Why don't you pick up a copy of Isaac Asimov's Guide to Earth and Space? The paperback version is available for about eight bucks, and the chapters which explain the basic concept of the big bang can be read and fully grasped in a very short time, certainly no more than an hour. Asimov has a wonderful gift for making complex scientific principles easily understandable. His non-fiction books are among the best available for any layman studying any of the subjects he covered, such as the bible, Shakespeare, science and world history.

But you're asking for a debate and not posing one. Simply bringing up the subject of the big bang is not enough. You must be more specific and you must pose an argument of some sort. Otherwise you're just mentioning a subject and asking other people to debate it. You opened the thread, you start the debate.

Re: Flashback to high school
from minnemooseus:
quote:
Present a concise but sufficiently detailed summary of the origin and development of the universe. Then construct an experiment to test your hypothesis.
What I'd love to see is how a Bob Jones University grad would answer that, particularly the part about the experiment.
