You want me to search for you? You don't want to look through this pile of mockery that you turned this thread into?
Gary wrote: and where's the proof of this alleged "big bang"? YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN IT! not that i don't think the "big bang" happened, you just take that it happened "by faith". also, since I know that time is a dimension(a measurement of spatial extent), i know that causality based on time is an illusion, therefore,"began with big bang" and "seven days" are really non-sequitors anyway.

Can you see that? Is it big enough for you to see and read it?
Doofus!

Sorry, GaryB saying the Big Bang is unobservable does not equate to him thinking "it's logical to expect someone to send probes 14 billions years into the past to test if the Big Bang was real? "

No matter how many times you repeat it, no matter how many insults you hurl.

"Doofus!"
I knew that link would come in handy.

I don't think it is logical to expect to see it. Do you mean that GaryB (or Stardust, whichever you prefer) claimed to expect to see it?

GaryB said that it was nothing we can ever observe directly, yes he did. In fact our science theories in a lot of areas of cosmology are far from complete, to the point where scientists like Stephen Hawking are still making major revisions to their ideas about it. You are bandying about this science like it is something you are very knowledgeable about (you think it 'disproves' God haha), when you obviously have watched some TV programs and read a few internet articles about it. That's all.

Can you tell us how you know how I spend my free time? Can you see what I am doing now? Are you a clairvoyant or something?

If someone raises the question of not seeing the Big Bang that happened 14 billions years ago implies a fundamental ingnorance about the whole theory.

And "ha ha ha" is not proof of god's existence.

If someone points out that the big bang can never be observed directly, and indeed the science about it is young and will likely be revised, possibly even in major ways ----> this means they are fundamentally ignorant about it? Riiight.

And "ha ha ha" is not proof of god's existence.
No one said it was. You are LYING when you say (repeatedly) that I am a devout churchgoer, are you going to lie and say I claim to prove god's existence too?


Insults! Come on! I want 4 syllable words now, I found you that link after all.

No, that's not ignorant, that's retarded.

You simply prove my claims that you don't know much about science, Bingo. You're not a bad insulter, but pretty crappy scientist. You are not interested in communicating or learning, simply spewing your extremist hatred, over and over.

Retarded only has 3 syllables, btw. But thanks for trying.

You don't offer anything worthwhile learning (you're too ignorant to have something to teach) besides your skewed oppinions which you must admit I had listened to patiently.
Besides that, I'm not interested in learning how to be arrogant, mocking, deceiving, unreasonable, irrational and delusional bible thumper.

Yeah, as always, look in the mirror. You don't know squat about science, you are not here to learn or communicate, just spew your extremist hatred towards everyone who isn't an atheist. In essence, you actually said that :

If someone points out that the big bang can never be observed directly, and indeed the science about it is young and will likely be revised, possibly even in major ways ----> this means they are 'not just fundamentally ignorant' but 'retarded'.


"bible thumper."
Yawn. #8. No matter how many times you repeat that lie, it's still a lie.

And I'm STILL waiting for a 4 syllable insult. You've been calling everyone those old insults, and I for one am getting bored with them.

Oh come now, if I say, "what color is the sky" and you say "blue" , it is not a lie to say that you said "the sky is blue". Or is it? I can see how you would want to divert from the real meaning of things by little word games.

If you want to say "no I said 'blue'" fine, play with your technicalities all you want. That you essentially said "stating the big bang can't be observed is retarded", is not deniable. Even if you put your quotes in big font and all upper case.

You have all of these covered already (you're just as blinkered as a bible thumper thumping on your atheists' bible ;) )

But most of these people are not even saying the bible is true, only that there is a god so they already threw more than half of their religion down the toilet.

page 47...from 5 june up to now.
what are the plans actually?
it has to stop once, as that's the nature of the reality we live in.

the biggest problem in this thread is that it doesn't escalate enough, you're too soft guys :-D
you could agree to stop at the very moment someone reaches page 50.
to avoid unfair tricks, quoting then is not allowed anymore from page 49 on.
would this help?

Dont give up, make a fool out of you with every new unsolicited hateful post, try harder to do so.
You need it the hard way.....ok.
It is your choice.

My recomendation still is:
Try some real world experience, meet ant talk to real human beings and go beyond your coward spamming of the off topic section of a music gear forum.

Thank you for politely asking for it.
I am willing to help you to get out of your 'black and white' extremes.
Certainly I know this is a big challenge for your little ego, but excuse me, I am sure it will be a good intellectual exercise and learning for you.

Gary did already a good job showing your science abuse.
What remains IMHO is:

1.) Big Bang theory is descriptive only at least when it comes to the Planck era, beacuse there is no math approach to correctly model the singularity.
2.) All serious scientist know that and have no problem with that, because that is normal for the scientific approach: to strive for improvements, knowing that a theory is a theory.
3.) Big Bang theory has its known limits: As a hint to you, since you seem to be a seriously interested adept, I am talking about the dark matter/dark energy complex and the genesis of large scale structures in the universe like the 'great wall'.
4.) There are no probes (empiric physical ones) that allow any conclusion about the planck era (staying in the context of today's physics of the standard model). Even if the TOE (maybe based on the current candidates String theory, M-Theory or Quantum loop theory) would be able to unify gravitaion with the other 3 forces and in general GTR with Quantum theory, we scientists do not have a gravitation probe into planck era, due to the practical limits of our technology.
5.) There are no probes at all to hop outside this universe (uni-verse) and look from outside and especially before the start of spacetime after (after !!) planck era.
You are still there Clown ? That means you and we dont know nothing about before the assumed singularity.
And a scientist does not even have a philosophical problem with the limitations of its theory before and after, because he knows his limits.
I am not even touching the questions of who and why ? Do you notice that ?

Conclusion (not exegesis):
Science (here cosmology) is not black and white (deterministic, materialistic) as you and your atheist cretins want to abuse it.
It just tells you what is empirically accessible and it knows its limits:
- the epistemologic ones, that you guys ignore constantly
- the existing flaws of the theories like Big Bang theory
- the transition between physics and meta-physics

break - here we get into a philosophical dispute beyond science.

And now you loosers come in and write nonsense about why science is the ultimate proof for the presumptuous superiority of atheism. :lol:
We had that before. There is no proof of atheism and there is no for theism by science ( argumentum ad ignorantiam )
Why ?
Because per definition this kind of philosophical discussion is not about empiric research, but exegesis of phenomenons. In best case it is about Meta-physics, and in the case of atheism a one dimensional anti-position to the theistic pole.

Stop spoiling science with your presumptuousness, learn modesty, logic and manners and if you really are interested physics.
Note points 4 and 5 :lol:
I'm really interested in your physics... :lol:

And man, you're wrong again, we have "gravitation" probes to test the Big Bang:

If it is fake then what is the point of it? Why don't you clarify it for me.

Brain, get over that ol'man in the sky picture you latch onto.

It has been said several times that bible is not a history book, is not to be taken literally and has an old testament and a new one, which have a different message.

Maybe you love to match with the disney christians cause you love their simple pictures, maybe that is what you meet in the US predominantly, I dont know.

But this is not tthe thing religion is about. And I know that you know that, but unfortunately you cannot reach those things with your bickering on ol'men in the skies.

he didn't say it's fake, he said there is diversity in the way christians experience their belief, and therefor asked you to step away from the ultimate stereotypes :-)
