I just Asked a Question and got The Run around, So I ask again...?

Question

What created the Big Bang? What Created Bacteria? How do u know it was here forever? when did forever start and what created forever? And how do you know?
I'm simply asking a question.. U assumed I'm a Christian.. Leave God out of this Believers !!.. This is for the non believers: Just tell me if u know.... And Can u guys leave God outta ur remarks and just tell me? Please?

Answer 1

Well think about it this way my friend, When an atomic bomb explodes is all the fire and smoke and energy waves compressed inside and it just spreads out like cracking an egg? or does it react atomically with other elements to create the reaction? Atoms have the power to create. Different degrees of molecular energy create different things. I mean if you cut a peice of gold down to the smallest level what do you have? Gold? or what comprises gold? Energy in Atomic and molecular form creates what we know as gold. We as scientists don't know that it was here forever. We cannot rule out alot of things...like we cant rule out that we aren't inside some giant alien super computer. But we know, based on evidence that Every single religion in this world is man made. We know this because we study the books, we study the evidence you provide and we see tons of contradictions. Science doesn't pretend to know how it all started but we are searching for answers. Something most Religious people attempt to do..but how can you search if your only looking at 1 picture?

Answer 2

Well, breaking it down. We are composed of atoms, massive amounts of various atoms that are found throughout the universe. Life is an amazing thing, but is all physical interactions between these atoms. Virus are a weird thing that are not quite living but also not non-living. They have a protein coat and reproduce by injecting their DNA into a host cell and the host cell then produces the virus.

My point is that there is a way to contemplate the dawning of life, if you break it down the the smallest atom. As for the universe and the big bang, no one knows what and if something existed before that. We can't grasp it.

IT is the same with God. Who created God? What if the universe always existed? An infinite amount of time would allow for the possibility of life to form wouldn't it?

Just think of the possibility of you being born. All of those sperm cells and eggs, the perfect timing. Also, your grandparents, great grandparents, great great grand parents, etc. happening to get together at the right time to create the ladder. Seems impossible doesn't it? But you are here aren't you?

Answer 3

I don't know if the big bang, etc. was created in the first place. Do you? I don't know if bacteria was here forever. Do you?

If I don't know these things, does it make sense to assume some god must have done it? If so, who created god? How do you know if god was around forever? I'm also simply asking several questions.

Answer 4

150 years ago, we didn't know about bacteria. No clue. It wasn't understood until Louis Pasteur determined that germs caused disease.

You are asking the same questions that scientists ask. You have, however, asked this in the Religion & Spirituality section, where we are mostly liberal arts majors, not biologists or physicists. Would you come to R&S to find out what opus number was Mozart's 40th Symphony? I think not. You're asking us to play to our weakness. Quite frankly, you're being unfair.

So let me suggest two things:

1. If you are serious about wanting to know the current evidence-based understanding on the origins of the universe and on evolutionary theory, there are excellent descriptions found at http://www.talkorigins.org .

2. Consider that you are proposing (not so subtly) that anything that is not explained is a place for God to be discovered. This is commonly referred to in ontology as "the god of the gaps" theory. It typically assigns God to any blank space that science has not yet reached useful conclusions. Remember what I said about disease? Before bacteria were discovered, it was assumed God was punishing the ill, or that they were demon possessed, or some other supernatural phenomenon caused sickness. This is the same god of the gaps.

Science never assumes, and should never assume, anything is supernatural. The purpose of science is to discover through measured observation, testing, and repetition what natural causes lead to our natural world. If you impose a statement "God caused it," then this stops the search for knowledge, because God is ultimately unknowable. This is the reason that the "god of the gaps" theory is discounted among learned ontological academicians, and is ignored by science.

Answer 5

There is no conclusive answer for what/who the prime mover was, though God could very easily have triggered the Big Bang. As for abiogenesis, I think the current thought is that electricity produced by constant lightning strikes caused reactions to occur that eventually produced abiogenesis, forming the first single-celled organisms.

It's all very improbable, but over a period of time, I suppose it is possible. I am a Christian theistic evolutionist, and this seems to me to be the most probable answer: a God who designed evolution, etc., in order to produce life as we know it now. It matches up nicely with the Bible, though many Christians don't want to admit that.

I know you asked for no God in the answer, but I thought I'd give you both sides at once. It's better that way.

Answer 6

"Created" is the word people are hanging up on, as it implies a creator, which is begging the question.

Your questions are basically about the cause of the universe. But causality assumes time; something "before" something else. The emergence of the universe IS the emergence of space and time. Therefor, the idea of causality has no meaning until the Big Bang had already occurred. Therefor, your question does not have a proper subject, and is nonsense.

Answer 7

Pierre,
I'm a Christian, so Obviously I'm not the one you want answering this, but the current thinking among unbelieving "scientists" (so called) is that a cataclysmic accidental intersecting of dimensions resulted in a powerful explosion that today is referred to as the big bang.

I'm sure you know the prevailing theory from that point, that rudimentary hydrogen was created in the process and chemical "evolution" started from there.

As far a bacteria go, their explanation goes something like this: "Miller and Urey proved that amino acids can form in an entirely stochastic medium". The refutation, of course, is that both Miller and Urey (who worked independent of one another) both conducted their experiment using a reducing atmosphere (void of oxygen) under the assumption that oxygen didn't exist in the pre-life atmosphere. (And they knew that oxygen would prevent amino acids from forming).

The rationalle is that, like lead evolved chemically from hydrogen, bacteria would "evolve" from an amino acid.

Hey, it's a stretch, but it's all they got.

Answer 8

The universe was always here in some form. That is a guess. We don't know.

If you put any god or creator in there all you do is delay the question. Now you have to answer who created god and you end up with the same answer. You just added complexity with no evidence to. Look up Occam's Razor a simple logic principle and you will see why I can't make that jump.

Answer 9

... kerosine and a journey? perchance... if he's donning a lot of gel and crap in his hair... basically the journey. i don't get your perspective. do you p.c. him to be dissatisfied for ditching you and p.c. you back? if so, do you p.c. that given which you will flow out with him anyhow, or do you p.c. that so which you would be able to stand him up and attempt to make him sense harm such as you probably did? If it is the 1st, you have have been given some actual self well worth matters. If it is the 2nd, you're no longer likely to get him like he have been given you, and he won't sense the comparable way you probably did. he's on your head, you're no longer in his. except you're into being dealt with like that, i'd propose shifting on. THAT, maximum probable, gets him the worst, via fact it will prepare the huge undesirable senior that he wasn't that substantial a deal for you.

Answer 10

Coincidence.

for the first 2 questions..

Forever is forever. Because thats the definition of Forever
