Yes, so in responce to you PHIL121 there is a measurement of Dark Matter. And at this point the measurements don't show enough mass to create a big crunch.AttentionKMartShoppers wrote:You may not be able to see it, but you can detect its gravitational pull.

Are you trying to imply that ALL the dark matter in the universe has been found so far? ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

I agree to a huge extent. Lol. A theory derived through the scientific method, which is largely ignored considering many of the "theories" we discuss did not follow that age old cannon of science, does not by default become science. Spontaneus generation ond other scientific theories if their day were not part of scientific knowledge. They were wrong as are many today in spite of the fact the explain things. I think that this is "science falsely so called"Blob wrote:. Yet the answer itself is, in fact, conjured out of thin air and utterly underivable from the gap in knowledge it aims to plug.

If a theory is arrived at through the scientific method, one must use the scientific method to discredit it.Jbuza wrote:

Depends on what you count as evidence. There is no evidence for creationism, yet many believe in that.PHIL121 wrote:If a theory is arrived at through the scientific method, one must use the scientific method to discredit it.Jbuza wrote:

Also, you must define what you mean by creationism-there are the Biblically consistent versions, and then the Biblically inconsistent and gnostic versions...

Actually, The Big Bang theory argues FOR Creationism.

It's so funny how many people believe in the Big Bang...but not understand its implications...all you have to do is look at some scientists who have made up some stupid theories: scientists like Hoyle who made up a theory that breaks laws-such as the one that matter cannot be created-his theory says that matter is created at the rate of one hydrogen atom per 1000 square miles in space per year...:-p Then you have the unscientific multiverse theory proposed by at least Stephen Gould, and then you have Stephen Hawkins who uses imaginary numbers (multiples of the square root of negative one....) to get around the beginning-his theory involves imaginary time :-p

Wow! Wow! I have never thought of this before. The big bang theory is not at all the same thing when you approach it from a different philosophical position. IT is much easier to explain, is more simple, and therefor more scientific when one doesn't arbitrarily reject God. Interesting. I guess from a strict materialistic philosophy one would have to speculate about Dark matter. I really like this thought Phil121.PHIL121 wrote:Actually, The Big Bang theory argues FOR Creationism.

What's more, I've heard one theory (it WAS by a Christian relating it) that the Big Bang was caused by an "information wave".
