The more I read into quantum physics and the zero point field, the more I believe. And before you rattle off your typical "GetBigger" stance on the topic replete with your barbs of "fairy tale" and other nonsense...I heartily recommend you become familiar with layman quantum mechanics.
Christ! Not
another one... First of all, there's no such thing as "
layman quantum mechanics" anymore than there is a such a thing as "brain surgery for dummies." As for your recommendation, I would recommend you actually take a couple of years of graduate level mathematics and physics courses to gain the proper foundation to begin to discuss quantum mechanics.
It's actually mind blowing. So? There was a big bang? What was going on before that? (Science has *crickets*) There was nothing? And then..all the sudden...there was something? The Universe? How does that logically differ from.."HEY THERE WAS A FAIRY TALE MAN AND HE MADE THE UNIVERSE"?
So much idiocy in so few words - it's almost painful. So basically your
argument (and I use the term loosely) is: "science can't answer the question 'what was going on before the Big Bang" and that's no different than saying 'HEY THERE WAS A FAIRY TALE MAN AND HE MADE THE UNIVERSE'?" Really? You see no difference in saying: "we do not have the answer" to saying "by vigorous hand-waving, goddidit!" Perhaps you should stop reading about quantum mechanics and read a bit about basic logic, or take an introductory course at your local Community College.
I'll also add that your statement assumes that the question "what was going on before the Big Bang" makes sense... Time and temporal causality are properties of the Universe we exist in. The very word "
before" is meaningless in the context you're trying to use it. You might as well be asking: "what was going on potatoes the Big Bang?"
So, you non God fearing heathens..you're telling me..that (best science you got, btw) there was nothing and BANG!!! THERE WAS SOMETHING!!
Actually, not all non God-fearing heathens say the same thing. But that's not important. What's important is what science says. And it says two things: (a) the term
before the Big Bang is meaningless and (b) we do not know the answer to the question, even if we try to conjure up what the term should mean.
And you laugh at religious people?
Sometimes. But, I must admit that I laugh more at people who claim to "
read into quantum physics and the zero point field" and, in the same sentence, demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of the fundamentals of science and logic.
Disclaimer: I subscribe to Steve Jobs's view that "all religions are windows to the same house".
No doubt - the question is what house is that?
