Its a useful model, who cares if its correct? My view on evolution vs. creationism too.

I think in science its good to be agnostic about things that aren't really practical considerations.

It's currently the best theory we have :shrug:

It's a wonderful theory, but it's only that: a theory. Waiting to be replaced by the next.

For the record, I think that based on current knowledge of physics the universe began 15 or so billion years ago, in something resembling a "big bang" type event.

All the evidence points to it, so no matter what we 'feel' is correct we should accept it (unless we observe new, differing evidence).

I did not mean to downplay the importance of what a "theory" in science is, just trying to point out that while it is "currently accepted" we are only ever one discovery away from a new theory.

I think this sums up what a theory is to science:
"We regard all these theories as well supported, testable explanations, that provide natural explanations for natural phenomena."

I wasn't sure, thus I brought this video up so that the ones who don't know the concept of a scientific theory don't think of it as merely some kind of an "idea" or even a "guess".

Yea but that new theory will almost certainly be only a slight modification of the current theory. That has been the pattern with new theories so far.

It will probably only be a small modification, keeping in line with other recent discoveries in science :wink:

Big Bang is the only convincing way to explain the Cosmic Background Radiation, the Cosmological Red-shift, and other pools of observed evidence.

Until a better explanation for the CBR and CRS shows up, I'll accept Big Bang as the likely correct explanation.

I'm with Diploid on this. Couldn't have said it better, myself.

Big bang I think is pretty much right on, but this was not the beginning of All-That-Is... only the beginning of THIS universe.  And perhaps not the beginning of this universe but maybe a recycling of it?  Anyway, i think its right on but by no means marks the start.  Maybe just the birth of a blackhole in another universe? :sun:

I don't view the big bang as incompatible with creationism. I believe in evolution for the most part, but that doesn't mean I think its likely we all evolved from a beaker of dissolved gasses.

On some questions, the simplest solution given all known evidence is that a guy in the clouds did make us.
