Since cosmology no longer quite holds with the Big Bang hypothesis but rather the inflationary hypothesis...?

Question

Do you think we should cease using the term 'Big Bang' so that the fundies won't be able to perpetuate the myth of the exploding singularity since this has pretty much been nuked (infinities kept creeping up where infinities were invalid... inflationary theory solves that as well as addressing the prima causa scenario, the inflaton itself).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_inflation

The concept of the gravitational singularity causes the equations involved to throw significant errors. Understanding of the inflaton is that the universe coalesced and inflated as a quantum ripple on the inflaton itself, and not from a gravitational singularity, though because of the causal horizon (the inflationary era caused spacetime to expand faster than light-speed, forever severing causality internal to the universe from that external) the result would appear to many tests as though the gravitational singularity did exist.

Answer 1

That is too big of a concept ,typically, for Christians to fathom....
good luck though.

Answer 2

Sorry I could respond to your challenge to provide some logical proof (of God)in my previous question so I'll stick it here. Please read ALL or nothing. Thanks.

1. According to the Cell Theory, all existing cells must come from previous ones.That would mean life has been around forever. The Big Bang, on the contrary, contradicts science in that the Universe would foster no life until after the Big Bang (which miraculously, paved an environment perfectly suitable for life). Even so, there is a fraction of time (1/1^43 of a second) that is unaccounted for between the event that triggered the Big Bang. At this point, my guess is as good as yours! (logically for every action there is a reaction; so for every reaction there must've been an action, right?) In this context, it takes a LOT more faith in science than God.

2. Let's take one example. The perfect sequence of over more than 500 anti-codons matched with codons in RNA is less likely to occur naturally than 1/1^950. In science, anything less than 1/1^50 is virtually impossible. If you take that one unlikelihood and multiply it times a google that is the faith you put in science; science that will never be sufficient to explain something so overwhelmingly unlikely. God, on the other hand; no matter how much lack of evidence we have, it will never match the impossible likelihood of the Big Bang and all the coincidences of Mother Nature.

3. If you see a painting, you can logically deduce there must've been a creator. To claim science is the sole triggering event of this concise Universe would be a million times more illogical than saying that Van Gogh's accredited paintings were the result of Mother Nature. Now take the whole Universe, amplified in its complexity, and you'll realize there is no other explanation but to acknowledge a higher power or creator of this masterpiece. Whether the creator is seen or not is irrelevant; it's the product that testifies to the creator.

4. Albert Einstein, dubbed the smartest man ever, who made the greatest discoveries in the scientific fields was himself a firm believer in God AND science; and yes they can coincide to an extent, until we come to theories and the unknown. During his lifetime he searched for a universal equation. Essentially, he was looking for an Absolute Truth, answer.To me, God is the answer. I'm not claiming I know truth, just telling you where it can be found...and that's God. The world is the word, God is my dictionary, and the definition remains unknown :)

5. God has manifested His glory throughout this world and to overlook it would be arrogant and wrong. You can deny the truth as much as you want, but that doesn't change the fact that it exists.

Peace and blessings from a firm believer in God and science.

Answer 3

The big bang has not yet been abandoned primarily because there remains the problem of background radiation hypothesized to stem from the big bang. As I understand it, the inflationary hypothesis is assuming dark matter and dark energy's gravitational and repulsive forces that are insufficient to slow the universe's expansion. These are not fully understood, and I don't think astronomers are ready to toss out the big bang theory until further information has been assembled.

Answer 4

You forgot geology. at the same time as a volcano erupts, it truly is portion of evolution in accordance to the Creationists. There are all kinds of motives that Creationists do not keep on with medical definitions. the numerous reason is lack of know-how. maximum Creationists are ignorant because some misinform them persistently. The lies are promoted notably, when you consider that evolution can not be challenged on the grounds of truth. Evolution is so nicely elementary that the basically thanks to attack it really is to operate something a lot less confirmed and attack that. using the proxy aims is information that the Creationists can not use the information. the perfect rationalization for those attacks is that evolution counters the literal interpreting of Genesis, and accordingly the full the literal interpreting of the full Bible. If the Bible is interpreted, the parishioners, should be allowed to imagine, and the preachers' ability is eroded.

Answer 5

Actually, most evidence still supports the big bang very well - inflation doesn't necessarily rule out the big bang. Inflating from where? There must have been a beginning.

Edit: I read your link. It says right there that inflation goes along with the big bang. Perhaps you misunderstood it?

Answer 6

Impossible! Yesterday scientists told us the universe came about by a big bang and scientists are never wrong. Are you trying to undermine my faith? What if they come up with another theory tomorrow? (By the way, did they ever figure out what happened to that 60% of the universe they can't quite seem to locate?)

Answer 7

I don't use the term "Big Bang" anyway.

Answer 8

The big bang has been... "nuked"? I don't think I follow...

Answer 9

No, you can call God's handiwork by whatever name you want.
