"the collection of all the things that exist in space"
So space - "a hard vacuum containing a low density of particles"Outer space, or just space, is the expanse that exists beyond the Earth and between celestial bodies. Outer space is not completely empty—it is a hard vacuum containing a low density of particles, predominantly a plasma of hydrogen and helium, as well as electromagnetic radiation, magnetic fields, neutrinos, dust, and cosmic rays. The baseline temperature, as set by the background radiation from the Big Bang, is 2.7 kelvins (−270.45 °C; −454.81 °F).[1] The plasma between galaxies accounts for about half of the baryonic (ordinary) matter in the universe; it has a number density of less than one hydrogen atom per cubic metre and a temperature of millions of kelvins;[2] local concentrations of this plasma have condensed into stars and galaxies. Studies indicate that 90% of the mass in most galaxies is in an unknown form, called dark matter, which interacts with other matter through gravitational but not electromagnetic forces.[3][4] Observations suggest that the majority of the mass-energy in the observable universe is a poorly understood vacuum energy of space, which astronomers label dark energy.[5][6] Intergalactic space takes up most of the volume of the universe, but even galaxies and star systems consist almost entirely of empty space.
Vacuum energy is an underlying background energy that exists in space throughout the entire Universe. This behavior is codified in Heisenberg's energy–time uncertainty principle. Still, the exact effect of such fleeting bits of energy is difficult to quantify. The vacuum energy is a special case of zero-point energy that relates to the quantum vacuum.[1]
CMBSo no one knows what this is?
Now. Same question?The cosmic microwave background (CMB, CMBR), in Big Bang cosmology, is electromagnetic radiation as a remnant from an early stage of the universe, also known as "relic radiation". The CMB is faint cosmic background radiation filling all space.

The earth is 50 million years old?
And took thousands of years to cool down?
Hilarious!
And the dinosaurs are terribly funny. Of course it was known what some of them looked like, they had bones.
But they didn't have computer technology so they couldn't figure out that T Rex and others balanced on their hind legs, not stood upright like people.
And the one dinosaur scratching itself with it's front legs was very cartoony.
But still, they got the form right, they knew the dinosaurs was from millions of years ago and they knew the both cooled down and heated up.
A far cry from the earth being thousands of years old and people being shimmered into being from dirt.
What this shows is how the "theory" of evolution keeps.......well......evolving. It's not settled science. It's continuing exploration.
In Arizona, teaching creationism is supported by 4 of 5 Republicans who want to oversee education
Evolution wording removed from draft of Arizona school science standards
More proof Republicans will never stop with their ignorance. They only way to stop them is to defeat them at the ballot box. And for the good of the country, they MUST be defeated. Can you imagine the country if Republicans got their way and taught their ignorance to American children?
Kewl...
Almost every chemist, biologist, physicist, MD, electrical and mechanical engineer I know is a Republican.
Almost every idiot I know is a Liberal.
Therefore space limits the size of the Universe. But since the Universe is expanding then space must also be expanding. Expanding into what?
A theory is an explanatory argument. That's all a theory is.Somethings aren’t a theory. There are things that can be measured and even looked at.Yes, it is. We cannot go back in time to see what actually happened...Wrong. Some guesses are much better than others. No, your guess is not as valid as a cosmologist's "guess". So no, it's not "anyone's guess".
The Big Bang TheoryWhich theories are not falsifiable? Name a couple.
The Theory of Abiogenesis
The Theory of Evolution
No, it is not 'proven'... Neither religion nor science can be proven; they are open functional systems. They don't make use of proofs.Btw, evolution is as 'proven' as anything can be proven. It is an accepted fact.
Evolution is the theory that present day life arose from the mutations of earlier life forms. That theory is not falsifiable, as we cannot use a time machine to see what actually happened all those years ago. Science has NO theories about past unobserved events...
Also, a fact is NOT a universal truth, nor is it a proof. A 'fact' is simply an assumed predicate. Facts are useful for speeding up conversations...
Do you know what that is?
Wow, people new more about evolution in 1925 than Republicans do today!
By the religious in charge.Wow, people new more about evolution in 1925 than Republicans do today!
Sure, that's why in 1925 John Scopes was arrested and imprisoned for teaching evolution in school, right, Troll King?
Also True.By the religious in charge.Wow, people new more about evolution in 1925 than Republicans do today!

From opening sessions with prayer to new laws, religion often intersects with politics and policy in the Tennessee General Assembly's work, drawing passionate discussion and even national attention. And the week-old 2016 legislative session promises to deliver more of the same.
It was completely controlled by white conservatives. Who were the Democrats in the 20s and 30s all the way up to the 60s. That’s when the white conservatives left the Democratic Party and became Republicans. At least you have to admit that today’s Republicans are white conservatives. And you know Lincoln was never a confederate.By the religious in charge.Wow, people new more about evolution in 1925 than Republicans do today!

Yes, in Tennessee which was completely controlled by your party, not Republicans.

So an education only counts if your a liberal ?So what? That means nothing.Almost every chemist, biologist, physicist, MD, electrical and mechanical engineer I know is a Republican.
