science can not explain the big bang? Quantum mechanics predicts an infinite series, but General relativity predicts a beginning, but yet both seem to be true.

hey, i can say the same thing, Science CAN explain God. I don't mind if your atheists, but please, stop trying to sound like you know the answers to everything

Kharm, that could very well be true, but general relativity says no

Is this another straw man question?

I have no idea if anything you say is remotely factual because I'm not a scientist. But it sounds as if you're saying that because science cannot explain something, we must be wrong about everything else.

One does not follow the other.

CORRECTION: Atheism is nothing more than not believing in god. Period. It has nothing to do with empires like Justin said. I think he's actually defining logic or something.

Firstly science does not explain creation. Science explains evolution, and therefore leads us to the inescapable conclusion that creation (as far as life on this planet is concerned) is a myth.

Secondly, with regards to the creation of the Universe. Science has not confirmed with 100% certainty that the Big Bang is what caused everything, that's true. But at least the Big Bang theory is a concept to which science can be applied, unlike any myth that believers cling onto.

Any stories conjured up by Creationists completely fall apart at the seams the moment one looks at the first book of the Bible. God created light and dark on the first day. Four days later he created the Sun and the Moon. How could there have been light and dark before there were any sources for the aforementioned light and dark?

Genesis is littered with ludicrous inconsistencies of this type, but I'll leave it there for now.

Consider this. The Big Bang theory was first introduced by a catholic priest in the early 20th century to prove once and for all that the idea that some external force outside of the universe created the universe. The creation of everything from almost nothing, something only God could do. The Theory was rejected by the scientific community at first but then revisited once the German scientist re-adapted the concept to his own version.

Atheism is the belief that empiricism is the best way to seek knowledge and that anything that cannot be emperically demonstrated (like religion) should not be accepted.

Of course, there are two main problems with this. First, atheists accept the existence of all sorts of things that have never been observed emperically like black holes, quantum singularities (upon which many of the laws of physics are based), dark matter (which by definition cannot be observed) and so forth.

The other main problem is that many religious people claim to have experiences that demonstrate the accuracy of their religious beliefs. Scientists have rejected these claims out of hand, saying they cannot be replicated and observed by others, but for the people who have these experiences, they cannot be denied, and these experiences compel the religious adherent to feel a moral obligation to act on the evidence they have recieved.

In terms of science not having proved the big bang yet, it's important to realize that all scientific discoveries are forever tentative. That is to say, every one of them are subject to corrections and revisions, based on any new evidence that might come up.

So when the idea comes up that the big bang theory hasn't been proven yet, those who don't believe in it say, "that's proof that it's false," and many atheists say, "but I'm sure we'll find better evidence for it some time."

The important thing to remember is that you can't base your decisions on what may or may not prove to be true at some point in the future. By that logic anything could be proven true...or false.

We don't know the answers to everything; only idiots say things like that. We never said we had all the answers, just that ours made sense and had proof.

And why can't each time the series starts over be a new beginning? How do we know there aren't mulitple Big Bangs?

Religion insists that the existence of a god is real and that all the events, everything in the bible is true, makes claim that god wrote it, accuses people of breaking laws and threatens people if they don't believe. Science admits that it is theory subject to change, people can see the evidence and judge for themselves, the bible puts forth no evidence it just commands people to follow it

Wait, you're claiming "god did it" is a few style of clarification? How humorous. As on your further information: "the 4 humours" become under no circumstances a medical concept -- it become, in actuality, a superstitious theory from believers in gods until eventually now technological awareness got here alongside, which technological awareness later confirmed to be fake. comparable is going for a flat earth (which comes out of your bible). comparable is going for heliocentrism (which comes out of your bible) Newtonian physics isn't incorrect -- it in basic terms wasn't finished. standard relativity further to it, whether it is not finished the two. And quantum physics isn't incorrect, it is the working kind of all physics in the present day. isn't it fresh that for the duration of the quest for extremely understanding, technological awareness can admit whilst it is been incorrect and, according to new info or extra effective understanding, save recuperating? does no longer or no longer it is fresh if religions ever admitted they have been incorrect, in view that all of them have ideals that are *shown* incorrect? with the help of how, each and every faith is "refuted" with the help of default -- in view that there is not any info helping their claims approximately supernatural gods. Now bypass get some education. Peace.

The Big Bang has been explained. It was BIG and it went BANG!!!!

Actually the Universe did not start with an explosion, The name Big Bang is very misleading. It was more like a quick emergence.

Because there is often far more to truth than a very simplistic explanation.

Science often does not actually find the "truth", in the same way that one piece of a jigsaw puzzle does not show the whole picture.

Science CAN explain the Big Bang. Maybe not right now... but eventually.
