This is freaking hilarious, this guy is like a guru to all the science freaks that believe that humans and animals all could have come from dirt.. sorry geeks I dont know the answers, no one does, but if it was true there would be life on the moon as well. The Christians theory of God has more credibility. The know it all wankers will sprout big bang this and that, but youre all believing some other idiots BS, at the least there's some evidence of events in the the bible, big bang is all theory.
There's emerging evidence that the big bang didn't happen. We have the red shift problem and the Hubble photo of a proto galaxy being ejected and fed matter by a black hole in the center of a galaxy. We may very well have a static universe which continues to expand as new galaxies are formed via the current vaguely understood system of black holes. I call it a system because according the picture a system of black holes create new galaxies by ejected perviously ingested matter.
Early humans just over a few thousands years ago managed to survive the big bang by using their pet dinosaurs as shields. This is why they went extinct.
This is one of those ones where it's just so funny I just can't laugh normally. I have to make lots of strange noises, some of which sound like animal noises. I'm still cackling, howling, and hoo-hoo-hooing as I type this. Then I read comments like the one about Xenu and they keep setting me off again. I hope I don't die from laughing too hard.
in my ever-flowing sarcasm, i could say that life did not arise until about 9.2 billion years after the big bang. but, of course, that's completely ridiculous. right?
Dude your a human being just like all of us and obviously you can't possibly have an answer to everything or else you would have to be God; about the big bang theory well, the TV show is cool but the theory it self hmmm... has anyone got it on video cuz I would love to see it?!!! lol
theres a simple answer to that question, and it is "i dont know" neither scienctist nor theist can prove with conclusive proof as to why such things are how they are, all they can do is make educated guess' in the case of scientists and philosophical guess' in the case of theists.
C'mon, EVERYONE knows that the Big Bang created God, and then after he was created, then he went and made the heavens and stuff, and then he rested and made Satan, and then atheists. EVERYONE know this, and its really a moot point to further debate it.
DP: You're a funny guy. Love your sarcasm, please keep up the good work.
i actually feel bad for those who make fun at this question... while the question might not be the best, it is however apparent that the Big Bang needed a first cause (God)... it's the only logical answer. (and remember, God is infinite silly savages!) (the Universe is not!)
so DP, you never answered my question... did you feel that you were contemplating God's existence when you almost died? or were you steadfast in your belief of the non-belief?
How is god the only logical answer? A little quick to jump to a conclusion you can't prove. Big Bang need a first cause(Gravity) that one fits better. How is something that is out of a realm of logic make something logical? The Universe is infinite. Who knows, there could be a cluster of other universes out there. Mind if we drop the religion and continue with the science and the advancing of the human race kthxbye
No it did not......okay what was gods first cause huh?
Wait don't tell me......he was always there. Right? Well if he was always there why couldn't the universe have always been there.
Gee I think I've heard this first cause garbage at least........hang on lemme recount this......carry the three.......imaginary number goes hurr.........somewhere around 57,685 times.
That video has far too many problems for me to list here, but even disregarding the ones that don't directly have anything to do with what I asked, it still does not demonstrate that how it is apparent that the big bang needs a "first cause" (whatever that even means). Stating that the universe must either have always existed or have been created by an "infinite" being with "intent" does not count. I seriously doubt you lack the imagination to conceive other possibilities.
yes, i do lack the Atheistic "imagination" to conceive of fallacious possibilities. the only answer that makes sense is God because we know that the Universe can't be infinite(which would mean that time is infinite, which would mean that it doesn't exist).
you have no answer but to flippantly dismiss any ideas presented for God... you have nothing... but i guess "nothing" is what you want huh?
What? So now imagination is atheistic? In that case, viva atheism.
Let me get this straight. Your claim is that either the universe is infinite (presumably in the temporal sense specifically, but you haven't really clarified that) or it was intentionally created by a conscious being of some sort that is infinite (again, presumably in the temporal sense). Those are the only two possibilities. Also, the first possibility is actually impossible, so that leaves us with only one. That about right?
1. How do you know that those are the only two possibilities? And having a deficient imagination doesn't cover this. You don't need to think of other possibilities to realize that the two you did think of might not be the only ones.
2. How is temporal infinity even necessary?
3. How is temporal infinity impossible when applied to the universe/reality/all creation/everything/whatever?
4. How is a conscious being exempt from whatever makes temporal infinity impossible?
1a. "Scientist say so" is an argument from authority and you don't even state who the authority is. What "scientist" are you talking about and how does this person come to this conclusion?
1b. Fascinating! It's as though you have reading comprehension and as though you don't have reading comprehension at the same time. I mean, you do seem to be responding to what I said, but you also respond with something I had JUST addressed. Being able to think of two possibilities does not preclude others.
-Spacetime originated with the big bang. So time is finite. No, there is no "before the big bang."
-A conscious, finite entity intentionally created the universe. Before that, who knows?
-The universe is not is temporally finite, but it is a property, absent sentience or intent, of whatever was there before that the universe would form.
-A conscious, infinite entity created the universe WITHOUT intent, perhaps as a consequence of trying to do something else.
1a. i'll remember that when you present something that Scientists say that supports your position.
1b.
1c. a. i agree! your best answer!!!! b. that's not an answer to the question c. cop-out (why don't you just believe in God if you would even entertain that concept?) d. that is misplaced intent, and still God e. joke
-You assume that I don't. I haven't called myself an atheist. But as for the actual point and not your sidetracking, what, other than your own fiat, makes the "god did it" more likely?
-Your dichotomy included intent. Either drop intent or this still violates your dichotomy.
2. This MIGHT work with children, people whose paychecks you sign, and people at whom you are waving a gun. I am in none of those categories. Do you really think that answering a "how" question with "because it is" works? Come on.
3. I thought "infinite" here meant temporally infinite. You can't have something be temporally infinite and simultaneously argue that time cannot be infinite. The two are incompatible.
4a. No, no, no. "God" means different things to different people. YOU define "god."
4b. I am guessing that your definition of "god" will include "infinity" somehow. Proposing a nebulous concept to solve a problem (real or imaginary) and defining your concept so that it is, by default, the solution explains nothing whatsoever and constitutes begging the question. I could just as easily say that the universe came about through Fadamaqistrob, which I define as the "infinite" process by which the universe formed.
1c(part deux). And just for kicks, her are some more...
-Infinite time with universe undergoing a cycle of big bangs and big crunches.
-Finite universe, infinite multiverse.
-Universe is a simulation.
-Infinite regression of finite creators.
-The universe is a byproduct from a non-sentient engine built by an entire committee of temporally infinite beings that are unaware the universe even exists.
doode brah, none of your answer are any different than the two i presented in the beginning.. they may -seem- different, but they are just sub categories to "the Universe is infinite"
there is no false dichotomy with saying that God is infinite, because if He lives outside of our Universe, and is GOD (spiritual) then He has to be infinite... if He isn't eternal, then He isn't "God".
What? Really? Do you have selectively poor reading comprehension or are you just not even bothering to look at them because you think you already know that you're right? I mean, with the very first possibility I stated, the universe is necessarily finite. Some of the others make it pretty clear too.
And quit playing games with vague words. You still haven't defined "god." Now you're throwing out other obfuscations with "spiritual" and "eternal." Define your terms.
Also, you don't seem to understand what a false dichotomy is. A false dichotomy is when two propositions are set up as the only possibilities when really there are other options that are neither of the two. This problem has nothing to do with whether it is tenable to say that "god is infinite." I am not making the "who created god?" argument that you seem to think you have rebutted (although actually your video didn't even do that). I am saying those are not the only two possibilities.
I don't have the answer to the big bang question, but maybe why we can't answer it. There might be a man made virus that blocks our minds from having rational and logical thoughts, and we may have caught it.
No wait that's called religion I guess I can't figure it out either, since your not religious, the truth must be there is a deity and I hope its ours(invisible pink unicorn), Wait atheism is a religion(so they say). We need a book to make our unicorn real so we can be right all the time too
Fuck... my entire life assuming there was a natural explanation... and one guy with his quick wit destrys my world view... hmmmm... Right I have come up with a solution... I have a large bag here with all the Gods and Goddesses I can remember.... I'm gonna pick one and stick to it!
Maybe the big bang did wipe out all life in the universe. I mean, not our universe. But another universe.
Perhaps at one time, before time had any meaning, something similar to what we call life existed in some mystery dimension outside of ours, and our universe expanded into it, wiping them out.
Oh no. It all makes sense now.
Creationists are correct. Only our universe didn't come into being as some glorious event. We are the product of a powerful WMD.
The dude obviously does not understand the concept of antimatter, and don't give me any shit Desertphile, by the way I am glad to see that you are (desert) well and in ripe form, peace
The explanation is, God said, "let there be light" because we weren't around to invent the clapper yet. And after he finished his big bang, he wiped his ass and flushed the singularity. We are coliform.
There's a simple, scientific answer to the question. I'm surprised you missed it. God protected all life during the big bang with a single one of his teardrops.
Whoops -- sorry. My proof included a division by zero. Never mind.
I wanted to here a GRAVITY! type answer, in the context of ABIOGENESIS!!!; but then somebody who'd ask a question like that wouldn't understand it, and this response was MUCH BETTER then what I was hoping for, LMFAO!
Bang=Conditions for Life=Life. If there was no life to begin with, HOW COULD IT HAVE BEEN DESTROYED?!!!!!! I had to say it for any creationists reading these comments. I love DP's ability to keep his tongue in cheek. Reminds me of edwardcurrent.
This question poses such a challenge to us evolutionists. The big bang would definitely have wiped life out, and yet here life is. That means evolution must be wrong. I guess we'd all better become creationists now that evolution is discredited. I mean, surely evolution cannot answer this conundrum. Yes indeed, we'd better abandon evolution. Because this question has demolished it, and by it, I mean evolution. Yeah, evolution is totally rendered useless now. Evolution. Evolution. Evolution.
Yup, I guess I'll have to accept Jesus into my heart now and start voting against gay marriage proposals. My atheism was good for as long as it lasted.
I read that question on your profile. Wow...how do you argue with someone so utterly stupid? This dude is a whole new level of inbred. I didn't know they existed anymore.
Sure, there's lots of them. These are the people who hand select what political candidates we're allowed to vote for.
Go read the bragging comment the narcissistic dimwit left on my channel. Only someone that authentically absent between the ears, has that much hubris.
Oh & he's still digging the hole deeper on DP's channel comments. Fighting the 12 year old above you, and losing badly.
I have an explanation. The great pasta serving dish of the FSM acted as a shield to protect those things living under it. All other life was obliterated leaving only TRUE life that was saved by his noodley magnificence. This was the geological epoch known as the Carbonaraferous.
Well, during the Blitz people in London used to go down into the tube stations to avoid the German bombing. Maybe that's what early life forms did at the time of the Big Bang. Good thing they heard the air raid siren.
But we all already know in our hearts there are gods. I mean, I don't know about you guys but the whole reason I joined the Church of Atheism is so that I can justify my amoral life style.
At my atheist school we covered this briefly.... I think it had something to do with richard dawkins going on some time travelling space mission that saved us all with a giant plasma shield he invented.... i cant remember the details......
I posed this question out loud in the local Atheist Reading Room and after an uncomfortable silence there was the sound of weeping, gnashing of teeth, and running feet. One fellow said, " I can't believe we didn't see this before ... why is there life if the big bang really happened, wouldn't everything be blown up? Well, there is nothing to do but throw oneself at the mercy of unseen and unknowable forces and try to placate them through pointless sacrifice and self-inflicted suffering! "
Life survived the Big Bang because God warned a 600 year old man, who put his family and 2 (or 7) of every animal on a wooden spaceship that he built and outflew it.
If you think of it with a very broad mind, it's a perfectly valid question. Practically every time there's a bang (in movies for instance) someone dies, unless it's a door banging. Therefore, it there was a real mother of a BIG bang (not a little one, like from a firecracker), it is reasonable to suppose that all life in the Universe would have ceased to exist. For a start, consider the decibels.
It is because Odin loves us so much, that he gave one of his only begotten sons to make the heavens crumble and the eart shake.
The only thing, that could go bang is the son's hammer, so there you have it, as it is written in the Edda.
Always remember: WWTD, What would Thor do?...
Repent now and maybe Odin bestows his grace upon you, so that you can join the chosen ones in the great hall, feasting and waiting for the last day and the glory in battle, that awaits...
I taught for a while, lesson plans hold things together, we falsely imagine that others know things we have explained it to others many times previously.
Education is the key IMO, it requires a society which invests in people, and not in myopic corp profits.
In Norway and Sweden they have high tax and best education, low crime, most equal and wealthy.
Not perfect, but it points a way out of the drudgery of markets and mayhem.
everybody knows that the universe started out as a tiny, compressed lump of human-goldfish-beet-girrafe-slug-dinosaur-AIDS, so the question makes perfect sense.
Its possible gods exist - just not in a spiritual sense as we have no proof of it. If highly evolved life forms ever pay us a visit, I'm sure they would appear godlike to us.
Sorry. I don't think I could answer that question. This will need to go on my list of unanswered questions, like; At a movie theater which arm rest is yours? Why do doctors leave the room when you change? They're going to see you naked anyway. Why is there a disclaimer on the Allstate Auto Insurance commericals that says "Not available in all states"? If girls with large breasts work at Hooters, then do girls with one leg work at IHOP? What does PU stand for (as in "PU, that stinks!")?
I always wondered (when I still tried to believe in God, i.e. as a child): why did God create everything? What was the reason for that? Why would he want everything to exist?
It couldn't be out of boredom: an almighty person would never be bored.
The question is indeed puzzling, besides trying to avoid the bang killing all life... we also have to make up a REASON for it... *sigh* I must now try to reason with god... or gods... this won't be a good day... *wink*
Oh, wow, oh dear, what on pluto was running through the guy's head when he decided to ask that? It has to be one of the most defunct questions of all time.
This is freaking hilarious, this guy is like a guru to all the science freaks that believe that humans and animals all could have come from dirt.. sorry geeks I dont know the answers, no one does, but if it was true there would be life on the moon as well.

Question: how can you "repent" if you have never "pented" in the first place.
The only meaning I know for "pent" is that it is the past particle of "pen" (to enclose in a fence or cage").
So, if you've been pent, I guess that means you been caged in.
Come to think of that, church sounds like an excellent place to go get pent all over again, to get re-pent.
Overall, getting either pent or re-pent doesn't exactly seem like something I'd care to do.

-The universe was created, with intent, by a finite being against the wishes of its infinite parent being.
-Universe formation is a byproduct of consciousness. Even now, we're all creating lots of universes without realizing it.
-The universe is a finite component of an infinite being.
-The universe is a finite component of an infinite, non-sentient system.
-The universe is a fractal algorithm.

I don't have the answer to the big bang question, but maybe why we can't answer it. There might be a man made virus that blocks our minds from having rational and logical thoughts, and we may have caught it.
No wait that's called religion I guess I can't figure it out either, since your not religious, the truth must be there is a deity and I hope its ours(invisible pink unicorn), Wait atheism is a religion(so they say). We need a book to make our unicorn real so we can be right all the time too

Maybe the big bang did wipe out all life in the universe. I mean, not our universe. But another universe.
Perhaps at one time, before time had any meaning, something similar to what we call life existed in some mystery dimension outside of ours, and our universe expanded into it, wiping them out.
Oh no. It all makes sense now.
Creationists are correct. Only our universe didn't come into being as some glorious event. We are the product of a powerful WMD.

The explanation is, God said, "let there be light" because we weren't around to invent the clapper yet. And after he finished his big bang, he wiped his ass and flushed the singularity. We are coliform.

There's a simple, scientific answer to the question. I'm surprised you missed it. God protected all life during the big bang with a single one of his teardrops.

This question poses such a challenge to us evolutionists. The big bang would definitely have wiped life out, and yet here life is. That means evolution must be wrong. I guess we'd all better become creationists now that evolution is discredited. I mean, surely evolution cannot answer this conundrum. Yes indeed, we'd better abandon evolution. Because this question has demolished it, and by it, I mean evolution. Yeah, evolution is totally rendered useless now. Evolution. Evolution. Evolution.

I posed this question out loud in the local Atheist Reading Room and after an uncomfortable silence there was the sound of weeping, gnashing of teeth, and running feet. One fellow said, " I can't believe we didn't see this before ... why is there life if the big bang really happened, wouldn't everything be blown up? Well, there is nothing to do but throw oneself at the mercy of unseen and unknowable forces and try to placate them through pointless sacrifice and self-inflicted suffering! "

Life survived the Big Bang because God warned a 600 year old man, who put his family and 2 (or 7) of every animal on a wooden spaceship that he built and outflew it.

If you think of it with a very broad mind, it's a perfectly valid question. Practically every time there's a bang (in movies for instance) someone dies, unless it's a door banging. Therefore, it there was a real mother of a BIG bang (not a little one, like from a firecracker), it is reasonable to suppose that all life in the Universe would have ceased to exist. For a start, consider the decibels.

It is because Odin loves us so much, that he gave one of his only begotten sons to make the heavens crumble and the eart shake.
The only thing, that could go bang is the son's hammer, so there you have it, as it is written in the Edda.
Always remember: WWTD, What would Thor do?...
Repent now and maybe Odin bestows his grace upon you, so that you can join the chosen ones in the great hall, feasting and waiting for the last day and the glory in battle, that awaits...
I'll pray for you...

The mind boggles.
I taught for a while, lesson plans hold things together, we falsely imagine that others know things we have explained it to others many times previously.
Education is the key IMO, it requires a society which invests in people, and not in myopic corp profits.
In Norway and Sweden they have high tax and best education, low crime, most equal and wealthy.
Not perfect, but it points a way out of the drudgery of markets and mayhem.
