ok big bang part II?

Question

ok to re-iterate my question, i will clerify, what happened before the earth came to existance.

whatever dating u wish to use, 4000 different beliefs out there, pick and choose yours. add 100 billion years before the earths "birthday" and what was there?

how do u justify this using your version of dating? uranium, platonium, blah blah blah. which method did you use? and when did u do this? or do you base this belief in a book as christians base theirs in a book? do you do your own scientific experiment?

why do you believe a book based on claims by one, and not by another? being science books that you havent proven yourself, your basing your belief on claim by that scientist, is the only difference that scientists are commonly known as "intelligent" or something?

Answer 1

I'm not familiar enough with big bang to specifically answer your questions, but I'm sure you could go to a science museum.

But the bottom line is this: very, very smart people -- Einstein, Hawking, etc -- agree on some version of the Big Bang. There are differences in their theories, there are problems in their theories. Their theories can be supported with math and evidence, but they cannot be "tested" per se.

But, all of this is far better than just making things up without evidence or math or reason. That's why you don't find any creation science in cosmology.

The difference between reading a Bible and taking it at face value and reading a collection of science books and taking them at face value? Do I really have to answer that?

Well you can see Hubble images of objects of images that are billions of light years away. So if you buy the distance, you have to buy that what you are seeing took billions of years for the light to get here. You can see Andromeda with your own eye. It is 25 million light years away, so you are seeing it as it was 25 million years ago. That is one easy way to tell the Universe is old.

The way they dated the age of the universe is that it is expanding. They roughly extrapolated it back to when everything would have been in one place. And that is what they use. This isn't the most accurate, but it is a good guess. It gets changed a little all the time. The rate of expansion was recently found to be increasing. This was predicted by Einstein, but he later hedged on that prediction. That changes the calculation some.

The most compelling evidence that the Universe began with an explosion is that the theory made several predictions that took decades to confirm. The best example is that it predicted a back ground radiation coming from every direction that would be left over echoes of explosion. It took a long time to get instruments that could detect it, but it is there.

... you do realize that the Earth isn't the only planet out there right? The whole universe doesn't revolve around the Earth.

What happened before the Earth is alot of dust, and energy, and gravity.

Or do you mean the beginning of all things? Because you're talking two different things here.

Really seems like you have the need to learn about astronomy and how it works. If I were to teach you here, I would take far more pages than I'm willing to devote to it or than you're willing to accept.

You can't teach someone astronomy, geology, astrophysics, or anything else in just a few sentences on some web board.

Go back to school and learn about it like regular people.

Answer 4

How do we justify the dating? Radioactive decay is a very well understood mechanism - we've known about it for more than a hundred years. It's not a matter of opinion - it works very well and is extremely predictable. Yes, every physics student did experiments with radioactive decay in college. I did as well. It works, trust me.

The universe is only 13.7 billion years old, so I'm not sure what you mean by the '100 billion years before the Earth's 'birthday'' thing. There was nothing there - there was no universe that we are aware of. Our own is only 13.7 billion years old.

Answer 5

"being science books that you haven't proven yourself, your basing your belief on claim by that scientist, is the only difference that scientists are commonly known as "intelligent" or something?"

first off that run on sentence does not make sense. any of your sentences are fragments and why do you assume everyone has gone into research of their own scientific reasoning of the beginning of the universe?

"do you do your own scientific experiment?" ?

i'm voting this as the worse question i've ever read on this site.

everyone who agrees with me say so

Answer 6

I have a hard time understanding what exactly you are saying, but I think you're asking about how do we 'know' the big bang occured.

It's not a matter of 'dating', such as carbon dating, but based off the observation that spacetime is expanding; which we can see by galaxies getting farther and farther away.

I think it was Einstein who took this, and applied physics to go in the opposite direction (back in time you could say), which took him to the point in which all of spacetime was condensed to a very small point. Unfortunately, once he went 'back' far enough into time with relativity, the 'rules' just fell apart.

Answer 7

Well thank you for providing a working link for me!! ^^ I tried all morning to watch this video but YG are slow in uploading it and Youtube deleted all the ones I could find so finally I get to watch the video!! ^^ The song is not the best, but I love GD's part soooo much so it makes up for it, and Taeyang and DARA! look so awesome in the MV!!! XD Yes GD's part s the best, I have to go and replay it 100 times now ok? Bye!! P.S: A few weeks ago you wrote me a message right? Well I responded to it right away but you never replied back, I hope you still got my msg! Anyways, byee ^^

Answer 8

You don't have to take science on "faith". That's what differs it from religion. As a matter of fact it is very healthy to be skeptical of scientific claims. Fortunately science works with things like "fact", "logic", "proof", so you can always check those claims for yourself.
But just saying "I'm too stupid and illiterate to understand uranium-lead dating, so it must be wrong" doesn't really disprove anything.

Answer 9

The way I see it, how could an earth so intricately designed be created out of nothing? There had to have been a Creator with a plan.

Answer 10

The method of dating any event that long ago is based on the doppler effect. Do your own research as to what that is.
