My my, aren't we cock-sure of ourselves. What are your credentials in the scientific community?Duel bachelor's of science degrees in Biology and Zoology, Masters in Biology, PhDs in Biochemistry and Genetics. (Or maybe I am just a very smart amateur, well read enough to know enough of the scientific study of evolution to know that it exists, is real, that the modern synthesis is our closest and best model of how it happened, and that the biblical story, presented as real history is laughingly false.)
Like I mentioned to another "scientist", please explain these comments with scientific arguments rather than "because I said so" dogma: They are only theories, which amount to educated guesses - no proof = a need for faith.Because, assuming that you mean "no evidence" where you wrote "no proof" (because "no proof" makes no sense, even with your quasi-literate writing style), you are gravely wrong. There is much evidence.
Any theory on where all the matter came from to begin the Big Bang? From my understanding, it didn't come "from" anywhere. Did it exist as matter or energy? If time started with the Bang - what was there before time? What does science have other than guesses designed to fit their theories?Go find a cosmologist and ask him. I am not a cosmologist, nor am I up on the latest science in that area. (But your question about what was there "before" time was created game me a good laugh. The question is pretty ridiculous. There was no "before" before time was created, because "before" means previously in time.)
After all - it was only recently that they decided to revisit the expanding universe and decided they need to rethink their other theories - rather than answers, science comes up with more questions,Oh, I see. You are opposed to the actual practice of science: questioning previously believed things, testing them, comparing the theories to the tests, and formulating new theories to meet new information. Well, that's a shame, because science has done some wonderful things. But if you're comfortable with the cosmology of ancient Semitic goat-herders, that's fine by me.
yet some folks are even more religiously fervent in their faith in scientific answers than the Believers are in how they express their own belief in the Biblical accounts.Ha. Doubtful. I've yet to hear about the scientist who talked hundreds of students into drinking poisoned Kool-Aid because of a challenge to his theory.
Cute - what are your thoughts of eternity vs. time? the PhDs would indicate an ability to express yourself with a reasoned train of thought instead of quips - I don't have those lofty degrees, but I can detect a lazy/u informed evasion when I see it. I've heard the Big Bang theories that everything was compreesed to the size of an atom, when time/matter/energy did not exist, to be suddenly spewed out, creating time/energy/mass. Perhaps the term "before time" might seem simplistic to one so lofty as you, but the concept of it can't be that hard to grasp if there was nothing before the Big Bang, then that state must have preceeded it. Then the theories that figure everything will stop expanding, only to recompress and then regenerate in a new Big Bang also indicates that there was a "before".
If you want to snicker, at least take the time to justify it - that shouldn't be too much of an effort compared to the work that went into the degrees. (And I'm not making light of the effort of the degrees - I got a Bachelors in Education going to night classes and I know how time-consuming and strenuous it can be - my hat's off to you for your accomplishments in that area.)
