The big bang theory and the other theory about life coming from outer space and dropping onto earth, are merely attempts to dodge around the questions of how matter was formed originally and how life started from inert matter.
BUMP!
Deo, I have greatly admired Wendy1946’s posts and comments here, and I asked her to ping me to things of interest to her. Obviously, she was asked to compile the list by more FReepers than just me, LOL!
This is a low-volume ping list, but worth the wait for what you get, IMO.
There are a number of fairly new Steady State theories that have been developed recently, say the last 15 years.
But most Astro-physicists see the Big Expansion as the most likely.
That idea has basically been debunked, just too many such coincidences. In other words, beyond some point, connections stop being coincidental.
Pre-production models. Test mules if you will. Any designer worth His salt will go through several iterations until He finds one that is ready for full on production.
;-)
You're prepared to prove a negative?
There are many galaxies out there, some say 100 billion and others feel that 1 trillion is not to large a number for visible galaxies. Given those numbers the juxtaposition of two or threee objects is not all unlikely and when we look at the galaxies we find that it very common.
In the 1970s a British astronomer, Fir Frederick Hoyle, calculated the probability of spontaneous generation of a single bacterium. He determined that the probability of generating the proteins necessary to form a single amoeba was one chance in 10 40,000 . To put this in perspective, if an event has the probability of one chance in 10 50 it is considered a mathematical impossibility.
"The likelihood of the formation of life from inanimate matter is one to a number with forty thousand naughts [zeros] after it. It is enough to bury Darwin and the whole theory of evolution. There was no primeval soup, neither on this planet nor on any other, and if the beginnings of life were not random they must therefor have been the product of purposeful intelligence."
-Sir Frederick Hoyle.
Thank you for the ping.
I watched all nine segments, and it struck me that the “scientific” community is a lot like the medieval church. It establishes a belief and destroys all heretics. It’s a lot like the “anthropogenic global climate change” hoax.
I’m glad that these scientists persisted and are succeeding in getting the truth out about the big bang.
I’m not a researcher anymore and haven’t been one for many years, but when I look at the Astronomy Picture of the Day, I wonder why everything looks so jumbled up if it all originated from one source that is exploding outward.
Note the channel of material connecting the four objects and try to tell me how that could be just a near/far line-up coincidence.
Yep. I signed up for it via freepmail. I look forward the pings. I find discussions of evolution and intelligent design very interesting. :-)
You state that Neanderthal DNA was halfway between ours and chimps, which means we had a common ancestor, not that we descended from neaderthals or chimps.
Besides, Neaderthals created art, hunted, and made fire. Does that sound like an advanced ape to you?
This one needs to be shared. Again there were several major players in it including Fred Hoyle, Arp, Eric Lerner, and Tony Peratt. Apparently it was a 4tv video made in 04 (http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0851217/).
Sorry but that's idiotic. A common ancestor would be further removed from us than the neanderthal and all parties agree that the Neanderthal is too far removed to be an ancestor. That's like claiming that dogs are too far genetically removed from wolves to be descended from them and that, therefore, they (dogs) must be descended directly from fish.
Besides, Neaderthals created art, hunted, and made fire. Does that sound like an advanced ape to you?
Certainly it does. You clearly haven't kept up with the last 30 years worth of work with Gorillas. Some of the ones which have been taught deaf signs check out as having IQs in the 90 - 105 range which is adequate for half of all American jobs. It's only the lack of voluntary control of breathing which prevents their speaking English.
As Stanley Jaki pointed out in The Paradox of Olbers Paradox, the Paradox should have convinced people that the universe was not infinite in either time or space.
Aside from the idea of a realized infinity being a philosophical absurdity, Olbers Paradox involves the fact that the night sky is dark. If the universe were truly infinite in space and time, everywhere you looked there would be a star (infinite in space), and old enough that the light from every star would have reached the Earth (infinite in time). The night sky would be as bright as the surface of the sun. Since the night sky is dark, the universe cannot be infinite in either space or time.
This doesn't resolve issues such as big bang vs. continuous creation, but it does put a finite limit on the age of the universe.
Both of my parents are dead. There does not exist any person I could be a direct descendant of. Does that mean I have no ancestors?
I generally answer intelligent questions...
Just when you think they couldn’t possibly get MORE cRetarded.
