Because WLC is a tit and doesn't understand how "time" works.

 

D'oh!

Yeah Michael, I've run into this sort of thing several times, in my discussions at work, along with all of the grotesque misunderstandings of Evolution.  The Big Bang is not creation ex nihilo.  It's just an expansion event.

Not really spam, if it's topical.

Hello, sorry for the spam, but it's for a good cause. Along with some friends I'm launching a website called "rational society"(www.sociedaderacional.org). The site is in Portuguese but you can translate the page to the language you wish, and send texts for publication.I invite everyone to visit us. thanks

Exactly.  Science doesn't know everything, but scientists freely admit that while they keep searching.  Religion doesn't know anything, but can't admit it.  So religion tries to dictate science.

I agree with Mike K. "If" there is a multiverse, then no one universe makes up all that exists; and the definition becomes inaccurate. Even if we do not know for sure that such a scenario exists, the concept should be addressed using accurate definitions. It's ironic that throughout history how religious "facts" quickly become fictions, while fictions of science have become facts at nearly the same rate. And to address Craigart14; your post reminds me of a quote I heard: "Science doesn't know everything, but religion doesn't know anything."

Two separate shows, I think?  I tried to watch the half-hour panel discussion, but it seemed to be the usual science-can't-answer-the-big questions claptrap.  No one will say on TV that religion can't answer them either, and that science isn't terribly interested in them.  No one ever thinks to point out the obvious fact that religion can't answer scientific questions.  Stephen Hawking's 90 minutes were well done, with beautiful and clear illustrations.  The fact that he's alive and can communicate reveals the power of science and the need for more and more research.

The comments section at curiosity.com (Discovery's domain for the show) is rather discouraging. The show however looks as if it will be one worth following. Imagining it will be torrentable in a day or so.. ;)

Stephen Hawkings once said, during a talk about western science's big bang origins myth, he was giving the first few nanoseconds to the pope. Okay, he came to the party late.

Some cosmologists are saying time and space originated with the big bang. These guys have no excuse.

Joseph P- I just started a discussion thread.  I don't have a link for the entire show, but I did post one for the segments.  I'll keep looking.
