Congratulations, indeed. GK Paul's "ignore list" is a roll of honor. Isn't he just precious with his cute little tantrums? I wonder how he's planning to continue here once he's excommunicated everyone?

The bible says to love your enemy so there is really no hard feelings. It's just that the personal attacks are a distraction and interfere with logic and skeptical thinking. Good Luck

So instead of persevering in the face of a difficult situation you choose to forego your primary responsibility of spreading the Truth of which you are so certain. One has to ask, "Is this what Jesus would have you do?"

On or off his ignore list. I still do not know what the difference is.

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck... then maybe he's always been ignoring everyone, eh? GK is like a raving street preacher who talks at people, but never listens. He knows the Truth. Listening to others would only confuse him.

You mean like a consultant?

Well, I didn't want to be that mean. I might get put on the super-ultra-secret ignore list. (See consultant joke.)

Am I on the list? I don't know. I really haven't participated in this ron-de-lay very much because I've done it so many times before, the scene's become a little stale and tedious. They never seem to come up with anything but the same, tired, old booshwah.

Ah well; no matter. If I'm not on this list, I'm sure I'll make another sooner or later.

Have I made the ignore list? I mean, I was VERY rude to you when I pointed out all the numerous lies that you made, you little snot-nosed punk.

You do realize that "Ignoring" us says much more about you than us. It is the equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and screaming, "Lalalalal, I am NOT LISTENING TO YOU!"

Of course, ignoring us says that you are afraid of what you may hear. Ignoring us says that you aren't interested in an open debate of ideas.

But we already knew that, you gutless turd.

Your sky daddy is ashamed of your abject cowardice.

So, am I on Ignore, yet, punk?

Does the curent Big Bang theory assume that there was or was not matter before the Big Bang? I have heard both and I have not found a satisfactory answer. Can anyone here help?

That's not fair, Fripp. Trying to deliberately get on God-boy's Ignore List is cheating!

The Big Bang theory does not address what was before the big Bang. I think implicitly the theory assumes that there was no matter (actually no 'space') before the big bang. Space, energy and later matter, as the universe cooled, came into existance as a result of the big bang.

Robb-- I'm shocked! You mean that after reading though this thread and its follow-up, you still haven't figured that out?!? But it's clearly spelled out on... er, well, nevermind.

What furshur and Cune said.

All I can offer is a link to one of my Bar Jokes, that deals with an aspect of your question. Not much wisdom you'll get from that gag, and maybe scant laughter, but it is the only one of the jokes that I actually created without rewriting an old joke.

I said I was not going to respond to your posts unless you told me how you believe the world was created.

I'm coming into this conversation sort of late...

About 4.6 billion years ago the solar system and the earth formed from a large cloud of primarily hydrogen and helium with many trace elements that had formed in earlier stars. Something caused one area of the cloud to collapse. It could have been a body moving through the cloud or a shockwave from a nearby supernova. At any rate the cloud began to collapse due to gravity and the small amount of angular momentum present caused the collapsing cloud to rotate faster and faster as it collapsed. The rotation caused the cloud to flatten into a proto-planetary disc. As the center of the disc became more dense the gravity well became stronger and more material accumulated until the pressure and heat was sufficient for a proto star (which would become the sun) to form and nuclear reactions to begin to occur. The material in the outer areas of the proto-planetary disc began to 'clump' together due to gravity. Small fragments were attracted together forming larger and larger fragments until a large percentage of the material was formed into planets, one of them being the earth. The radiation and solar wind from the newly formed sun blew away most of the lighter elements in the planetary disc and the larger fragments of material continued to rain in on the planets.

That is pretty much how I think the earth formed; explained in a very general and simplistic way.

Any entry level book on astronomy will have a much better explanation of the formation of the earth. Check one out from the library.



If I knew then what I know now then I would know more now than I know.
