re: Do you accept the notion of the Big Bang as the origin of our universe?

I guess if you define "religious people" so narrowly as to exclude brilliant scientists, physicists, philosophers, etc who understand spheres of inquiry--again a straw man tactic--then you have a point. A weak and meaningless one.

I didn't realized anyone observed the Big Bang.

No, because what was there before? Nothing?
Possibly. Spacetime is all one thing. The "space" part of it began at the Big Bang so it’s reasonable to assume the "time" part did also.

A milisecond after a small one in the Hadron Collider.

This shite confuses me

But if the two points are on one side and the other, how are they getting further apart if not moving into something that isn’t the universe?

WHAT THE frick CAME BEFORE THE BIG BANG, HOW DID IT EVEN START? WHERE DID THE MATERIAL COME FROM?
sorry for the caps

We’ve got a picture of it
Cosmic microwave background
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is electromagnetic radiation left over from an early stage of the universe in Big Bang cosmology. In older literature, the CMB is also variously known as cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) or "relic radiation". The CMB is a faint cosmic background radiation filling all space that is an important source of data on the early universe because it is the oldest electromagnetic radiation in the universe, dating to the epoch of recombination. With a traditional optical telescope, the space between stars and galaxies (the background) is completely dark. However, a sufficiently sensitive radio telescope shows a faint background noise, or glow, almost isotropic, that is not associated with any star, galaxy, or other object. This glow is strongest in the microwave region of the radio spectrum. The accidental discovery of the CMB in 1964 by American radio astronomers Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson[1][2] was the culmination of work initiated in the 1940s, and earned the discoverers the 1978 Nobel Prize in Physics.

There isn’t going to be a Big Crunch/Bounce though because our universe is not only expanding outwards, it’s accelerating.
Your own link seems to argue otherwise.
quote:
since the nature of the dark energy that is postulated to drive the acceleration is unknown, it is still possible (though not observationally supported as of today) that it might eventually reverse its developmental path and cause a collapse

Stay out of this. Intelligent people are talking.
We'll discuss the merits of your magic man when we're done.

Caps don’t bother me.
I think it’s all infinite.
Never began, never will end. Doesn’t have an outside edge.

No one knows what’s outside the observable universe.

Until they come up with a better explanation. You got another idea of how it happened?

Not really. It says it’s possible but not observationally supported.

To me, the stuff on the outside IS STILL the universe.

Yeah, you should look into how that picture was put together.
