That is not how assumptions are defined in science. For example, the "assumption" that radioactive decay rates do not change has been tested thoroughly.

Hi Tangle,

You have no business picking a side that you think supports your religious argument whilst pretending that it's settled science and that no other position exists it isn't and it doesn't.
I thought I picked the majority side.
quote:
I think that at least 99.9 percent of the people working in scientific cosmology today believe that the universe evolved from a hot dense state, exactly as Sandra Faber spoke about earlier. This theory is strongly supported by the direct observation of the expansion of the universe via the redshift of the light from distant galaxies, by the measurement of the abundances of the light chemical elements, and by the now very precise measurements of both the spectrum and the very small nonuniformities of the cosmic microwave background radiation. Thus, most scientists (including me) believe that the universe as we know it began in a big bang some 11 to 16 billion years ago.
Tangle writes:
You haven't the first idea what the Big Bang is, never mind whether anything existed before it. You're miles out of your depth arguing dishonestly.
This is quoted from a talk given by Alan Guth at Cosmic Questions, April 14-16, 1999, National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C.
I argue facts that are presented by the scientists I quote.
If they are right or wrong is not my fault.
Do you think Guth's side is the wrong side?
If so why don't you try to present the correct side.
God Bless,

Yes the cmbr is evidence of a long light period in the beginning.
But that also supports the day the Lord God Created the heavens and earth in that lasted until He created darkness.
The primordial elements being found throughout the universe also supports God creating the universe. They would have to be there
Since God stretched out the heavens you would also see that the universe is expanding.
Yes you have presented evidence that supports the BBT as for as it goes. But there are many problems with the BBT.
But the evidence you presented supports creation by God as good if not better than the BBT.

Tested thoroughly over how many years.
Can you tell me what the radioactive rate of decay was a trillion years ago as we measure time? And yes I believe the universe is a lot older than that.
Can you even tell me what the radioactive rate of decay was 13.7 billion years ago.
You can make all the assumptions you want but you were not there to test it then so what ever you decide is just an assumption. It may be true or it may be false.
God Bless,

Why are you picking sides? The fact that there are sides tells you that there is not yet a settled scientific concensus yet you picked a side that you thought would help you.
You're also confused about what the scientists are saying - not surprising because you're not a scientist, so you post stuff that you don't understand imagining that it supports your position.
The scientists are not saying that the big bang didn't happen, they're saying that a universe existed before it. ie it's eternal.
If so why don't you try to present the correct side.
Because there is no correct side yet. Obviously.

Re: Creation
Scientist make up theories that are their assumptions based on what they see as fact, their theories are held as fact until another scientist can PROVE it is wrong, there for science is an evolving process, yet religious people have made their minds up full stop. give a scientist the phrase I and my farther are one and he will ask who is his father not who is God?
Jesus father was Joseph, so I believe he was saying that he maybe in his eyes he both looks and thinks like his farther? Not that his father is God? If he meant God maybe he would have said his creator? Or maybe just said God. My assumption being that religion is not a scientific theory and doesn't have to be proven by the religious (its only their belief) but can be disproved by scientists hands down? or can it?

the first will be the last and the last will be the first.

No it isn't. It says nothing about duration.
ICANT writes:

God did not "create" darkness. He separated the light from the darkness -i.e. He separated the day from the night. That has to do with the rotation of the earth, not the Big Bang.
ICANT writes:

It is not possible to scientifically support creation "by God" unless you can support scientifically that God exists - and you can't.
ICANT writes:

That's right. YOU don't get to redefine how science defines assumptions.
ICANT writes:
Invent words if necessary.
No, it's perfectly fine to use different definitions of words in different contexts. For example, the word "unity" has a different meaning in politics than it does in mathematics.
ICANT writes:
Can you even tell me what the radioactive rate of decay was 13.7 billion years ago.
If you think it was different, you'd have to show that it was different AND you'd have to show what caused it to change. Without evidence of a change, we can't pretend that there was a change.
ICANT writes:
You can make all the assumptions you want but you were not there to test it...
We can test the aftereffects, if any. We don't have to "be there" when a murder is committed to observe that the body is dead and that there is a bullet-hole in it.

Well, I wasn't there when my father banged my mother and I was concieved as a result. All the DNA evidence indicate that I'm their biological child...I didn't have to be there in a peep show to know that it happened. And we can test it. DNA. It is true. My father banged my mother.

Hi Man

Scientist don't make up theories.
Assumptions are made. Hypothesis are formed evidence is gathered, examined, tests are made, conclusion are made, and if enough scientists agree it can become a theory. Even if they are wrong, as they have been so many times in the past.
Son of Man writes:
Jesus father was Joseph,
Jesus had no human father his mother was a virgin when He was born.
Son of Man writes:
God maybe he would have said his creator?
Why? Jesus created everything and made everything that was made and is the force that holds it together.
Son of Man writes:
My assumption being that religion is not a scientific theory
Religion is not a theory. It is a fact if when you use the word religion you are talking about a set of beliefs that are believed and practiced by people.
There are over 4,000 different religions in the world, and 34,000 so called Christian denominations. But when it comes down to it one's of those that are doing things the way that pleases God is very few.

What belief can be disproved by scientist? Be specific.

If I was standing in front of you, your physical body would be visible to me but your spirit and mind would not be visible to me. But they would be there just the same. They are all 3 one and the same.

So What?
You were there when the 23 chromosomes from the egg of your mother was fertilized by the 23 chromosomes from your fathers sperm.
It makes no difference that occurred because you mother and father had sex or your mother's egg was put in a test tube with your fathers sperm. It works either way. You could have then been placed in a surrogant mother to carry you to natural birth.
