[QUOTE="Ophiolite, post: 74616595, member: 234799"] I apologise for lack of clarity in my posts. To be clear, I was not suggesting, would never suggest, never have suggested and abhor the suggestion that man is all knowing. The reverse is true. However man - with an intellect gifted by God, if you believe in God - has demonstrated the ability through commitment, logic, observation, hypothesis formation, experimentation and other forms of testing, to gain deep insights into the nature of the universe. There are three broad categories associated with the Big Bang Theory 1. Big Bang Theory itself. A theory that has thus far passed every test, is acknowledged as by far the most probable explanation for a vast range of observations by thousands of scientists directly involved in such research, and by tens of thousands more with sufficient education to evaluate their findings. 2. There are handful of speculations and minor hypotheses that lack substantial support and are generally refuted, or at least contradicted by one or more established findings. 3. There are fanciful explanations lacking detail, evidence, support, logic or any form of validation, promoted by individuals with no training, or natural ability in the application of the scientific method. Now which of these categories of explanation would make sense to you? Let me put it another way. Imagine you have a serious medical condition that requires surgery. Do you 1. Go to an established surgeon at a well run, up-to date, professionally equipped hospital? 2. Go to a pre-med student who dropped out of college, but says he has some books on the subject. 3. Go to the neighbourhood car mechanic who says he is pretty sure there is nothing wrong with you. It seems you favour Option 3 in at least the first instance. No. I said to reject the findings of thousands of scientists who have actually investigated the matter is foolish, pointless and irrelevant. Irrelevant, because your rejection of Big Bang Theory will not change reality. Pointless, because your rejection of Big Bang Theory will be ignored by those who are properly informed about the theory. Foolish, because it is Option 3 in the examples presented above. Do you really want me to praise you for ignoring the work of thousands of intelligent, committed, sincere, hard working individuals just because it doesn't sit well with you? Do you really think I should say that such an action on your part is a sensible one? Do you truly want me to lie to you and pretend your rejection is sound? I don't do lies. Not on something this important. [/QUOTE]
