I double checked - you're right according to a second source I found. I've never heard ram used to describe a male goat.It's actually both.
A ram is a male sheep or goat.

In this country a male goat is a 'buck' or a 'billy'.

Correct, that is true.It's actually both.

Ooh, things are different in Australia.I double checked - you're right according to a second source I found. I've never heard ram used to describe a male goat.

I hardly see how that is relevant.Friedmann was born into the Russian Orthodox church.
Quote from Wikipedia: Friedmann was baptized into the Russian Orthodox Church as an infant, and lived much of his life in Saint Petersburg.
But yes, most religions do have an origin story for the universe, I have to give you that. Seems that the 1920s was a turning point for astronomy.And yes, it is not the purpose for science to prop-up any religion, but it puts a smile on my face when science does support my faith. But hey, you do you, my friend.
It is not relevant, but it goes to show how Christians can be astronomers and vice versa.I hardly see how that is relevant.
Also friends with those of other beliefs...It is not relevant, but it goes to show how Christians can be astronomers and vice versa.
That is true. Lemaitre (Christian) was friends with Einstein, who was a Jew.Also friends with those of other beliefs...

That is true. Lemaitre (Christian) was friends with Einstein, who was a Jew.Cool guys, these two scientists.
Right now, I am trying to spread the Gospel to a Vietnamese computer programmer on Discord before I sign off, so I do not have time to discuss about science. But, I do like Einstein's equations.Einstein's equations can be found on chalkboards all over the Internet.
But he hid his religious beliefs so effectively, no one knows what he believed.
Typical academian.
Perhaps, but Big Bang theory says nothing about that.That is true, however, many scientists still think that the universe had a starting state, and there was nothing before it. About half of scientists believe in a higher power or God.
The statistics vary according to country and culture (and the particular study). For example, in a study of France, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Taiwan, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States, they found that religious affiliation tends to be higher than levels of belief and practice.There are scientists who believe in a cyclical universe, where the universe expands and contracts, infinitely, but I do not believe in a cyclical universe myself: What would this cyclic model of the universe mean for the Big Bang?

Interesting. (by the way, that is just my canned response for saying: you do you).Perhaps, but Big Bang theory says nothing about that.
The statistics vary according to country and culture (and the particular study). For example, in a study of France, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Taiwan, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States, they found that religious affiliation tends to be higher than levels of belief and practice.
"Nearly 10 percent of scientists in the US and UK—two countries at the core of the global science infrastructure—have “no doubt” that God exists, relative to one-quarter of scientists in India and two-thirds of scientists in Turkey. And a substantial proportion of scientists across these regional contexts pray and attend religious services regularly. Overall, a majority of scientists (more than half) in India, Italy, Taiwan, and Turkey identify as at least “slightly religious,” while such scientists are in the minority in France, Hong Kong, the US, and the UK."

I recommend using the word 'belief' with caution when talking about scientists' scientific views. It might be more accurate to say that many scientists think a cyclical universe is the most likely or plausible hypothesis. However, there are also many other 'origin' hypotheses among cosmologists.
