What makes People SAY & THINK there is a beginning to LIGHT?

Question

Just because it is taught, certainly doesn't mean it is true. Can a Human brain not conceive that light can't possibly have a beginning. The truth is right in front of all of us. Light certainly doesn't need a human voice. Its already here there and everywhere. How can it be precluded? WHAT, could preclude it?

Answer 1

I think this depends on what you mean by light.

Here are some things that produce light. A light bulb, the Sun, a hot oven, and a fire.

Most people think that light is "created" by the sun, meaning that matter within the Sun is converted into light.

I somewhat agree with you, since I believe that all things are made of energy, which in one specific form is light.

Answer 2

What is truth? You say one thing, but quite frankly give no reason why any of us should regard it as anything more than nonsense.

That light has a beginning has been determined by science. Now, it is crucial to understand that science is *NOT* a belief system. Rather, it is a METHOD of both discovering AND CONFIRMING knowledge of the world around us.

We can create light by exciting the valence electrons on atoms to a higher energy state; when the electrons fall back down to their previous state, the difference of energy is given off in the form of protons--light. This is how a laser works, or a flashlight.

To the extent that we can know anything to be true or not, what we can most rely on being true is that which we can confirm through logic, evidence, and observation, and for which no better explanation exists. This is the essence of science. Science's job is to separate the wheat from the chaff in knowledge, to separate what we can rely on as being true from whatever else we can imagine but not verify.
