I want to hear some comments on the big bang theory. I was taught that it cant happen because something about it would have created a black hole or something but im not sure about that

Good old wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang
Read it and if you're still confused, I will try to answer your questions. Just please for the sake of this educational thread, no one make this a religious debate.

^Nevermind, continue the debate

Blast those people trying to involve religion in controversial topics! Especially when they're in the Religious Debate forum!

God sneezed and the planets were born.

I was ignorant of the fact that this was in the Religious debate forum. My bad

ignorance is strength, Melancholy

This has every thing to do with religion. Some people say that the big bang theory can not be true because of god and viversall

Well, I believe in the Big Bang the most that my mind will allow me. Which is quite a bit, but not 100%. I'm never 100% certain of anything, especially something like the Big Bang, because there is always more evidence to be collected. But in terms of how much evidence there is for the Big Bang, I'd say that I am about 99.99% sure that that's what happened.

In terms of how this fits into my religious beliefs, considering that this is the religious debate forum, I am an atheist, thus I believe that the Big Bang was a completely natural occurence. And whoever told you that all of the matter in the universe would have collapsed into a singularity rather than explode outwards needs a lesson in physics. Because, the laws of physics hadn't been created until the Big Bang occured. That is, the laws of physics as we know them.

Obviously there were laws of physics before that, else all the matter in the universe would have no reason to mash itself into a ball smaller than the period at the end of this sentence. However, those laws may have been very different than the ones we know nowadays, because the Big Bang basically rewrote all of the laws of physics when it occured.

There were no laws of physics when the Big Bang, as you call it, occurred, and obviously this Big Bang could not write or rewrite any of these laws, as written language and even sentience are completely foreign to it.

The laws of physics are a human invention, they were written by humans, and apply only to how the human mind works. The universe HAS no laws, laws are also a human invention in their feeble attempts to understand the world around them. And even these laws of physics have their limitations, as Schroedinger demonstrated with his infamous cat that was neither dead nor alive, but caught in a limbo by the collapse of the laws of physics.

As for this Big Bang, I was there, and I assure you, I've seen bigger.

since the universe is so big it only makes sense that it is expanding, and if it is expanding then it makes sense that it started at one point! then again it could also always have been there, the thing that noone will ever be able to explain is wat was there before the big bang. If you define the universe as everything that exists then it couldnt have started from a big bang because there had to be something existing before it. I guess its incomprehensible to think of there being nothing at all. There is proof i guess but it isnt an indisputable fact, just the same as there being no god isnt an indisputable fact! personally i believe there is a god but he isnt watching down on us, why would god create the universe just to sit outside it, i believe god exists all around us in nature, and the big bang was god! again disputable but hey life sucks without a bit of dispute!
soz for rant but im done
