There was no big bang—“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”

The James Webb Space Telescope continues to yield surprising results as it probes the depths of outer space. And those “surprising results” often contradict what’s expected in the big bang model for the origin of the universe (based on naturalism—atheism), including a new study on the direction that galaxies rotate.

There are an estimated 200 billion galaxies in our universe, and this new study surveyed 263 of them to determine the direction that the galaxies rotate. And the result? Two-thirds rotate clockwise, a problem for big bang cosmology because:

[Evolutionary] astronomers have long posited that galaxies should be evenly split between rotating in one direction or the other. . . This stems from the idea that we live in an “isotropic” universe, which means that the universe looks roughly the same in every direction. By extension, galaxies shouldn’t have a preferred direction of spin from our perspective.

And yet, they do, at least based on this new study (though our astronomer, Dr. Danny Faulkner, says the results are likely to be disputed and may not be accurate). But we should note that the results of this study aren’t really “new”—the study lists papers going back to 1985 that report on this asymmetry of rotation. What is new is:

the number of galaxies they were able to survey,
how far away those galaxies are,
and the size of the asymmetry.

What was really surprising was that the deeper you go into space, the more pronounced this asymmetry gets, if the conclusion of the study is accurate.

So what does that mean for the big bang model? Well, all that will happen is the model will be tweaked . . . again. You see, the big bang is so “plastic” that it can always be tweaked to explain everything and anything—which means that it doesn’t actually explain anything! That’s because it is a belief about the past and not based on observational science.

How might it be tweaked? Well, the article gave two possibilities, and Dr. Faulkner summarized them for me:

What this asymmetry in galaxy rotation means for naturalistic theories is not clear. One of the possibilities discussed in the article is that our universe was birthed by a black hole from another universe, with the asymmetry in galaxy rotation being from the spin of the mother black hole. This sort of thinking is easy naturalistically because universes birthing other universes is very fashionable in that it solves many problems that the big bang model has. Admittedly, this is not the prevalent method by which cosmologists think universes are born, but it may become the dominant theme. The other possibility is uncertainty in the expansion of the universe, though it’s not clear to me how this would work.

When you read of astronomers arguing that maybe our universe was birthed from a black hole from another universe, it’s a reminder that people will believe in anything—even something ridiculous—rather than accept that the God of the Bible exists and created everything. And yet, every galaxy they studied (and every other galaxy) is daily proclaiming the Creator’s glory (Psalm 19), so they are without excuse (Romans 1:20).

Even though deep down in their spirit, they know God lives but refuse to acknowledge that Truth.

I don't understand belief in the Big Bang theory. Behind everything there has to be a Creator and God did not leave us to guess on this. Is this plain as the nose on a person's face. Even Hawking said, "Essentially, "there was never a Big Bang that produced something from nothing. It just seemed that way from mankind's point of perspective."

We can say with confidence, physics has found no confirmed instances of something arising from nothing. And I doubt it ever does. The concept that "something cannot come from nothing" is often associated with the Law of Conservation of Energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. This principle is also reflected in the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions.

@ElRengo I can give you so many tables about this fake theory of Big Bang and evolution. Irony is that Modern Astronomy is not following the concept of science. They always use a catch phrase "May have, May be, May have been". Science is either Yes or No. Is washing Machine there? Yes, it's there. Is Microwave there? Yes, it's there. Are Radio waves there? Yes, they are just as sound waves.

What about Theory of Evolution? Monkeys 'may have' and then, when 'may have' comes, it's no longer Science.

Have you ever seen a scientist or an enginner claiming 400 years ago that We 'may have' washing Machine in the near future.


May have means "It is not there"

Whenever you doubt, just think like it's the actual case and act accordingly.

My only response we simply do not know. The big bang might have been by design? If the universe is infinite what portion have we observed? So far? "They" (and you) and I don't KNOW anything to be 100% true or false. Our archive of data increases constantly to allow more accurate observations and conclusions.

There is a possibility that something similar to what man calls the Big bang occurred. God said LET THERE BE LIGHT

One finds little reference to the first light but the first light which was invisible to the human eye they call cosmic microwave radiation light and that light is extremely bright. That light was released within the first three seconds that the singularity occurred. That was a burst of light, atoms, protons, neutrons, etc. visible light such as we see today did not occur until some 3 million or so years later. Wish I could post a picture but maybe YouTube will survise.

At this time neither side can prove their theory . You saying there was no big bang is no different from someone saying god didn't create life . You have a theory , they have a theory . To me both sides are saying believe me because i say so .

@GodSpeed63 you say you are right because you know you are right because you say you are right because you know you are right because...
kodiac · 22-25, M
@GodSpeed63 Stories are not proof. If jesus was reserected why didn't he show himself ? Why didn't he stay on earth ? You speak about how god sacrificed his only son ,but it's no sacrifice if with a wave of his hand he could bring him back to life .
@kodiac I think you may be assuming he didn't. He did show himself, plenty of times.

lol whatever dude 🧠

The two are in no way mutually exclusive. The big bang and biblical creation story are remarkably well aligned. Its really just a matter of scaling what we call time.
GerOttman · 61-69, M
@newjaninev2 and so, not everyone can see th ed other side of the mirror. look deeper, beyond what you can see.
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@GerOttman why are you talking about mirrors?
GerOttman · 61-69, M
@newjaninev2 it's not about mirrors, it's about the reflection of reality and the perception of the ethereal plane. it's not here, it's there, but you have to feel it. Just try!

You’re entertaining, I’ll give you that. Based on a sample on approximately 1/1,000,000,000 of the total you have identified a flaw. Never took statistics, right? Then you trot out that crazed loon Ken Ham. Did he peer through the fixed firmament above the watery bowl of the sky to make his finding or did he just look up the answers already printed in the KJB?

Give it a rest, there no god and the bible is really the Goatherders Guide to the Galaxy, a work of silly fiction for people who didn’t know they were living on a globe.

You still have to prove that your statement is true, Red, and, since you insist not doing that, the Truth remains that God lives and His Word is the Truth. Truth is what matters here, Red and not belief.
The only thing we can conclude from a tiny study of 263 galaxies is that more data is needed.

Where there is a 'MAYBE, WOULD HAVE BEEN, WOULD BE, MAY HAVE BEEN', There is no science whatsoever. Are humans too result of The Big Bang? And on topic that scientists are crazy enough to think that if creatures on Earth breathe Oxygen, then creatures somewhere in the other galaxy would be breathing oxygen too. That's crazy assumption.Big Bang in itself is as crazy assumotion as The theory of Evolution.

Ohhhh big bang is sooooo true. So, God (Allah) is inside a supermassive blackhole. He started extending His kingdom from there, and then created one thing and then another to balance it and then another to balance that thing and then another to balance the first two things and then like that and then like that. That's how the ratios in the universe are so accurate, and if they go a lil offset even a 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 offset, then everything will collapse. Literally. :) Will you buy me cigarettes now :)

@nobodyishome

You may be right about Allah, ma'am but my God, the Great I AM, lives outside of time and space with no black holes. Where'd you get the idea that big bang is true?
nobodyishome · 31-35, F
@GodSpeed63 Allah told me.
GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M
@nobodyishome
Allah told me.

Be truthful, do you really believe that?
lmao

There is no need to try to force science to be the bad guy.
Without Big Bang the Fine-Tuned Universe theory collapses
