It’s Bullshit
I tried watching your video but it wouldn’t load. I got just past the introduction and it took about 7 minutes of my time. Couldn’t handle it anymore.
The fact of the matter is that fundamentally you can’t answer the question. You can’t say where all of this came from. It is, as of right now, an impossibility. The origin of the universe will always be a mystery.{and we’d never be able to fly, until the Wright Brother invented the plane} People have been trying to figure it out since the beginning of time.{with creation myths, now we have observable facts} I’ll never be able to prove you wrong and you’ll never be able to prove me wrong.{This isn’t true, one of us is wrong} The best we will get is more elaborate arguments that pose different ideas but still prove nothing{theories come from observable facts, if you wish to DISPROVE, then falsify the theory}. If it could have been proven it would have been by now ;especially if you believe in the concreteness of science{science isn’t concrete, it’s about discovery}. If science hasn’t been able to prove it either way by now, I have small hope that science will ever do it in the future.{This is really reaching, the only reason it’s taken this long is because of religious fanaticism, recall Galileo! I shouldn’t have to mention this but, technology plays a pretty hefty roll too. Plus, science doesn’t claim to know everything, Christians do. They claim to know exactly how we began and exactly how we will end, but with no proof to back it. Science is attempting to discover how we began and how we will end with proof to back it. Think about all that we have discovered over the course of scientific history and what more we will discover in the future. We don’t know it all, yet. But the more we pursue knowledge and understanding, to quote Stephen Hawking, “the more remarkable the discoveries we will make”.}
The thing you need to realize is that you can’t call bullshit.{It’s my right and duty to call bullshit, if I were taking the class and paying for it I’d drop the class if a teacher said something so misleading. Believing in something from nothing does NOT defy scientific laws. The law he was referring to is the Law of Conservation of Mass, which he misunderstood. The Law of the Conservation of Mass does state that mass (which can be interchangeable with matter, although matter is a loose term to mean a plethora of things) cannot be created or destroyed. But it only applies to certain systems i.e. closed or isolated. We live in an open or semi-open system, some scientists believe the universe is a closed system, but we don’t know for sure. Physics works within the known laws with specific systems and also in probability. It is more probable that something could come from nothing than an intelligent being coming into existence and creating everything from nothing} Because it’s all relative{facts aren’t relative, beliefs are, i.e. there are 35000 different Christian denominations all based around one Bible.}. Just because you don’t agree with someone doesn’t mean you can call names and the issue goes away.{I apologize for that, it’s a character flaw I’m working really hard at correcting} The thing is that my teacher did make a good point.{If you don’t know much about cosmology and current theories.} I happen to agree with him. You can’t just explain it away. The issue still stands. If you want to explain to me what the guy in the video said that’s fine. But as of right now you have to defend yourself because I can’t view it.{I don’t have to defend it, I’m going to go to school to study cosmology, if the theories are wrong, then me and others will find a way to falsify them. Science is interdisciplinary, which means one lie or bullshit argument drags all the other branches of science down, that’s why it works so great, people can’t bullshit! There is a large international science community that are all peer reviewing new information.}
It’s a legitimate question to ask how, if you believe in the origin of the universe to be the big bang, did matter come from non matter. It’s a good question. If you can answer that question beyond a shadow of a doubt then I will concede. But until you can, quit calling bullshit on people that disagree with you. Just because you can’t answer the question indisputably doesn’t mean it was a bad question or a bad stance on a belief system.{Science is all based on fact that is publicly verifiable. It has nothing whatsoever to do with “belief”, there is no faith required. It is either accepting fact or rejecting fact (aka denial).
Christians make the argument against the non-existence of evolution, and it fails because the proof is in any museum of natural history. Same goes for this situation, no amount of proof or facts I give are going to change you or any other Christians’ mind. In fact the whole concept of matter coming from nothing doesn’t even prove the existence of god, especially the Christian god which is just one of many “gods”. So yes, I call bullshit on your teacher. The origins of the universe don’t have anything to do with god, and your teacher should stick to the subject matter, instead of misleading his students.}
