About this BIG BANG thing

[Detector]

The other day I was watching the History Channel and they had this segment on the Big Bang Theory. It was interesting as far as theories go, but I was a bit offended by the remarks of some of their sources.

There was this one fella, that was made out to be some big time MIT professor, that really kind of pissed me off. He came off as if he thought he was gods gift to intelligence, but in my opinion he seemed rather stupid and very arrogant.

He lost my attention when he made the comment that "Anyone, of any intelligence, that didn't believe the big bang theory had to be an idiot."

First off, anyone of any intelligence wouldn't be considered an idiot. Second, what gives this guy the right to call anyone that doesn't agree with his belief an idiot? For a MIT professor that seems a bit ignorant too me. If the big bang concept was more than just a theory then I'd agree, but until it can be found as fact its nothing more than a theory.

What I found strange was while scientists still push this theory they are finding conflicting information. For example, while trying to prove this concept that a big bang sent debris out that formed our universe they discovered the universe was not expanding away from a single point, but that the planets were expanding away from each other.

So they continue to claim that if we were to go back in time some 14 billion years we would find all the debris that makes up our universe has come together at a point smaller than a single atom. And then they tell us while trying to find this single point where it all began they discover the is not expanding from a single point but that all the planets are expanding away from each other in different directions.

So it seems too me that if the planets are not expanding from a single point,as if from a single big bang, wouldn't that disprove the single point big bang theory? And if so, wouldn't they want to think about changing the whole big bang theory? I realize getting science to admit they were wrong is next to impossible, but how can they expect a new theory to emerge if they refuse to except the present one is flawed?

Kind of reminds you of the theory of evolution

Or global warming.

Well they have to come up with "something" so they can collect all that GRANT MONEY, to come up with a THEORY. It amazes they can go back billions of years and explain how they THINK it all happened, with a straight face.


However on a different note , I watched part of NOVA last night. Had to switch to a movie.
Seems we have global dimming now. I can't digest much more of the gloom and doom in big doses, I have to take it in increments.


NOVA | Dimming the Sun | PBS

I found this while researching for the NOVA article

Global Dimming (Contrails) Video

I "THINK" we do contribute to the global issues, but I don't have a degree to prove it.

Wanna hear my "big bang theory"!!??

the only thing that you've got that is big is an imagination.

Nice shot!

Just how in the world did the Big Bang leave the earth in the exact position as it was needed. just 2 degrees either closer or further from the sun would do the earth in by boiling or freezing. If we evolved, the way they say we did, why are their still Chimps and Apes still running around. Heck, with this recking, we have alot more cousins than we know.
