Said js1138: It makes me thankful that you are not teaching science. Does that help?

I am teaching science, (but not at public school) and as a matter of fact I start each class off with reading a couple of verses from Genesis and if a video I'm showing talks about the earth being millions of years old, I stop the DVD and ask my students how long it really took God to create the world and they say "6 days!"

Does that help any?

I did notice that you completely skirted around my questions -- all of them!

So how about it? Be scientist and address the issue!

Thanks,

Do you really believe that there was nothing and then the vacuum fluctuated and bang, all the sudden matter came into existence? (Or that matter came into existence from nothing any other way?) If a impressionable youngster who looked up to you asked you "Did all matter really come to be from absolutely nothing with a big bang due to natural process?" would you say "Yes"?

I'm aware of lots of conjectures about what caused the big bang ore what happened "before," but I'm not aware of any positive assertions that would show up in a textbook as fact. Much of what shows up on TV science channels has been scripted by the science equivalent of ad writers. The shows are designed to attract an audience rather than to educate.

It is much safer to talk about the history of the universe after the big bang than before.

Millions? Is that a typo?
