Well if the singularity does not exist.
You mean the Creo's have been right all the time?
Are you saying God is a better answer than singularity?
If you want to quotemine me and ignore the obvious implications in what I am saying then I'm afraid I'm too busy to bother communicating any further
Have fun.
Watching you play the fool with my time is not fun

I was getting along with what Rahvin said rather easily but cavediver blew my mind with this.

If there was no singularity that the Big Bang expanded from into our universe. There could have been no abiogenesis, thus no evolution which means according to science I am not sitting here typing this message. It is only a figmant of my imagination which does not exist.
Either that or the Bible is correct and God created the universe and put man in it.
Or Big Bang is dead and we have another theory.
Have fun,

You tell me:

This topic and its predecessor are so littered with abuses of terminology
When I asked:
ICANT writes:
which is the best explanation for the origin of the universe. God or the Singularity including the Big Bang.
Then you started answering someone else rather than address my question what do you expect me to do?
If you are convinced of the string or superstring theory just say so.
But that has nothing to do with the question.

Re: Re-North Pole
Well, people generally refer to the "north pole" as the true north pole and the magnetic north pole as the magnetic north pole.
How is nitpicking going to answer this question?
We rely on the compass to see where north generally lies if we are standing quite a ways from there. If you're an explorer seeking the north pole (the true north pole), I don't think you'd give a shit what your compass says.
So, answer the question. What's north of the north pole?
People always ask what's before the singularity as if it's somehow going to destroy science and bring back christian theocratic rule. I'm just tired of seeing this argument put forth over and over... as if 200 years of science advancement will be destroyed by this question.

You mean just like when people ask who created god?
Cause I'm tired of seeing that one too.

First, a question can destroy nothing the answer is another thing.
Science says there was a singularity. Big Bang says there was a singularity.
Unless Science has changed it's collective mind. There are many that think the theory as now put forth is very incomplete.
I say there was no singularity therefore there could be no Big Bang as taught.
You care to show evidence that I am wrong? I would love to discuss it.
That is the question in the OP God or singularity, including Big Bang.
Have fun,

Why don't (can't) you show evidence that you are right?

Re: Re-North Pole
Hi Scientist,
Catholic Scientist writes:
Why don't (can't) you show evidence that you are right?
First we must decide if there was a beginning.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
http://www.umich.edu/~gs265/bigbang.htm
One of the most persistently asked questions has been: How was the universe created? Many once believed that the universe had no beginning or end and was truly infinite. Through the inception of the Big Bang theory, however,no longer could the universe be considered infinite. The universe was forced to take on the properties of a finite phenomenon, possessing a history and a beginning.
About 15 billion years ago a tremendous explosion started the expansion of the universe. This explosion is known as the Big Bang. At the point of this event all of the matter and energy of space was contained at one point. What exisisted prior to this event is completely unknown and is a matter of pure speculation.
However, science has now told us that the universe is, in fact, finite, with a beginning, a middle, and a future.
Beginning - definition of beginning by The Free Dictionary
be·gin·ning 1. The act or process of bringing or being brought into being; a start.
This definition implies that none of the things brought into being during the orgin of the universe had an existence prior to the orgin of the universe.
Therefore it is not the distribution of things but the actual creation of those things and the distribution of them.
Can we agree that these statements are true?
Have fun,

"John 5:39 (KJS) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."

Re: Re-North Pole
Can we agree that these statements are true?
I can assume that anything is true for the sake of arguing
If fact, you can just phrase your argument as: If X is assumed to be true, then Y.
And then you don't even have to ask for my agreement to move the argument forward. If I don't agree with your assumptions then I can still address your agument, or I can address why your premises are false.
But anyways....
This definition implies that none of the things brought into being during the orgin of the universe had an existence prior to the orgin of the universe.
They did not have existance as they are now, but what they came from was not a total lack of anything, meaning that they did not come from nothing.
Therefore it is not the distribution of things but the actual creation of those things and the distribution of them.
Like I said, the Big Bang is not creation ex nihilo...
Also:
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Is more accurately read, according to the hebrew, as:
quote:
In the beginning, when god was creating the heaven and the earth...
Not that it happened at some instant in the past.

Science fails to recognize the single most potent element of human existence.
Letting the reigns go to the unfolding is faith, faith, faith, faith.
Science has failed our world.
Science has failed our Mother Earth.
-System of a Down, "Science"
He who makes a beast out of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man.

Not a trick question
Suppose you are standing directly on the north pole. You ask, "what's north of here?" Is there an answer to this question?
Since you seem to want to play word games instead of learning something let me try to tighten up the question:
If you are standing directly on the north pole of the earth's axis of rotation (the magnetic pole has n o t h i n g to do with this and you should know that) and you ask "what is north of here?". Is there an answer to that question?
It is not a trick. It is a learning tool to understand something about the formation of valid statements and questions.

Unfortunately, that is all ICANT wants to do. His disrespect for actual knowledge is blatently obvious. Typical idiot teenager. As a Christian, he needs to go to his pastor and ask him about humility and how one goes about learning topics that are seriously out of his depth. Hopefully his pastor will have the good grace to explain a few home truths.

FYI, actually, I think he's an old fart (no offense to anyone), like almost 70 years old. But his behavior is the same, you're correct.

Sure it is a trick question. It is intended to divert the attention away from the real question. Which is:
ICANT writes:
which is the best explanation for the origin of the universe. God or the Singularity including the Big Bang.
It is just like another question that is asked: "Then who created God?"
Would you like to discuss the question I proposed in my OP or your question.

Faulty Premise
As many others have attempted to explain to you, the entire premise of your question is faulty. It's like asking: "Which is a better typewriter, a giraffe or a bologna sandwich?"
I have my own question. Are we going to be mucking up the cosmology boards with this stuff as well?

Glad to see you are still here.

Could I correct just a couple of things you wrote? Oh well I will anyway.
I was born the first time in 1939 I was born again in 1949.
I began my first pastorate when in 1967.
I am presently my pastor so I don't have anyone to go to.
As far as humility I have been around EvC too long to have any of that left to use while on site.
I have all the respect in the world for knowledge it is fantastic.
When it comes to lies, half truths, and suppositions that is a different story. I have no respect for those.
Would you like to discuss my question or throw up smoke?
Or you could say the Big Bang and singularity is lacking in evidence to answer your question. However I, cavediver and others have a better theory or an amendment to the Big Bang theory. Then we could discuss that.
Have fun,
