So is gravity - why not jump off a building to test it?

How so? It may be invisible angels pulling everything down? It could be God? You may jump off a building and float away - you can't deny it unless you test it.

Are you stupid? Has anyone jump off a building and started float away? I have never seen or heard of it.

I'm pointing out to you the fallacy of your statement about something being "just a theory". A theory is the very highest and most universal, strongly supported explanation of scientific evidence there can be. The Big Bang isn't "just an idea" (which is what I assume you meant), it is a very strongly supported explanation for the state of the universe as we see it.

Wow, I'm beginning to see how you might not understand basic science.

yes, but unless we go out a see it, it still a theory. For examble: we didn't know what space was like in the 50's. We had all theory on how it was. then when we went up there and saw what it was like.

Yes, and so it gravity.

[b]What precisely is your question?

It's at the bottom of pg 9: Give ten examples please (possibly with their peer reviewed postulations of how this clear violation of the thermodynamic and matter-conservation laws occurred).

What assertion is it that you need evidence for?

Scott: There are millions of scientists alive who will tell you ...[text shortened]... nothing.

What would constitute evidence, anyway?

It's right there in my question.[/b]
Well, Scott and I disagree on this.

I agree that the Big Bang happened. I agree that the universe was born at that point and that
everything that exists now is the product of that event.

I do not agree that time 'started' then. I do not believe that time ever 'started,' just as I don't
think that axes on a Cartesian plane start. We merely mark time = 0 at the big bang just like we mark the intersection of abscissa and ordinate; it is a logical convenience.

I also do not believe that it is scientifically 'logical' to conclude that matter/energy was 'created'
then. To opine that the universe came about ex nihilo or that it has always existed is a
matter of faith -- neither can be demonstrated to be compellingly true, since we do not know what
existed in the time before the Big Bang. No scientist can provide evidence about the state of the
universe even one second before the Big Bang, so any answer is merely a matter of blind faith.

How can you say gravity is a theory?

Because it is an explanation of the way that bodies are attracted to other bodies.
