Be sure to see the movie... "God's NOT Dead" it's playing now in the Villages... It is such a wonderful movie and addresses ALL of these BRILLIANT minds and their theories AND vs. God the Creator... There was some very, very interesting information in this movie.... One for everyone to see and consider....

The Creation Museum definitely is a one of kind place but to think of it in terms of any reality does not make sense. The museum founder, Ken Ham, believes the Earth is 6,000 years old and will not even look at the facts that disprove that such as the Grand Canyon. Naturally, he and his followers think that evolution is completely bogus.

It does make sense. I've been there. Have you? He puts up at every exhibit both views. He uses quotes of well known Scientists over the years. Something you do not see from the other Museums who hold no such view. Ken is not a Ph.D but is very well represented by many who are. He is a brilliant man with a vision and millions have checked out this museum and were impressed as was I. Both sides have the same facts. They just come away with different conclusions. That's basically it in a nutshell. One believes a creator was behind all this evidence and the other side believes it just happened without a creator. Obviously I believe the Creationists have a better answer.

It seems the title of the movie is a "spoiler" because it gives away the conclusion they come to in the end.

OK, if I missed this earlier, I apologize, but IT'S JUST A TV SHOW! Plus, it makes me wonder....Do you think the Flintstones was a real life projection of how things where in the stone age?

My understanding of how the big bang theory came about is this: Scientists can observe the universe expanding or moving outward. And if you were to picture or plot everything moving in reverse, everything would come together in what they call a "singularity".

In other words, picture ball bearings being propelled outward from a central location, as if by some explosion. At first there are no spaces between them. Then as they begin to move outward the spaces between the bearings begin to increase. If you could film them in slow motion and then reverse the film, you would see them come back together.

If you could do the same with the universe, it may be that everything would come together in one location. Then we know the greater the mass of an object, the greater the greater the pull of gravity. Perhaps, by using mathmatics, they figure that gravity would be so strong as to collapse everything into a very small singularity.

What do you think? Did I get it right? If I did get it right, it's good as a theory and I suppose it's how science is supposed to work.

I haven't had a chance to read all the links so there may have been an explanation better than what I gave above.

Last weekend............."I don't want to go. I don't want to go. I don't want to go." She made me go and I really liked it.

Regarding Big Bang.............I like Sheldon.

An expert once stated that to suggest the viability of the Big Bang Theory as a random event is like suggesting that an exploding building stuffed with letters of the alphabet creates an encyclopedia. In my view such an event as the mathematic precision of the universe requires some sort of intelligent design.

If the letters of the alphabet landed in water and could float, it's only a matter of time before random floating would spell out some words. And given that there might be billions of letters, who knows what you'd get? You might eventually get whole sentences.

You also point out that Einstein stated that energy could not be created or destroyed but it can change form. When a person dies energy leaves the body since it cannot be destroyed but can change form does that imply each of us lives elsewhere but in a different form? Is this in fact what many of us call heaven. I believe so. I have had many conversations over the years on this concept and also as to the Big Bang Theory. I have in an earlier thread recently expressed these same thoughts.

What you describe is based on faith, not science.

Like all of us I have struggled with these questions of the Big Bang Theory , the after life and of God.

In my humble opinion it is a struggle akin to banging your head against a wall. Intellect can 't get you to the decision on God because the brain is a lazy organ and one needs to look beyond the brain.

Anytime I want to get beyond the brain, I just take a nap.

As for scientific discussion on Big Bang theory the concept is so vast and complex with so many pieces of the puzzle missing that the best your going to get from a scientist is an qualified opinion meaning within the certainty of what science has available at that moment in time

That's okay, I accept that. It's science....it is what it is.

I lean toward intelligent design because creation while not perfect is so amazing and so resilient.

another aspect is to note how far advanced scientist have come in re-creation with stem cell, DNA, etc. I cannot even imagine what the world will look like one hundred years from now but hoping that my energy rests a hundred years from now with a human being preferable a rich good looking very athletic , very talented male that just makes the ladies swoon...

Well, a book has been written with the following title: "Live Long Enough To Live Forever". The idea is that if you can stay alive for another 10 or 20 years, science will advance to the point where they will be able to keep you alive forever.

The first words to be spelled are always "I" and "a."

What bothers me the most is that if you look at a diagram of an atom and look at out solar system as well as others they look similar. I believe the BB theory and also believe that some day our sun which is a star will run out of fuel and expand to the point of engulfing the inner planets. So at that point what difference does it make how it all started.

I love the Big Bang Theory series and DVR every new episode.

Oh, get the idiots out of your head and look at reality. The earth is NOT 6000 years old. It has been proven to be over 3.4 BILLION years old through something called SC-I-E-N-C-E. Stick your heads into the sand and say 6,000 years old and that Adam and Eve had Dino as their pet dinosaur. The Young Earth Creationists are full of mullarky. Look at SCIENCE to get the TRUTH!
