Hi Tangle

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.
I actually thought 99.9% consensus was considered an accepted theory in scientific circles.

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.
As long as I post what they say you can argue against what they say and not what you imagine I am imagining they said.
Tangle writes:
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.
There is no scientific evidence of anything existing prior to the singularity at T=0.

Because there is no correct side yet. Obviously.
Sure there is a correct answer.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
It was not created by spontaneous combustion from an absence of existence.
It had to be created by something or someone, that had all power, required to produce all the matter in the universe.
There only two theories of the origin of the universe.
1. The oldest is that the universe is eternal having no beginning and no end. There are several different versions of this one.
Einstein believed in 1 of them called Static universe. Until Hubble used the Doppler effect to determine that the universe is expanding.
Then Einstein changed his mind. Because an expanding universe can not be eternal due to entropy.
2. The other is that the universe was created at some point in time.
The BBT is one of those with a little different explanation stating time, and space began to exist at the same time. Lately it has been modified to add everything existed in a pea sized universe that existed 1 billionth of a second after T=0. No explanation of where that little universe came from.
Later Hawking proposed an instanton to produce the universe with no explanation of where it came from. Later some said that little universe was produced by two branes banging together. With no explanation of where those branes could have existed. They require a vacuum to appear in. No explanation of where that vacuum came from or existed.
There was several problems with the big bang theory.
The Horizon Problem
The missing magnetic monopole problem.
The Flatness Problem.
Lack of universal galactic uniformity.
Dark Matter and Dark Energy.
Inflation violates Einstein's General Law of Relativity
The Second Law of Thermodynamics, also known as Entropy.
It violates the First Law of Thermodynamics.

Static universe models fit observational data better than expanding universe models.
The microwave background makes more sense as the limiting temperature of space heated by starlight than as the remnant of a fireball.
Element abundance predictions using the Big Bang require too many adjustable parameters to make them work.
The average luminosity of quasars must decrease with time in just the right way so that their average apparent brightness is the same at all redshifts, which is exceedingly unlikely.
The ages of globular clusters appear older than the universe.

Here is an open letter to science concerning problems with the big bang theory. Partial quote:
quote:
An Open Letter to the Scientific Community was published under the title:
Bucking the big bang
Published in New Scientist, May 22, 2004
The big bang today relies on a growing number of hypothetical entities, things that we have never observed-- inflation, dark matter and dark energy are the most prominent examples. Without them, there would be a fatal contradiction between the observations made by astronomers and the predictions of the big bang theory. In no other field of physics would this continual recourse to new hypothetical objects be accepted as a way of bridging the gap between theory and observation. It would, at the least, raise serious questions about the validity of the underlying theory.
But the big bang theory can't survive without these fudge factors. Without the hypothetical inflation field, the big bang does not predict the smooth, isotropic cosmic background radiation that is observed, because there would be no way for parts of the universe that are now more than a few degrees away in the sky to come to the same temperature and thus emit the same amount of microwave radiation.
Without some kind of dark matter, unlike any that we have observed on Earth despite 20 years of experiments, big-bang theory makes contradictory predictions for the density of matter in the universe. Inflation requires a density 20 times larger than that implied by big bang nucleosynthesis, the theory's explanation of the origin of the light elements. And without dark energy, the theory predicts that the universe is only about 8 billion years old, which is billions of years younger than the age of many stars in our galaxy.
What is more, the big bang theory can boast of no quantitative predictions that have subsequently been validated by observation. The successes claimed by the theory's supporters consist of its ability to retrospectively fit observations with a steadily increasing array of adjustable parameters, just as the old Earth-centered cosmology of Ptolemy needed layer upon layer of epicycles.
God Bless,

There is more real evidence that God exists than the universe began to exist from non existence. Or that it is scientifically eternal.

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.
I thought it meant oneness in either.

You can not test the aftereffect of an assumption.
You can only test observations and see if they fit your assumption
After the body is totally decayed and there is no body left if the bullet did not hit a bone you can't tell if the victim has been shot or not.
In other words you need a pretty fresh body.
But we are talking about assumptions that were made of events that took place billions of years ago

I have no idea where your 99.9% comes from - or rather I do, but it would be rude to say - but I suspect that what you mean is that most physicists accept the big bang hypothesis.
Fine, and so does the group that also hypothesise that the universe existed before it. No one yet knows what was before the big bang.
There is no scientific evidence of anything existing prior to the singularity at T=0.
There are mathematically explained hypotheses. One of which - the one I showed you - is that the universe existed before but in a different state.

No it doesn't, Hawking believed that it could be a spontaneous birth.

Re: Creation
Hi ICANT
We can all rely on your answers for the facts and figures, thanks
It is an impossibility for Jesus to not have a human father, every one born on this planet has a human father. He like me was born to a virgin, that virgin being Virgo the virgin. look up the facts about your virgin Mary and then look up the facts about the star formation Virgo, you will find a lot of similarities. I wouldn't be the first to notice them, which brings me to the question why does the Catholic church hold the worlds largest collection of ancient astrology books known and why doesn't it share them?
ICANT writes:
Why? Jesus created everything
now your getting closer to the truth
ICANT writes:
What belief can be disproved by scientist?
that was my point, nothing in religion can proved , or disproved in the religious eyes, your belief about God is different to every other persons as is mine, do we need a more scientific approach?

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

That doesn't apply in this context. If Jesus and His father are one, you can't have one being invisible and one being unseen.
ICANT writes:
God to you is unseen by you but that does not make Him invisible.

Since they are one and the same they are both visible.
Since Jesus was visible and God is not, clearly they are not one and the same.

The root word is irrelevant. When new things come along, we have to use old root words to describe them. New meanings come from old roots. For example, the word "plane" was around long before there were flying vehicles.
ICANT writes:
You can only test observations and see if they fit your assumption
And that is what science does. An assumption in science is not, "a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof," as you claimed in Message 1303. The conclusions from one set of observations become the assumptions for the next set of conclusions; they are all based on fact.

The Big Bang Theory is a theory not a hypothesis. It has consensus of the majority of scientist. That is what it takes to reach the point a hypothesis becomes a theory. That still does not make it a fact.

Why would you make that statement and follow it with this:
Tangle writes:

Mathematics is not evidence.
If no one knows what existed before T=0 how can anyone write giving evidence for anything that existed prior to T=0?
They can have all kind of ideas, musings, thoughts, equations, but from all that they can only make assumptions with no facts of any kind to support those assumptions.
Now as far as the universe having existed before in a different state.
If you check my past posts from 2007 on you will find I have always agreed with Einstein's eternal universe. My statements went something like this.
I believe the universe is much older than anyone on this website as I believe it has always existed being eternal in the past just not in the form we see it today. I have mentioned trillions of years and quadrillion years but I believe the universe has existed eternally in the past.
Tangle writes:
Huh? I already did.
You have presented no one who has presented any evidence for something existing prior to one billionth of a second after T=0 at which time the universe is said to have a temperature of 10 billion degrees K. Before that is known as singularity which is a mathematical term telling us the math don't work as General Relativity breaks down and gives no information.
This is a quote taken from a review of Sir Roger Penrose book, listed as NON-FICTION Fashion, Faith and Fantasy in the New Physics of the Universe 2016.
quote:
Theoretical physicists are an idealistic lot.
Theirs is the noble struggle to understand the nature of the universe: to know, as Stephen Hawking put it, the mind of God. Yet physicists are human too. They are as flawed as the rest of us — subject to the whims of fashion, dogmas of unquestioning faith and flights of unadulterated fantasy.
These human flaws have led to the present impasse in physics, warns Sir Roger Penrose. His penetrating new book is the long anticipated follow-up to three eponymous lectures he gave at Princeton in 2003. In those talks, he called out the problems, both sociological and technical, in the way physics is done today. In particular, he calls string theory a fashion, quantum mechanics faith, and cosmic inflation a fantasy.

Tangle writes:
No it doesn't, Hawking believed that it could be a spontaneous birth.
I think I was the one who mentioned that. But yes I know Hawking and Hartley presented what they called an instanton as the source of the universe.
The problem with that is the instanton requires a vacuum in order for the particles to pop into existence in. But there was non existence prior to the universe. That would mean the vacuum required for the instanton to begin to exist in did not exist.
That is the problem with the scientific method of the universe beginning to exist. There had to be existence prior to the Big Bang, Hawking/Hartley instanton, any string theory and branes banging together, as all require existence for them to take place in. Hawking even borrowed imaginary time and inserted it in a vertical position so he could do away with the singularity. So he posits the universe beginning to exist in imaginary time.
Tangle writes:
But no one knows yet.
Sure they do.
God told Moses to tell the children of Israel that "I AM THAT I AM" has sent me. The Hebrew word היה means exist. Exodus 3:14.
Therefore God existed prior to the universe.

Some do get it like Sir Roger Penrose, one of the most promient scientist of my lifetime. He believes we need better theories than the ones that is presently the most popular.

Re: Creation
Hi ringo

Light is not the only form of energy.
I thought it took energy to produce light.
Light is photons and electromagnetic waves.
At 10 billion degrees K the soup that existed one billionth of a second after T=0 would have been pure energy.
Pure energy would produce bright light.

I'm not calling God a liar. I'm saying Isaiah was wrong. Darkness is not a "thing" that can be created.
If the entire universe was bathed in this bright light where would darkness come from? As darkness did not exist.
You think of darkness as we know it today with the rotation of the earth relative to the sun producing light periods and dark periods.
But darkness did not exist in the beginning.
ringo writes:
There is no objective evidence that God exists.
Do you mean objective evidence like the objective evidence for the universe not existing at T=0 and yet existing 1 billionth of a second later?
Two branes colliding and creating the universe.
An instanton beginning to exist and producing the present universe.
There is no objective evidence for any of those, making them equal in objective evidence for their existence.

The root word is irrelevant. When new things come along, we have to use old root words to describe them. New meanings come from old roots. For example, the word "plane" was around long before there were flying vehicles.
But a plane is not a flying vehicle.
Definition of Plane:
quote:
a flat surface on which a straight line joining any two points on it would wholly lie.

An airplane is a flying vehicle and defined:
quote:
a powered flying vehicle with fixed wings and a weight greater than that of the air it displaces.

The conclusions from one set of observations become the assumptions for the next set of conclusions; they are all based on fact.
Where do you find that definition of assumption?
It is assumed the universe existed 1 billionth of a second after T=0.
what fact is that assumption based on.
You said they are all based on fact.
ringo writes:
as you claimed in Message 1303.
In Message 1303 I gave the definition of assumption in the form of a question as: "'a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof.' is based on any kind of evidence? "
Here are some dictionary definitions of assumption.
quote:
a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof.
link
quote:
A thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof.
link
quote:
a willingness to accept something as true without question or proof:
link
quote:
The definition of an assumption is an idea that is formed without evidence.

God Bless,
