My BC Challenge

[AV1611VET]

Did the Big Bang occur circa 13,772,000,000 BC?

 

[Shemjaza]

I'll bite. Approximately.

That doesn't mean that I uncritically accept that the events the BC dating system is associated with.

 

[A_Thinker]

Sounds about right, according to the latest scientific data ...

 

[KWCrazy]

It came on day four of creation.

Did the Big Bang occur circa 13,772,000,000 BC?

Give or take, based on the best evidence we have.

Did the Big Bang occur circa 13,772,000,000 BC?

According to the results from the Planck satellite, the Big Bang occurred about 13,799,000,000±21,000,000 BC - see Planck Collaboration (2015), 'Planck 2015 results. XIII. Cosmological parameters', Astronomy & Astrophysics, 594, A13 (2016) - http://adsabs.harvardedu/2016A&A...594A..13P .

 

[Strathos]

Roughly, yes.

You mean circa 13,772,000,000 years ago?

13,772,000,000 BCE seems a pretty good approximation, sure....

The designation BCE can take a hike.

 

[TLK Valentine]

The designation BCE can take a hike.

It can if it chooses to; you certainly don't have the ability to make it.

Who coined that designation (BCE) in the first place?

Who coined that designation (BCE) in the first place?

It has a long and interesting history.

 

[quatona]

No

So what is this thread about, then?
Something like "Once you don´t object to the use of 'BC' you implicitly admit that Jesus existed and was God´s son."?

Nobody who answers to you.

Why don’t you Google it?

Ok, so it´s "Once you don´t object to the use of 'BC' you implicitly admit that Jesus existed and is God´s son."
I don´t agree with this assertion.

 

[quatona]

I guess I implicitly agree with Celsius´ divinity whenever I talk about the temperature, then?
