Discussing what happened supposedly 20 something BILLION years ago?!?!?! What's the point? First, we have absolutely NO idea how physics works in a situation like the proposed "Big Bang", and second, how can we even begin to theorize about something that happened SOOOOO long ago?
However, since these topics seem to be the order of the day around here, I guess it's worth talking about.
In my oppinion, the first logical question to ask someone who advocates any version of the Big Bang would be this: What is the rediculously, tremendously, ludicrously, unimaginable force required to break up all the matter, space, and time? We believe in the existence of black holes, whose gravitational pull can contain even the most energetic known force in the universe (light, or radioactive energy) and yet people insist that there must have been something to cause this space, time, and matter to explode. How could the matter have "exploded"? There's no known force powerfull enough to separate this matter.
However, I would assume that the typical pro-Big Bang response would be that there really was no matter. Well, that's just fine and dandy, because that means that EVERYTHING we see, including the space and time it is located in, came from nothing, by nothing, and for nothing. Boy, that kinda sucks the joy out of living, doesn't it?
To say that there was nothing and then a nanosecond later thare is EVERYTHING is so logically ignorant, that I wonder how scientists can even ascribe to it. Where have we ever observed, as a species, something coming from nothing? With the physical laws of our universe, it is impossible. So, how to get around that? Well, I would assume that one might say that the laws of physcis were different back then. Another logically ignorant thing to say. If the laws were different back then, how do we know when they changed? And even more scary, how do we know they won't change again?
I really wish someone would please show me the scientific evidence for the Big Bang Theory, or any other cosmologic origins theory other than Creation. It would be so nice for me to quit disagreeing with every single scientist I run into on the subject of cosmology. But I just can't take the leap of faith that they do, because unless there is a better explanation, I have to believe that there must have been some type of creation event (I won't get into what kind on this thread, since that's not the topic).
