BTW, I'VE HAD TO HONOR TO VISIT THE NASA FACILITY IN THE VIDEO

I understand what you're trying to say, but the majority of scientists are not throwing out the Big Bang Theory.� It still explains how our universe came to be.� What came before that is still debateable.

The video speaks upon things like cosmic inflation, dark matter, dark energy, etc... that was just taught last semester in my intro astronomy class.



This video might of interest to you if you haven't seen it.

that is one SICK video, thx for posting it!

NO MATTER HOW YOU WANT TO LOOK AT IT FROM SCIENCE OR RELIGIOUS STANDPOINT. IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT CAN EVER BE ANSWERED BY HUMANS WHETHER WE WANT TO USE SCIENCE OR RELIGION. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A PARADOX....

I.E.

SCIENCE -

- EVERYTHING STARTED WITH AN INFINITELY SMALL POINT THAT EXPANDED.
- WELL WHERE DID THAT INFINITELY SMALL POINT COME FROM AND WHY DID IT CHOOSE TO EXPAND AT THE POINT THAT IT DID?
- THERE ARE DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS/MULTIVERSES THAT THAT POINT SPRANG OUT OF.
- WELL WHERE DID THOSE DIMENSIONS/MULTIVERSES COME FROM?

AND SO ON AND SO ON....THIS CAN GO ON FOREVER.

NOT TO MENTION THESE THEORIES CAN'T EVER BE PROVEN AS ADMITTED BY THE SCIENTISTS WHO PROPOSE THEM THEMSELVES. THIS SOUNDS LIKE DAMN RELIGION TO ME. THEY MAKE THESE CLAIMS WITH NO PROOF, BUT THEY SCOFF AT RELIGION? HMMMM....WHAT PART OF THE GAME IS THAT?


RELIGION -

- GOD CREATED EVERYTHING.
- WHO CREATED GOD?
- AND IF YOU CAN SAY GOD IS CREATED THAN WHO CREATED THE CREATOR OF GOD?

AND SO ON AND SO ON....THIS TOO CAN GO ON FOREVER.

IMO, ARGUING EITHER SIDE IS FUTILE BECAUSE YOU CAN ALWAYS ASK THE, "WHO CREATED THE CREATOR" TYPE QUESTION ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ARGUMENT. EVENTUALLY, YOU COME TO THE POINT WHERE THE ONLY ANSWER IS, "IT JUST IS". SCIENTISTS TRIED THIS WITH THE BIG BANG AND NOW THEY DON'T EVEN BELIEVE THEIR OWN THEORY.

Stop yelling.

FROM JORDAN BRAND TO NIKE RETRO TO GENERAL.

YOU'VE BEEN ON MY RIDE LONG ENOUGH.

WHAT YOU HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH, I DO NOT KNOW. MY POSTS WON'T CHANGE.

FEEL FREE TO STRIKE THROUGH THIS POST AS WELL AFTER READING IT, WHICH I KNOW YOU WILL READ.

MAN DID MY COSMOLOGY AND ASTRONOMY PROFESSORS HATE ME IN COLLEGE. I CHALLENGED THE CRAP OUT OF THESE IDEAS. LEFT A COUPLE STUMPED AS WELL

. I JUST DON'T THINK SCIENCE OR RELIGION WILL EVER GIVE US DEFINITE ANSWERS.

INTERESTING VIDEO. I WATCHED TONS OF VIDEOS AND LECTURES ON THESE TOPICS AND HAVE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF THEM BUT HAVEN'T SEEN THIS VID.

THOUGH I TRULY BELIEVE THE, "EVERYTHING FROM NOTHING" IDEA IS WORSE THAN RELIGION.

Even the Catholic school I went to didn't disregard the scientific beginnings of the universe, life, etc. My religion teachers told us to see the Bible as more of a "life-lesson" type of book since most of the stories are metaphorical/allegorical. Like I said though, this was a very liberal Catholic high school, but this changed me from a religion-hating atheist to an accepting/open minded one

I'm catholic as well, out of all the christian "sects" catholicism is by far the biggest sham and fraught with hypocrisy.

OP your sis is brilliant for her age, took her 8 years what I found out in 19

In this society we choose to follow parts of the bible that seem best for our lifestyle. I am no exception, peep my favorite bible verse

...

1 Timothy 2:12

I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent.

The BB is not irrelevant in that it is still applicable to everything up to the 10^-37 second.  Religion is no where close.
If you work out what "nothing" is or dark matter, the math fits perfectly.  If there is something that came before us, scientists would happily admit that they were wrong.  Good luck seeing that happen with religion.

To dismiss science for what religion has to offer would take us back to the iron age.
