*beep* A singularity is an infinitesimal with no extension and therefore has no field. Insert another quarter and try again. *beep*

     Ah, that has been that: The Singularity is an infinitesimal - and what is infinitesimal supposed to mean: by Def.: Infinitesimals have been used to express the idea of things so small that there is no way to see them or to measure them - This is my favorite part. We cannot see infinitesimal, we cannot measure it - O.K.; it may be small to infinity (whatever this might mean), but no one could be bulshitted to infinity.
   - What about its existence - its ability to exist - is it so small that it can't be seen whether it may exist or not. A Helium atom is of the size of 31 picometres - how much smaller is the Singularity?
   - If the Singularity is much smaller than the photons, gravitons and gluons 'under common denominator' (that are actually massless) how and where has it carried: A) the infinite Temperature that is claimed to have caused the launching of the Big Bang; B) the mass of the Universe (see the law of conservation of mass); C) the Energy of the present day Universe (see the law of conservation of energy) ... and the momentum.
   I don't dare to ask anything about any Time and any Existence here.
   If the absolute mumbo jumbo is possible to exist, the Singularity for sure is one of the best aspirants.

     You don't understand something. You are not denying only God - you are denying the possibility of any intelligence to have ever existed before us, and hence you are denying the future of the humanity - with your Singularity it comes out that it is impossible for the humans to achieve immortality. I am not going to comment here who is greater denialist.

     You are denying the only hypothesis that is not causing an avalanche of contradictions with the fundamental sciences. The Universe might have not always existed, the Intelligence in the Universe might have not always existed but to us any point of time before we have lost key information about the explanation of our world is technically 'always'. Thus it is much better to accept technically that the space of the SS must have always existed (or at least in the period 13. Bya - 4.38 BYa), as it can be detected onto the moment of formation of the SS - anything else is worse as an explanation (unless supported by any real evidence ... in any case different from Singularity). From where are you so sure that the Singularity is not God Himself, as the only way to acquire mass, energy and momentum without having them a priori at hand is to possess some intelligence and creativity to do something on the issue. BTW consensus is with 's'.

Strawman fallacy, combined with what suggests a slippery slope fallacy. Where did I ever deny either the possibility of a god or your surreptitious synonym for one, the IDer? Please show me where I said either of those things.

All I've been saying all along is that your argument for your "personal 45% god-of-the-gaps" is shot full of fallacies and lacks even a modicum of supporting evidence, therefore it is by far the weaker explanation.

Quote:

So that's the fantasy you're holding out for? Immortality. Good luck with that one. If a majority of scientists and/or historians accepted that such a thing were real, and then I denied it, I'd be a denialist. They don't, so instead you're just a dreamer caught up in your own fantastic dream-world. Unless, of course, you produce some evidence. Laughing

There's a shitload more evidence for a gravitational singularity than there is for either your "personal 45% god-of-the-gaps" or an immortal soul. When you get better evidence, bring it on. There's a Nobel waiting for you.

If a singularity is a god, then I've got some bad news for you: there's pretty solid evidence that suggests there's one at the center of every black hole, and a black hole at the center of most sizeable galaxies. Thousands of millions of gods? So much for monotheism! Laughing

No, because it has already been explained to you that the BBT does not violate any conservation laws. Have you been actually paying attention?

If you doubt the current Standard Model, which everyone acknowledges is incomplete, all you have to do is present something superior and a Nobel Prize with your name on it is in the offing. Of course, that means presenting evidence and necessary inference. *cough*

Background Radiation

In every direction, there is a very low energy and very uniform radiation that we see filling the Universe. This is called the 3 Degree Kelvin Background Radiation, or the Cosmic Background Radiation, or the Microwave Background. These names come about because this radiation is essentially a black body with temperature slightly less than 3 degrees Kelvin (about 2.76 K), which peaks in the microwave portion of the spectrum. This radiation is the strongest evidence for the validity of the hot big bang model. The adjacent figure shows the essentially perfect blackbody spectrum obtained by NASA's Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite.

The following image was taken by COBE. It shows the temperature of the cosmic background radiation plotted in galactic coordinates, with red cooler and blue and violet hotter (Ref). This dipole anisotropy is because of the Doppler effect. If the Earth moves with respect to the microwave background, it will be blue shifted to a higher effective temperature in the direction of the Earth's motion and red shifted to a lower effective temperature in the direction opposite the Earth's motion.

The indication of the above image is that the local group of galaxies, to which the Earth belongs, is moving at about 600 km/s with respect to the background radiation. It is not know why the Earth is moving with such a high velocity relative to the background radiation.

Evidence for the Big Bang

The cosmic background radiation (sometimes called the CBR), is the afterglow of the big bang, cooled to a faint whisper in the microwave spectrum by the expansion of the Universe for 15 billion years (which causes the radiation originally produced in the big bang to redshift to longer wavelengths). As shown in the adjacent intensity map of the background radiation in different directions taken by the Differential Microwave Radiometer on NASA's COBE satellite, it is not completely uniform, though it is very nearly so (Ref). To obtain this image, the average dipole anisotropy exhibited in the image above has been subtracted out, since it represents a Doppler shift due to the Earth's motion. Thus, what remains should represent true variations in the temperature of the background radiation.
In this image, red denotes hotter fluctuations and blue and black denote cooler fluctuations around the average. These fluctuations are extremely small, representing deviations from the average of only about 1/100,000 of the average temperature of the observed background radiation.

Problems with the Uniformity

The highly isotropic nature of the cosmic background radiation indicates that the early stages of the Universe were almost completely uniform. This raises two problems for the big bang theory.
First, when we look at the microwave background coming from widely separated parts of the sky it can be shown that these regions are too separated to have been able to communicate with each other even with signals travelling at light velocity. Thus, how did they know to have almost exactly the same temperature? This general problem is called the horizon problem.

Second, the present Universe is homogenous and isotropic, but only on very large scales. For scales the size of superclusters and smaller the luminous matter in the universe is quite lumpy, as illustrated in the following figure.

FIGURE: Data from the survey of galaxies. The voids and "walls" that form the large-scale structure are mapped here by 11,000 galaxies. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is at the center. The outer radius is at a distance of approximately 450 million light-years. Obscuration by the plane of the Milky Way is responsible for the missing pie-shaped sectors to the right and left. Click on the image to get a larger version. (Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, 1993. Northern data (top)--Margaret Geller and John Huchra, Southern data (bottom)--Luiz da Costa et al. Quoted in Cosmology, a Research Briefing, National Academy of Sciences.)

Thus, the discovery of small deviations from smoothness (anisotopies) in the cosmic microwave background is welcome, for it provides at least the possibility for the seeds around which structure formed in the later Universe. However, as we shall see, we are still far from a quantitative understanding of how this came to be.

     If you are curious to know - 'my God myth' and your 'Singularity God myth' are one and the same mythology. If you have reinforced concrete (backed up by any justification) assumptions of the Big Bang 'theory' (as you and your fellow-atheist herein above obviously haven't) 'my God myth' will become absolutely insignificant in comparison to what you both will have to present on the issue.

It's been offered, but you are not capable of comprehending such simple concepts. The evidence continues to grow for the big bang theory; none exists for your god. ZILCH, NADA, NONE, ZERO.
Keep asking about the big bang; it only proves your denial and diversions does not work. It's actually quite funny to see people like you who negate logic, science, and common sense - for your mystical god.
