The top scientific theory regarding the beginning of the universe is the Big Bang, a term first used by Fred Hoyle in 1950. In this theory, the universe began 13.7 billion years ago. It started as a single point, smaller than an atomic nucleus, with an infinitely high temperature and an infinite density.

a single point...


That is a common misconception. The Theory does not actually state this.

fine, but what does that have to do with anything. The big bang theory is still going with a known fact of the universe

Maybe, probably not. At least completely not as any 'human' definitions as we understand it.

I don't understand what you're trying to say.
Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.

The point is that it's difficult to define where it came from, as according to the current model, space didn't exist before the Big Bang and consequently neither did points in space.

:palm:

It came before the laws. The laws of physics came after the Big Bang moment (t=0) itself.

There are many problems with this theory. And the theory itself still does not answer many important questions - Such as where did all the matter in the universe come from?

If all the matter in the universe was compressed into a small dot, what caused this to happen? Where did gravity come from that held it together?

If this "dot" spun rapidly until it exploded., then where did the energy come from to start the spinning?

Also, in an environment without friction you would have this spinning dot going so fast it would then explode. If this happened, then all of the particles and matter being expelled from this "spinning dot" would all have to spin in the same direction as the dot they exploded from.

This is a known law of science, which those who believe in Evolution cannot do away with. It is known as the Conservation of angular momentum.


This matter which is said to have created the planets would all need to spin in the same direction as the object it came from.



So therefore, all of the planets should be spinning in the same direction.

However two of them are not. Venus and Uranus spin backwards.



Some planets even have moons that not only spin backwards, but travel backward around their planets.



The Big Bang theory also ignores the First law of Thermodynamics, which says:
"matter cannot be created or destroyed"

Those who believe in the Big Bang theory are also either unaware of, or ignore the "Second Law of Thermodynamics" which says:
"Everything tends towards disorder"

So rather than the chaos (big bang) becoming ordered (our universe), just the opposite would be true.. And it is. Our complex universe is wearing down, and becoming more chaotic...

Paul was aware of this when he wrote his letter to the Hebrews:
Everything ".. waxes old like a garment" (quoted in both Psalm 102:25-27, and also Hebrews 1:10-12).

"This verse "anticipates the famous second law of thermodynamics, or law of entropy, indicating that everything in the physical universe is growing old and wearing out. God created everything in the beginning, winding it up like a great clock, so to speak. Because of sin and the curse, however, it has been running down and "perishing" ever since. Jesus also said: "Heaven and earth shall pass away" (literally, "are passing away") (Matthew 24:35)" - Waxing Old, like a Garment by Henry Morris, Ph.D.


Things wear down. Nothing gets better by itself.

If I told you that thousands of pieces of timber were set in motion by a tornado in a lumberyard and this ultimately resulted in the amazing design and complexity of the house you live in, you would think this was absurd to say the very least.



Yet in essence this is what the Big Bang theory teaches.

Now I know that anyone with kids might say that a tornado ripped through their room - but the tornado did not create their room. It only created the mess that is throughout the room. Will the mess ever get cleaned up? Yes, but it will not cleaned up by itself.

Even if millions of years of tornados did somehow randomly land in a complex pattern thus assembling your room, this would still not explain where the trees came from that were made into the lumber.

It would not explain who planted, or cut the trees, or even how the trees grew.

You see, such theories do not give an absolute answer of truth. They only serve to cause people to become distracted and lose sight of the larger picture of the Creator and who God is. Satan is a master of deception and distraction. He wants you to lose sight of Christ, and focus on impossible things.

look back one thread your entire post is a copy of a post one page back that was trounced the very same page.

Right. That's how I understand it. I suppose there's just no word to decribe the pre-universal nothingness.

no, like angular momentum. If the big bang (what? point, blob, cloud) thing was spinning when it exploded, than everything should be spinning in the same direction, which they are not. Plus, matter should be evenly distributed throughout the universe, which it is not.

No, because gravity pulls them together. Watch a nebula for a few million years.

I think that I should point out at this time that the Big Bang does not concern itself with the actual origin of the universe, just the early development of it. And why should matter be evenly distributed?

As far as my knowledge, it kinda wasn't spinning.

No, because gravity (of larger mass objects) pulled matter together.

if this was true than all the planets would still be turning the same direction



oh, and to the other guy

according to the laws of psychics that matter should have been evenly distributed throughout space as their is not yet any resistance to slow it down.

they ARE all turning in the same direction.
some spin in the wrong direction which can be done with one rouge asteroid.

no because even distribution is inherently unstable in a universe with gravity, and inherently unlikely in a universe that obeys probability.
random =/= even.
