Re: If God Made the Universe, Who Made God?

I don't claim to know the exact nature of the singularity when it came into existence and started the Big Bang. According to the Big Bang theory, the singularity marks the instantaneous transition from nothing to infinite density and temperature in an infinitesimally small space. What are you talki...

Re: If God Made the Universe, Who Made God?

Sure it does... It is the consensus of the scientific community that Matter and energy came into existence with the Big Bang. If you don't like the consensus position of the scientific community, that's fine. But... one more time... your real disagreement is with the consensus position of the scien...

Re: If God Made the Universe, Who Made God?

According to Wikipedia, science is unable to describe the behavior of the universe during either the Planck Epoch or the singularity that initiated the Big Bang. Which means the first law of thermodynamics cannot be relied on to accurately describe the behavior of the earliest stages of the formati...

Re: If God Made the Universe, Who Made God?

Again most scientists do acknowledge that matter, energy, space, and time were created by the Big Bang, as both National Geographic (hardly a bastion of religious fervor) videos explicitly state. To address your point, the physical laws of our universe, including the laws of physics, were also crea...

Re: If God Made the Universe, Who Made God?

You are simply wrong on this one... And a lot of your misconceptions surround this particular issue. So I think it would be beneficial to clarify this specific point. Let me post links to two videos from National Geographic that confirm what science says about the Big Bang theory. There are many ma...

The definition and scope of Science...

Re: If God Made the Universe, Who Made God?

That is also a factually accurate statement But none of those factually accurate statements do anything to rebut the fact that... the Big Bang theory DOES describe WHEN energy, time, and space were caused. In fact there is a timeline section beginning at time = 0 in the Big Bang article you referen...

Re: If God Made the Universe, Who Made God?

Under Misconceptions, it says "the Big Bang model does not describe how energy, time, and space were caused" which is an accurate statement However, the Big Bang theory does describe WHEN energy, time, and space were caused. Here is what it says: One of the common misconceptions about the...

Re: If God Made the Universe, Who Made God?

Sure it does... At or after time = 0. For example.. from your wikipedia article "Inflation stopped at around the 10−33 to 10−32 seconds mark, with the universe's volume having increased by a factor of at least 1078. Reheating occurred until the universe obtained the temperatures required for t...

Re: If God Made the Universe, Who Made God?

As you point out scientists do not know HOW the universe began, but the Bing Bang theory does indicate WHEN the universe began. So, do you agree or disagree with the following statements about the Big Bang theory? The Big Bang theory describes WHEN the matter and energy in our universe began The Bi...

Re: If God Made the Universe, Who Made God?

For those who are interested, here is a 45 minute video where Stephen Meyer discusses a number of topics regarding the history of the Big Bang theory, the science of the Big Bang theory, and a number of theories scientist have about the beginning of our universe. Stephen Meyer Discusses the Big Bang...

Re: If God Made the Universe, Who Made God?

(under Misconceptions) One of the common misconceptions about the Big Bang model is that it fully explains the origin of the universe. However, the Big Bang model does not describe how energy, time, and space were caused, but rather it describes the emergence of the present universe from an ultra-d...
