: : Recently, I had a conversation with a girl who mentioned that she believes time doesn't exist. Being the thinker that I am, this idea aroused my mind like nothing ever. And what was so weird about it was that this idea made sense. As an atheist, I have always accepted the Big Bang theory because it seems to make sense. Now I'll admit that I had an idea of what the Big Bang was but didn't know all the details. Obvioulsy, I don't accept the Creation theory. I'm not the smartest person on Earth. I don't claim to know everything. But since this new revelation of time not existing, I have really researched these two controversial theories more than ever as best as I can on the internet. And using my mind (being a freethinker allows me to do this), I've come to the conclusion that neither of these theories make any sense at all. I've been reading about them for weeks and weeks. I have not read any books on these theories because I'm assuming that the information I've read on the internet was sufficient enough for me to understand the theories without having to pour through tons of books only to basically read the same exact information masked by scientific and theological jargon. : I will attempt to prove that these theories are impossible. I will not babble on incoherently. I will try to be as clear and concise as I can. My dialect is pretty simple average everyday talk anyway. I tend to shy away from extravagant, wordy sentences unless I feel I need to go that route. If you can't follow what I'm saying then you have a problem and I suggest you fix that problem. : Okay, on with the show. There are two reasons the afformentioned theories just don't work. They are the non-existence of "nothing" and time.

: First reason: "nothing" doesn't exist. The Big Bang theory says that "nothing" existed before the event. Some kind of void existed that we can't possibly understand or even imagine because our minds are limited. Well, that's the first mistake. Our minds aren't limited. Sure, our minds die when we die but if we were immortal, then our minds would be unlimited. Just because we don't have any immortal humans existing today doesn't mean that it can't happen sometime in the future. There could just possibly be a future drug that can extend human life forever. Knowledge is not finite. Our brains aren't the file cabinet you think they are. There is no real "space" that knowledge is stored in. You don't run out of room to store knowledge. Let's say you learned everything you can. I know this sounds like a contradiction but what happens if you learn one more thing? Okay, so you forget many things throughout your life. That doesn't mean you lose that knowledge. Our minds are not limited. There's always something new to learn because knowledge is infinite. If we can't understand what "nothing" is today, it could be possible to understand it tomorrow. But, since the concept of "nothing" exists, I feel that we can understand the concept of a real "nothing" existing. You already have an idea what "nothing" is. Whether you envision total blackness or total whiteness, it's still your concept of "nothing". My concept of "nothing" could be a giant rabbit. Look, the point isn't what we use to symbolise "nothing", the point is that we can and do understand what the concept of "nothing" is. It's NOthing, the absence of anything, a void "universe". So why doesn't this "nothing" exist? Simple...if "nothing" existed, it would be something because of the fact that it would exist. If it exists, it's something. So "nothing" can not exist. Both, the Big Bang and Creation theories require a "nothing" that happened "before" their respective events. That alone should disprove the theories but it's not enough for most people so now I get to explain the...

: Second reason: time doesn't exist. Since "nothing" can't exist, time cant exist. If time can't exist then "nothing" can't exist. It's very simple. If the "nothing" existed, then time would have to exist within the "nothing". The Big Bang theory says this isn't so. It says that time and space were created as a result of the Big Bang. So...one common question is "What happened before the Big Bang?" Simple..."nothing". A complete void...then all of a sudden...BANG!!!! BUT, if this happened then think about 5 seconds before the Bang...5 minutes before the Bang...5 years before the Bang...5 billion years before the Bang. Of course nothing happened since it's "nothing" but time would have to exist within the "nothing" since you can actually think about 5 seconds of "nothing". If you could somehow be present before the Big Bang, you could actually count down the minutes and seconds until the Bang happened. The Big Bang theory says this isn't possible but it would be possible. It would be 5 uneventful seconds but seconds nontheless. Or minutes or hours, days, years et cetera. They would be uneventful measurements of time. That's all time really is: a measurement. The Earth goes around the sun once a year. That's what our time is based on. But the time I'm talking about, the time that would have to exist before the Big Bang can't exist. You see, if the "nothing" existed then time would have to exist within it, therefore making the "nothing" even more of a something. The Big Bang supposedly created everything yet here's two "things" that existed prior to the event.

: Ok, I've established that time and "nothing" can't exist so how's this disprove the Big Bang? Again, it's very simple if you really think about it. The Universe is EVERYTHING that exists. The Big Bang is said to have created the Universe. The Universe is one set. There aren't 2 sets consisting of a void universe and the Known Universe like most scientists think. The Universe is EVERYTHING that exists. I'm sounding like a broken record (record? what's that?) but I need to make sure I get this very important point across. Everything and anything that has ever or will ever exist(ed) must be inside the Universe. Since time and "nothing" exist before the Big Bang and since the Big Bang created the Universe, time and "nothing" exist outside the Universe. This is wrong. The Universe is EVERYTHING that exists. If time and "nothing" exist then they must exist within the Universe. They can't exist outside or before the creation of the Universe. So if "nothing" can't exist outside the Universe then what is the Universe expanding into? If "nothing" isn't beyond the Universe then what exactly is out there? I'll let you think about this for a couple minutes. When you're finished, read on.

: : Finished? Good, I was sick of waiting. :-) Ok, here's the answer. THE UNIVERSE IS INFINITE AND ETERNAL. That's it. Very simple. Since the Universe is infinite and eternal then time and "nothing" can't exist. Since time and "nothing" can't exist then the Universe must be infinite and eternal. There is no other explaination. There can't be any other explaination. Since the Universe is infinite and eternal, then the Big Bang couldn't have created it. The Universe wasn't created...it always existed. The Universe won't end...it will always exist. There is evidence to support the expanding Universe. The galaxies are moving away from each other as if something caused them to (i.e. The Big Bang). I just disproved the Big Bang so what's causing the Universe to "expand"? Maybe some kind of bang did happen. If it did, it must've happened within the Universe. This is an area that I'm still unfamiliar with so I can't really comment too much about it but the fact remains...the galaxies are moving away from each other. Something caused it. God?

: I know what you're thinking...Wait a second, you haven't disproved Creation yet. Yes I have. It's very simple. Go back over everything I talked about and substitute Big Bang with Creation. Creation says the same thing. "Nothing" existed before then all of a sudden God decides to create the Universe. Since the Universe is EVERYTHING that exists, God (or any kind of Creator) must exist within the Universe. How can God create something that "he" must exist within? That's saying that "he" existed in the "nothing" which would really be something. If God is the answer to why the Universe exists then why can't we ask where God came from? We can and we do. All of us do at one time or another. It's what made some of us atheist or agnostic. Some will say that we can't understand God, that humans weren't meant to understand. Okay...then if we really don't know anything about God...then how do we know anything about God? "The Bible." Ha!! Sorry, no-can-do. There are thousands of religions. Chritianity isn't the right one. None of them are. Each and every religion feels their beliefs are the correct one. So the correct question is: If we don't really know anything about gods (and we don't), then how do we know anything about gods? : I don't have physical proof of the non-existence of the Big Bang and Creation theories. The proof lies within my mind. It can lie within yours too if you think about it.

Hey, stupid.-----The big bang theory does not state that there was ABSOLUTELY nothing before the big bang. It states that ALL of the matter in Existence (the whole universe) was compressed into one space, this was before protons, neutrons, electrons, and all the other sub-atomic particles were formed----It was all PURE matter----, all the matter being in one place caused so much friction and heat that it just exploded and has been expanding ever since.
