According to the famous creationist scientist Em Adjineri, if the Big Bang never happened then evolution is false, and it's obvious that the big bang never happened.

Evolutionarians believe that the entire universe came from a giant explosion, which somehow eventually produced life. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!

We've all seen explosions in the movies and one thing is obvious. Explosions do not create things, they destroy them. So how could an explosion have created the universe if explosions destroy things?

How do the Big Bang-loutionarians explain the fact that the universe isn't shaped like a giant mushroom cloud? The Big Bang must have been a much more powerful than a nuclear explosion, which produces a mushroom cloud. Therefore, the Big Bang should have produced a universe in the shape of a giant mushroom cloud.

All these "facts" prove that the Big Bang never happened so evolution must be false. How do you explain this, evolutioholics?

Everyone mocking my reference to the creation scientist should read her name out loud.

Because my science text book is heavier than your Bible! That's why!

Clearly science is supperior, based on weight and resale value alone!

I googled Em Adjineri and found that as a result of an additional bazillion dollar study grant from the Department of Defense he/she determined there may have been a Big Bang after all, which would support either the creation or the evolution theories since neither theory relies solely on the Big Bang as the initiation of the events resulting in the formation of the universe. Mr./Ms. Adjineri further explains that a big explosion occuring high in the air or out in the vacuum of space produces a spherical fragment pattern not a mushroom cloud. Thus, if a Big Bang explosion in the vacuum of space were the cause of the formation of the universe then the universe would have a spherical shape, which, of course, it does.

Mr./Ms. Adjineri apologized for any harm or misunderstanding that his/her original statements about this subject may have caused and hopes that we can all just get along because, in the end, it doesn't really matter how we got here, but what we do with the time we have while we are here.

Okay, let's break this question down into two separate parts.

Cosmic radiation gives us ample evidence for the Big Bang.
"In the hot Big Bang Theory, the observable universe began with an instantaneously expanding point, about 12 to 15 billion years ago. Since then, the universe has continued to expand, gradually increasing the distance between our Galaxy and external galaxies. The expansion of the universe "stretches" light rays converting blue light into red light and red light into infrared light. Thus, distant galaxies, which are rapidly moving away from us, appear redder. "

Please present an alternate theory to explain this redshift if you believe the Big Bang theory is untrue. The Hubble Law is currently accepted in the field of cosmology. However, if an alternate theory were to be presented, and it was falsifiable, it would also be considered and tested. By the way, the Big Bang Theory does not mean there is no creator. It is perfectly compatible with Christianity.

The mushroom cloud you see after a nuclear explosion is caused by debris from the earth being sucked into the air from the powerful currents caused by detonation in the air. Basically, the debris fills in the gaps left by the fireball of gas that rises into the sky. The Big Bang was in empty space. It was not a bomb detonating over the earth. While the two are somewhat similar because they are both powerful events, you're just comparing apples to oranges.

Now, let's discuss evolution. Fossil crania give us evidence for the evolution of man. Paleoanthropologists study bones, fossils, and tools, from our earliest ancestors to better understand our origins. Human evolution is a very slow process that could best be described like a tree. A common ancestor is the trunk and the variations are branches and limbs. I have linked some sources for you to read and see the science behind these theories.

Evolution has nothing to do with the Big Bang. However the universe came into existence, Big Bang or otherwise, Biological evolution didn't begin until several BILLION years later, because BIOLOGICAL evolution is ongoing change in LIVING things, and there were no living organisms for billions of years after the universe came into existence.

As for explosions not creating anything, a basic demonstration done in science classes is ... mix oxygen with hydrogen, creating an explosive mixture ... add an electric spark ... BANG!!!!!!! ... there is an EXPLOSION ... and water is created. An explosion is a chemical reaction, and something is always created in a chemical reaction.

Incidentally, a nuclear explosion on the surface of the earth causes a mushroom cloud; but nuclear explosion in space doesn't. An explosion in space results in matter being propelled into space on every possible direction, that cloud of matter expanding over time - just like the universe is doing!

I know I'm going to regret making the effort to answer this question.

How the universe began ('Big Bang' or not) is NOT a part of evolution, or even connected to it. That is a common mistake that evolution deniers make.

The shape of a mushroom cloud is related to an explosion that against the gravity of a much larger object, like the Earth if it was a nuclear bomb. In zero gravity (like space) there would be no specific shape.

Whether the BB happened or not the Universe is slowly expanding outwards, suggesting it was once much more condensed. There is also residual heat coming from somewhere, which is another pointer towards an explosion.

'Creation scientists' tend to start with a viewpoint and look for evidence to back it up, rejecting that which does not back it up. This is backwards science and should not be called science at all.

Your question looks like you never studied science nor read a legitimate science book on either evolution nor the Big Bang Theory. The two theories are not dependent on each other. If the Big Bang theory were to be proven false it would not falsify evolutionary theory. I am not sure where you get the idea that it would. Evolutionary theory doesn't have anything to do with how life first arose it only explains what has happened since it did. Evolution is considered as near fact as gravity now the only "theory" part is exactly how species have evolved and by what mechanisms. The Big Bang theory remains the most widely accepted theory of the origin of the universe by scientists working in the field. Your arguments and logic are weak and fallacious.


=)Oops you got me!! Good one! I am so relieved though to know that you don't think like this. Unfortunately, there are enough out here that do that its easy to be fooled. Love your questions and the way you do them.

Well first off they have absolutely nothing to do with each other. So even if we forgot all about the several hundred predictions that have been fulfilled by the Big Bang Theory, that is zero evidence against evolution.

And mushroom clouds are created by the force of the explosion bouncing off the ground and the atmosphere. Neither were present around the singularity.

I really hope this is satire, because it has my vote for the most mis-informed question of the day.

Excellent try, but the Big Bang and evolution are two completely different games. The disproving of one has absolutely zero effect on the other. For the sake of argument, I'll say fine, the Big Bang never occurred. Explain to me then how the fact that the universe didn't come from a massive explosion proves that life didn't grow and adapt and evolve?

By the way, why is all matter in the universe moving away from a single point of origin?

The Big Bang created the universe...not life. There is no such thing as Evolutionarians. It's not a religion...but a scientific fact. Evolution is the process in which life developed and changed and different species appeared and even went extinct over time. The "mushroom cloud" dissipated and became large clouds of debris and dust. You must be joking. I will assume that you are.

Wow..where do I start?
Evolutionism has nothing to do with Big Bang theory. Nothing. If the universe started in some other fashion, evolution could still take place.

Explosions scatter things...which is the theory behind the big bang.

Are you actually being serious on the mushroom cloud thing? Mushroom clouds are formed because of gravity and become there's a really big object blocking the explosion on one direction (i.e. the ground)

You can't discredit a theory without learning at least the basics behind it.

Whos to say the big bang isn't the "Let there be light" of the bible? Mushroom clouds are a result of a nuclear explosion occuring in an atmosphere and under the gravity of the planet. Explosions behave completly different in outer space. Do you really presume to know the "shape" of the universe?
