Ha well I am a progressive creationist, but maybe you can say that just as there was a period of inflation (where the universe exceeded the speed of light) Maybe there was a 'time' where light slowed down? The speed of light (c) doesn't have to be constant (its not). I have no math to support the contention of course.; {>'When Selfish Gene author Richard Dawkins challenged physicist John Barrow on his formulation of the constants of nature at last summer Templeton-Cambridge Journalism Fellowship lectures, Barrow laughed and said, “You have a problem with these ideas, Richard, because you aren't really a scientist. You're a biologist' Edited by RevCrossHugger, : No reason given.

What exactly do you mean by changing the alpha, the energy? I am speaking of relative velocity. The speed of light has been slowed considerably in laboratory experiments and its different in a vacuum than in say earths atmosphere.Additionally were doing a 'thought experiment', and so generally speaking the universe expanded faster than light with the photons (particles or waves?) inside, so I will stand by my statement as it was written in layman terms and as a thought experiment. But thanks for your reply. I do have a off topic question if your a qualified astronomer cosmologist etc. Does the big bang math or empirical experiments say that this is the only universe spawned, or is it possible that meta verses to sprang from the BB?: {> Edited by RevCrossHugger, : No reason given.Edited by RevCrossHugger, : No reason given.Edited by RevCrossHugger, : No reason given.

I may of used c but you know exactly what I meant, so deal with it please! You know this kind of BS gets old fast. In some experiments light has been slowed.Nevertheless, try to get into the spirit of debate instead of trying to muck things up. If I were writing a scientific paper I would have been more precise, it wasn’t I was responding to a member and considering a thought experiment. Nevertheless,thanks for your reply even if it is a bit hostile.; {>* In a Bose-Einstein condensate, the speed of light has been made to go as slow as 17 meters/second.

Why not? That's precisely what Gedanken experiment are for especially if being used to visualize an experiment or work through one! That was what I suggested. I wasn't making it up just for fun. Well I would disagree I am correct for all practical purposes. That's kind of like saying time dilation isn't real time travel. As I said in the reply above "In a Bose-Einstein condensate, the speed of light has been made to go as slow as 17 meters/second". When it takes a second for light to go 17 meters call it what you will result is the same, so I stand by my statement, and thanks for your reply...; }> Edited by RevCrossHugger, : No reason given.Edited by RevCrossHugger, : No reason given.

Hmmm....well....never mind...; {>ps no one (qualified to answer)* has an answer about the standard big bang model and many universes?* The reason I am asking for a PhD or someone qualified to answer the question is that I am in a bit of a argument with a PhD and the answer to big bang question would either win it for me or crush me out of existence like stepping across the event horizon of a non rotating black hole....

Thanks for your reply onifre.; {>

Thanks onfire that may silence lot of anti KCA people who are members in another forum. They are attempting to discredit the KCA by saying that the Big Bang allowed many universes which would weaken the first cause argument (ie the KCA).; {>Edited by RevCrossHugger, : No reason given.

BS (in a godly manner of course).And cavediver,I doubt your claims of a higher education, you make too many mistakes in your replies and threads. My learning is not science oriented so yes I will make an mistake here and there in science related questions etc. As for your insults directed towards me I say please go find a deep cave to explore, hopefully one with a hungry shark in it.I am tickled by the attitude most of you have. Is it my avatar, or my religion or a combination of factors? Nevertheless, I from this point on will not answer any replies with personal content. Its a waste of my time, and this forums time.; {>Edited by RevCrossHugger, : No reason given.Edited by RevCrossHugger, : No reason given.Edited by RevCrossHugger, : No reason given.

Hee hee . Ummm Hey cavediver believes something other than the overwhelmingly accepted scientific theory, ie the Big Bang. But he is all over anyone that goes against the party line, or makes a mistake hmmm’The MWI or MWT has no empirical evidence to support it. Only mathematical pipe dreams much like ”string theory”.; {>Edited by RevCrossHugger, : No reason given.

Ha ha really! Well I am a serious amateur astronomer and am well respected by my peers, so no I am not insulted by your comments because you are simply attempting to save face amongst your peers. You not knowing what the KCA and related comments is tell me all I need to know about your knowledge base. BTW I have a MA in C. Theology and will provide proof if anyone wants to pay for copies and my time to get my records to them. What a group of yes men we have here!
; }>Whats that clicking sound? Hark! its the sound of all the Google scientists here looking for 'what the hell is the KCA'? Click click afway and get back to me...Edited by RevCrossHugger, : No reason given.

I said universe, not Godel universe etc , universe. A universe a universe. Google it. No, not at all, I would suggest that you are. So, click click away and get back with me when you have learned basic cosmology...Thanks for your replies, I answered the non personal ones which was zero. As I said I would trade my educational credentials and other achievements (I owned and ran an R&D/and testing lab for four years) with anyone here. That should shut up the posers here. So if you must try and discredit my education and belittle my intelligence etc put up or shut up, got it?; }>btw I determine personal content key words and stop reading at that point, so no replies were fully read....FYIJust for fun, how many Christians do we have in here? Yep just as I thought, the real reason for the confrontational attitude is beyond evident... Edited by RevCrossHugger, : No reason given.Edited by RevCrossHugger, : No reason given.

I will have another look at it. Thanks for the heads up.; {>
