We Live in a Puff of Smoke
Matthew 24:30a
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn
Classical evolutionary cosmology has the universe coming into being through a giant explosion of matter and energy called the Big Bang. The question that modern physics has struggled with for years asks whether there is enough mass in the universe to cause it to stop expanding at some point. Would the universe begin to collapse in on itself at some time in the future only to produce a second Big Bang?
In 1997, researchers announced that not only is the universe expanding, but also it is expanding faster now than it was shortly after its creation! The finding was based on the fact that very distant exploding stars are much dimmer than expected. After more than two years of further research and dozens of observations, scientists are beginning to agree that the universe's apparent expansion is increasing. Researchers' inability to explain why has led them to conclude that they don't have a theory about the universe that works. One researcher referred to this problem as "the biggest embarrassment" in modern physics.
So next time you hear a scientist speaking with certainty about the Big Bang, the age of the universe, or how it might end, you will know that, in truth, such certainty does not exist in the halls of science. For all they know, the universe could keep expanding until it dissipates like a puff of smoke. But we know from the Bible that the universe will end when our Creator returns to take those who trusted in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior home to a new and perfect Heaven and Earth.
Prayer: Dear Lord, help me to be prepared for Your return. Amen.

just read a book.. starseed transmission. It states all vibrational systems expand and the contract. Time will stop at this point briefly. It is what the mayans predicted at 2012 , the hindus and other legends call it the second coming and return of the gods. This does not happen at once throughout universe but travels like a wave. A wave of non time. What u think?

The increased speed of expansion of the universe is explained by the repulsive properties of dark matter, which is theorized to occupy up to 85% of the universe.

The problem with this notion is, everything physically connected to the universe, IS PART OF that same universe. That's not playing with definitions, that's simply the way they these words are defined.
And sorry, but there is not a single shred of evidence to even suggest that there is a creator in the first place. All you claim is that nothing can achieve motion without an outside force, which is simply untrue. If something is unstable, it doesn't need an outside force to be put into motion.

I said: "Nothing can achieve motion or change direction without being acted upon by an outside force."
You replied: "I'm not so sure about the validity of this claim,"
I have no doubt that you are unsure about the scientific laws.
Real science points to the Creator and this interferes with the religious beliefs of some. So, they try to deny real science and even try to deny scientific laws.

""Something" can't set "Everything in motion because by default this "Something" is part of "Everything"."
Not if this something is not part of everything. "Something" is a very general word. Could mean anything in particular.
"Everything" means everything.
You are trying a very common tactic. You don't control definitions.
Again you suggest that matter causes itself to be put into motion. That goes against the laws of physics.

That's quite a stretch. "Something" can't set "Everything" in motion because by default this "Something" is part of "Everything". A matter maker is no solution because it introduces the problem of infinite regression. So sorry, it's not really THAT simple.
"Nothing can achieve motion or change direction without being acted upon by an outside force."
I'm not so sure about the validity of this claim, though I can't really give you a quick answer on this.

"I don't know what outside force you're suggesting..."
I am glad that we agree that something set everything in motion. That is a good starting place.
I like to say it this way:
Nothing can achieve motion or change direction without being acted upon by an outside force. So, somebody gave us the gas for this lawnmower.
Also, matter can't create itself. A Matter Maker made the matter.
It really is that simple.

Well apparently there's a beginning of time and I haven't really seen a lot of scientists disagree about that. What happened between t=0 and t=10e-43 seconds is something that we're not sure about though. I don't know what outside force you're suggesting to or part of which theory that is.

"There can't be an infinite amount of time behind us, is this such a disputed issue?
You'd be surprised.
People don't want there to be a beginning. If the universe is winding down, then that means that something wound it up.
But science can interfere with the religious views of some evolutionists. They don't like where the evidence points to.
Nothing in the universe can achieve motion or change direction without being acted upon by an outside force. And everything is in motion.

Seeing as time has a starting point; t=0
There can't be an infinite amount of time behind us, then again, is this such a disputed issue? I thought that 13,5-14 billion year age of the universe was pretty much accepted by now.
