Question for "Evolutionists" |
Do you really believe that there may be intelligent life on other planets?
If so, what about the possibility that THEY may have created us, the
universe did evolve, and they were here first?
After all, we have successfully cloned animals and are very close to cloning
human beings. This is the first step in learning how to CREATE humans. How
do you know that these space aliens on a distant planet that we have been
long searching for are not simply millions of years ahead of us in
technology and they created us as a long-term science experiment in their
search to explain THEIR existence?
That would be a plausible scientific explanation for our existence, would it
not?

No, the age of the universe isn't very clear, but, if I recall
correctly, the current best estimate is about 13.5 billion years.
Is that before or after the Hubble telescope was able to see farther than no
man had ever seen before?
I'll ask the same question that I asked to a group of advocates of
evolution. None of them gave me a great answer to this question:
How did the matter that exploded during the "big bang" come to be? I
should note that when I saw a film (based on "computer animation") about
the Big Bang theory, the narrator of the film never stated how the matter
that exploded came to be. The professor that showed the film refused to
answer any questions about the film.
Why do you continue to ask this question when it has been answered.
We do not know anything about the universe prior to Planck Time. Got
that? If you want to know more, you will have to become a physicist and
discover it -- using science.
Your question was just annoying after it was answered the first time,
but now it reeks of dishonesty. I doubt that your description of the
events surrounding your question after the film is accurate.
By the way, didn't you claim to be in college when Skinner's daughter
was very young? Wouldn't that make you about 75 years old now? Who was
teaching about the Big Bang in 1950?

You don't even know me but claim you know my age. You also imply that you
know what a professor said to a class that I attended despite the fact
that you were not in the class and probably was not even in the same
state. You seem to believe that someone that graduated from college in
1950 is not able to learn about the Big Bang theory from a science
magazine or via the internet.

There but for circumstances go I.
Being an atheist isn’t a choice or act of will — like theism; it’s a
consequence of what one knows and how one reasons.

I deduced your age from comments you made about Skinner and his daughter

was when you were in college were incorrect.
You also imply that you

If you were in college in 1950, then the professor was not showing a
film based on computer animation, nor was he likely to be referring to
it as the Big Bang, since it had only been referred to with that name by
Hoyle disparagingly the year before.
You seem to believe that someone that graduated from college in
1950 is not able to learn about the Big Bang theory from a science

But that's not what your claims were.

While I was still in the first college that I ever attended, I was
required to take a class related to psychology. There was an entire
chapter related to Behavior Modification. I recall that we discussed the
picture of the little girl that was inside the Skinner Baby Box. The
picture of the little girl was printed in our psych. text book. I don't
know the exact age the girl was while I was involved in the class. The
picture was probably taken at least a year or more before the psych. text
book was published.

As the Snopes article that you provided to us tells us, the child in the

I deduced your age from comments you made about Skinner and his daughter
and her age when you were in college. If I am incorrect in estimating
your age, it is because your comments about how old Skinner's daughter
was when you were in college were incorrect.
I went to graduate school many years after I obtained my B.S. Degree.
I have also attended a creation science vs. evolution seminar (unrelated
to my degrees) several years ago. I saw the film (computer
animation) about
the big bang theory at a college last year. I did not obtain my BS degree
in 1950--not even close.
So Skinner's daughter was not a young child when you first saw this
picture. Why did you bother to add that comment?
...
While I was still in the first college that I ever attended, I was
required to take a class related to psychology. There was an entire
chapter related to Behavior Modification. I recall that we discussed the
picture of the little girl that was inside the Skinner Baby Box. The
picture of the little girl was printed in our psych. text book. I don't
know the exact age the girl was while I was involved in the class. The
picture was probably taken at least a year or more before the psych. text
book was published.
As the Snopes article that you provided to us tells us, the child in the
picture was born in 1944. Does that help you?
I must have missed reading that information. This means the child in the
picture was a young lady while I was in the first college that I ever
attended.

Then explain this:
The big bang over trillions of years involves a perpetual motion of
expansion and contaction and expansion again into a new universe. When
did
that perpeual motion begin, how did it begin, and where did all that mass
come from in the first place?
No, the age of the universe isn't very clear, but, if I recall
correctly, the current best estimate is about 13.5 billion years.
Is that before or after the Hubble telescope was able to see farther than no
man had ever seen before?
It was an estimate from last year. I don't think I have ever seen an
estimate in recent decades greater than 20 billion years as the greatest
possible age of the universe.

Oh, and I forgot to address the first part of your post.
Evolution is a totally different process from a dirt cloud settling.
No it's not.
Yah huh!
The big bang theory began with the entire universe compressed
into the size of a pinpoint.
Well that makes SCIENTIFIC theorists all the more remarkable I'd say,
to have the advanced intellect, not to mention, presence of mind, to
come up with a theory, any theory, of any worth, more than a dozen
billion years before the human race even came to be, and, whilst
compressed, along with every bit of matter that was/was to come to be,
in an object the size of a pinhead? Wow!
All that mass expanded outward from a
pinpoint. It eventually formed our known universe. It is the same senerio
as a dirt clod being blown to pieces and forming a perfect unity. That is
how pathetic the big bang is.
And yet this is the way scientists believe it all happened.
I am no scientist, well, ok, I fancy myself to be, at the least, a
barnyard scientist, and, I can't say that I BELIEVE that that, the big
bang, is how it all started, (after all, where did all the matter
compressed in an object the size of a pinhead come from? A former
universe[from an earlier big bang], that had gone into reverse,
collasped back to it's center and exploded once again upon reaching
critical mass?) I don't know, I wasn't there, but, it makes more sense
to me than to think that some magickal genii twitched its nose, so to
speak, and poof, everything in season, including an insidious trap for
Adam. The poor *****, he never had a chance, your god used SEX to
entrap him. And how old was Adam, less than a week old? His bellybutton
wasn't even h..., nevermind. Excuse me if you will, don't if you won't,
but, your theory, is by FAR, the more pathetic.

Hello,
We discussed this in another thread. None of the evolutionists (except for
one) could explain to me how the matter that exploded during the big bang
came to be.
Each time he provided an answer--I would ask--
"How did that substance or substances you mentioned come to be?"
He eventually gave up once he must have realized that he would eventually
run out of answers.
Well all that is neither here nor there (whatever that means).
The solar system and earth had to have a beginning point.
They most certainly did, our middle aged sun, which is, I think, a g4
type star, was born, as I understand it, when a huge quantity of
cosmic gases (presumably created in to Big BANG) condensed in a
sufficient quantity as to set up such enormous gravitational pressure
at it's center that, well, it lit up like a candle, about 4.5 billion
years ago. Btw, you can learn all that in school in all states in the
U.S. (except Kansas) and many other countries around the world.
There are a number of ways that the Earth may have come to be, but I
doubt if any of them were, well, you know, magickal, at least not so
magickal as might be a magick genii twitching it nose or a god saying
let there a planet.
I believe that God created the solar system and the earth.
I don't believe that THAT god (or any other) exists period, hence...
However, when
people ask me--How did God come to be?--I have to say "I don't know."
I guess that kind of puts us all in the same boat, we don't know how
all this got put together, but, we don't stand the chance of a snowball
in hell if we allow ourselves to be sidetrack into a sweet little
fairytale world which answers all of those questions child ask out of
curiousity.

Cosmologists have a decent idea what has happened to the universe from
very shortly after the Big Bang until the present. It is currently
impossible for us to know what the universe was like prior to the first
moment (Planck time) after the Big Bang.
It makes no sense to ignore all of the evidence that has been gathered
because you are able, with infinite recursion, to find the limits of
scientific knowledge. It also makes no sense to claim to believe
something that conflicts with scientific knowledge, as Creationism and
belief in a global Flood do.

That was just after the final contraction of the old universe (according to
science). The pinpoint was only a fraction of a second, then a new universe
expands. That univers finally reaches full expansion then finally contracts
into a pinpoint again where it once again expands into a new universe.
That is the Big Bang theory. However, it does not explain when this
perpetual motion began, how it began or where all that mass originaly came

No it is not the Big Bang theory. It is one of the accepted theories which
include what you posted as well as a single big bang with nothing before it
and the possibility of Aleph one big bangs.
The question of where it came from has not been answered.
There is no difference between the definition of god and the big bang at the
point where most of the fundy parrots using the argument from cause leave
off.
I only say "most of the fundy parrots" because the possibility that one of
them knows exists.
To date none have even commented on it.

This is one possibility, but the expansion of the universe is apparently
accelerating, making this scenario quite unlikely. All we can say is
that we do not know what happened before Planck Time.

Imagine that! Back in the 70's science taught us that the universe had

I don't know what high school school you attended, but back in the 70's
I was taught the universe was expanding applying the Doppler Effect as
indicated by the red shift in the stars. I was taught that scientists
were debating (and still are) whether the universe would expand forever
and eventually come apart, or if it would reach a critical expansion
and then contract.

This is one possibility, but the expansion of the universe is apparently
accelerating, making this scenario quite unlikely.
Imagine that! Back in the 70's science taught us that the universe had
reached it's full expansion and was now beginning to contract!
Really? Could you point to any scientific articles or quality
popularizations to support that claim? My memory is that in the '70s,
there still wasn't quite enough evidence yet to show that steady state
was invalid as an option. I wasn't aware of anyone claiming that we were
already in a contraction state.
All we can say is that we do not know what happened before Planck Time.
Agreed.

My junior high school science class taught this theory. They were teaching
from scientifically accepted literature and textbooks.

We're not talking about Planck time.

I'm not following what you are saying here. We cannot say where the
material from the Big Bang came from because that was before Planck
Time.

Oh you seriously expect me to remember that far back as to identify the
particular books we were learning from back in 1972?
Sounds like a troll to me.

No, I don't, but I also don't expect you to stand by your memory of what
was taught when you cannot show any evidence that anyone was teaching
that claim in 1972 and insist that it is accurate. If you cannot
remember the book, I doubt that you can remember exactly what was being
taught from it.
Sounds like a troll to me.
Nah, just chumming the water.

Yet you stand by your memory (or lack thereof) of what you learned (or
didn't learn) that far back and somehow this takes presidence over my
memories by saying that I must be either mistaken, misinformed or lying
simply because I can't quote a book title and author from 1972. Can you say
double-standard?
If you cannot

Then how on earth can you remember what you were taught when you cannot cite
book titles and authors from Junior High?

Actually, I stand by things that I have learned about the history of
science since then, and even I get that wrong. I did make a mistake on
the timeline of steady state. The background radiation experiment
(apparently unintended) by Penzias and Wilson was done in the early '60s
so it should have been in your text by then. That was pretty much the
end of steady state.
I am still not aware of any time that even a strong minority of
scientists thought that the universe was contracting. That is why I
questioned your memory.
If you cannot
remember the book, I doubt that you can remember exactly what was being
taught from it.

I don't bother to. Things I've learned are all jumbled together and
updated at random. If I need to cite a fact, I look for resouces either
from today, if I want to be correct. If I want to know what was thought
forty years ago, I'll blow the dust off the appropriate volume of
Encyclopedia Britannica from the early sixties that is sitting around
here.
Sounds like a troll to me.
