  • I can't disprove a lot of things. I can't disprove Santa Claus or the unicorn, but that doesn't mean that I have to believe it them. The responsibility for the evidence is on the one who is claiming it. Faith is believing in something without evidence, so what you are saying is you don't have any evidence.

  • Simon is brilliant...his book on 'Big Bang' is one of the best that I have read.

  • the moral of the story is...

    Be objective

  • Fail. :P

  • Fail.

  • Thumbs up if you replayed it to see if the first playthrough was the same.

  • i suggest people who are confused should read A Brief History Of Time by Stephen Hawkings, it kinda tells how scientists have come to make sense of the universe. but thats what science has been, theories set based on observations, so we can't help but trust a theory until something comes along that would make as much as sense. if u choose not to believe it, thats okay

  • he said that it was necessary to read along and then explain that it works because you read along... are you sure you heard anything? or was the whole thing in gibberish for you?

  • This is brilliant, and I think it was presented really well.

  • So, our instinct has its own history in the form perceptions?

  • You have totally dismissed the evidence of the big bang based on the CBMR and the predictions the BBT model suggests. These predictions where tested by COBE and produced such an agreement between theory and reality that both are statistically inidistiguishable

  • I don't get it. I was taught about the Big Bang Theory when I was in the 6th grade. I'm 40 now, and that's still what I think. What, were they wrong?
