible verses, to make the Bible “scientific,” is what is unreasonable. And then young people are told they must read these verses literally and any discovery in science could be a dangerous thing that will undermine their faith - that is unreasonable. The Big Bang is not unreasonable at all. God is big enough for a big universe.

Not discounting your disagreement, but the author is a physicist. He full well understands the math. Should you wish to discuss his findings, his email addresses are:

With all due respect, you touting a theory that demands faith (the big bang) doesn’t put in any position to question another’s faith.

Don’t beat your head against the wall. You won’t get anywhere. I gave up years ago. Waste of time.
