You mean god didn't just go "poof" and create it all 7000 years ago?

BLASPHEMY!

I think the Poof Theory is valid as I read it in a "history" book.

(Stromboli searches internet for "poof" theory. Comes up empty)

JosephPalazzo is a physicist. Hasn't posted for a while. I recall posting something similar on here awhile back and he wasn't in agreement with it. Any other physicists on here? Link to the "poof" theory? mathematically challenged Stromboli is confused.  :think:

You understand it well enough to comment?  Or do you just comment anyway?

He will come when we need him the most.  And he will eloquently explain how Lambda falls out of the first equation so easily.

Solitary

Science is always tentative, and offers no proof, only mathematicians and religious leaders offer absolute proof.
Mathematicians can't even figure out the three body problem, and yet they know what happen at the Big Bang. Mathematics is only a tool and therefore an invention made by man to understand the world we live in, not a discovery. Example: What is the next number in the sequence 1,4,9,16,---?

While 25 seems correct, it is actually 42.  Using mathematics here is PROOF: (n-1)(n-2)(n-3)+nxn equals 3.2.1+6.6=36 Solitary

There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.

That was a joke calling the Christian creation claim the "poof theory" (since APA made a joke about god "poofing" the universe into existence) based on a "history" book i.e. the Bible. That was a reference to the many Christians that say the Bible contains historical evidence of the existence of their god.

I quoted APA's joke to help give reference to my joke.

But, no. I'm not a physicist or have background knowledge to take any solid stance on the issue of the origins of the universe. I can however reject the idea of a god creating the universe due to the lack of evidence of such a god. I can't give preference to the big bang or continual universe that the OP's article hypothesizes. They are both interesting nonetheless.
