Big Bang Fizzles under Lithium Test
by Brian Thomas, M.S. *
Secular astrophysicists often talk about “primordial nucleosynthesis” as though it were a historical event like Washington crossing the Delaware. In theory, it describes how certain conditions—not God’s handiwork—during an early Big Bang universe somehow cobbled together the first elements. However, unlike Washington’s crossing, no historical evidence corroborates this primordial nucleosynthesis, an idea beset by a theoretical barrier called the “lithium problem.” Secular scientists recently put this problem to a practical test.
In theory, the Big Bang’s natural processes would have produced a certain ratio of stable lithium isotopes—lithium-6 and lithium-7. Michael Anders of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) used the LUNA accelerator, sheltered from solar radiation beneath thousands of feet of Italian mountain rock, to test that theory. The device flung helium nuclei at deuterium nuclei to form lithium-6 in conditions designed to mimic those that characterized the Big Bang’s supposed primordial nucleosynthesis.

From the article.
“One way to solve the lithium problem is to jettison the Big Bang theory altogether. Actually, that would fix a long list of problems: the horizon problem,3 mature distant galaxy problem,4 dark matter problem,5 flatness problem,6 missing antimatter problem,7 young spiral galaxy problem,8 inflation ignition problem,9 asymmetry problem,10 and star formation problem.11”

This article is about the “theory”,
it’s not about the perverted TV show.
“Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts” - Richard Feynman
I like this part too
“As science progresses, one would think it would increasingly confirm theories like the Big Bang. But instead of solving the Big Bang’s many problems, scientists are only finding more of them. The Big Bang theory has been imploding for decades as scientific experiments and observations continue to confirm Big Bang deal-breakers. And if the man-made narrative of the Big Bang never really happened, then God’s narrative of universal beginnings is back on the table.”
What’s perverted about the tv show? It’s the funniest show on TV consistently and has been for years.
It’s best to get your science news somewhere else.

I think it is ludicrous to say that the “Big Bang” (any scientific evidence aside) somehow obviates the need for God. That indeed could be the way He created the Universe. Also, be careful in claiming “it’s just a theory, there is no real proof” etc because that could be said about any of our Religious beliefs.
Sheldon could certainly use some lithium...
He’s not crazy! His mother had him tested!
Righto.
The Big Bang Theory is simply a restatement of Genesis 1:1, leaving out the causation.
I am always amazed by how many atheists and believers continue to believe BBT is somehow in conflict with the Bible. Except for what are, IMO, the most strained six-day creation theories.
What’s the first thing ISIS does when they conquer a new town? They mandate the teaching of creationism. Nice company you keep!
So nothing exploded and created everything isn’t true?
The “big bang” is not an adequate explanation for the origin of the universe.
It leads to absurdities.
It does not even try to explain how the unbelievably dense lump of matter the size of a pea came into existence.
Correct, when I ask this question to atheist I get blank stares.
You just lost 98% of the readers. ;o)
Guess just the actors are perverted.
And it gives no explanation as to what could possibly drive Kaley Cuoco to hack her hair off.
