Do you believe in the Big Bang Theory?

So do you? A Christian priest made up the theory just to let you know.

yes yes I do.

Even if a god did create the world teh big bang theroy still makes sense.mattykovax

Why, yes, I do. It makes sense, and there's some evidence for it around.

It makes more sense than some other things. And who cares if a priest thought it up. Even if a god did create the world teh big bang theroy still makes sense.mattykovax

It makes the most sense out of all the theories out there.

His profesion doesnt matter, just that he can back up his theory with evidence.

And yes because he has the most evidence

Why does it matter if a Christian preist made up the theory? There is a lot of evidence that shows the Big Bang did in fact occur. Believe it or not some scientists who believe in religion can soemtimes be right.

honestly it sounds as crazy as a single sentient superpower controlling us. Its fun to philosophize about, sure, but when people start believing absolutely in it thats bad. No one knows, after all.

I am perfectly content not knowing why we are here; I just want to have fun with my life.

I pretty much agree with this statement.

I don't really care to know how it all got started. We're here now, might as well make the best of it.

I believe in the Big Bang theory as it is presented in the Discworld novels.

A'Tuin was crawling from the Birthplace to the Time of Mating, as were all the stars in the sky which were, obviously, also carried by giant turtles. When they arrived they would briefly and passionately mate, for the first and only time, and from that fiery union new turtles would be born to carry a new pattern of worlds.

I believe it more or less.

i don't really care.....:|

It sounds kind of... stupid.

It's harder to believe a big explosion made multiple beings perfectly compatible with one another, able to reproduce, and an enviroment by which they could survive in the best possible way, than it is to believe that a big man in the sky that we can't see made everything with his infinite knowledge. I don't agree with everything in the Christian religion, like going to church and baptism and confirmation into a church, but I certainly believe that God made everything.clash76-grunger

Really? I find both equally ridiculous. Thank goodness there's God and the Big Bang, 'cuz the two things you mentioned were utter nonsense.

It only sounds crazy to those who are unaware of the evidence in its favor. It's not as if some guy was just like "oh I got an idea what if there was a big bang" and then science signed off on that. The expansion ofcelestial bodies away from a pointand the existence of cosmic microwave background radiation are both phenomenally strong pieces of evidence in favor of the idea that the big bang happened.

Nope. It's from Assassin's Creed 2.

Yes, absolutely.

mayforcebeyou

He didn't "make up" the theory he proposed a hypothesis based on a lot of evidence. Also intelligent people don't "believe" in theories they just agree with the presented evidence until there's evidence that proves it wrong. A theory is an idea of a probable cause of events, to believe is to have firm conviction.

Personally I don't like the big bang theory, nor darwin's evolutionary theory, but they are theories w/ the best evidence.

yes, but it is still a theory.

I admit "crazy" was too strong a word. What I meant to say is no one 100% sure, and all we have are ideas, concepts, and theories grounded by reality yet proven by nothing.

I mean, c'mon, its called the big bang but was the size of a grapefruit at the start! Whats the deal with that! :P

Also I am still waiting for the Trafalmadorians to show up and blow up the universe...again

The term 'Big Bang' was coined by religious believers attempting to make fun of the theory.

BumFluff122

No it wasn't, or the term wouldn't be the name of the theory.

And it was atheists that mocked the idea of the Big Bang originally, because they viewed it as a religious ploy.

The statement, "even if that was true," heavily implies that the subject is not true.

Don't be so vague.
