Quote:The Big Bang model of the universe's birth is the most widely accepted model that has ever been conceived for the scientific origin of everything. No other model can predict as much with as high accuracy as the Big Bang model can.
A common question that people ask is "What happened before the Big Bang?" The phrase "in the beginning" is used here to refer to the birth of our universe with the Big Bang. In the creation of the universe, everything was compressed into an infinitesimally small point in which all physical laws that we know of do not apply. No information from any "previous" stuff could have remained intact. Therefore, for all intents and purposes, the Big Bang is considered the beginning of everything, for we can never know if there was anything before it.
Now the theory may be right or wrong but far from proposing that everything came from "nothing" it suggests that EVERYTHING was compressed into a single point.
For examples of some stupid fucking "god" poofing everything into existence from "NOTHING" we have to turn to religion.....and I leave that to ignorant jesus-freaks.
Erm, isn't that an inaccurate description of Big Bang cosmology? We don't know what happened at the Big Bang; we only know what happened one planck-second after it. The "infinitesimally small point" stuff is just to make the math work out; I don't think we can even know what the actual state of nature was, given the Heisenberg uncertainty principle (hence the planck-second).
“The truth of our faith becomes a matter of ridicule among the infidels if any Catholic, not gifted with the necessary scientific learning, presents as dogma what scientific scrutiny shows to be false.”
