Jolly Roger wrote:The Big Bang, like evolution, is a theory. As such, it has not been proven. Since I know very little about the Big Bang, I looked around on the Internet for about 5 minutes and found that "scientists" call the following "evidence" of the Big Bang:
1 Variation of T CMB with redshift.
2 Existence of the blackbody CMB
3 Radio Source and Quasar Counts vs. flux
Truman - since you probably know off the top of your head, could you please explain what these things are and why they are bollocks?
Of course.
Cosmic Microwave Background radiation: exactly what I was expecting as evidence. I'll go over both one and two since they cover a broad, but same subject.
There is a miniscule amount of heat radiating throughout outer space. It comes commonly from every direction and is believed that it is the same everywhere else in the universe. But, this is an exeedingly tiny amount of "heat," and is only a little less than 30 degrees Celsius above absolute zero. This radiation is only a
microwave kind of "heat," but there isn't much "heat" in it at all. The temperature of background radiation comes out as being -2700 degrees Celsius.
The problem? Background radiation comes from every direction, but the Big Bang theory demands that it come from only one direction: from where the supposed explosion took place.
I leave this subject alone now with a quote from evolutionary physicist Hannes Alfven and Professor Asoka Mendis from the UCSD.
"The observed cosmic microwave background radiation, which has a high degree of spatial isotropy . . is generally claimed to be the strongest piece of evidence in support of hot big bang cosmologies by its proponents.. [But] The claim that this radiation lends strong support to hot big bang cosmologies is without foundation." (1)
As for the "blackbody" radiation, here's something I found long ago:
"Cosmologists would like to believe that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic, that it is relatively smooth over-all and the same in all directions . . Our evidence for isotropy [a single-direction radiation source] is the microwave radio radiation, the so-called 3K black-body that pervades space and seems to be a relic of the very beginning of time. It used to seem to be the same in all directions.
"Not any more. Five or six years ago we began to hear of a possible dipole anisotropy [two-directional source]. Then at the beginning of 1980 came hints of a quadruple anisotropy.. A quadruple anisotropy [radiation coming at us from four directions, each at right angles to the other] has to belong to the substance of the radiation of the universe itself." (2)
Quasars are against the redshift theory, expecially the "speedshift" theory which I wrote discussed already in another website:
"Most everyone knows that relatively white light can be split by a triangular prism of glass into all the colors of the rainbow. Using a spectrometer, this can be done to starlight. Dark, upright bands mark the spectrum at diverse points. Examining these dark bands, the type of elements in each star can be identified. Spectral type is a star's classification-- based on its spectrum, surface temperature, and mass. A spectrogram is a photograph of a star's spectrum.
Ultraviolet is on one end of a spectrum and has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength than visible blue light (violet). Infrared is the other end of the visible spectrum (red; used in redshift theory). Every star is redshifted to some degree (or in another way of explaining, the entire spectrum of that star is shifted towards the red end). The farther a star or galaxy is from us, the more its light is shifted. Thus, we have the 'redshift.' However, this is not accurate because the astronomer is still not really accurate by measuring the color of a star a long way off, just because its color changes when farther away.
The evolutionist claim of the Big Bang is very faulty, and goes against many laws of physics, but the evolutionists try and back up the claim with the concept of redshift theory. They say that this redshift shows that the universe is expanding outward from the source of the Big Bang explosion. They base this on the thinking that the 'speed theory' of the redshift is the only cause of the redshift (notice the word 'only'). This means that if light is traveling toward us, the wavelength is shortened a little. This would cause the light to be 'blueshifted' (shifted toward the ultraviolet, which is purple in the spectrum). If it is moving away from us, the wavelength is stretched, which causes a redshift.
But we have six serious problems with this theory.
1. Nearly all the stars and galaxies are redshifted. If the speed theory is accepted as the cause of this (remember that word 'only'), nearly all the universe is moving away from our planet. A true expanding universe theory would mean that everything was moving outward from a common center somewhere else, not from our planet. If this was true we would be experiencing some serious turbulence down here on earth from all the comets and things coming toward us and hitting us. If there was a Big Bang, we could locate its origin by measuring redshifts. But yet, we only find evidence that every thing in space is redshifted; everything is moving away from earth.
2. The closest stars and galaxies to earth are the least redshifted, and some of the closest stars are actually moving toward our planet. Even so, they still seem redshifted. Why?
3. There is evidence that light particles slow down.
4. The discovery of quasars in 1962 strongly disproved the speed theory of redshift. Quasars are unknown objects which show rigorously shifted spectrums toward infrared. But if the speed theory is accepted as the cause of those shifts, they would be at impossibly great distances from us. Some have redshifts of 200% and 300%, which would equal distances up to 12,000,000,000 light-years and retreating speeds surpassing 90% the speed of light.
When this was learned of, many evolutionary astronomers renounced the speed theory. Then came the discovery of quasars with even higher redshifts: 300% to 400%. In the end, observers found three quasars which, according to the speed theory, are moving faster than the speed of light. One of these is eight times faster than the speed of light. The evolutionists tried to save their theory by recalculating the the formula for the speed of light. But they were, and still are unable to change it. Now they're really in trouble.
5. According to Einstein and many other scientists today, light can be pulled by gravity because it has weight. Because of this, it can be pulled by matter and can push matter. Because light has weight, stars it passes pull on it, slightly redshifting it. Even Asimov said light has weight, and he's evolutionist!
'If a set of fine scales is arranged so that one scale is kept dark, and light is allowed to fall on the other, the lighted scale will sink slowly. Light has 'weight.' The pressure of light on the Earth's surface is calculated as two pounds per square mile [90 kg per 2.6 km2].' (3)
6. No one has ever observed a blue-shifted stellar light spectrum. If the speed theory is the only cause of redshifts, every star in the universe is moving away from earth. Why?"
Now, I believe I must answer the "mightyal" who might not be so "mighty" after I answer his extremely dense comment that he just made. Al, you said,
"I believe that we have dealt with your life cannot come from non-life gibberish already.
Matter is not conserved in nuclear reactions.
On a sub-nuclear level, particles are continually popping into and out of existence. Nature abhors a vaccuum."
*sigh* Evolutionists. They don't know how much they twist science, do they Jay?
Well, I guess I'll have to explain to him about the big bang, which I also posted the same message in another website already. Read it and weep, Al.
"The Big Bang is the most widely accepted, and yet the most impossible concept in all of evolutionary thinking! Many evolutionists say, 'The Big Bang isn't part of evolution, for it was not a part of the process for making life. Evolution is this process.' And yet, it was the cause of it! Also amazing is the fact that there is a property of evolution known as 'cosmic evolution.' They put the subject of the Big Bang into this category. Pretty strange how they wouldn't call it a part of evolution.
I'll give a little history on the subject and then explain how it really cannot happen in actual reality.
The regular theory accepted today about the Big Bang is that nothing exploded. There are many claims that something did explode, but let's go by this idea. It is more widely accepted than the theory of something exploded, because the something had to come into existance somehow, and they haven't been able to explain that yet, except through philosophy (not science). M-theory is based upon this idea that the superstrings made a closed brane of gravitational forces, and collided with another one of these. Now, I wonder why they did this, and who in their right minds would call this science. It's imagination. If the 'M' is left alone in 'M-Theory,' it stands for 'mystery,' or 'mysic,' since there are still many properties explained by it, as in, how did these gravitational forces decide to pack up and collide, and how can nothing explode? It may be gravity, but....I'll explain.
George Gamow, a well known evolutionist, coined the name 'Big Bang,' and made the idea really sell through the cartoons he drew concerning the details.
According to this theory, in the beginning, there was no matter, just nothingness. Then this nothingness to condense, by gravity, into a single, tiny spot; and decided to explode!
That explosion produced protons, neutrons, and electrons which shot outward at incredible speed throughout empty space: there was no other matter in the universe.
As these protons, neutrons, and electrons hurled themselves outward at extreme speeds, they are said to have formed themselves into typical atom structures of orbiting hydrogen and helium atoms.
Over time, the outward-racing atoms are said to have started to circle each other, creating gas clouds which then pushed together into stars.
These first stars only contained lighter elements (hydrogen and helium).
Then, all of those stars repeatedly exploded. It took at least two explosions of each star to produce our heavier elements. Gamow, a well known evolutionist of the past, described it in 'scientific' terms. And yet, in violation of physical law, emptiness fled from the vacuum of space, and rushed into a superdense core, that had an extreme amount of density, and a temperature in excess of 1,039 degrees absolute. That's a lot of nothing getting hot!
Where did this extraordinarily dense core come from? Gamow sadly came up with a scientific answer for this: it came as a result of 'the big squeeze,' when the emptiness made up its mind to crowd together. Then, with true scientific assurance, he named it 'ylem.' Many thought the theory to be 'scientific' since it had a scientific-sounding name. So then, Gamow added numbers to produce an additional scientific gift: it was 100,000,000,000,000 times the density of water!
Then, it all exploded. Does this sound like science? Why do they call it science?
1. Nothingness cannot pack together. Gravity would have no way to push nothing into a pile.
2. A vacuum has no density. It is said that the nothingness got very dense, and therefore exploded. But a total vacuum is the opposite of total density.
3. There was no fire, and no match. It couldn't be a chemical explosion, for no chemicals existed, and it could not be an atomic explosion, because atoms didn't exist either.
4. How can you expand what isn't there? Even if that magic vacuum could somehow be pulled together by gravity, what would then cause that big, giant pile of nothing to push outward? The 'gravity' that brought it together would keep it from expanding.
5. The intense heat caused by the exploding emptiness is said to have changed the emptiness into protons, neutrons, and electrons. Let's get a few things straight here: first, an empty vacuum in the extreme cold of outer space cannot get hot by itself. Secondly, an empty void cannot magically change itself into matter, and thirdly, there can be no heat without an energy source. Where did the energy come from? You have to have energy to make something move.
6. Too perfect an explosion would have to be required. On many points, the theoretical math calculations needed to turn a Big Bang into stars and our planet cannot be worked out. Scientists call them 'too perfect.' The theory is next to impossible. The limits for success are simply too tiny, and nothingness can't explode anyway.
R. H. Dicke, an evolutionist astronomer, says,
'If the fireball had expanded only .1 percent faster, the present rate of expansion would have been 3 x 103 times as great. Had the initial expansion rate been 0.1 percent less, the Universe would have expanded to only 3 x 10-6 of its present radius before collapsing. At this maximum radius the density of ordinary matter would have been 10-12 grm/m3, over 1016 times as great as the present mass density. No stars could have formed in such a Universe, for it would not have existed long enough to form stars.' (4)
7. Roger L. St. Peter, another evolutionist, in 1974 developed a complicated mathematical equation that showed that the speculated Big Bang could not have exploded outward into hydrogen and helium. In reality, St. Peter says the imaginary explosion would fall back on itself and make an imaginary black hole.
8. Another big problem with this little theory is that there is not enough antimatter in the universe. The original Big Bang would have produced equal amounts of positive matter, and negative matter (which is antimatter). But only small amounts of antimatter exist. Even Isaac Asimov and Victor Weisskopf admit this problem. There should be as much antimatter as matter, but there is not.
9. A well known fact to physicists is that as soon as positive matter and negative matter are produced in the laboratory, they instantly come together and annihilate one another; another problem."
Oh, and one more thing Al. Your bogus "science study" has led you nowhere when you consider that Jay's statement is correct. According to the First Law of Thermodynamics, matter and energy cannot be created, nor destroyed.
You see boys and girls, nothing exploded, and here we are!

Who can ask for anything more, right?
I think I'm done here. Continue, Jay.
