Big Bang questions?

Question

How do you explain the big big bang? I see this question a lot in forums such as this. I'll say this much:

Any explanation you have ever heard of the big bang theory has been dumbed down considerably so that it could be communicated to a lay audience. That said, if the big bang doesn't make sense to you, remember that you're not getting the full story. Unfortunately, to really understand what scientists are talking about, you would need to learn graduate level physics and mathematics, at the very least.

The bottom line: don't be overly critical of a topic you know next to nothing about.

In answer to the annoying quip, "Hey, that's not a question":

what, am I the first person in the whole world to post a statement instead of a question? Is your whole world going to come tumbling down because I don't follow the stupid yahoo guidelines?

"Anything that man was involved in, take with a grain of salt."

Am I the only one who sees the irony in that statement?

If anyone has a non-religious reason for distrusting the big bang theory, I'm all ears. Simply saying that it is lame, however, is not exactly what I would call a thoughtful criticism.

Answer 1

big bang is when I hit my head
OUCH
that was a big bang

Answer 2

Im not a scientist, but the interesting theories that scientist offer even if their almost right or totally wrong means one good thing.
There getting close to figuring out some pretty heavy answers about the universe.
I understand the big bang started as a
dense mass and exploded about 20 million years ago and the particals are constantly
epanding.
Heres a simple theory that may prove the
theory wrong.
If everything is expanding in one direction
right from one place.
Why does Haileys comet keep coming around every 75 years?

Answer 3

You don't need a degree to know enough quantum mechanics and have a decent enough understanding of singularities to get the gist of the big bang theory. Universities don't educate people. People educate people. The secret is not to give in to credentialism, and to learn how to learn. After that it's just a matter of being motivated enough to get out there and learn.

Answer 4

"The bottom line: don't be overly critical of a topic you know next to nothing about."

The following example is a single situation which reflects a paradigm with which I have dealt repeatedly;

Yesterday an Atheist told me to tell him what my religion is and he would tell me how it is a way to control people. He criticized my religion while not only knowing nothing about it, but not even knowing what it is.

So threw him a bone, told him what my religion is. Since I knew he would play hell trying to find anything about my religion written I gave him a few details that illustrate the fact that my religion is one of freedom and is wholly inadequate for enslaving people. Of course the first article that shows up on a google search about it is on Wikipedia (which I wrote).

He responded saying; “I admit it will take me longer but I’ll have something for you soon.”

So the Atheist who knows nothing about my religion, criticized it before he even knew what it is and still knows almost nothing about the theology involved, is going to tell me what my religion is all about. How does that make sense? How is that RATIONAL?

I’ve even had Atheists try to tell me that I believe my religion is right and that other religions are wrong. However that is simply not the case. We believe our religion is right for *US*, and that other religions may be right for other people. But did he take my word on it? Of course he didn’t. If he did he would have to admit that he knows far less about religion than he pretends to know.

The real bottom line is that when it comes to religion, social studies, politics, anthropology, history etc … intelligent and HONEST, educated people seek to FIND the truth/facts not to PROVE their belief or lack thereof in any subject.

Atheists in general need to start holding themselves to the same standards they place on theists.

PS
I believe in the big bang. It’s not an issue for me. What is the issue is who or what made it go bang to begin with.

Answer 5

robert: Your dogma is based solely, on a THEORY. The Big Bang is just that - a theory. It is based on probability - not absolutely. The "full story" will only be available when all factual knowledge is in. The real question is this. Does Science currently possess the full knowledge to derive this as fact - no they do not ! A good rule of thumb is this. Anything that man is involved in - take it with a grain of salt.

Answer 6

I agree with you pal.

They don't have a minute knowledge of basic facts and mechanism of Universe and they come out asking,

"if there was no matter, where did all things blow up?" kind of questions.

And what's more is, that they actually don't want to "learn" and they give bad name to some people in their own community/religion who atleast know a little more than they do.

Answer 7

God created this cosmos & has given the manual for that.Big Bang is not at all correct.An imperfect person with imperfect sences cannot think perfect & give perfect thearies.God is perfect & has given the theory on that,why that we should creat another theory on that again,its like reinventing the wheel,its already their,need not to waste our valuable efforts.All the details of this creation is available in the vedic scripturs.

Answer 8

Well, there may have been a "big bang", but not the kind you're talking about. When God said "Let there be light" It may have made a big banging sound when it appeared. Scientists have been wrong about so many things I don't know how they even passed their physics classes! I think they need to go back to school. Better yet, they need to go to church. Maybe if they're lucky, they'll get hit in the head with a Bible and it'll knock some sense into them!

Answer 9

wait are you even asking a question. not that im arguing but you need to find a question and answer it if you want to say that.

i just dont like it when people post a statement instead of a question. this site is not made for debates, it is made for Q&A. you want a debate go look at the premature ellection campaings


And i do believe in the big bang if you were wondering why i bugged ya. i happen to follow the lesser known idea that is still that small singularity but that changes in the propertys of that singularty have caused the time to move around it to expand. of coarse its a moot point anyway. srry to waist your time.

Answer 10

For the VAST majority of the public, cosmology is not their forte (knowledge of it) I find it extremely interesting and thought provoking, but I didn't take physics and trigonometry is the highest math I use on a daily basis.

Answer 11

Big Bang theory is false and lame.
