Well, I'm not trying to argue with you when I say this, but, it's hard to say its "evidence" per se. One could say that the galaxies moving away from each other is evidence, but we really dont know why things move the way they do.
It's just that its unprovable. No one can say for sure the big bang happened, just like no one can say for sure that God exists. We can believe what we want, but until the end, we only have faith to go on, and that is why it takes faith to believe in either viewpoint.
The evidence of expansion points to a time when everything in the universe was closer together. Absent any evidence to the contrary, a BB is the most logical conclusion. It doesn't take faith to believe in what your eyes tell you, it takes faith to disbelieve what your eyes tell you. That is the difference between science and religion.
There may be a god behind it all but I see no reason to believe anyone knows more than I do about him/her/it. And I know nothing.
I understand the evidence, but when you trace it back to the beginning, it starts to fall apart. For example, many people believe in the singularity, that the big bang started as a microscopic point in the universe, and expanded from there. Where I start to question that is, how was it that something so small contained enough matter to create all the planets, stars, moons, asteroids etc.
I understand that it was all just a plasmatic goo that started to cool and eventually formed all the elements that created everything we see, but, unless new matter is still being created, the only matter that exists today is the same matter that existed when the singularity happened. All of the building blocks of the universe would have had to existed at the time of singularity. It's just hard to fathom all the building blocks for billions of stars and planets and..everything out there, was all contained in a microscopic point.
The only explanation would be that matter is still being created, and that sort of ties in with another theory of mine. That is, they say the universe is continually expanding, and that everything is moving away from each other. Does this mean the fabric of space is being stretched and getting thinner and thinner? Or does it mean that new matter is continually being pushed into the universe, suggesting that the big bang is still happening?
Also, the second part that falls apart is the one nobody can answer, and that is, how can something come from nothing. It's just not possible for there to be nothing, and then something appears.
Logic would say that something existed before the universe began. When you ponder that, then you have to ask, where did that something come from? Did it just always exist? There had to have been a beginning somewhere, sometime.
Also, if the universe is expanding, what is it expanding into? Nothing? On the furthest edges of the universe, is non existence. It's a void that hasn't been created yet, and the universe is racing toward it. Really, since the universe expands in all directions, we are contained within a bubble of non existence. What we can see is reality, beyond that, nothing.
So if the universe is expanding into nothingness, again, does that mean if you could fly to the furthest edge, youd see the big bang continually happening as it expands?
Wow, I think I just confused myself [emoji23]
