Some of these aspects are mysteries or simply outside the boundary of the theory itself. Some can be explained by the theory of relativity which tells us that space doesnt remain static...it likely either expands or contracts. During the big bang, expansion won out over contraction but as far as I am aware there is no conclusive science on why. In other words, a singularity as described would have had just as much chance to collapse into itself like a black hole.

Worth noting too that our observations can't go back far enough to confirm that it was actually a singularity in the first place. It is a theory based on a whole lot of math, observable expansion rates, and relativity.

I hope it's at least 18, because humans have been fricking the shite out of it.

Congratulations, you're a good candidate to become a scientist! Asking questions like this that we don't yet know and searching for their answers is precisely their job.

This has always been my biggest point of contention with the Big Bang theory. I’m not saying it didn’t happen. It quite possibly could have. But even if it did, it falls short of explaining creation itself due to the fiact for the Big Bang to have happened at all something had to have already been in existence. Thus, the Big Bang cannot explain creation.

I think the big bang theory succeeds at telling us the origin of creation from one point in time and space to another in the sense that it isn't just matter and energy that expanded in our observations but space itself (trippy...)
I agree though that it doesn't answer the question of how something can come from nothing.

I don’t know. I still can’t see how they think the entirety of the universe, as collosal as it is, came from one single sub-atomic particle. The “stuff” that makes up all the galaxies, stars, planets, nebulas, and all the other “stuff” had to come into existence somehow. I just don’t see how it could all come from one sub-atomic particle, especially when you consider all the diverse matter we find in the universe.

Thousands. I think maybe about 10,000.

About 4.5 billion. If anyone says thousands, they're a moron.

It's the only thing that makes sense with the scientific data we have.

Yet, people are always happy to ignore the fact that something must’ve created “god”.

Finally a thread we can use to sort posters into religious nut jobs, high school dropouts and stupid science bitches.
