In fact, having all the mass of the universe collapsed to a point would be the ultimate black hole. How's anything gonna "bang" its way out of that??
And, not only does it bang its way out of it, supposedly we know it’s size, and about how long it took to coalesce into particles and energy, and about how long it took for the matter and anti-matter to KERBLAM, and about how much percentage wise there was of each, so we know that there was more matter than anti-matter.
Science is great, and so are mathematical representations, but it seems to get stretched to me.
parsy, who OTOH, may just be too stupid to understand
>>How’s anything gonna “bang” its way out of that??
Thats what the learned minds at CERN want to find out.
But the evidence we can see and measure tells us that
this is indeed the case. The guy who coined the phrase
big bang also attempted to proven that the U was steady state and therefore no “Creator” needed to set existence into being.
It is pretty conclusive that the universe is indeed about 13.8B years old, as proven with measurement
of distances to various stars, the behavior of light,
and the decay properties of the elements.
Maybe when we finally solve this mystery the Lord will
call us home and tell us we’ve graduated to the next level.
