LoginOkay, the Big Bang. There was this whatever-size — call it a golf ball-, tennis ball-size of matter that banged and we’re all here. Where was it? Where was this glob of matter that banged that created the universe? Where was it? No, no, no. You can’t say, “It was in the void.” You can’t say it was in another dimension, parallel or otherwise, astral plane. It had to be somewhere. Where was it? What was around it? Could you see it? Could somebody see this golf-ball-size bit of energy if they were not part of that? Could you be somewhere and see it? Could you be somewhere and witness this Big Bang instead of being a part of it? If so, where were you? Well, since nobody could see it, how the hell do they know it really happened? But I’m not supposed to ask that.
The first question is the weirdest one because he's talking about the very beginning of the universe - all of the universe's matter/energy in a spot about the size of a golf ball - and he's asking what's around it. He's essentially asking what part of the universe was outside of the universe at this time. Does not compute.
The second "question" (assertion, really) is that if no one witnessed the Big Bang, how do we know it really happened?
1) Does he honestly expect a reporter there on the scene? "Hello, Tom. I'm here at the Big Bang, where spacetime is rapidly expanding outwards and matter/energy is cooling from a soup of quark–gluon plasma into more recognizable elements. Back to you, Tom."
2) We know lots of things indirectly.
3) Has this guy ever read about of any of the evidences he's so blithely dismissing? It's not like this stuff is secret knowledge. You just walk into the library, grab a book on the subject, get them to scan it, then walk out
This guy is a massively influential figure among conservatives and he's a complete moron.
