The Big Bang and Crackpots - Alan Guth, PhD

The Big Bang Theory is the accepted scientific model for the beginning of the universe. Sadly, some atheists and creationists do not accept the Big Bang Model. Alan Guth is blunt about those who do not accept the model: they're crackpots.

I believe if Guth was confronted with the Kalam Cosmological Argument he'd raise up the ol' "what caused God then" retort or "who designed the designer." Guth is a wonderful scientist. I just wish his philosophical worldview was its equal.

To a cosmologist “the Universe” is all matter, space, energy and time. There can be no cause of that if the Universe is all there is (atheism), the Kalam cosmological argument argues that both an eternal universe and an uncaused universe is untenable.
So you need a transcendent cause beyond the universe that is timeless, spaceless etc. That is essentially God, it’s not a “God-of-the-gaps” as you so put it.

There is no mention of God in the Kalam Cosmological Argument. So, it's a far cry from being a "God of the gaps" argument: watch?v=l9Me8Y-HmRo. The Kalam Cosmological Argument is a deductive argument.

If you don't know how the universe got caused, then don't say that God is not a plausible answer. You're being biased.

LOL! You skipped everything I said. All you're doing is venting. Please, troll some place else.

Let the jimmies rustle through you atheists.

You know when you can't put in the appropriate grammar, when you misspell words and when you put some in block capitals, it makes you look like a nut.

[andrewwells]

“That’” should include an “s” and it should say “theories” not “theory”.
Also when you make that laugh and try these shitty insults, something is obviously wrong with you, so I'm not going to even waste my time.

Then, don't respond. If I believed in anything, I would spew it all over the place. I asked for proof of gods and you hate me too much to give me your proof. Damn, I missed it. Ha. You pointed out the difference in our use of English punctuation in our respective countries. Do you have proof for god? Yeah, and I'm the idiot. I'd rather mop the floor. But thanks for nothing, Andy.

"Timeless." That rich. You guys make it up as you go along, huh? We use proven math to postulate theory. You guys must use LSD. Who made god? Oh, timeless. Ha. The universe has EVOLVED without you and your "stories." You want to prove gods exist?
