Here's something interesting that invalidates the view that redshift is purely a distance/speed relation.

The big bang is a theory and not proven scientific fact so your response is retarded.
When will you morons grow up and realize that they can't prove it is correct yet you tout it around as if it is fact
(thats why it is called a theory kids just a fyi)


Since the religious seem to be born with the inability to understand the definition of Scientific Theory; I'll once again explain it for you.

Quote
1.
a coherent group of general propositions used as principles of explanation for a class of phenomena: Einstein's theory of relativity.
2.
a proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural, in contrast to well-established propositions that are regarded as reporting matters of actual fact.
3.
Mathematics . a body of principles, theorems, or the like, belonging to one subject: number theory.
4.
the branch of a science or art that deals with its principles or methods, as distinguished from its practice: music theory.
5.
a particular conception or view of something to be done or of the method of doing it; a system of rules or principles.
6.
contemplation or speculation.
7.
guess or conjecture.


You See, 1 and 2 is what is classified as an scientific theory. 6 and 7 is what your talking about, or the everyday use of the word Theory. Before commenting on science, take your head out of your bible and learn something useful. Your ignorance is laughable.

Also included below is a picture, in case you fail to understand the definitions provided.

This post absolutely reeks of science 101 fail.

All you've managed to demonstrate is that you don't know or understand the meaning of a scientific theory.

A theory is an explanation of observable facts. They are mutually exclusive. A theory can never become a fact, and this is why you fail.

When we let go of an apple, it falls to the earth 100% of the time. This observation is a fact. The Theory of Gravity is the best supported / tested explanation for this fact.

Our universe is expanding. This observation is a fact. Big Bang Theory is the best supported / tested explanation for this fact.

So begins the countdown to backpedaling.


You do realize the word theory is derived from a greek word that is a reference to speculation and conjecture right?
I smell language fail 101
Your same argument can be used to explain the existence of God so I will wait for you to be the one to back pedal.
For the record, The word fact can refer to verified information about past or present circumstances or events which are presented as objective reality. In science, it means a provable concept.[1]
When you learn the difference between theory and fact let me know.

ps. Bolded you proving my point kid.

In regards to this creaton. Not once did I say anything about religion so stop trying to change the subject as if I had made the reference before the previous post.
I love how if you don't agree with these idiots they immeditly decide to try and make your argument religious in some way.
You Sir fail so next time I suggest you keep your mouth shut to avoid looking even more retarded.

Take out the bits about religion, and his post is 100% correct. Just like he said (and I said in post #32), you have no understanding of how science works. With your lack of understanding of science and distrust of scientists, you can't blame a guy for thinking you're painfully religious.

Where did i mention Creation? How did i try and make it religious in any way? Is your reading comprehension that poor?

Lol'd hard at italics. The "its just a theory" "argument" you're trying to push is just stupidity bordering on retardation.

Next time ill try to provide moar pictures.

Wouldn't be surprised tbh, but the "its just a theory" argument always causes me rage. :(

You still don't understand which is incredible. You're using "theory" in the layman's sense, as in "you have a theory on where the tv controller might be" and not the scientific sense. Science doesn't just produce theories randomly stick it to anything. Science first produces a testable hypothesis. That hypothesis is then tested against the evidence with no expected results because the results will have to be derived. If the hypothesis is supported by the evidence, and can withstand the brutal scrutiny of the scientific community it will become a theory until an even more well-supported theory steps in and takes over. Just as with Germ Theory, the Theory of Gravity,and Theory of Evolution, etc, the Big Bang is so well supported it is (in layman's terms) essentially regarded as fact.

By suggesting that the big bang was, "Nothing. Which exploded." You've demonstrated that you don't even understand the very basics of the Big Bang.

By saying that the BB is "Just a theory, not a fact" demonstrates that you don't even understand the basic meaning of a scientific theory.

You are in no position to be offering input in this thread what so ever.
