Barotix, you seem to be struggling under the false impression that scientific theories get promoted into laws. They don't. Laws describe specific analytical relationships and don't go through the evolutionary process.
The problem centers on the fact that the concept of a scientific "LAW" is anachronistic because it originated at a time when the Almighty was thought to have established the laws of nature and to have decreed that nature must obey them...
Today, all theories are subject to scrutiny and observation and revision. It is a common misconception that "good theories" are promoted into scientific laws, they aren't, never have been and never will be. A quick example would be if you dropped two objects from a tower, one a cannonball, the other a golf ball. One could state that it is a FACT that the objects were observed to have fallen toward the earth. Two differing theories have been advanced to describe the fall, Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation and Einsteins Specific Theory of Relativity. Neither theory will become a Scientific LAW. In Physics the first law of Thermodynamics deals with Conservation.
Isaac Asimov wrote:This law [1st Law of Thermodynamics] is considered the most powerful and most fundamental generalization about the universe that scientists have ever been able to make. No one knows why energy is conserved... All that anyone can say is that in over a century and a quarter of careful measurement scientists have never been able to point to a definite violation of energy conservation, either in the familiar everyday surroundings about us, or in the heavens above or in the atoms within.
Issac Asimov postulates his theory of
ORIGIN OF MATTER:
Isaac Asimov wrote:Perhaps in an infinite sea of nothingness, globs of positive and negative energy in equal-sized pairs are constantly forming, and after passing through evolutionary changes, combining once more and vanishing. We are in one of these blobs in the period of time between nothing and nothing, and wondering about it.
Asimov again - here speaking of the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics:
Another way of stating the second law then is 'The universe is constantly getting more disorderly!' Viewed that way we can see the second law all about us. We have to work hard to straighten a room, but left to itself it becomes a mess again very quickly and very easily. Even if we never enter it, it becomes dusty and musty. How difficult to maintain houses, and machinery, and our own bodies in perfect working order: how easy to let them deteriorate. In fact, all we have to do is nothing, and everything deteriorates, collapses, breaks down, wears out, all by itself–and that is what the second law is all about.
Issac Asimov wrote:DEMANDS A BEGINNING, Isaac Asimov, "As far as we know, all changes are in the direction of increasing entropy, of increasing disorder, of increasing randomness, of running down. Yet the universe was once in a position from which it could run down for trillions of years. How did it get into that position?"
The concept of the Big Bang began with the thought that since we could observe the universe expanding we could also imagine time being rolled backwards. 1 hundred years ago the universe was smaller, obviously. A thousand years ago it was smaller still. Given a million or a trillion years the imagined contraction of the universe would result in a universe that was necessarily small enough to be called "TINY".
The Bible wrote:I am trying to arouse you to wholesome thinking by means of reminders; so that you will keep in mind the predictions of the holy prophets and the command given by the Lord and Deliverer through your emissaries.
First, understand this: during the Last Days, scoffers will come, following their own desires and asking, "Where is this promised 'coming' of his? For our fathers have died, and everything goes on just as it has since the beginning of creation."
The concept of the Big Bang fulfills this prophecy perfectly. "Everything goes on just as it has since the beginning."
If you wish to call my understanding of creation an opposing "theory", fine. My "theory" predicts that scoffers will come and that one of their main messages will be, "Everything goes on just as it has since the beginning."
I guess we just proved something at least, right?
your point is clear and i see your perspective. Personally, I find that we shouldnt be able to call it wrong but its all about self-preference is it not? Ty for a few clear ups there as well~
