You had no idea science consensus was a flat earth and the universe always existed?
Because there wasn't. Again, produce the science book, or just admit you said something retarded for lack of having anything better to say.
Not that there is anyone who doesn't already know that...
Until the Big Bang Theory the dominating theory was the universe always existed, ignoramus.
Produce one single published scientific research article asserting this. One.
See you in...never, ya goofy little liar.
You’re joking, right?
Even today it’s highly discussed.
No Big Bang? Quantum equation predicts universe has no beginning
Whoops, you are losing focus
Not scientific consensus, not one published scientific research article asserting it as true. No overwhelming preponderance of evidence. Ever.
Better cut your losses and just shut up for a while.
I live for teaching Lefties.
In
medieval philosophy, there was much debate over whether the universe had a finite or infinite past (see
Temporal finitism). The philosophy of
Aristotle held that the universe had an infinite past, which caused problems for medieval
Jewish and
Islamic philosophers who were unable to reconcile the
Aristotelianconception of the eternal with the
Abrahamicview of creation.
[1] As a result, a variety of logical arguments for the universe having a finite past were developed by
John Philoponus,
Al-Kindi,
Saadia Gaon,
Al-Ghazali and
Immanuel Kant, among others.

In his 1225 treatise De Luce (On Light), English theologian
Robert Grosseteste explored the nature of matter and the cosmos. He described the birth of the universe in an explosion and the crystallization of matter to form stars and planets in a set of nested spheres around Earth. De Luce is the first attempt to describe the heavens and Earth using a single set of physical laws.

In 1610,
Johannes Kepler used the dark night sky to argue for a finite universe. Seventy-seven years later,
Isaac Newton described large-scale motion throughout the universe.
The description of a universe that expanded and contracted in a cyclic manner was first put forward in a poem published in 1791 by
Erasmus Darwin.
Edgar Allan Poe presented a similar cyclic system in his 1848 essay titled
Eureka: A Prose Poem; it is obviously not a scientific work, but Poe, while starting from metaphysical principles, tried to explain the universe using contemporary physical and mental knowledge. Ignored by the scientific community and often misunderstood by literary critics, its scientific implications have been reevaluated in recent times.
According to Poe, the initial state of matter was a single "Primordial Particle". "Divine Volition", manifesting itself as a repulsive force, fragmented the Primordial Particle into atoms. Atoms spread evenly throughout space, until the repulsive force stops, and attraction appears as a reaction: then matter begins to clump together forming stars and star systems, while the material universe is drawn back together by gravity, finally collapsing and ending eventually returning to the Primordial Particle stage in order to begin the process of repulsion and attraction once again. This part of Eureka describes a Newtonian evolving universe which shares a number of properties with relativistic models, and for this reason
Poeanticipates some themes of modern cosmology.
