What evidence is there that a 'singularity' preceding the origin of the universe actually existed?

None.

You 'see' no evidence, parados. The second half of your sentence is a completely made up statement.

You tagged it onto the end of 'it MIGHTA been there, yeah it COULDA been there, you can't prove a negative, so it CAN exist' to make it sound plausible.

But it sounds desperate instead.
Not nearly as desperate as your attempt in this post. You claim no evidence yet you didn't refute a single sentence of the site I sent you to. Who is desperate?

OK, lets not assume. So, let's not assume that the BB is supernatural. That is nothing more than an "assumption" on your part.


When NO evidence is presented that a 'singularity' actually existed, and said singularity is described as not subject to the physical laws of our universe (GR is said to 'break down' etc), then your 'singularity' is (by definition) 'supernatural'.

Evidence for the Big Bang


No evidence presented on this link that a 'singularity' actually existed. None.
So you say. Others are free to read the link however and make their own conclusions. Your opinion is just that, your opinion. Not only is it your opinion, it is your uninformed opinion. Since you have not disputed one statement from my link, I am left to conclude you didn't even read any of it.
Quote:

The 'singularity', as commonly postulated, is simply the most massive black hole imaginable.

The immense gravity of such a black hole is usually said to prevent the escape of ANYTHING , even light.
Perhaps, or perhaps not. Maybe you don't know a thing about the BBT. Did you read anything on the link I posted? Did you dispute anything from that link where they listed the parameters of the BBT? I don't think so. I only see you coming back and repeating your uninformed opinion.
Quote:

How anything (no, EVERYTHING) that is supposed to be resident in this , the mother of all black holes, managed to escape due to 'expansion' which defeated this gravity is then quite a whale of a story, isn't it?
If you want to put it that way instead of dealing with the realities of the theory, you do make it sound like a whale story. But it is your whale, not that of science.
Quote:

This 'singularity' is said to have expanded mightily and voila a universe is born.
Oh? really? And your evidence of this is?
Quote:

The most common evidence for this is CMBR which , embarrassingly enough, is uncooperatively found not in smooth homogenous consistency throughout the universe, but in hetergenous lumps or bands. (Stars and galaxies are similarly found with humongous and embarrasing gaps between them. http://www.nrao.edu/pr/2007/coldspot/graphics.shtml
http://space.newscientist.com/article/dn12546 )

'Well, it USED TO BE homogenous' we are told.
Nice made up opinion real life. Let me list the quote from the site I listed that you failed to address?
Quote:
On the other hand, if you use large circles (and stay within the boundaries!), the variation from circle to circle ends up being quite small compared to the average number of galaxies in each circle. This is what cosmologists mean when they say that the universe is homogeneous. An even stronger case for homogeneity can be made with the CMBR, which we will discuss below
Your site doesn't show anything other than a cold spot with some hot spots. You are throwing stuff out without any reference point and pretending it has meaning that no one other than you is claiming. Did you read what the colors represent in the pictures you linked to?

"The colors represent very small variations (parts in 100,000) around the average temperature of 2.7 degrees above absolute zero, with blue colors being colder. Data are from NASA's WMAP satellite."

Variations in the 1/100,000 of a degree. And you want to claim that is evidence that there is no homogeneity within the CMBR. What nonsense from you real life. A variation of 1/100,000 of a degree in the CMBR is your evidence of a large hole in the universe? I would call it evidence of a large hole in your head perhaps but it doesn't show much about holes in the CMBR.

Quote:
Oh how do you know?

'Well it came from the Big Bang.'
How do we know that your opinion is incorrect? We only need to read what cosmologists actually say vs your made up version of what they say.

Quote:
Thus this circular argumentation is employed, assuming the event to prove the event.

All might still be well if one could just come up with SOME evidence that a 'singularity' ACTUALLY DID exist prior to the origin of the universe. But alas there is NONE.
It is YOUR circular argument real life.
You claim that prior to the BB there was a singularity. You then redefine it based on what YOU want it to be. YOu then claim that based on your definition it couldn't exist. You ignore the scientific definitions since you didn't address a single one of them and you present science and misrepresent it. You continue doing the same crap you always have real life.

Before you join the Ad Hom Chorale, provide a quote where I said this. I asked for this previously (not of you) and was given a quote that did not say 'anything unknown to science is supernatural', nor did it imply such.
Perhaps you need to give us your definition of "imply" real life. I think the statement and your stance quite clearly implies the unknown is supernatural. You are free to disagree which you will.

You claim the singularity is "unknown".
You claim the singularity before the BB is "supernatural".
The only logical conclusion is that you mean that something that is "unknown" is "supernatural."
Feel free to deny your words of "unknown" and "supernatural."

Quote:

There is nothing wrong with a scientist saying , 'this is unknown'. There IS something wrong with a 'scientist' saying 'we have no evidence that an entity ever existed, nor what it was composed of , so therefore this is how it would behave'.
There you go using "unknown" again (so you can't deny using that word). I guess that leaves you denying you ever claimed the singularity was "supernatural."

Quote:

That is not simply an 'unknown'. That is DRAWING CONCLUSIONS based on NO EVIDENCE.

If something is of 'unknown' compositions and properties, you cannot draw conclusions about how it would behave.
So then you can't claim "supernatural?" Or do you know the properties? Or are you just claiming that since it is "unknown" it must be "supernatural"?
Quote:

And it's properties and composition ARE unknown unless you have evidence that shows otherwise (not simply speculation).
You are doing a pretty good job of proving that you used the words "unknown" and "supernatural" to describe the same thing. You don't know what it is and you claim others don't know so it is "unknown".

Show me that science doesn't study the BBT. Your argument is obviously false and deceptive real life. Either the BBT is NOT about the supernatural or it is. You can't change the meanings and pretend you didn't say something when you make it so painfully obvious in the very post you deny you ever said it.

Prove it. Prove you cited a dictionary definition. I earlier cited your first posts on this thread and you cited no dictionary. Please provide evidence of you ever citing a dictionary without someone else citing it first.

Good, then you should be able to provide us with the post you cited the dictionary for the meaning of "supernatural".

GR is fairly well known.
Perhaps, but you certainly don't understand it. GR predicts black holes and singularities. Is General Relativity science? General relativity says that all photons that leave a singularity will red shift. The universe is red shifted. Hmm.... that would be evidence of the universe leaving a singularity. Oh.. that's right. You said there was "no evidence" of a singularity prior to the universe. But then you also said that GR was fairly well known. The only thing you are showing is you don't know a damn thing about GR.

I do not denigrate science. I ask questions of it, and expect it to be applied consistently.
You consistently denigrate science when you claim it says something that it doesn't. Or you claim it provides no evidence when it does. Either deal with the evidence of the BBT theory or admit that you are denigrating science. I posted a link. You dealt with none of it other than to denigrate science by claiming that 1/100,000 of a degree variation shows the CMBR isn't consistent enough for you. Yet you have shown no scientist that says the same thing.

You expect consistency? Are you consistent? Other than in your dishonesty?

Quote:

There is nothing wrong in that.
Not if your consistency is based on integrity which yours is not.
Quote:

My position is and has been that the 'singularity' ( I have not said 'all of science' ) rests on the same type of supernatural foundation that creation does.
There it is. You can't deny it. You claim the "unknown" is "supernatural." You have used BOTH words to describe the same thing. Then you claim it wasn't implied. It is very much implied that you consider the "unknown" to be "supernatural." You are tying the "unknown" to the "supernatural". How you can deny that you are is beyond me. This post shows your argument and no one with any sense can think you are NOT tying the two together.

Quote:

No one has seen God. And there is no evidence that a 'singularity' preceding BB ever actually existed either.
That must be your understanding of GR that leads you to this conclusion? Explain the red shift under GR other than the "singularity" since you claim there is "no evidence."
Quote:

God is defined as being able to do whatever He wishes, even if it violates scientific law. The 'singularity' of BB lore is defined as not being subject to the physical laws of our universe.
Only by your distorted definitions of those laws. You use the laws of thermodynamics while ignoring GR in discussing the BBT.

Quote:

No one can explain where God came from. No one can explain when, where or how the 'singularity' originated or what was before it.

God is spirit, what's a spirit made of, who knows? The singularity is of unknown composition and unknown properties , YET so called scientific types confidently predict how it behaved even though they have no evidence that it would've done so.

Sorry you object to my doubts. I am a doubter, no doubt about it. If you think it's inappropriate for someone to ask questions of science, then I won't be of much help to you.
You are a doubter with no desire to find the truth. When presented with science you revert back to your own definitions and ignore the answers that don't give you the distortions you want. It is inappropriate to not listen or try to understand the answers if you keep asking questions.

Could you show the proper GR calculations that support your allegation that nothing can be infinite? After all, GR is well known.

Then you are admitting that you are using two different definitions of the word, supernatural.

Because something that only appears to be supernatural is not necessarily supernatural. We gave examples of this before. The Sun, before we knew how it worked, would, by your definition would have been supernatural. Despite the fact that all along it was never supernatural in the first place.

Supernatural does not apply to the Sun and never did.

Yet, if you are saying it applies to an object that doesn't seem to obey the known laws of physics, then you the term supernatural did apply to the Sun once.

Even a very large number (or a very small number) can end up breaking the laws.

That is why Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation isn't universal at all. If the velocities of the objects being studied are close enough to the speed of light, Newton's Law of Gravitation ceases to be useful in describing how they would behave. In fact, objects close to the speed of light regularly break the Law of Gravitation.

Only Einstein's Theory of General Relativity comes close to describing how objects moving at the speed of light would behave.

Which once again brings up a common misconception you seem to have about Laws. Laws are not necessarily universal as they are merely manmade descriptions of how things behave or work, as based on experimental observation.

Newton's Laws are only applicable under conditions similar to those we experience everyday. In quantum scales or at very high speeds or very high gravity, they do not apply.

That much is common knowledge.

What are you talking about?

We can see the sun.

There is no doubt that it exists.

There is NO evidence that of the existence of a 'singularity' preceding the origin of the universe.

None.

No, the Sun would never have been supernatural using the definition we have been discussing.

Further, the Sun follows the physical laws of our universe. There is no dispute about that.

Again, the Sun would never have been supernatural using the definition we have been discussing.

I have no idea what you are referring to, Wolf.

AFAIK, the 'singularity' is/was non-existent, not simply 'unknown'.

Calling it 'unknown' assumes it's existence and you haven't been able to establish even that yet.

LOL.. And you DID read the article?

For someone that demands evidence of something you are sure willing to post what "suggests" something as if it was fact. Because it SUGGESTS the lack of dark matter isn't really evidence of anything, is it? Care to show where it says anything in the article about the difference in CMBR from that area to the rest of space? It doesn't. That is located on the other page that shows the color shift. No one other than you has stated categorically that this shows the CMBR isn't still fairly homogeneous. Maybe you should read the article Mr Smarty Pants and tell us what is in it vs what you made up about the article.

Based on the other page you linked to, the difference is 1/100,000 of a degree colder in a 2.7 degree Kelvin CMB.

When you refute the evidence I already presented then perhaps you can go down this road. You have yet to refute anything including the CMBR. You tried to show that there was a region of space that might be empty but you have no real evidence until you can prove there is no dark matter in that area of space.

Quote:

I haven't been calling it "unknown". You have been calling it "unknown" at the same time you call it "supernatural" implying that unknown is the same as supernatural. You have failed to address your use of both words and what they imply.

You real life are as Set as repeatedly called you a liar. Now you attempt to change the subject by pretending you are not calling it "unknown". I am surprised your God hasn't struck you down for lying. Oh.. wait. I'm not surprised since you haven't shown any evidence of creationism yet.

And it wasn't I that referred to this gigantic area of the universe as a 'void', it was the article that I cited.

This area is a billion light years across with no galaxies or clusters in it.

Tell me why I should regard the universe as uniformly distributed with matter in the aftermath of BB.

BBers commonly postulate that Time came into being at the BB.

Yet they also given rather detailed explanations of the sequence of events that befell the 'singularity' that eventually expanded, culminating in BB.

In your opinion Neo, does (or doesn't) the listing of a sequence of events imply duration , i.e. Time ?

I don't dispute the data.

I dispute what you think it says.

First you claimed there was no evidence of a singularity before the big bang.
Then when I presented that evidence you still claimed there was no evidence and didn't deal with anything I presented.
Then you present an article that you claim disputes the very evidence you state doesn't exist.
This is your usual way of working. You deny, deny, deny and then present something you think disproves what you have been denying which then leads you back to your deny, deny, deny phase on a different topic. We have seen it time and again from you real life.

If you go back and read the evidence in the article I first presented, you didn't dispute any of it. You think this "hole" exists and disproves an homogeneous universe. Yet you have presented no evidence that it does any such thing. In the overall universe it is a pretty small hole. You have presented no evidence that this 'hole' has existed since the singularity or the supposed time of the singularity. Part of why the hole was found was because of the homogeneous nature of the CMB. If you read the article on the evidence for the BBT you would know that matter is NOT homogeneous. This is obvious just by looking at the fact that stars, planets, and galaxies exist.

Since you think the hole disproves the singularity, could you present the GR formula that you think it disproves and why it is disproved? Nah, you won't present actual science or math. You just throw stuff and run.

Deny, deny, deny is all you can do real life. It is all you have ever done. You think you are good at it but it is painful to watch you sometimes as you run around.

1. You claimed you never implied the unknown was supernatural.
2. when presented evidence of you doing just that, you denied it while at the same time implying in the very post you denied it that the unknown was supernatural.
3. You then tried to change the subject by claiming the unknown was really nonexistent.

1. You claimed you provided a dictionary definition when you first used the word "supernatural.
2. Your first uses of the word were linked to and no dictionary definition.
3. You repeated your claim you provided a dictionary definition.
4. When asked to provide your post where you did that you failed to do so. Instead you changed the subject.

1. You claimed that the singularity violates the laws of thermodynamics.
2. You claimed that anything that violates the laws of science is supernatural.
3. You claim that everyone is familiar with general relativity.
4. You ignore it when it is pointed out that GR actually predicts singularities and predicts the output of a singularity. (The same output we see in the universe today.)
5. Time to change the subject real life.



Deny, deny, deny, then change the subject <---- the real life mantra.

If the 'singularity' which is postulated to have preceded BB is akin to a black hole, how did EVERYTHING that was in this black hole escape?

I thought that nothing, including light , is able to escape a black hole. Can you explain?

How could this massive black hole simply expand, causing everything in it to escape?

Doesn't it have massive gravity holding everything in?

Isn't that the very definition of a black hole?
