Is 'String' the next big thing?: Theories about cosmic evolution dangle by a thread

by Gary Bates

Most people have heard of the expression ‘the big bang’. Its usage is so prevalent among mainstream scientists and the media that it has become the accepted ‘fact’ for how the universe began. However, there are an increasing number of secular scientists who are sceptical of this theory of cosmic evolution, and much of their scepticism has been caused by increasing discoveries that fly in the face of big bang theory. In May 2004 ‘An Open Letter to the Scientific Community’ signed by dozens of secular scientists was advertised in the renowned New Scientist. At the time of writing this article, the total number of scientists signing the letter who are sceptical of the big bang has increased to over 400.[1]

One of the great problems for those who believe that the universe came into existence by itself is...

My cat is fascinated by the string theory and would toy with it for hours if I would let him.

Generally, the same old stuff.

This is a good point, though. “Attempts to prop up this theory in the face of increasing problems have led to many weird hypotheses invoking mysterious unseen forces known as ‘dark matter’ and ‘dark energy’ to basically hold the universe together or to push it apart.”

Whenever your theory requires undetectable forces to work, you might want to re-examine your theory. Doesn’t mean the undetectable factors might not exist, but assuming their existence isn’t very scientific.

Actually, most physicists are frustrated with String theory because it doesn’t predict anything that can be tested.

Until it can be tested even physicists will not accept it.

The authors apparently believe that Big Ban Theory assumes there is no God.

In fact, the theory itself says nothing of the kind. In fact, BBT is fully congruent with the idea of Creation. All it requires is the belief that God set off the Bang. What precipitated the Bang is not addressed in the theory.

String theory is just another useless theory that gives useless math professors addicted to working on endless equations something to do.

The theory claims that all the matter, space and energy of the entire universe pre-existed in a particle no bigger than the head of a pin.

Okay. But where was particle and who put it there?

You may want to read the following, especially Point 7 to the end.

What application does string theory have in YOUR daily life, other than to prove you don't have one?

In fact the big bang theory lead many scientists to declare their belief in God or at least intelligent design. If you believe the universe is 12 billion years old or somewhat, that simply isnt enough time according to the darwinists to evolve the structure and complexity of life and cosmos we see today

Hence the oscillating universe theory. Everytime science finds something that seems to indicate creation rather than natural processes, the theories get further out and more fantastic to try to counter any possibility of God. Those pushing the ever more contorted theories are fools.
