Big Bang And Evolution Theory Are The Two Greatest Scam In Science by Gluthatione: 11:31pm On Apr 19, 2016 |
Big bang is the explosion leading to the formation of universe,that is the cosmic event that mark the beginning of time and rapid enpansion of space for the visible universe. Now this is the reason i will never believe in big bang theory 1 What causes the explosion in the first place & what formed it? 2 Why is it still expanding ? 3 Out of several trillions of planet in the universe why is it that life is thriving in just only one of them ? Even in our own galaxy there are 200-400 billions planets no evidence of life in them. 4 Now as complex as universe is,do you think it is possible for universe to have created itself and life randomly formed on earth as evolutionists claimed? Now lets talk about evolution which is the change in the genetic composition of a population over successive generations. Now the first protein which is building block of life how does it formed?(Abiogenesis).Don't tell me it formed by chance 'probabilistic calculations' because experimentally this is highly impossible. Great guys out there what do you say about this ,do you believe in evolution and big bang theory.What do you say about this? 2 Likes |

Yes, it's been awhile since one of you showed up. Op I have no motivation to argue with you, at least not until you learn what a theory is, and also do a little bit more comprehensive research on what you want to argue about because wherever you got your contact info from you obviously didn't understand it. 4 Likes |

Gluthatione: I am going to take you on o this, not because i think Big Bang or Evolution are absolute truths (I do not subscribe yet to any origin theory) but because i know this thread was inspired because of religious influence .. and to answer most of these questions in order to teach exactly what the thesis proposed. 3 Likes 2 Shares |
Re: Big Bang And Evolution Theory Are The Two Greatest Scam In Science by johnydon22(m): 10:24am On Apr 20, 2016 |
Gluthatione: Ok let us treat many of these misconceptions we have here.. But now you have to remember, science does not require belief because it is not a dogma. it is a systematic approach through consistent study to arrive at a truthful approximation but never claim at any point that absolute truth has been reached but recognizes chances of being wrong. that intellectual humility gives room for improvements and stands scientific method of enquiry out amongst others. So if the Big Bang or evolution theory is untrue whether you believe it or not won't make it true, if these models are proven beyond reasonable doubt and established as a known scientific fact, you need not believe it because it doesn't change if it's true. That being said, i'll address these points not to make you believe them but to teach what they really are.
Now the first answer to this was outrightly given in the Big Bang cosmological model which is known as a singularity .. A very small almost atomic sized but infinite dense and hot point. And by the way the Big bang wasn't an explosion but more so a rapid inflation what brought about the singularity is a subject of immense study of which string theory intends to answer soon. there are many prospects to the answer one should bear in mind. -Dark matter -Quantum fluctuation (which still happen till today in this universe)
Dark energy is causing the inflation
Now this i must say is rather disappointing. . . We do not even have the technology it takes to probe planets within our own solar system for signs of life. Up till today man has recently launched a probe for the purpose of probing traces of organic compounds and life or mars which has not even reached the planet yet. there are 8planets and 5mini planets and more than a 100 moons just in our solar system and we don't even have the technology to check them for life yet and you are talking about our galaxy and the universe? The nearest star system to us the alpha centauri is 4light years away, which means 9trillion km multiplied by 4.. our present technology (fastest space probe we have) will take more than 160,000 years to reach it, so how can you possibly check if it has life? we cannot even reach the closest star system to us not to talk of billions of stars and planets in our galaxy let alone more than 200,000,000,000 galaxies in the observable universe. so how can you ask 'why life only thrives on 1 when you have never reached or possess the technology that can check the others? we are tiny creatures, the universe is very big we have not even probed for life in the nearby planets and moons inside this solar system talk more of checking other star systems let alone dreaming of ever leaving this galaxy of 100,000 light years diameter. this question was rather disappointing... We have no idea where there is life or not because we still are not advanced enough to possess technologies that can travel outside our system.. earth is just a tiny rock out of billions of trillion others ...so don't hold your breathe on that The universe itself is random and chaotic, there is complexity in every interaction. as long as two values interact to give a result, it will be more complex than the original interacting values. The universe is not planned neither does it have a schedule, galaxies slam into galaxies, planets into planets and even stars into one another, asteroids can crash down on earth and our galaxy is even on a collision course with Andromeda. the universe is complex from interactions of different values but random in it's manifestations.
The bolded words are starkly ignorant, stop making confident assertions without looking hard enough. even though research about how life began on earth is still going on as we speak, protein molecules has been created in the laboratory by recreating the early stage of earth and a meteor impact. One of these is the Miller-Urey experiment a chemical experiment that simulated earth's early conditions and surprisingly complex amino acids were formed in the experiment. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller–Urey_experiment also many discovered in meteorites Like Murchison Meteorite This meteorite, that fell near Murchison, Australia on 28 September 1969, turned out to contain a variety of organic molecules including: purines and pyrimidines polyols — compounds with hydroxyl groups on a backbone of 3 to 6 carbons such as glycerol and glyceric acid . Sugars are polyols. the amino acids listed in this table. The amino acids and their relative proportions were quite similar to the products formed in Miller's experiments. also The ALH84001 meteorite. Astronomers, using infrared spectroscopy, have identified a variety of organic molecules in interstellar space, including methane (CH 4 ), methanol (CH 3OH), formaldehyde (HCHO), cyanoacetylene (HC 3N) (which in spark-discharge experiments is a precursor to the pyrimidine cytosine). polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as well as such inorganic building blocks as carbon dioxide (CO 2), carbon monoxide (CO), ammonia (NH 3), hydrogen sulfide (H 2S), and hydrogen cyanide (HCN). and yes through random meteor showers that bombarded the earth in it's early state, complex proteins compounds can also arrive as i have shown with instances of such meteors discovered in this present age Please please that you never knew amino acids have been recreated in the lab or can be recreated should not have given you the alacrity to infer they are impossible to recreate. I am sure i have corrected that naive impression. We are still studying grasp well enough the origins of life, and this noble acts of study has not claimed perfection yet but progresses has been made in this sense. and with time our questions will definitely get answered through consistent study...
What i say is that humanity is on a quest to answer many questions that plagues us, and the only way we can do this is through careful study, consistent and empirical scrutinization in order to arrive at a truthful approximation.. The Big bang model has many cosmological observations pointing towards it. -Cosmic mircowave background radiation - Big Bang Nucleosynthesis -Expansion.. And many others. Same holds true for many evidences pointing towards evolution but we must not claim absolute truth has been reached, further studies may prove us very wrong. which is why i do not subscribe to any theory on the origin of the universe or life yet, i do not see the need to dogmatize it rather i see need to keep an open mind to push for more critical studies so we can reach a near truth. I hope this helps your enquiry 7 Likes 4 Shares |

Gluthatione:-1 the thing don swell reach na. What formed it is something science still can't give convincing explanations to. It's where science and religion conflict. -2 there's a logical explanation for that. Not really a question -3 who told u that? Man has this notion of we can't see or hear it, it me and it doesn't exisT. For the fact we haven't dodiscovered it yet doesn't mean it doesnt exist. It's humans that need oxygen to survive. 4- hmm. The theory of evolution is one big scam I'd agree with u and it's riddled with many flaws. We still have to learn those stuffs in school anyway. 1 Like |

Gluthatione:Hello Gluthatione, My post mean no offense, but to address the issues you raised objectively. Without even adressing your questions, it is imperative for you to note that the fact that a scientific theory or fact raises (more or other) questions does not invalidate. Actually, most scientific laws, theories and breakthrough raise more questions than they answer. This is so because no Scientific theory is all encompassing, and they always raise new questions and fields of research. This is no argument to claim their invalidity. Science is a work in Progress. As for your questions, most are actually not valid questions but rather misconceptions. For instance. Gluthatione:Big Bang is not an explosion in the first place. What caused the Big bang? We don't know yet. Is that a reason to say it is wrong? Do you mean if you don't know what created a hole on the road, it means the hole does not exist? 2 Why is it still expanding ? Because there is no force to stop the expansion. Basic law in physics: a moving Body continues to move, until a forces stops its movement. a Static Body does not move, until a force sets it in motion. 3 - Out of several trillions of planet in the universe why is it that life is thriving in just only one of them ? Even in our own galaxy there are 200-400 billions planets no evidence of life in them. Who told you there is no life in any of them? Absence of evidence is no evidence of absence. What do you call life? Must extra terrestrial life be similar to earthly life? Do you have an idea how aliens may be constituted? What organs they may have? and How to detect them? 4-Now as complex as universe is,do you think it is possible for universe to have created itself and life randomly formed on earth as evolutionists claimed? Who said the universe has created itself? Big bang theory and Science does not address the question, who created what. That is a spiritual and religious concern. Science wants to know how it happened. And as of now, Big Bang theory and evolution theory are the best all encompassing description of the formation of the universe and life on earth, backed by facts and evidence. Even you TV set can capture the sound of the Big bang. Gluthatione:Before I forget, I'm not a great guy. Greetings. 4 Likes |

@op johnydon and loj have provided you sufficient answers but let me add this most of the reasons you provided up there as to why the bigbang theory is a fraud is not what the theory adresses before going further, in nature some things are facts, take gravity for example, its a fact that something causes objects been thrown up into the air to be attracted back to the earth, sir issac newton observed this and came up with his explanations in which he thought gravity was a force....his explanations made sense and was accepted in the scientific community. Fast foward a couple decades later einstein came up his explanation that gravity was as a result of distortion in space time, his explanations made more sense and was accepted in the scientific community......during this newton to einstein era did apples stop falling down?..gravity was a fact! now are there some facts which the big band tries to address?? ofcourse there are.....expansion of the universe is a fact.....leftover light of the big bang(CMB) is a fact..there are many others also scientists are planning a search for the gravitational wave background of the big bang, if found would be another ++ for the theory The theory doesnt adress the cause of the inflation but how every thing we know to exist came to be dont think science to be a religous book which claims to have all the answers..its a work in progess, theres a lot to uncover about life and the universe 2 Likes 2 Shares |

johnydon22:I had not read your post before answering. If not I would have refrained from posting. I think you did a better job explaining to him those issues. However if I may add on this sentence for the sake of the readers, Inasmuch as Evolution Theory has grey areas where it needs to be perfected, Evolution, natural selection, among others are scientific facts that have been observed and that are reproducible. So yes, in the future there might be greater understanding, new theories, but in no way Evolution as a fact can be disputed. Greetings to you dear Johnydon22. |

SirWere:Thank you for your answer. I believe in nothing (religiously speaking). I only follow my experiences and come to my own conclusions. I went from the simple fact that, if there is God, he must have provided a simple and universal way to relate to him. To cut a long story short, my experiences proved and still prove to me, that there is God. It can be defined as God, energy, higher being, or whatever suits anyone.

You stated it categorically that u do not subscribe to any of these theories yet, I also like that because some people can believe anything without even thinking about it.

johnydon22:No 2 question .u said dark energy is what is still causing d inflation.Pls can u shield more light about dark energy, dark matter and even blackholes. Since u didn't subscribe to any of these theories, what's ur stand then, are u a theist,an antheist, agnostics or free thinkers? note this :With d recent technology it will take 30 000 years to reach alpha centuari not 160000 years as u stated above.

As a christian I believe that the universe was created by God, But I cannot presume to have the definitive knowledge of how He accomplished this great and complex work. We will spend an eternity searching for answers, as we succeed even more questions will be uncovered in our previous answers. That is why Solomon in the bible book of Ecclesiastes 3:11 said this: "He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end." The problem with many christians is that they imagine that God just blew some fairy dust to bring forth the universe, I find that notion ridiculous. Advancing scientific knowledge is not anti-God, an obstinate desire to wallow in ignorance is anti-God to me. 1 Like |

Gluthatione:Dark energy is what scientists usually call the energy of nothingness.. it is an unknown energy but mostly makes up the entire cosmos. it provides a negative pressure and this negative pressure accelerates the universe.. More the fabric of space/time itself and as LoJ pointed out there is nothing to stop it .. First law of motion: A body at rest will always be at rest unless acted upon by another force same goes for a body in motion ..
I am an agnostic atheist that recognizes Science as the most reliable way and the best chance we have at ascertaining what is what about the cosmos.. here is my reason for not subscribing to any origin model yet as i stated above i do not see the need to dogmatize it rather i see need to keep an open mind to push for more critical studies so we can reach a near truth.
Apparently we were wrong as it would take just 100years with current propulsion tech https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Longshot yeah the nano crafts propelled with laser beams seems efficient and fast enough..

johnydon22: Hi Johnydon, i wasnt going to say anything on this thread because the OP lack some basic understanding about the scientific method, and great response by the way, but this part of your post got me thinking...so i wanna ask you, what do you define as absolute truth? and what makes you think that science doesnt have an open mind towards Evolution? and also, if every single evidence that has been found points to Evolution, doesnt that mean Evolution is the closest to absolute truth ![]() |
Re: Big Bang And Evolution Theory Are The Two Greatest Scam In Science by johnydon22(m): 10:06am On Apr 22, 2016 |
donnffd: Science does not aim at establishing immutable dogmas, the scientific method recognizes chances of being wrong and this doubt of self prompts unending studies which improves the quality of truth. Evolution is a universal Fact as every natural manifestations are always developing and evolving ranging from the stars to simple plants to the universe itself. But our understanding of this observed Facts is where out short comings are... Absolute truths entails that there is nothing more to be known about that particular enquiry as a precise truth has been reached therefore curtails need for more study since the knowledge is already perfected. This has never been the scientific method, it never at any point claims absolute truth has been achieved but recognizes chances of being wrong which fuels it's studies in development of the already approximated truths. Science is self correcting and this is why it remains the most reliable way of truthful deductions.. 3 Likes 4 Shares |

johnydon22: I don't argue with that, I am wondering why you wish to sit on the fence when it comes to Natural selection when we are closer than ever before...do you think there is any proof right now that would disprove the idea that the earth revolves around the sun?, would you say you won't subscribe to the idea until a better theory comes and disproves it?...please note I am not saying science is dogmatic, and anyone who understands the scientific method has to be open minded, but some aspects of science right now are so rock solid, that it would take a miracle to overturn them on their head.

donnffd: The bolded is very far from my points... I asserted above that Evolution is a fact of nature in the sense that everything in nature improves and modifies. Our understanding of evolution is what i am sceptic about and agree to it's limits ..e.g: Newtonian model of gravity dubbed gravity a force while Einstein corrected this notion. More discoveries may yet change or improve our idea of gravity. . . so i do not by anyway doubt Evolution understanding that nature is always evolving, Only our current understanding of prompts my sceptic position which might change with my further understanding or human general understanding of the evolutionary mechanism improves. 2 Likes 1 Share |
