Please WATCH THE .... VIDEO!!!
I watched the video. Yeah, it's a bit premature to jump to conclusions. Physics at energies relevant to the early universe is still too poorly understood.

An experiment failed to find any difference between anti-hydrogen and hydrogen, thus failing to give a clue to the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in our (local) universe. Not in the video: differences between matter and antimatter are observed but mostly in mesons, not in the baryons that make up most matter (e.g. protons and neutrons), and the difference is not large enough to explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry.

My country is also not invited to watch the video.

Big bang is theorized to have produced antimatter that should have combined with matter resulting in a big nothing instead of the universe as we know it.

(Therefore humans are required to have an explanation for this RIGHT NOW!!!)

Many do say "God did it." Many are devout Christians who say "God did it."
Many also say, "God did it, and let's see if we can find a physical mechanism by which matter came to dominate our universe."

That's it? Seems a bit anti-climatic... :/

If you are aitheist you must deny that you exist in the end ...

Wow! This sounds like one of those really poorly thought out logical arguments. Please , by all means, explain to me why I must deny I exist.

Those are the (Christian) scientists I mean.
But I'd lay a small bet that this thread is going to be about the Bible, not the existence of God.

You should check out Boltzmann Brain
Boltzmann brain - Wikipedia

In short there his much greater probability for boltzman brain than big bang , if you believe in big bang you must believe in boltzman brains . According to that you are just mess of atoms who randomly formed into some kind of brain in some space and you become concious 1s ago with memory of your whole life and you will die 1s later and you really don't exist but just happend for atoms to line up so they make you think you do .

Scientist, why can't you say: "God did it."???

When there is credible evidence, that some super natural entity is responsible, let us know.

Until that time, I will hold off on giving credit.

Don't worry though, you can still say God did it.

This thread seems to be about matter and anti matter wiping each other out (or not). Nice try at shifting the topic too the Big Bang.

If you should raise this Boltzman Brain concept in a future thread you will need to consider justifying the following bald assertion:

In short there his much greater probability for boltzman brain than big bang , if you believe in big bang you must believe in boltzman brains .
