Do you believe in god?

Again, not saying that explosions can't create something. The atomic bombs that were dropped in Japan destroyed 2 cities. When a sun explodes, it can form into a black hole. When a grenade explodes, it can destroy some parts around it. When a volcano explodes, lava, rock flies around.
What I'm saying is that it cannot make something like earth.

When a volcano "explodes" it causes lava to flow which in turn can "create" new land, form islands or even continents.
It's what formed all that we walk on today.

The big bang was an expansion, not an explosion.

1. Its a theory, its not a fact
2. There are plenty of scientist that don't believe in the Big Bang
3. If it wasn't a big explosion, which by the way a "Bang" is, why isn't it called the Big Expansion?
4. I am fully aware that there are billions of planets and stars, I own a telescope and love to look around in space.
5. I wasn't just comparing it with man-made explosions, I also mentioned nature explosions, such as volcanoes, solar bursts, etc.

Okay I'm going to respond to all these points somewhat briefly.

1. Once again it is clear you know very little about the topic. The word theory has a different meaning in the scientific world. Science doesn't claim to offer absolute proofs and is constantly adapting when new discoveries are made, something religion mostly fails to do. This allows all theories to be open to debate, which is a good thing. However some theories are essentially proofs (but not quite), when there is so much evidence supporting it. The Big Bang is one example of this. Here is some of the evidence, just google it and maybe finally do some research for once.

- Abundance of Hydrogen/ Helium in the Universe
- Cosmic Background radiation
- The doppler effect

I hope you know that gravity is also still a theory along with the Big Bang, yet I don't see you criticising it.

2. You're wrong when you say plenty of scientists don't believe in the Big Bang. 99.9% of scientists related to astronomy believe and support Big Bang theory. So thankfully you and your silly opinion is in the minority.

3. The name is misleading, the term Big Bang came from a scientist called Fred Hoyle and the name just stuck. The Big Bang was not an explosion as it had no centre.

4. So if your fully aware that there are billions of planets, how on earth do you not understand that the probability of just one of those planets supporting life is massive, it is ludicrous to suggest the alternate.

5. A VOLCANIC ERUPTION IS NOT EXACTLY AN EXPLOSION. Also this point is completely irrelevant as the Big Bang as I said previously was not even an explosion.

So in conclusion, once again do some reading before debating on this topic and please google that little list I gave you.

I'm not going to discuss this, I can see this turning into a flame, especially with the way you are talking.

I don't think I've been particularly rude at all and I'm not the kind of guy to get involved in a pointless flame war. Stop making excuses and respond to the points I made please.

 

[Zeno]

@Chriscgr Please stop now. You're taking a perfectly civil thread and creating a flame war. Stop.

@Chriscgr Please stop now. You're taking a perfectly civil thread and creating a flame war. Stop.

How on earth have I created a flame war, please explain to me. Everything I have posted so far has been relevant to the debate and not once have I directed an insult towards anyone.

I am an Atheist despite being baptised a Christian and going to a catholic primary and secondary school. I just feel as though a book written about 600 years ago shouldn't control your lives, I mean, 2 bears mauled 42 boys for calling a guy baldy. I just don't even...

calling someone 'silly' is in your opinion starting a flame war?

 

[Brodina5]

I'm a Christian. It horrifies me to think that after death our souls just vanish. We don't know we're dead. We can't think or anything, and we're just gone.

I don't mean to start a flame war, but think about it, what would you prefer, knowing you're dead or not knowing. And better yet, being judged by a sky zombie who could easily send you down to a firery pit of death and pain for eternity.

If I was a bear and I heard 42 boys calling a guy baldy thats what I would do.

Not in my opinion, but it's the closest thing that I could find in your reply that could cause a flame war..
