I remember that some of you like astronomy, if you don't then don't open the link. It is very interesting Only takes a couple minutes to read.

How did it form, just from a big chance explosion?
Where did the matter come from before the explosion?

Almost everyone believes in the Big Bang Theory. Do some research on that during the day for a change of pace.

also, if we are traveling 568,000 miles per hour why don't we get motion sickness?

I've also wondered that myself

My question is with the galaxy spining so fast through space, and the galaxy moving so fast through the expanding universe, and we can put a rover on mars within a couple 100 meters and get good pictures back from it, why can't we get a good quality video feed on our basketball games from Bradley.

I know a lot of people that don't believe in it. The Christian faith believes in creation, and there are a lot of Christians. I wouldn't say almost everyone, but that is just me.

I believe you can be a Christian, which I am, and still believe in the Big Bang, someone had to create that.

True, but most of them are vehemently opposed to the Big Bang theory.

Wait how does the science prove the Big Bang theory? I thought the problem was that when they tried to prove it mathematically the equations would "explode" when they got to the time the Big Bang was supposed to have occurred. I can understand evolution slightly...since you can see the bones evolving and stuff. But the Big Bang theory...really? I've heard all types of theories such as the string theory and another recently altered version of the string theory that includes parallel universes. I think the Big Bang is far from truly being accepted as FACT.

Also with the Christians believing in the Big Bang. I agree with that. Somebody DID indeed have to put that ball of matter there and likely there was other stuff that was around and outside of that one ball that happened to explode and become our universe.


Does anyone else get scared thinking of the universe? It's so big. haha

Does it end is it infinite?

Has anyone seen that episode of Everybody Loves Raymond where Robert talks about this stuff? That's a funny part.

I'm not sure how scientists are guilty of misleading anyone when they refer to the Big Bang Theory... It's a theory, meaning it's somebody's best guess at interpreting the data that they have.

I think science and religion are completely compatible, as long as you are willing to admit which each one is.
