No incongruity unless it's on your part. You do not have sources and I've demonstrated you are a science
hypocrite when we discussed the universe expanding FTL. We both concluded that nothing can travel FTL in the universe.
Yet, big bang hypothesis has cosmic expansion which have objects traveling FTL in a universe that was just created microseconds before.
That's not all. Your:
"Red shift, cosmic background radiation, Friedmann's solutions to Einstein's field equations and the Second Law of Thermodynamics tells us that space and time did have a beginning. If the universe is expanding then it must have a beginning. If you follow it backwards in time, then any object must come to a boundary of space time. You cannot continue that history indefinitely. This is still true even if a universe has periods of contraction. It still has to have a beginning if expansion over weights the contraction. Physicists have been uncomfortable with the idea of a beginning since the work of Friedman which showed that the solutions of Einstein's equation showed that the universe had a beginning. The problem with a cyclical universe is with the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. For every matter to energy or energy to matter exchange there is a loss of usable energy. So while the total energy of the universe does not decrease, the usable energy of the universe does decrease. If it is a periodic or cyclical universe then the entropy will increase with each cycle. The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics is a fundamental law of nature which tells us that entropy can only increase or stay the same. Entropy can never decrease. Which means that in a finite amount of time, a finite system will reach a maximum state of disorder which is called thermal equilibrium and then it will stay in that state. A cyclical universe cannot avoid this problem. Since we do not see thermal equilibrium, we know that the universe did have a beginning."
has no foundation. Where is your source for space and time beginning? How do
you explain the items you mentioned?
OTOH, I had a
cosmology for the beginning. It debunked whatever convoluted cosmology the above is describing. I was ready to start discussing the
astrophysics, some of which you mentioned, but you can't get past questions that I've already answered. Besides, you do not answer questions that I asked you. You are incapable. What else am I suppose to conclude. I provided the cosmology that debunked your argument above and explained how spacetime came into being. I can't help it if you can't read or watch someone else's arguments.
