No offense, but you do not understand science or the scientific process. In real science there is no such thing as j"ust a theory". You mean it's just an hypothesis. Words matter.

An hypothesis doesn't become a theory until it has been replicated consistently many times over. A theory is backed by thousands, if not million s of data points which support the same conclusion.

90 % of what people call a theory in popular culture is really a hypothesis. A theory is as close to a scientific fact as you can get. It's by improvements in technology allowing for greater precision and accuracy does a theory get upended. Many get modified to account for better data, but few get upended.

I am endlessly fascinated by accredited scholars such as Gerald Schroeder (featured in this video) who feel such a powerful personal need to shoehorn science into religion. How could such an intelligent man make the astounding cognitive judgment errors presented in this video? It's boggling.

The information in the video is patently false by most reasonable standards. I really don't have the desire to explain why in any detail because I feel it's somewhat self-evident, sorry. I recommend discarding it.

This is the problem with so called creation science. It is not arriving at a theory based on provable facts and observed evidence, it is cherry-picking facts to fit a pre-existing belief.

Gerald Schroeder, PhD studied at MIT so he could then use all that he learned to "scientifically" push his RELIGIOUS agenda!? Sad, to say the least.

The better option would be not to spread this stupid bullshit around, and not post it anywhere. THAT'S what your dilemma should have been.

It's not a theory, it's a fairytail.

Lol, that's a lot of bullshit with numbers there.
He just took the 15 billion years and hammered down to an arbitrary exponential plus loosely interpretation of cosmological knowledge and biblical text.
This is pseudo-science in its excellence, it does not discover anything, it just hammer down (very imprecisely) know facts with the chosen myth of belief.

"Just a theory" is a stupid phrase. "Just an idea" might be better

Theory:

• a coherent group of tested general propositions, commonly regarded as correct, that can be used as principles of explanation and prediction for a class of phenomena *

that's actual science

not science. not related to science.

g

No.

Just.... No.

I won't even stammer 'why'?

No.

What a load of crap!

“with some scientific insight”? No. Just more horseshit.

More unmitigated bullshit, lamely trying to justify creationist garbage.
I really detest this garbage.

Like @Observer-Effect said, it's not an attack on you, personally.
It's just pathetic.

I wonder how NASA's rockets have been able to penetrate the fimament. Maybe they timed all of their launches to coincide with the windows opening to let the rain in.

Theory? Well, and this is not an attack on you - you didn't make this video - but thats not a "theory", at all. Gravity is a theory. Its a way of trying to hedge superstitions into science/reality. It seems a bit much to even call that a well reasoned "hypothesis" - however that is much more accurate than theory.

This is just desperation. The ancient writers meant six days as we know them--the rising and setting of the sun. And, anyway, there are so many other places in the Bible that are so scientifically ignorant it is laughable; and it is so contradictory that one can easily see that the Bible is a collection of man made stories-- largely borrowed from other cultures, and melded together stories of competing Jewish myths.

If you haven't read "Who Wrote The Bible" by Richard Elliot Friedman, I highly suggest doing so. Another good book to check out is "101 Myths of the Bible," by Gary Greenberg.

Oh geez louise, they get 2 so-called Religious Scientists, a total misnomer to say the least, together to correlate the Goat-Herders Guide to the Galaxy with known FACTS of the Beginning of the Universe and the Evolution of Life on this planet, how bloody biased can a conversation get?
Of course they are going to agree, the more they agree, the more they can keep perpetrating their ages old lie, the more cash they can rake in from the poor and weak-minded fools that willing believe in their arcane, archaic myths, superstitions, etc.

It's like BLAH BLAH BLAH to me.

This is pseudoscience or apologetics. The beginning statements in the book of Genesis let there be, whenever you speak things into being it's called a cantation spell, the same as a genie I grant you three wishes let there be a million dollars, these superstitious bronze age, ignorant savages believe in an invisible genie.

Without the corpse of God I do not see how you get hard, empirical evidence for any deity. Without that hard evidence, God is an assumption, and rationales to support that are rationalizations for why a believer believes the assertion.

Why assume facts not in evidence?

Most people don't actually want the truth. They just want to be told, sometimes desperately so, that what they believe is true.

I appreciate all your replies. As a layman I watched the video and thought it possible to me. sorry that I seemed to annoy and upset so many of you with my simple mind. I do not believe in the bible stories but his talk is present day and would not time be different from different places and times in the universe as it expands? maybe one of you can give me a link as to this. try to be nice as I am serious about learning stuff like this

Complete horseshit. Just pulls the figures out of his ass. But if you're dumb enough to believe in fairy tales it might just work on you.

Great interview.
Might've been aliens with advanced knowledge somehow infusing the Genesis myth with scientific underpinnings.

There is no correlation in Genesis and the actual factual way the universe developed. This is all post-hoc attempts to make primitive men writing from their imagination and lack of understanding how the universe works seem wise and it's a failure every time.
