I decided to make a seperate thread on this instead of putting it in the "holy universe batman" one.
So, scientists reckon the universe generated from something the size of a needle. I think its a load of rubbish, how could something so small create what we have today?
What are your thoughts on this Big Bang theory?

Your poll is both shiny and bright. In Micra speak. (Thank you Top Gear).
Anyways I believe God made the Earth, but not that Scientists know nothing. The Big Bang theory is funny, you get all these non-religious people laughing at "us" because "we" believe the Earth was created by a superior force, but they can't see what's ironic about their story. But hey, it's all opinions and if mine is respected I can return the favour.

Right, something I learnt from RS lesson (I learnt something from them?!?!?!  ). If God created the Universe, and as many religious stories point out, there was nothing before it was created, then how could have God existed? *Rests his case*

God is the within. God is whoever and whatever I want Him to be, as he has no set shape or structure. You were obviously messing around during that lesson.
Now answer the question.

That is your personal opinion of 'God' (i never knew you were religious, are you SURE you're not putting this on?  ). It is not an actual proven fact, unlike the Big Bang, which is proven with the Red Shift theory.
And as for answering your question, YOU try to answer an unanswerable question.

| From what I can gather about the Big Bang all the matter in the universe agglomerated together, with the force of gravity both compressing all matter into an infintessimal space and also causing corespondingly intense heat, presumably to the point where the whole thing exploded, ejecting matter 13.5 billion light years from the point of origin. I believe that when the momentum from the Big Bang is dissipated, matter will begin to accumulate again and eventually another Big Bang will result. So before the Big Bang was a another universe and before that another BB, ad infinitum. |

Are you kidding me? I wore a chain with a cross on it to school for most of last year until someone broke it, how did you not notice? Just because I don't preach doesn't mean I can't be a believer. Although yeah, I'm not really religious, I think places likes churches are farces.
Are you talking about the Big Bang theory here? You know, the one that we were even told in Science is only a Scientific theory? It's definitely not fact, there is evidence to prove that one of Manchester United/Chelsea/Liverpool all have the strongest squads in the Premiership, doesn't mean it's fact.
I'm guessing this is your question:

Nothing existed in the place of the Universe, God had not created the Sun yet either so I'm guessing it was all darkness.
Now answer mine.

Notice that it is only a theory they can't and never will prove that the Big Bang created the universe because it didn't. Science is all about theories, that's why I think it's a load of bull. The theories they come up with, they have to prove, and unless they prove the big bang did happen, you shouldn't believe what they say.

Then it is as much a theory as is God's existance (which in some ways can't even be called a theory).

All I done was express my surprise that you were slightly religious. Besides, many who wear a cross do so out of habit, or because they feel they get some kind of different social stigma from wearing it. And before you say anything, NO, i'm not saying you do the above, i'm simply saying that many people do.
And as for your question, it has many physicisatians (Yes, wrong spelling ) tearing their hair out. The only answer I can think of is that it existing in the same 'substance/nothingness' that the Universe is expanding out into at present.

Well, while I believe that the Big Bang is a very strong & interesting theory, I'm not 100% convienced by it. I guess I'm just waiting for another, better, theory to come along or something to disprove the existing theories.
What I don't belive is that a god created the universe. Gods are just stories created by early humans to explain the unknown.

Ahh the Big Crunch theory. I used to wonder about that one myself, until I saw an episode of Horizon once, where they pointed out that actually, the universe (sssh! aalpha may be reading) isn't slowing down, but speeding up in expansion. This does actually remove a lot of the ideas of the big crunch, because things have to be slowing down, to come to a stop, before you can go into reverse, or at least, so I imaged... New Scientist begs to differ with me!
I had then believed that we would go onto a big expansion, finally ending in heat death or a big freeze, of course, the whole cycle starts again
That seems to make the most sense to me, meaning that, somewhere out there... are 'dead universes'
The trouble I have with accepting a big bang-big crunch theory is that...
If the universe has being going bang-crunch-bang-bang-crunch-bang-bang-crunch-bang and so on. Is everything we do, everything we say, everything we are, already been predetermined? - already acted out, for eons into the past?
For example, there is a empty cup by my keyboard, earlier I went downstairs to make a cup of tea. Has that action been performed an infinite number of times before in all the universes before? - is everything fixed? - I'm not entirely sure I like the idea of all my actions, despite being 'free' to of been already decided. While it is a possibility I understand, it just strikes me as being an awful lot of constants having to go off at the same time to maintain 'the butter fly effect' for other events, across infinity.

Didn't it? - you sound very sure there, sounds like you're almost stating a fact.

Calling God's existence theory is insulting tbh. Who are you, or anyone else to think that you are better than anyone who has lived thousands of years before you? If you don't believe in God that is fine, however it is not a theory, it is a belief. Get it right and prevent yourself being publicly embarrassed.

Actually you are, as you placed me in that group of people 
My question still stands then, albeit slightly differently:
What is the universe expanding into right now?

I don't think anyone is 100% convinced by it, but people go along with it as Scientists preach it, whereas the alternate isn't allowed to be preached. Political Correctness and all that censorship crap.
Unfortunately Helen, the second part of your post is rather ignorant and I would consider revising it, not just because it is insulting but because it is very close-minded. It also sounds like you have listened to mainstream culture and nodded under pressure.

| Quote: | In science, a theory is a mathematical or logical explanation, or a testable model of the manner of interaction of a set of natural phenomena, capable of predicting future occurrences or observations of the same kind, and capable of being tested through experiment or otherwise falsified through empirical observation. It follows from this that for scientists "theory" and "fact" do not necessarily stand in opposition. For example, it is a fact that an apple dropped on earth has been observed to fall towards the center of the planet, and the theories commonly used to describe and explain this behaviour are Newton's theory of universal gravitation (see also gravitation), and general relativity.

| Quote: | The Big Bang is the cosmological model of the universe whose primary assertion is that the universe has expanded into its current state from a primordial condition of enormous density and temperature. The term is also used in a narrower sense to describe the fundamental "fireball" that erupted at or close to time t=0 in the history of the universe.[1]
Observational evidence for the Big Bang includes the analysis of the spectrum of light from galaxies, which reveal a shift towards longer wavelengths proportional to each galaxy's distance in a relationship described by Hubble's law. Combined with the assumption that observers located anywhere in the universe would make similar observations (the Copernican principle), this suggests that space itself is expanding. Extrapolation of this expansion back in time yields a state in the distant past in which the universe was in a state of immense density and temperature. This hot, dense state is the key premise of the Big Bang. Observations now place the age of the universe at around 13.7 billion years.
Theoretical support for the Big Bang comes from mathematical models, called Friedmann models. These models show that a Big Bang is consistent with general relativity and with the cosmological principle, which states that the properties of the universe should be independent of position or orientation.
The theory of Big Bang nucleosynthesis predicts the rates at which various light elements are created in models of the early universe and gives results that are generally consistent with observations. The Big Bang model also predicts the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB), a background of weak microwave radiation filling the whole universe. The discovery of the CMB in 1964 led to general acceptance among physicists that the Big Bang is the best model for the origin and evolution of the universe.

dont see anything about a needle in there??
