The problems of big bang theory. What are they?

Ok forget about matter, I just want you to understand that a infinite universe is simply as impossible as having a GodI quote Keith Mayes who uses info from Stephen Hawking:
"I understand that many people have a problem with the idea of our universe being finite, that it has an 'end' to it, a boundary. They ask what this boundary would be physically like, as though it were some form of partition that we couldn't get through. However, there is not a particular direction that we could set off in our warp speed space craft that would lead us to a boundary, no matter how far or fast we travelled. The explanation for this seeming impossibility is that space-time is curved, thus you would be travelling in a circle that only appears to be a straight line. If it were possible to direct a laser beam from here through the centre of the universe it would not hit the other side of the universe, it would eventually hit the back of your head (metaphorically speaking). Einstein demonstrated how matter in the universe distorts the space-time continuum by accurately predicting how much our Sun distorted local space. He used a total eclipse of the Sun (as the only time that stars and the Sun can be seen at the same time in close proximity) to demonstrate that a star that was behind the Sun, and therefore not visible from our line of sight, would in fact be visible (in the darkness of totality) because the Sun warps the space-time around it and thus curves the light beam around the Sun, enabling us to see the star. Strictly speaking, the Sun does not actually curve the light around itself, the entire space-time continuum is curved, the light is still travelling in a 'straight' line.""I do not believe that infinity exists in our universe."END QUOTEThe last part is what it all comes down to. Even after this, there is still no way yet of explaining what created our "curved space-time universe" This is why infinity cannot be applied to the universe.
The question once again goes right back to "but how does this curved space-time universe" in which infinity does not exist relate to what could be outside of it. You cannot because it is curved and we are bounded by this.
We cannot yet explain how a universe that has no infinity could have come to existence in the first place because that would contradictorily require something to be infinite to create this finite universe.It is simple as that, an unresolved question, there truly is no answer yet to how the universe could come to be when it itself requires something infinite.On the other hand is a BELIEF in a Creator who is infinite.
This would not have any scientific boundaries because it is just that; a BELIEF Edited by TyberiusMax, : spelling

Now, I am in fact prepared to explain to you the difference between something that is finite in space and something that is finite in time --- or perhaps you could figure that out for yourself? --- and, indeed, why applying the same sort of thinking to the dimension of time would prove your thesis incorrect --- and why the entirely unsupported opinion of someone who has read Stephen Hawking is not definitive --- but first I should like you to show some vague signs of having read and understood just one or two of the things I've already explained to you.Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

Am I mistaken.. or do I not see you explaining anything that goes against anything I say?All you have done is reply with simple sentences that do not try to disprove anything I say, along with simply denying credit to the two quotes of Davies, and Mayes/Hawking.I don't know about you but it I find it hard to counter ideas that simply say "thats illogical". You must explain why a idea is illogical before you can claim that it is not.To say that someone's answer is wrong would mean that you yourself knew the answer. Otherwise what else does saying their answer is not logical mean.Edited by TyberiusMax, : spellingEdited by TyberiusMax, : spelling

I do not deny the hypothesis that the universe is finite yet somehow "just exists".
Because there is no evidence to go against or for itIn the same manner you cannot deny the hypothesis of a God who is independent of existence because he can niether be proven nor disproven because there is no evidence for either.Edited by TyberiusMax, : No reason given.

TyberiusMax Why would you postulate a hypothesis of a God independent of existence since this, by default, excludes him from any interaction with the universe itself? That God can neither be proven nor disproven only means that the hypothesis has no grounds in the first place since this would allow for any possibilty { teacups in orbit,invisible,immaterial dragons in the garage, etc} whatever and thus also leaves the realm of reasonable discussion.

You're mistaken, as you will see if you ever bother to read my posts. These vague ramblings appear to have nothing to do with anything I posted.---Could I add that reading Stephen Hawking and then writing something about the same subject is not the same as co-authoring a work with Stephen Hawking.

If you ever get round to reading this quotation instead of just quoting it, you will see that nowhere does he say that it is impossible for the universe to be infinite it time. What he's actually saying is that it is not impossible for the universe to be finite in space.

That may or may not be true, but it is the subject for a different thread.This thread is supposed to be about problems with the Big Bang model. So far, no one has really come up with any real compelling problems with the Big Bang model.

Of course God can be proven. This may be a big shocker to some people, but there have been many who have seen him and interacted with him after dying. There are a whole series of phenomena that prove the existance of God. Both evos and creos seem to be totally clueless on that subject which is why it's always reduced to one side claiming anything they haven't seen in our material world does not exist, and the other side saying it does exist because it says right here in the Bible it exists. Materialistic denial vs blind faith. Whatever happened to objective scientific observable evidence?

Welcome to EvC, Elhardt.The post to which you are replying is part of a conversation that is off-topic for this thread. This thread is supposed to be about whether there are any problems with the Big Bang model. Whether or not there is evidence for or against the existence of a god, or whether a god can be proven or disproven is better discussed in another thread.

This topic is way too long to read the whole thing, but I'll throw in some interesting info.Astronomers tell us that no matter how far out into the universe they look (that means looking back in time to a younger universe), all spiral galaxies appear the same age to us, with the same amount of twist, and the same amount of development. That defies any common sense at all. There are many unexplainable things we see.The universe is expanding if the redshift is doppler based. But we see redshift from the sun and we're not moving away from it. There is anomalous redshift all over the place totally confusing the picture.I did see somebody mention the problem about things in the universe being older than the universe. Even the official NASA website admitted the problem. A 14 billion old universe with stars, galaxies, and dust clouds ranging from 17-19 billion years old is a problem. Apparently the way they're solving it is just hacking billions of years off the ages of things to bring them down below 14 billion years. Science did the same with the moon, by hacking 1.5 billion years off to bring it to the age of the earth to support their new theory. This is why one must take the things they say with a grain of salt.Edited by Elhardt, : No reason given.

Yes, thanks, I know about the topic, but was just responding to other people who were dragging God into the picture, I guess in relation to the creation of the universe. I just wanted to make a short point and not actually go into the actual evidence which as you point out should be another thread.

Ignore this post. I just learned I could edit the mistakes in my post #131, so no need for this post of corrections.Edited by Elhardt, : No reason given.

I doubt that this is true.- Actually, the amount of red-shift of a galaxy correlates strongly with the distance between us and the galaxy. This is what would be expected if the universe is expanding -- in fact, I can't think of anything else that would create a red-shift that correlates with distance.Also, the General Theory of Relativity is an extremely well verified theory. And according to GR, the universe should be contracting or expanding. So in that context, an expansion of the universe seems to be a pretty good bet.- That has been mentioned before. No one says that our theories are completely precise. If the age calculated for the universe is off by a couple of billion years, and if the ages calculated for various stars or other objects are also off by a couple of billion years, then it's perfectly plausible that the ages of the various objects might be calculated to be older than the calculated age of the universe.These would be problems if it were believed that the theories and calculations describing these things were completely, totally precise.So: is not a problem is the Big Bang model -- it is a problem with understanding in better detail the theories that describe these phenomena and making better measurements of what we see in the sky with our instruments.And, in fact, new measurements and better, more accurate theories have eliminated most of these discrepancies.- I don't believe this, either.
