pretty interesting how "big bang" theorists still manage to use a word naming space that also disproves the theory:
Universe
let's break this down, shall we?
the prefix in the word: Uni-.
Definition of Uni: prefix signifying one, once; as in uniaxial, unicellular. Uni is of Latin origion.
the main part of the word, Verse
Definition of verse: one line of poetry, Spoken sentence. Verse is also of latin origion.
Litterally, Universe means "one spoken sentence". What was that "one spoken sentence" that was spoken? Simple.
Genesis 1:3 says it clearly: ". . . Let there be light . . ."
The derivation of the
word universe disproofs the big bang theory?
huh?
So, all that must be done then, is giving the thing another name (let's use cosmos then!) and the disproof melts like snow under the sun...
hmmmmm....
So god explains it all, but how to explain god?
Just be giving something a name, and use it in whatever contexts as explaing it all, will not get us far, does it? It explains everything and at the sametime explains nothing at all. A rather contradictionary concept.
If we would change the name for the concept of "god" to "nature" would we then understand better how nature actually works?
I don't think so.
understanding is not giving things a name, and declare it to have all power.
And writing a verse like "let there be light" is not the same is creating the light or explaining where the light came from, what caused it, etc.
And besides that, the appearance of light was not the first thing to happen, although it might be we can't go further back then as to that event.
Actually there wasn't a first event, because there is only an ongoing process of natural events that has no begin or end.
Evolution theory and cosmology is just a scientific test case for explaining almost everything.
But perhaps it just should be stated that the universe probably wasn't a unique event, although we can never realy observe anything else but the phenomena we see in our universe.
There is a theory that can explain as to why the big bang happened, and explain how the universe looks, it's the theory of open or chaotic inflation.
The theory just states that such a thing was possible, and that once inflation starts, it will go on endlesly. No beginning of time, just an endless evolving process. It's a perfect explenation for the anthropic principle, the universe must be looking like this, else life wouldn't occur, and there were an infinite number of universes that happened before our universe came into being.
