Matter and energy can be past-eternal

In which sense precisely "is the big bang" a singularity?


Don't be silly and stop simply restating that "scientific evidence points to a cosmic beginning" and be more concrete.

Do you not know what a singularity is?

The big bang is a point of infinite mass, heat, and space-time curvature. It's a singularity.

"At this time, the Big Bang, all the matter in the universe, would have been on top of itself. The density would have been infinite. It would have been what is called, a singularity. At a singularity, all the laws of physics would have broken down. This means that the state of the universe, after the Big Bang, will not depend on anything that may have happened before, because the deterministic laws that govern the universe will break down in the Big Bang. The universe will evolve from the Big Bang, completely independently of what it was like before. Even the amount of matter in the universe, can be different to what it was before the Big Bang, as the Law of Conservation of Matter, will break down at the Big Bang." -- Stephen Hawking

In other words, you don't know what you're talking about. You're another know-nothing pseudo-intellectual. And what do you mean stop saying scientific evidence points to a cosmic beginning? You obviously don't read scientific literature. You didn't even know what a singularity is; and you thought the big bang being a singularity contradicts the statement that the big bang breaks down in terms of classic physics.

A classic example (my bolded) of everything you're saying bouncing off him and sticking to you like glue.
