who believes in the big bang theory?

Question

do u guys actually believe that a small dot blew up and made the universe??? hard to believe...

Answer 1

Yes I do. It's possible for a small mass to contain a lot of energy. For example, a neutron in a particle accelerator.

Answer 2

I started to explore this topic when I heard of Bose-Einsteinian condensation. It has been discovered that when molecules are brought to temperatures near absolute 0 (in Kelvins) they produce Bose-Einsteinian condensate. To do this, they all combine into one single "super-atom", so to say. Could that be the dot that caused the Big Bang? Before the universe was created, there must have been no energy, therefore the was no heat. The whole emptiness we now call the universe must have been at absolute 0. Any matter that existed for some reason that we aren't even close to explaining, would have existed as Bose-Einsteinian condensate. That means, that our whole entire universe was one little dot...make sense yet? Well, energy was added to this condensate from an unknown source (you can say God if thats what you believe) and all these molecules could no longer stay in condensate form, they must've converted the energy into kinetic motion. All this energy BANGED into the universe we have today.

The biggest proof of the Big Bang theory is the fact that all the other galaxies have been proven to be moving away from a central point at incredible speeds, therefore they must have started moving from the same spot. Also, a natural occuring temperature of absolute zero does not occur in space; it has been tested to be about 3 K, or so I recall. Therefore, there must have been an enormous explosion to distribute this energy into the whole universe.

I hope this has been helpful

Answer 3

Well, science is not for everybody. The people that look through the telescopes and do the equations with the computers are really really smart people, and they wouldn't waste their time and money if they didn't think they were on to something. They don't claim to know all the answers, but they would say it is the closest thing to a logical explanation based on our current understanding of science. Personally I think we are nowhere close to understanding the origin of the universe. The most recent theories say that a new universe is created when two dimensions bump into eachother and cause a cataclysm like the big bang. It's not proven, but it fits all the data better than any other theory at the time.

Answer 4

Why not? I believe it's possible. I also believe that small dot was created and the universe was set into motion. You obviously don't know much about physics to ask this question. That small dot might have been the physical size of 1000's of our galaxies, maybe more. But mass can be compacted. The more mass there is, the more gravity there is. It's not important HOW the universe was created, just that it WAS created. As Christians, we refuse to give science a chance, which gives scientist the opportunity to invalidate our credibility in our claims to the existance of God. But science is all around you. In your current life, you would not be able to survive without it, because you live in a technology trap. Not long ago, religious leaders claimed that anyone who believed that we could transplant organs and keep someone alive was believing in playing God and that they were just denying God's hand.Time will take it's course, and things will happen as planned. If we continue to open our mouths and deny science, we will continue to look like fools. You don't have to stand for science, but you don't have to ignore it either.

Answer 5

Given our current state of knowledge, it is the most plausable and logically consistent explanation for the creation of the physical universe as it stands. I won't go into it in detail because I would be writing here for days, but there is actually no reason for the dichotomy between a belief (or knowledge of) a creator entity and what science knows of the creation of the Universe. If you discard the ideology and dogma of both religion and science and look at the question of creation from its most basic of premises, then you'll see what I mean. You'll need to delve into the more esoteric aspects of quantum theory to follow what I'm on about.

However, the term Big Bang, in my opinion, is not a very good one. It's not even entirely accurate in its description of what occured. It was termed, more as a derisive comment rather than an actual name.....and you can thank Dr Fred Hoyle for the term. He was a proponent of the Steady State Theory, which has fallen by the wayside somewhat.

Answer 6

its a theory, thats all, no more accurate than saying a giant llama farted and out came the universe.

its just a theory based on what limited observation of the near universe we have been able to make since the technology became available.

truth is, no one really knows how it all came to be. its an endless pursuit of a beginning. even if you can discern concretely that a small dot of super heavy mass was floating around in infinite nothingness and just suddenly exploded to creat this vast, borderless universe, it still begs the question... where did the dot come from? how did all that nothingness come to be?

its an unanswerable question and a moot one. existence is infinite. much in the same way we continue to divide matter into smaller and smaller parts, from the atom, to the proton, to the quark and beyond. you can always divide something smaller and smaller. in a universe of science, life is but numbers and numbers know no bounds.

Answer 7

I don't believe in anything without evidence, I think that it is probable. You should never dismiss anything with out getting educated on the subject. Take some quantum physics classes, hopefully you can grasp the material. There are how ever many different theories on the subject, you may find that there is one that is more believable than the big bang theory, like string theory or something.

Answer 8

E=MC^2 proves that a small amount of mass has a massive amount of energy. Most non-scientific people don't know it but what makes this equation so amazing is that C= Speed of light in a vacuum, that is a massive number. So, Energy = Mass * Speed of light ^ 2 . Also NASA sattelites have recently shown that the universe is expading, by sensing radiation from the big bang. Also their is something cold vacuum energy, it's one of the strangest things ever. Every vacuum in the scientific sense of the term (100% empty) actually has random odd energy comming in to existence. Just proves that something can come from something that "seems" to be nothing. nothing may not even be nothing, but be something that is nothing that can only be measured to be nothing. It gets very weird from here. But remember truth is always weirder than fiction.

Answer 9

Because the universe is expanding, they use logic to assume it has always done so, and then more logic to assume that a long time ago it was just one point.
But of course that isn`t always the case, for example a tree is getting bigger but was never one point, it started off as a seed which is much bigger than a single point. So perhaps the universe had a smaller size in the past but was never one point. Could be huh? It wouldn`t have a name as good sounding as "the big bang" though.

Answer 10

It's possible. Not probable, in my opinion.
In any case, It still leaves the big questions unanswered:
Where did the mass come from and how did it get there?
Where did the energy come from to make it start expanding?

I think it's fine that scientists are theorizing about what the universe was like 10s or 100s of billions of years ago. But science can never PROVE any of it, nor can it prove how it (we) all got here, how it all started, if there was a start.

Answer 11

I believe in the Big Bang Theory.

Why? Because there is evidence.
