To Tim’s point (as I’m suprised that Dave! hasn’t pointed out), there
actually is NOT an overwhelming amount of evidence for the Big Bang theory.
To be more accurate, there is a severe LACK of DISPROOF for the Big Bang. The
Big Bang theory, if accurate, has lots of falsifiable consequences (not that
I can even begin to list them or know much about them). Hence, the theory is
scientific because we can set up experiments and observe the outcome. If the
theory is correct, we expect to see a particular outcome. And sure enough,
that’s what we’ve seen. If we saw a DIFFERENT outcome, it could invalidate
the theory, and we’d need to come up with a new one. • --snip--

| (...) Well, that's pretty unfair. That's like saying we NEED an answer, and if we can't come up with one, creationism is correct. If you go back to 500 BC and asked people why lightning happened, I'm sure they could come up with answers. But just (...) (18 years ago, 24-Oct-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
