The Big-Bang Story

Debate Information


(I put this in "science" since it is falsely labeled, and even talked about as science. The proper place for this O.P. would be in: "Religions and the Fantastic Stories behind them")

For the O.P.
Prove that the so called "Cosmological Big-Bang Story" is actually a theory?

Here is the "story":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang

The claim: The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological model for the universe from the earliest known periods through its subsequent large-scale evolution.

My friend Erfisflat showed me this:
https://cor.gsfc.nasa.gov/

  • We wish to understand when the first stars in the universe formed, and how they influenced the environments around them.
  • How did dark matter—which is pervasive, mysterious, and not at all understood—clump up in these very early times, pulling gas along with it into dense concentrations that eventually became galaxies?
  • How did galaxies evolve from the very first systems to the types we observe "in the here and now," such as the Milky Way in which we live?
  • Supermassive black holes are apparently pervasive in the universe, and we wish to understand when in the early universe they first formed and how they have affected the lives of galaxies in which they reside.

The story goes; that our second heaven(*1) where God put all the stars in is actually a cold, expanding vacuum of infinite size which they call the Universe, where we humans, including all the animals, plants and this whole Flat Earth which they call a globe/sphere is spinning and twirling through on a cosmic fabric.

Here is what they say how this "globe-earth" idea started:

- The earliest reliably documented mention of the spherical Earth concept dates from around the 6th century BC when it appeared in ancient Greek philosophy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_Earth


(*1) - first heaven for us who do observation (science) is where the birds fly, the air, and the second heaven is where we see all the stars of heaven.

    Let me break it down:

    1. No one was around for the big bang, so we couldn't have observed it directly or indirectly...defeating the application of the Scientific Method for studying this alleged phenomenon for the requirement of observation.

    2. We don't know exactly when the big bang occurred, it cannot be pin pointed, so we can't replicate the controls for an experiment to test a hypothesis regarding the big bang.

    3. While I'm sure scientists agree that multiple events occurred during the big bang, since no one observed it, we have no idea exactly what these events were or what order they occurred in...defeating any chance of replicating it in any way.

    "So essentially, we're pretty sure some stuff happened, no idea where the cause originated from but that's not important.  What is important is that we're certain that it wasn't the result of any supernatural forces, it all just sprang forth from nothing, for no reason, against chance odds of 700 quintillion to one".

    1. No, we are able to test for the expected aftereffects of the big bang using the scientific method; such as background cosmic radiation - which has been found.

    2. You are just speaking nonsense. We aren't trying to replicate the big bang, which seems to be what you're referring to by controls. Were testing the expected phenomenon which should occur if the big bang happened.

    3. Actually the scientists have a lot of evidence for the specific order for how things happened from minute fractions of seconds following the big bang onwards. I suggest you wiki it.

    Also cause wouldn't really play into the big bang as causality wouldn't have existed.

    well, I was wording it so even children could understand, but I guess I can reword it.

    The big bang theory states that, out of knowwhere, for no reason, a singularlity in the middle of nothingness exploded, and the only evidence we have for this hypothesis is the fact that we allegedly detected microwave radiation like what, 93 billion light years away (which is over 546 septillion miles, just so you know).

    Incorrect, we can detect the cosmic background radiation from here on earth and it is just one notable example, like this redshifts of galaxies showing that they are moving away from a single point.

    If you find a massive hole in the desert, you can work out what caused the hole even though you may not be able to test or observe the specific event that caused it.

    When an event in the past occurs, it may effect things in the future. This is called “cause and effect”.

    Now, with the hole in the desert, you can look at the evidence: you can estimate how much time has passed using weathering, and use it to rule out human cause.

    you can perform chemical analysis to determine whether it was a regular or nuclear explosion. 

    You can cross the explanations: if chemical results show it’s nuclear, but weathering tests show its 4bn years old, you may have got something wrong.

    Despite the implied claims here; the Big Bang was a theory put forward after the evidence was discovered.

    Everyone (even Einstein) thought the universe was static. This was until Edwin Hubble measured what stars were doing, and discovered they were all moving apart.

    If they are moving apart today; they must have been closer together yesterday. as looking further and further out to space is also looking further and further backwards in time, we can see that galaxies and stars are all moving apart from each other at every distance.

    As everything is moving apart, there must have been a time when they were closer together. How large was the universe when it started moving apart? And what accelerated everything in the first place?

    The answers to that, to the best of our understanding is “as close to 0 size as we can determine”, and “not entirely sure”.

    However, what happened at the start can affect what we see today: people dismiss the microwave background radiation without realizing that it was a prediction.

    The Big Bang theory stayed that if the universe was all at the same small space and expanded, it would be super hot and dense, and eventually give off radiation in all directions as it cooled; this radiation would be almost identical in every direction, and would be at a very specific frequency of microwaves.

    At this time no one had ever measured this radiation or knew it was there: it was predicted. That is a very big deal, were they just lucky? Was it just a coincidence?

    "If they are moving apart today; they must have been closer together yesterday. as looking further and further out to space is also looking further and further backwards in time, we can see that galaxies and stars are all moving apart from each other at every distance."

    Fascinating (sarc.)

    "As everything is moving apart, there must have been a time when they were closer together. How large was the universe when it started moving apart? And what accelerated everything in the first place?

    The answers to that, to the best of our understanding is “as close to 0 size as we can determine”, and “not entirely sure”.

    However, what happened at the start can affect what we see today: people dismiss the microwave background radiation without realizing that it was a prediction.

    The Big Bang theory stayed that if the universe was all at the same small space and expanded, it would be super hot and dense, and eventually give off radiation in all directions as it cooled; this radiation would be almost identical in every direction, and would be at a very specific frequency of microwaves.

    At this time no one had ever measured this radiation or knew it was there: it was predicted. That is a very big deal, were they just lucky? Was it just a coincidence?"

    I don't detect radiation. Are you referring to the æther?

    I think we need to start at the beginning.  Like, right at the beginning:

    do you think it’s reasonable to claim the sun is going to rise tomorrow?

    if so, why?
    Thank you @Gooberry fine, let's start at the beginning; "light"

    Is the sun going to rise tomorrow?
    This is my, philosophical and scientific, from having observed the world around me over the 61 years, .. answer: "Gods willing", and ONLY Gods willing will the sun rise tomorrow.

    OK, so let's start with In The Beginning - "light", .. but from which perspective, and what "light"? This:


    The Unanswered Question

    The European Council for Nuclear Research (CERN) works to help us better understand what comprises the fabric of our universe. At this French association, engineers and physicists use particle accelerators and detectors to gain insight into the fundamental properties of matter and the laws of nature. Now, CERN scientists may have found an answer to one of the most pressing mysteries in the Standard Model of Physics, and their research can be found in Nature Physics.

    According to the Big Bang Theory, the universe began with the production of equal amounts of matter and antimatter. Since matter and antimatter cancel each other out, releasing light as they destroy each other, only a minuscule number of particles (mostly just radiation) should exist in the universe. But, clearly, we have more than just a few particles in our universe. So, what is the missing piece? Why is the amount of matter and the amount of antimatter so unbalanced?

    OR this:

    Genesis 1: 1 In the beginning God created the Heaven and the earth. (KJV)

    How did God create the Heaven and the Earth?

    (John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God.)

    Here is how: .. John 1:3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.

    Now let's skip to another moment/scene (not another time, because this was before solar time as we know time.)

    Genesis 1:2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. (NIV)

    Here is the first "light" referring to our earth, and the heaven where our stars are:

    .. 3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.

    ___________________

    Here is what I mean, from a scientific perspective, we can ONLY go by what we observe, which is that physical light already exists, and that
    1. for our physical eyes, without light, nothing exists.
    2. For our ears, a radio playing in the dark will tell us that a radio exists. But that is only because "I know and seen a radio"
    3. touch, so if I went blind, and deaf, I could always "feel" the radio

    This is empirical-science, .. do you agree?

    OK, so what if I went completely deaf, dumb and blind, AND lost all sensing/feeling in my body (like being in an isolation chamber) I would start looking at all the things I recorded in my brains memory, and not only "look" at what I have recorded there, but could make up stuff, create, imagine me being on a beautiful tropical island fishing, .. whatever, but that is only because I have stored enough information in my brain from when I still had all my senses. So let's wipe everything I have in my ST, and LT memory,

    Q. Do you think I exist?

    I do not know what that was. But it does not appear to be a reply to anything I just said.

    I asked you, specifically whether you thought the sun sould rise tommorow; and seemed to get what appeared to be a “yes”, though I’m not sure; followed by what appears to be a nonsensical rant.

    Can I ask again: do you think the sun is going to rise tomorrow?

    I think the answer is yes; but it’s not particularly clear.

    1. No, we are able to test for the expected aftereffects of the big bang using the scientific method; such as background cosmic radiation - which has been found.

    2. You are just speaking nonsense. We aren't trying to replicate the big bang, which seems to be what you're referring to by controls. Were testing the expected phenomenon which should occur if the big bang happened.

    3. Actually the scientists have a lot of evidence for the specific order for how things happened from minute fractions of seconds following the big bang onwards. I suggest you wiki it.

    Also cause wouldn't really play into the big bang as causality wouldn't have existed.

    Ampersand - 1. No, we are able to test for the expected aftereffects of the big bang using the scientific method; such as background cosmic radiation - which has been found.



    You mean the "red tint" in the Microwave/Radio telescope reading pointed at the "dome" that Tesla used to send electricity to the whole city? Or where HAARP is being bounced off of? What did they expect getting from a "Radio Telescope" being pointed up would get?

    And of course, like a pack of Lyon going after one pray, once this been documented they will continue reporting every Tom, and Harry observation with this single thought: "microwave background radiation". Yep, .. not HAARP, not the billions of TV, Radio, cell phone towers bouncing off the ionosphere/Dome, but "It is proof of the Big Bang!" sorry, just like the red-tint added to the pictures of the earth desert claimed as pictures of Mars, this proves nothing.

    Also, religious figures like the pope stated that the big bang was real.
    Yet, I'm not religious, I'm agnostic.

    Pogue said:
    A singularity got too dense so it exploded and the universe is still expanding so a logical conclusion is that it had to originate from a single point. Also, not 93 billion miles. The light could not reach us because the universe is not that old. 

    Yet, I thought it was an infinitely dense perfect singularity? 

    My point was, if the universe is really 13 billion years old, then how do we detect radiation and light from over 93 billion light years away?

    I guess you don't disagree with that.

    Unless you want to provide a direct reference so we've some idea what you're talking about, we haven't.

    We can detect radiation from 43 billion light years away due to the expansion of the universe but not 93.


    @Ampersand - We can detect radiation from 43 billion light years away due to the expansion of the universe but not 93.

    OK, so how do you get that you are seeing specks of light from 43 billion light years away when your globe/BB-Universe is only 14 billion years old??

    1. How fast is the universe expanding?
    2. some galaxies are claimed to be coming/crashing into each other like your Andromeda galaxy into the Milky Way, so HOW on Gods Flat Earth can people looking through a telescope KNOW that "this speck of light-dot 41 billion light years away here, is expanding away from that speck of light 43 billion light years away there!?"
    They all could be Big-Crunching for all they know? And this while spinning and twirling through space at near light speed too.

    3. What about Relativistic effects like time dilation, length contraction and mass gain on you on globe-earth, this Milky way Galaxy, relative to the speck of light which contains trillions of star in that one speck of assumed galaxy? That can really screw up distance, time and size of the mass they they are seeing vs what that may really be!?

  • NopeNope 397 Pts   -  
    Evidence The expansion of the universe of course. The universe was smaller so while the object projecting the light is 43 billion light years away now it was closer before. The light only really travels 13 billion light years but the universe expanded to cause the object to expand away from both us and the light.

    Scientist know galaxies are getting farther from each other because of red shifting.

    Scientist know galaxies are getting farther from each other because of red shifting.

    - In 1927, Belgian priest and physicist Georges Lemaître made what is perhaps the greatest discovery in modern cosmology — our universe is expanding. Four years later, he proposed that the universe began with a “single quantum” — what we now call the big bang.

    and here again;

    - Hubble discovered in 1929, the universe was expanding

    A single quantum exploding with a Big-Bang would definitely suggest the universe was expanding, why bother to keep checking if it is or not? Here is a Firefighter Big-banged from a porch, he is receding from the house,

    =1http://i.imgur.com/hOeiR.jpg?photoshopbattles=1

    how many more billions of dollars you think they would spend verifying this event?

    OK, so we have a quantum in, .. umm in what, before it big-banged?

    ___________

    Anyone else here that believes in the globe earth from a big-bang story wants to answer, and prove this BB-Evolution does actually have something, anything to do with science, and not just an attempt to "pat atheists on the back to encourage them to remain atheists"?

    Sci-Fientists: "Yeah Globe Earth Atheists, we got your back, you don't have to give in to any of the millions of evidences out there of God and Creation by I.D., we made up a good story, and all the governments of the world have taken our sides and funding it, so you can freely say: "There is no God", because we own science now, and we labeled God, I.D., Flat Earth, humans created in our Creators image etc. as 'unscientific'.
