Heated debate on evolution with brother

RE: Heated debate on evolution with brother
The Cambrian 'Explosion' took about 20 million years to finish exploding.

Guys, What took "longer"? The Cambrian Explosion or the Big Bang?

Do we include syndication?

The big bang is still happening. At an ever accelerating rate.

It's true. When scientists talk about the big bang, they usually mean a whole range of very early times in the universe, not some singular initial point which arguably never occurred anyway, for which we have no reliable theory or much in the way of data, and which is more like a mathematical reference point than a real beginning. Which times you still include in the "big bang" is not really strictly defined. For example, Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, the creation of the first primordial chemical elements, takes place over the course of minutes. I think most would agree that once recombination happened and atoms were formed, the big bang as such is over, but that's 400 000 years after the mathematical singularity!

It should have been called The Great Expansion.

Almost as great as the latest Age of Empires 2 one.

In fact, creationists' strawman confusion of the "initial singularity" and the Big Bang theory closely mirrors their confusion of Abiognenesis with the Theory of Evolution. For bonus points, they then conflate Big Bang theory and Evolution, and what you get is the famous uninformed hot mess that is the creationist effort to attack fundamental science Smile

No, man... they're just way ahead of you!
Biological evolution uses biology.
Biology is just a branch of chemistry.
Chemistry is just a branch of physics.
And the big bang is described with physics, too.
So it's all physics.

Now combine it properly!

Yeah it was called the big bang n a kind of mockingly "What so everything just exploded out of nothing?" kind of way.... just like creationists retards are all like "What so you think we're all the products of chance?"

If not The Great Expansion how about The Ginormous Inflation?
