Science/Technology › What Triggered The Big Bang? by taurus25(op): 8:21pm On May 25, 2016 |
In the beginning, there was a question mark. All else followed. The end.
We've all heard of the Big Bang theory (I'm talking about the cosmological model, not the TV show), but it's important to understand what that theory is and what it's not. Let me take this opportunity to be precisely, abundantly, emphatically, ridiculously, fantastically clear: The Big Bang theory is not a theory of the creation of the universe. Full stop. Done. Call it. Burn that sentence into your brain. Say it before you go to sleep, and first thing when you wake up.
The Big Bang theory is a model of the history of the universe , tracing the evolution of the cosmos to its very earliest moments. And that's it. Don't try to stuff anything else into that framework. Just stop. You can keep your meta safely away from my physics, thank you very much.
I'm emphasizing this because there is a lot of confusion from all sides, and it's best to keep it simple. The Big Bang theory is a scientific model, just like any other scientific model. We believe the theory is on the right track because it's — gasp — supported by extensive evidence.
You don't have to take my word for it. Since the idea was first cooked up, the Big Bang theory has survived decades of scientists fighting, scratching, backstabbing, criticizing, undermining, bickering, arguing and even name-calling, all in an attempt to crush their rivals and prove that their pet alternatives were superior. Why? Because whoever takes down a major scientific paradigm gets a free trip to Stockholm.
And at the end of it all, there's the evidence. You know, the actual universe that we're trying to understand. Any new observation is the scientific Thunderdome; two theories may enter, but only one can leave. And what was left after decades of evidence? Here's a hint: It's big.to be continued....... source: http://www.space.com/31192-what-triggered-the-big-bang.html |

Peritus: Just look around you and think. The weather, seasons, rain, plant growth, sun, stars, life etc couldn't have happened by chance. Consider this: every organ of your body has a distinct work. Your heart, your liver, kidney, veins, arteries, etc all work together as a perfect system. This couldn't have been a result of evolution. The world is too perfect to have just happened without a master planner. So because of your confussion about existence you imagine a creator, give him attributes and begin to worship him?. If you dont understand how everything came to be, it means you just dont know. Doesnt prove god in any way |

johnydon22: You have never seen an external picture of the milky way
This is embarrassing, we have not and cannot yet take picture of the Milky way from outside.
The Milky galaxy is way too big, man have not achieved inter galactic travel yet so can not take a picture of what the Milky way galaxy looks like from the outside.
All the pictures of the Milky way you see are actually that of Other galaxies speculated to look similar to the Milky way or CGI artist impressions using available data and facts.
The only actual images of the milky galaxy you must have seen are that of the Milky way band taken from earth, only showing a mesh of clustered light running through the sky.

Weah96: He never calls out the name of his fake god. He simply hides behind the general terminology which has multiple meanings. Meanwhile, his god is the one who sponsored the Bible. Lol.
In one thread, he will tell you how he believes his fake god is real by faith. In another, he's asking someone to disprove that same god that he only believes by faith . thank you.......some times when people say theists are illogical and dumb they take it as if atheists are just arrogant or insultive. How the hell does the bolded make any sense to them  |

KingEbukaNaija: I warned you not to assert that God is not involved . God ordered man to study , God desired the progress of man in every area of his life . Lol . The bible guys invented - houses , weapons of war , musical instruments , agricultural practices , clothes , arts , laws , war tactics etc - of which you have known if you actually studied the bible is this not just ridiculous....is it in anyway meaningful or logical to disprove something that havent been proven in the first place? is it right for me to say "turning off a tv is another chanel"? |

KingEbukaNaija: Forget the jokes as far as you have accepted that there is indeed a creator then My work is done here - I don't actually care whom you think it is sha .  yeah forget the joke , grasp the point, which is something might have caused the universe, energy maybe, a multiverse maybe, a toothfairy, god, many other possibilities. But if your certain its god, then i need proof (lol im tired of using this line honestly) |

KingEbukaNaija: Now you get it . It's foolish talk to say God - a creator - does not exist just like that . It's foolish talk to insist that America's president is not Obama and the first moon travel was fake .
A creator ,different concepts .  whoa.. slow down dude......There is a man which we all have seen who bears the title of the president of the US....he sits in the oval office and attends all international summits as the leader of the US...his name is obama.....As far as a person being the president of a country is concerned i can safely say obama is the president of the US. Research data on the moon landing has been compiled and published and peer reviewed and the generally scientific community know it wasnt/cant be faked..thats why to date no notable opposition from the science world to the moon landing. But, god being the creator of the universe remains an assumption. see the difference? |

KingEbukaNaija: There is proof quite alright but not that proof you are looking for - seeing is believing . So a creator does exist but you need proof that it does - interesting . see yourself, trying to tilt the tide in your favor......i didnt say a creator did exist(at least the one religionists wrship) , because i simply dont know or care. ...But when you say space and time was initiated by this creator which you worship..i simply ask you to prove your claim. you get it now? |
Christianity Etc › Re: Here To Engage Theist God Especially Kingebukasblog by taurus25(m): 10:32pm On May 20, 2016 |
KingEbukaNaija: Because you have not found a cogent proof according to your elusive standards of logic therefore no creator exists ? And I thought common sense was common  oh logic ...why have you eluded this gentleman... see.......im looking for a cogent proof so i wont assume... right?. Unless you can prove to me that god isnt an assumption, i simply cant believe. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Here To Engage Theist God Especially Kingebukasblog by taurus25(m): 10:19pm On May 20, 2016 |
KingEbukaNaija: And what is more logical is that a designer does not exist , as far as it has a beginning I think it should require a cause . Are there uncaused existences you know about ? non existence of a creator is the standpoint of an atheist because so far so good NO PROOF! of any kind.....hence it is more reasonable seek answers to our begining than to assume. random evens are not uncaused; they are just the result of causes that we don't know. For something like coin flipping or the number a roulette ball lands on, the result depends on many, many causes. It doesn't matter that you can't measure all the causes and sum their effects. It doesn't even matter if you can't even list all the causes. As Perzoo Frou said, science makes progress by finding the causes of things that we can't explain. |

KingEbukaNaija: A moral guide elicits the kind of behavior you put out . God is a moral law giver - the laws guide you and keep you in the right path . The proof of this is why by instinct you feel bad when you do show some depravities like stealing , lying etc . a combination of neurotransmitters, hormones like oxytoxin, dopamine etc controlls my emotions and empathy which might make me feel bad when i do something bad and not any deity kingebukanaija: Take a good look at consensual pre-marital sex , why is it wrong ? It's simple , because a guide has revealed that it isn't right . You need to get married to have sex - that's a quintessence of what a moral guide does for you . consensual pre-marital sex is wrong to you!.....maybe because of your society or your beliefs but theres nothing immoral about it....especially in the modern world |

Bamidelefundz: Correct man. Still no prove( I don't claim to have a prove for anything, but stop proving something you don't know or witnessed to be fact. Simple yes bro thats the problem...for example a scientist would say they know about the begining of the universe(with facts) , a religionist would say they are wrong, provide no facts and claim a deity made the universe and tell you to believe it with faith...now an atheist is like a judge here a middleman who operates with what is more reasonable and logical....simple! |
Christianity Etc › Re: Here To Engage Theist God Especially Kingebukasblog by taurus25(m): 9:39pm On May 20, 2016 |
KingEbukaNaija: It's not a claim it's common sense . An eternal conscious creator made the universe. Religion has just brought different concepts of this creator and it has been used as a tool to inveigle the ignorant so as to be subjected to control . There are people who have found God without religion .
Religion just made the whole thing look 'spri spri ' that's why you have ignorantly rejected God . you see!....At the bolded is just an assumption you cooked up in your head or youve been told to believe!....still not tangible...still no proof! |
Christianity Etc › Re: Here To Engage Theist God Especially Kingebukasblog by taurus25(m): 9:19pm On May 20, 2016 |
KingEbukaNaija: So the possibility of an eternal conscious creator has been ruled out . Wonderful! hell no....not atall........thats why when you claim you know of one we ask for proofs and not the other way around |
Christianity Etc › Re: Here To Engage Theist God Especially Kingebukasblog by taurus25(m): 9:09pm On May 20, 2016 |
KingEbukaNaija: Lol , that is your belief and I respect that . Well the universe making itself from nothing seems like a rational belief to you ? its more like the universe coming in being in a way we totally havent figured yet |

KingEbukaNaija: You are bored , play this game . Replace 'Buddha' with your Nairaland username in his post and tell me how compelling it was to question the existence of an eternal creator .
it's fun right ? naah.....i dont think his post is about the existence of a creator... .i think he's coming from a why not budha but jesus angle. And hence my reply. If you want to properly grasp what i was saying do this: I believe that you have faith that jesus or christain god is the true creator. correct?....so with any compelling evidence whatsoever you have try convincing an extremist muslim that the quran is wrong. Goodluck if you leave with your head on your shoulders.....maybe then you'd get wat i mean  |
