@KeistasZmogelis I don't think the Big Bang theory actually says anything about what was there before that singularity. I think it only concerns what happened as the singularity expanded and what that led to.
@shrikechan There is no such thing as "before the singularity", as the big bang is the start of time. David shouldn't have said that there was nothing at the beginning, as there is no scientific theory on where the singularity came from. Dunno if it's true, but I heard that "nothing" is impossible.
@NigelBraddock this doesn't really disprove creationism. creationists could say that a God created that superheated particle, since it apparently sprang out of nothingness. To be honest, I'd have to agree with them.
@taylorip23 There are more than two ideas about what was before that singularity. The idea that an ultimate being willed it into existence is just one idea, and it isn't a very well developed idea because it only leads to the very obvious question of where in the hell that supreme being came from. If an unintelligent singularity requires an intelligent creator, then surely that intelligent creator demands it's own intelligent creator. There are other ideas which do not ask that this be the case.

Not very inspiring he presents its like evangelical priest .... There was nothing before 13.7 billion years...wow he seems to know too much. Bullshit!!!
God does NOT exist. "Cause and Effect" may be forcing the idea that even if the Big Bang created the universe, something MUST of caused it or it wouldn't be logical. ANSWER: Before the Big Bang, time did not exist, no time means cause and effect does not exist, no time also means there is no God to exist in. All the energy and matter was simply in idle state. The big bang then spontaneously exploded from a focus point and only then TIME BEGAN and CAUSE AND EFFECT began. God Does Not Exist
By using the quotations, it keeps me from being misunderstood because you know exactly what I'm referring to when I say something. Plus it removes all possibility of someone saying "I didn't say that" when you catch them in their own words, and it can keep the conversation organized even if it breaks off into a lot of different threads.
"there must have been a supernatural force to even create dat small spark"
What the hell are you talking about? Evolution has been happening for billions of years. YOU have 150 proofs that evolution happens just in your DNA because about 150 base pairs won't match your mother or your father's DNA.
We've observed evolution happen hundreds of times in the lab and in nature, free of super natural forces. Your assertion is a lie, and everyone who has studied biology knows that.
@KemaTheAtheist YOU BOTH NEED TO SHUT THE FUCK UPPPPPP THIS GUY IS THE ONLY ONE THAT KNOWS WHAT GOING ON SO STOP TRYING TO SOUND SMART FUCKKKKKKKKING MORONS
"STOP TRYING TO SOUND SMART FUCKKKKKKKKING MORONS"
You need to take care in who you're calling a moron, because I have a Master's Degree from Johns Hopkins. Somehow I doubt you have the equivalent or better.
@KemaTheAtheist WELL IF YOU HAVE A DEGREE THEN WHAT ARE YOU DOING SITTING ON YOUTUBE FIGHTING WITH SOME RANDOM KID ahahaha pathetic go ask for more hours at your job or somethin you goon

I would laugh, but when you're stupid enough to attempt to insult someone for getting an education, all I can do is feel pity. You will go through life and miss out on every single amazing thing simply because you never took the time to understand it.
"do you believe that all of universe and creation started from the Big Bang?"
Yes.
"im 100% sure that u cant think of one single way a spark cud start from nothin"
I don't need to now how it happened, just that is DID. Evidence of red shift, CMBR, and much more proves that it DID happen even if we're not sure how. Virtual particles and quantum fluctuation and other hypotheses show some evidence that they might be true, which is infinitely more than your deity has.
2.) It's an argument from personal incredulity because you're basing your argument on the premise that the Big Bang must have come from nothing or it was God. It's not the one thing, therefore it's God. What if the Big Bang has some other "spark" that's NOT caused by a deity? Who says that spark has to be a deity? That's the problem with your argument: it only works if you ignore all natural possibilities.
"So all you have left to believe is that there is another great force at work."
And here's your argument from personal incredulity and false dichotomy.
1.) Even if you proved science wrong, that doesn't mean that it's God. Just because you can't think of other options doesn't mean there's only two. You would only prove science has that part wrong, not that a deity exist. And, you still have to prove a, and specifically *your*, deity exists.
"So the whole concept of the big bang and all that crap contradicts itself genius."
So your explanation that a deity capable of creating universes popping into existence is better? We have evidence and educated guesses based on observations of quantum fluctuation, Hawking radiation, and the like. You have an argument from personal incredulity.
“Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth has been made clear from falsehood. Whoever rejects false worship and believes in Allaha has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that never breaks. And Allah hears and knows all things.” (Quran 2:256)
We all know that the substance of what is being said in Big History is true, there may be degrees of correctness to data but we know we exist because of what came before. What a relief to have someone tell it like it is so we can all take responsibility for taking care of each other and our planet.
@JungleJargon Not really....I thought that was what was going on...but it was just a poor example. It's not against the law if complexity is taking place on a planet while entropy is advancing in the universe. He just gave a almost incomprehensible explanation.
@sixtiksix Observable function = a Maker of that function.
If an arrowhead that is a stone that has function and has a Maker, then the hydrogen ion pumps and motors that manufacture ATP in a way that we don't even know how so that we can live also has a Maker.
@JungleJargon I guess if you limit your reasoning to arrowheads then everything has to have a maker. There's really no reason to speculate since some of us already know the answer to everything.....because it says so in the bible. Surely, hydrogen had a "maker" because so did my alarm clock. And things just can't exist on their own without a maker because that would mean that it is beyond our comprehension and that's not possible, just like god killing babies for sport.....totally logical.
@sixtiksix No, there are other examples of things that have makers and you need to see that the issue is not about "complexity" it is about (intended) function. The ion pumps and driven motors that make ATP in fact do exceed our understanding but we can still see the result of what the function is. The result is that we are living because of the ATP that is manufactured inside of us.
God never killed babies for sport. That is unjust slander. God is much more patient than we are.
@JungleJargon Can't slander something that's not there...but it's interesting you know all about his character...so it goes beyond finding an arrowhead...you know if he is patient or not, his sexual habits and what he thinks about people like me....all this and logic too....you're the total package. It's not a question of complexity...it's a question of an invisible man that gives you moral authority over someone like myself that likes to say fuck a lot....and constantly slanders dog...er, god
@JungleJargon I am exactly addressing the issue. The issue is at the moment, no one knows the origin of a lot of things, but you claim to. That IS the issue. How can you possibly know anything about a maker if I don't. You are the victim of your own bullshit. Don't feel bad, it happens to all of us. You are not bringing my attention to anything. You are justifying your fears by examining your faith in front of the world because you doubt, as you should the complete nonsense that it is.
@sixtiksix I am obligated to let people know what the facts are. That is my motivation. It is good for everyone just like prayer and Bible reading in schools are. That is besides the point.
The point is that objects do not do things without being ordered and layers of sediments do not fall from the sky.
@JungleJargon You're obligated by your ego, youthful arrogance and your fear. The bible is a monumental farce. And that is the main point. No scientists think anything fell from the sky. And the sediments prove that two of every animal was in a giant boat with a crazy old codger? It's OK to believe in Santa, but eventually you realize the shit came from China. christianity is all about looking out for number one...I am going to heaven, I am saved, everyone else is going to Hell....
@JungleJargon I am not projecting....I am receiving.....two scoops....christian teaching is about going to hell if you think for yourself. And let's face it the flood means all the critters were on the boat, and the guy lived in the fish and the water turned to wine and Santa came down the chimney. Saying I am projecting is ridiculous. christianity is the ultimate in arrogance, ego and fear....one does not have to dwell in this world to point it out. So save the banter and focus. your turn
@transtlantic The salts come from the earth. Rain water frees the salts and they end up in the ocean and the flood itself also freed up a lot of salt.
Actually, it is a know fact that over irrigation destroys the land with salts.
salt is a mineral. it doesn't appear out of nowhere. if there were salt in the earth plants wouldn't grow. that's why there are no trees at the beach. the salt at the quantities that exist in the ocean kills the organisms from land.
rain water doesn't contain salt, that's why you can use it to drink and even to sustain earth plants.
actually...it's a known fact that over irrigation doesn't have any salts.
@transtlantic All earth and drainage water from the earth has salts in it. It is a known proven scientific fact.
Rain water does not have salt and that is the reason it is better for the ground than irrigation.
Once rain water comes into contact with the earth, it frees up and carries the salts to the ocean.
Egypt has this problem with over irrigated land that is too salty. You can actually see the white salt crystals that form on top of the soil when it is severe.
earth the planet? or earth as in dirt? dirt isn't water. you can have water in the middle of dirt. salts are minerals. when diluted they are not in their solid state. and the quantity of salt in rivers is not the same as in the oceans. it is a known proven scientific fact.
if the earth had salts, there would be no life in it, that's why you find no trees at the beach. stands to reason. as salt kills ground life.
so...i proved, clearly, that the biblical flood didn't happen.
@transtlantic There are still large reserves of fresh water underground. The flood waters were not made up of saltwater as we see the oceans today. The more time goes by, the saltier the oceans become.
The water run off does contain salts and over irrigation does destroy land. It is a real problem in places like California.
fresh water underground major cause is natural drainage of water from the top to down.
actually it's the opposite... the more time goes by the saltier the oceans become. it's a fact. that proves you wrong, once again.
what were the flood water made of then? as if it covered the globe, salt dilutes and when it went away the salt would form a uniform layer. there is no such layer, therefore the biblical flood never happened.
@transtlantic Over irrigation does make the land salty. Look it up so it doesn't make you look so bad. They have issues with irrigation in dry places like Egypt and California.
The flood waters were not nearly as salty and salt washes away. The cause of the flood was rain and water from underground neither of which is salty.
@transtlantic You have already had plenty of time to look up the irrigation problems in Egypt and California that makes the land salty.
The flood waters were not nearly as salty as the oceans are today because rain comes from the sky and does not have salt and the water from underground is fresh water and does not have very much salt.
Over thousands of years of rain and springs running to the oceans and the water in the oceans evaporating will make the oceans salty.
the irrigation problems you mention precisely prove the impossibility for a world wide flood.
rain falling down from the sky can't flood the entire planet, that is a physicial impossiblity. water from underground going up would become salty. and again: no uniform layer of salt, therefore no world wide flood.
the oceans are already salty, that's why there are no trees at the beach, moron. and the fresh water isn't salty. that's why you can drink it.
@transtlantic Did you look up irrigation problems to see how wrong you are about salt getting into the ocean?
The water that came up from underground was fresh water with very little salt in it and the rain water had no salt in it. There were no mountains at the time so it was not hard to flood the entire earth. The mountains were pushed up after the flood as they are still being pushed up as we speak.
@transtlantic The ocean floor is always on the bottom. Tell me why so many invertebrates are preserved as fossils when ordinarily they would rot. Everything was buried at the time of the flood and there was not enough oxygen for them to rot.
watch?v=fE8VO6z4tcg ...note the invertebrate fossils.
There is no evidence of anything ever being other than what it is.
Why do fish swim only in water? Lemurs were able to survive only in Madagascar.
the ocean floor actually rises up. as seen with vulcanoes, for example, that create islands. there are many processes of fossilization. if there is a quick formation of sediments an invertrebate fossil can happen. basic knowledge. learned at highschool.
where's the evidence for the flood? "everything was"? how do you know? evidence?
oxygen exists for more than 2 billion years in a significant % as atmosphere. ofc there was enough to rot.
Things don't order themselves. That's what he said. What he would NOT say is the other observation: That order arises from design. That's what we observe. Then he said "But we see complexity all around us." Obviously, to a child, it's logical to conclude a designer. He says, "How do we get things so complex?" His answer @ 2:45 was: "They just appear." He just believes (against logic) there's no designer. Note: He BELIEVES it. This is SO hilarious, I think I need to write a review of it.
I think the syllabus he is talking about is a vital idea. I had no idea about the scale of human impact until I did the Big History course. Now when people in the media argue against global warming I think 'Mate, you have no idea.' The world wasn't made for 7 billion people, over half of which are too uneducated to realise that having as many children as possible is not a good thing...I worry about what happens when these people outnumber the educated.
What a wonderful universe....even if humanity does screw up this planet the odds of there not being another race out there (or could eventually be) are astronomical.
I look forward to what humanity might accomplish one day.
I only hope religion doesn't stand in the way too much before it goes the way of the dinosaurs.
@crashpilot2 this is so confusing, am dealing with 2 people in this thread whilst watching Ratatouille (apparently the young chef looks like Zuckerberg). @CrashPilot Maybe NASA should start using the sales/license/patent money instead of begging the tax payers. This age calculation of the universe sounds dubious. They just discovered some missing mass of the universe (an australian intern chick did that). I wonder how long b4 they say the universe is older than predicted?
@crashpilot2 Thanks but how can they possibly know about the start of everything, if that's even the case? How do you even carbon date such an event? For me it's like NASA coming up with claims of water on the moon and asking for funding to go dig it up...
@PhantomAct: You can't "carbon date" the big bang. In fact, carbon dating is only good for organig things no older than ~50,000 years.
The way scientists can tell the age of the universe is by determineing how far away the furthest stars are. Since the speed of light is a constant, the farther away a star is, the older it is.
@Killersepp but since the universe is infinitely big, how do they know they are looking at the furthest star? Maybe that star is just blocking view for another older star and so on and so forth, right?
mm no your thinking space follows some kind of line..They can measure the star's distance based on the lights traveling distance....at some point there ceases to be stars and in fact there is only gas ( the beginning of the big bang) This is how we know we have reached the starting point of the universe.
@inquiry10 "Too complex" haha, i heard that before. Politicians use that same rhetoric when they don't understand something but want the people to believe that they do. Were you given a proof of TBBT or did u gullibly accept it... like the other sheeples?
if the big bang theory was true, then why is still a theory? my alternative theory is that those jackass physicists came up with an unverifiable theory because they needed funding to pay for their food and rent....
It's a lovely talk. Unfortunately, he doesn't really answer the paradox he poses of how complexity can increase (for us on earth) by making it clear that locally added energy (say, from a sun), allows for local increases in complexity.
First of all, he kinda misquotes the second law: It doesen't talk about *complexety* but about *order*. The you universe was *highly* orderly. Secondly, nothing permitts local increases in order - it's the general order of the universe that decreases over time.
Am I the only person who's always thought on these terms? lol. Never mind all of the thermodynamics contradictions and metaphor I think he's right about using the exploded view as a tool at least that's what I do with my kids but I wouldn't wait until high school, my oldest is 7 and he already knows this history as shown.
He talks a lot of nonsense about how complexity doesn't occur naturally, then he goes on to explain how complexity occurs naturally. Then I stopped listening.
Also he made up his own law of thermodynamics and pretended it was the second law.
The second law of THERMODYNAMICS has nothing to do with complexity is deals with energy transfer! READ IT! For example what is more complex structure ice or steam? I can solve the crystal structure of ice, but not steam. which has the greater entropy?
Imagine if we could end superstition. We could do so much more, learn so much more. We could be in stars by now if religions had died out 100 years ago.
You said atheist claim that your lives are short and unimportant, why don't you kill yourself? Then you'll know for sure, soo for now, stop bitching and preaching your conditioned opinion. If people believe in god, Jesus, scientology, your mums anus? Let them! In the end if there happy. That's all that matters.
During hypoxia that is induced involuntarily and causes unconsciousness leaves the brain able to function to some degree because hypoxia is NOT a complete deprivation of oxygen to the brain. That is Anoxia. Plus, CPR and other lifesaving measure provide some more oxygen to the brain.
You need a FOUNDATIONAL EDUCATION, you're still sold into atheism. Normally the brain processes 1/2 a trillion bits of information each moment, how many do you need to have a hallucination do you suppose?
"I got a little choked up and I don't know why."
A true understanding of our origins does that to everyone. I get the same way listening to Carl Sagan's monologues and when Neil deGrasse Tyson talks about how everything is connected biologically, chemically, or atomically, and then says "This makes me want to grab people on the street and scream, "Have you heard this?!"
it's because we come from nature. we are made of nature. we are nature, and nature is us..when u gain such an understanding of it, and have a great speaker like this to present that knowledge to u so beautifully, it's quite a tug to the heart strings. it's essentially learning about your own history, and your family and friends history. the history of the world and everything on it. we're connected to it.
... Do you understand the scientific method? I'm not saying that the Big Bang and expanding universe is the correct answer, but all of our current evidence (for 50+ years) points to that. If all of our evidence points to something, then we can assume it is the truth until a better hypothesis comes along.
Do you have any evidence for a hypothesis (NOT theory) other than the big bang?
This fellow tells us what happened 13.75 billion years ago as if he actually knows the universe was the size and shape of a mung bean. That is a good one. He is handing us a picture of the unseen universe. Isn't that what religious freaks do? Were is the honest curiosity? These are all theories, folks. Theories. Here is a theory. Here is another theory. When we get telescopes to see beyond the know universe we may see something entirely different.
This word does not mean what you think it means... Unfortunately, stupid people have turned the colloquial use of the word "theory" to mean what scientists call a hypothesis. Scientific theories such as the speaker here use it for the real definition: an explanation for a natural phenomena which based on observation and FACT.
BTW, the BBT is undeniable fact. How it happend, we're not sure, but that it *did* is undisputable.
Our known universe is certainly not representative of the greater. We atheists are not that stupid. I suspect that the big bang theory will be shelved along with my eight-track tapes when the real origin of the universe is better known. We are so quick to replace religion with another religion. David Christian (whoever he is) is just another old man telling young people what to believe.
@dropintheforest You sound like a fairly intelligent person why would you admit to being an atheist? After only 8 days of release Dr. Jeffrey Long's Evidence of the Afterlife found it's way on to the best seller list. He provides dramatic proof of life after death incorporating 40 years of global research. Did you know there have been 15 MILLION cases of life after death in the US ALONE? Dean Radin Ph.d random number generator research over the last 60 years proves mind over matter 1,000,000:1
"After only 8 days of release Dr. Jeffrey Long's Evidence of the Afterlife found it's way on to the best seller list"
Argument ad populum... Logical fallacy. This doesn't make it true, just like the Bible being the most sold book of all time doesn't make it true either.
"He provides dramatic proof of life after death..."
Near death experiences are not proof of life after death any more than dreams of having sex with Angelina Jolie means you actually had sex with her.
@KemaTheAtheist Everything I've written here is absolute fact that can be determined by anyone with reasonable intelligence. Dr. Longs 9 lines of proof provide for INFINITY to 1 odds that life after death is real. The book is based on medical science research over the last 35 years in the field. Nothing is fallacious.
It's argumentum ad populum, appeal to the people. My point was that if one were so inclined to know the truth about anything it's as close as the NY Times Best Seller List.
"Everything I've written here is absolute fact that can be determined by anyone with reasonable intelligence. Dr. Longs 9 lines of proof provide for INFINITY to 1 odds that life after death is real."
ROFL.

"My point was that if one were so inclined to know the truth about anything it's as close as the NY Times Best Seller List. "
Dude, NDEs are a neurological phenomena. You don't get to use it to make the unwarrented leap that because people have NDEs, therefore there is an afterlife. Especially when, people who have religious NDEs tend to have experiences that fit perfectly with what they believe, even in contradiction to the experience of people with a different faith.
@KemaTheAtheist I answered your question without seeing it, but allow me to elaborate. When a person dies the first thing that happens is that their heart stops beating, hypoxia sets in, that's a lack of oxygen to the brain because the heart's not pumping blood and oxygen to it, within 20 seconds a person is OUT. The brain can no longer think, let alone have experiences that can be recounted. It's exactly NOT like a neuroloical phen. Do you understand what corroborated testimony is?

"do you believe that all of universe and creation started from the Big Bang?"
Yes.
"im 100% sure that u cant think of one single way a spark cud start from nothin"
I don't need to now how it happened, just that is DID. Evidence of red shift, CMBR, and much more proves that it DID happen even if we're not sure how. Virtual particles and quantum fluctuation and other hypotheses show some evidence that they might be true, which is infinitely more than your deity has.

2.) It's an argument from personal incredulity because you're basing your argument on the premise that the Big Bang must have come from nothing or it was God. It's not the one thing, therefore it's God. What if the Big Bang has some other "spark" that's NOT caused by a deity? Who says that spark has to be a deity? That's the problem with your argument: it only works if you ignore all natural possibilities.

"So all you have left to believe is that there is another great force at work."
And here's your argument from personal incredulity and false dichotomy.
1.) Even if you proved science wrong, that doesn't mean that it's God. Just because you can't think of other options doesn't mean there's only two. You would only prove science has that part wrong, not that a deity exist. And, you still have to prove a, and specifically *your*, deity exists.

Speaking of collective learning,
the function of hydrogen and derivatives working inside of life forms cannot be explained without having a Maker of that function.
No other function is without having a Maker and no other function is nearly as advanced as the nanotechnology utilized in life form.
It takes an immense amount of wisdom and understanding to make a biosphere of life forms.

@JungleJargon I guess if you limit your reasoning to arrowheads then everything has to have a maker. There's really no reason to speculate since some of us already know the answer to everything.....because it says so in the bible. Surely, hydrogen had a "maker" because so did my alarm clock. And things just can't exist on their own without a maker because that would mean that it is beyond our comprehension and that's not possible, just like god killing babies for sport.....totally logical.

@sixtiksix No, there are other examples of things that have makers and you need to see that the issue is not about "complexity" it is about (intended) function. The ion pumps and driven motors that make ATP in fact do exceed our understanding but we can still see the result of what the function is. The result is that we are living because of the ATP that is manufactured inside of us.

@transtlantic All earth and drainage water from the earth has salts in it. It is a known proven scientific fact.
Rain water does not have salt and that is the reason it is better for the ground than irrigation.
Once rain water comes into contact with the earth, it frees up and carries the salts to the ocean.

if the earth had salts, there would be no life in it, that's why you find no trees at the beach. stands to reason. as salt kills ground life.

@transtlantic You have already had plenty of time to look up the irrigation problems in Egypt and California that makes the land salty.
The flood waters were not nearly as salty as the oceans are today because rain comes from the sky and does not have salt and the water from underground is fresh water and does not have very much salt.
Over thousands of years of rain and springs running to the oceans and the water in the oceans evaporating will make the oceans salty.
JungleJargon 8 months ago
@JungleJargon
the irrigation problems you mention precisely prove the impossibility for a world wide flood.
rain falling down from the sky can't flood the entire planet, that is a physicial impossiblity. water from underground going up would become salty. and again: no uniform layer of salt, therefore no world wide flood.
the oceans are already salty, that's why there are no trees at the beach, moron. and the fresh water isn't salty. that's why you can drink it.
you keep failing. try again.
transtlantic 8 months ago
@transtlantic Did you look up irrigation problems to see how wrong you are about salt getting into the ocean?
The water that came up from underground was fresh water with very little salt in it and the rain water had no salt in it. There were no mountains at the time so it was not hard to flood the entire earth. The mountains were pushed up after the flood as they are still being pushed up as we speak.

Dude, NDEs are a neurological phenomena. You don't get to use it to make the unwarrented leap that because people have NDEs, therefore there is an afterlife. Especially when, people who have religious NDEs tend to have experiences that fit perfectly with what they believe, even in contradiction to the experience of people with a different faith.

@KemaTheAtheist I answered your question without seeing it, but allow me to elaborate. When a person dies the first thing that happens is that their heart stops beating, hypoxia sets in, that's a lack of oxygen to the brain because the heart's not pumping blood and oxygen to it, within 20 seconds a person is OUT. The brain can no longer think, let alone have experiences that can be recounted. It's exactly NOT like a neuroloical phen. Do you understand what corroborated testimony is?

"When a person dies the first thing that happens is that their heart stops beating"
No. A person dies when their brain tissue is damaged via hypoxia... that generally takes 6 minutes.
"within 20 seconds a person is OUT."
Unconscious is not the same as no brain function.
"It's exactly NOT like a neuroloical phen."
So you're telling me that all these peopel have a similar experience under hypoxia, and it's NOT neurologically related? ROFL.
