running down, ity would not be eternal. somthing that is winding
down has to be wound up.
philosophical: Time cannot go back to the past forever. You see it
is impossible to pass through an infinite series of moments. Time
is real and each moment that passes uses up real time that we can
go back to. you can never finsh an infonite series of real things.
If the past is infinite, (if the universe has always exist without
a beginning) then we have never could pass through time to get to
today. if the world never had a beginning, then we could not have
reached today.: so time must have began in a particular time in the
past and today has come at a definite time since then. therefore
the world is a finite event and needs a cause for beginning.
and then there is: arguement from design,.. moral law,.. and
being.[/b]
Big Bang is christian in nature. It was created by a Catholic
priest in 1929. I think thats the main reason why scientist hate
the Big Bang theory LOL.
The Big Bang theory developed from observations of the structure of
the universe and from theoretical considerations. Observers
determined that most "spiral nebulae" were receding from Earth, but
did not grasp the cosmological implications of this fact, or
realize that the supposed nebulae were galaxies outside our Milky
Way.[5] Georges Lemaître, a Belgian Roman Catholic priest,
independently derived the Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker
equations from Albert Einstein's equations of general relativity in
1927 and proposed, on the basis of the recession of spiral nebulae,
that the universe began as a simple "primeval atom"now known as
the Big Bang (wikipedia)
