Data: Argument from Ignorance/ the Bang/ Absolute Proof

Taught: The Argument from Ignorance combines the Atheists and Theists. It means that If we argue an unproven X, then that X can't Solve any Y. I t can Prove Nothing. Neither Atheists or Theists can Absolutely Prove our First Cause. In the Absence of Absolute Proof, we can Evaluate the Various Arguments' Strengths and Weaknesses.

Data: Cosmological Arguments/ First Cause/ Fr. George Lemaitre/ Singularity

Taught: The first person that brought up the Big Bang was Fr. George Lemaitre. He took Einstein's theory and made the Big Bang Theory. Fr. George Lemaitre came to the conclusion that our Universe must have begun with a Singularity. Singularity is when All Matter in the Universe is Compressed and then Explodes. So, our Universe had An Absolute Beginning of Space and Time, and of Matter and Energy. Cosmological Arguments concentrate on what might have Caused the Big Bang.

Data: No Infinite Regress/ First Cause/ Theists/ Materialists

Taught: Neither Atheists or Theists accept Infinite Regress. Infinite Regress is the Inability or Refusal to determine a First Cause. Logically unacceptable because infinite things can't exist. There has to be a First Cause for Everything.

Data: Law of Nothing/ No Beginning/ First Cause/ Bang

Taught: "Nothing" Can't be the First Cause. This would mean there has Never been Nothing. This means that there has always been Something. The Law of Nothing unites both Materialists and Theists.

Data: Principle of Causality/ Beginning=Cause and End/ Cause/ Effect

Taught: The Principle of Causality Unites Materialists and Theists. Everything that has a Beginning Must have a Cause and an End. A Cause is always Greater than the Effect. Unless the Principle of Causality is agreed upon, no Science, no Logic, and no Mathematics are even Possible.

Data: Our Universe's Timeline/ 14 Billion/10 Billion/ 4 Billion/ Big Bang/ Life and No Life

Taught: The Singularity Event occurred 14 Billion years Ago.  There was 10 Billion years, after the Big Bang, where there was No Life in the Universe. Evidence of Life occurs about 4 Billion years Ago. In both cases, we are looking for the First Cause.

Data: For Catholics-Bang is No Problem/ Proto Verse/ Pope Pius XII/ 1951/ Pope Francis I

Taught: The Proto Verse says that God is the Uncaused First Cause. Creation sprang from Nothing. God spoked A Word, and therefore the World has an Absolute Beginning. So the Singularity Theory has No Conflict with the First Verse of The Bible. Pope Pius XII calls Fr. Lemaitre into the Vatican and makes the Big Bang an Article of Faith for Catholics. Pope Francis I said that "The Big Bang does not contradict the intervention of a divine creator, but depends on it". Catholics don't have a big Problem with Scientific Discoveries.

Data: St. Paul/ No Excuses argument/ Rom 1:20/ Self-Evident/ Intelligent Design

Taught: St. Paul Argues that you don't need Divine Revelation, or Bible to Discover God Exists. This can be seen through Natural Revelation because that Self-Evident Truth is Everywhere. The Proof of Intelligent Design is Everywhere.

Data: Kalam Argument/ Early Cosmological Argument/ Al-Kindi/ 600 AD/ Lacked Evidence

Taught: The Kalam Argument is attributed to an Islamic Muslim, Al-Kindi. If the World had a Beginning, it had to have a Cause. Al-Kindi's logic was airtight. In 600 AD, there was no Scientific Validation for the facts that our Universe had an Absolute Beginning. Most people living at that time believed that the Earth had Always been there.

Data: Our Universe/ Absolutely Began/ BVG Theorem/

Taught: The BVG Theorem stands for the last names, Borde, Vilenkin, and Guth. They came up with a group of Mathematical Proofs that Support The Big Bang. Any expanding Universe must have an Absolute Beginning, Big Bang, or Singularity. They said that this Truth applies to Every Universe, not just Ours. So there would have to be a Big Bang in Every Universe.

Data: First Cause/ Uncaused 1st Mover/ Motion Argument/ St. Thomas Aquinas/ Summa Theologica/ Omnipresent

Taught: St. Thomas Aquinas concluded the Summa Theologica. This was his 5 Ways explain that Proving God doesn’t Exist is Unreasonable. The Motion Argument is that The Big Bang demands a First Cause, but he says this First Cause must be Uncaused. The First Mover must be Omnipresent for this to be Possible. God is Only Now. God is a Spiritual Being, not Matter, and He is A Powerful Mind.

Data: No Accidents Allowed/ Motion Argument/ Newton's 3rd Law of Motion

Taught: Newton's 3rd Law of Motion argues that Ever Action demands an Equal and opposite Reaction. Newton's 3rd Law doesn't Prove St. Thomas Aquinas' Motion Argument, it enhances it. If A moves, something Equal or Greater than A Moved it. Only Something Greater than the Bang was able to Move the Bang.

Data: Tetragrammaton/ Omnipresent/ Only Now/ Ex 3:14/ Motion Argument

Taught: The Tetragrammaton compliments the Motion Argument. Moses runs away and is chasing sheep in desert and God shows in a burning bush. Moses asked God for His name, and God replied, "I am who I am".  This is a Perfect Present Tense. God is Always Present, or Omnipresent. God is Only Now. YHWH is the substitute for the name of God.

Data: Science=Scrambling for a First Cause/ Singularity Theorem/ Stephen Hawking

Taught: Stephen Hawking came to fame over his Singularity Theorem. Stephen Hawking gave us Scientific Evidence for the Singularity, Absolute Beginning of Time. There is Extensive Scientific Evidence that Exists for the Big Bang. Stephen Hawking spends 20-30 years of his life trying to find a Bang to the Big Bang.

Data: Scientism/ Natural Causes Alone/ First Cause/ Biology

Taught: Scientism impacts much of All Modern Biological and Cosmological Science. Scientism is An Exaggerated trust and reliance on the Scientific Method Alone for all Answers. You can only trust Natural Causes alone. The First Cause Can only be Material, Accidental, and Unguided.

Data: Matter can't Create Itself/ Law of Conservation/ No "Poofs"

Taught: Matter Can't Create Itself. Matter and Energy can't be Created Or Destroyed. The Law of Conservation is the first law of Thermodynamics. This makes the Big Bang Theory a Scientific Mystery. There are No Spontaneous "Poofs" Allowed. This forces people like Stephen Hawking to look for Material Cause before the Big Bang.

Data: Oscillating Universe Argument/ Vilenkin/ BVG Theorem/ Endless Bangs

Taught: Vilenkin spent years Trying to Formulate the Oscillating Universe Argument. The Oscillating Universe Argument says that we have been living in a series of Endless Bangs and Crunches. There was a Big Bang and that Universe Expanded until it crunched back down Endlessly. Our Big Bang might have just been one of the many Bangs.

Data: Vilenkin/ Maybe BVG=Wrong/ Singularity/ Absolute Beginning

Taught: Vilenkin says that maybe the Big Bang wasn't a "one-off event, but merely one of a series of big bangs creating an endless number of bubble universes". Singularity and Absolute Beginning Probably did happen. Vilenkin came to a conclusion that the Universe did have an Absolute Beginning.

Data: Empty dooms Oscillating Argument

Taught: What really killed the Oscillating Universe Idea was the Law of Entropy. The Law of Entropy is the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics.  We have to work really hard to keep the brick wall from falling down. We have to keep putting gas in our car, so our car doesn't break down.  Our Universe still contains a lor of Energy. Long before we got here, All the Energy would have been All used up. So the Universe is still young.

Data: Hartle-Hawking Theorem/ Stephen Hawking/ New Calculations/ No Bang/ No Creator/ No God

Taught: Stephen Hawking's Best Seller is called The Grand Design. He says if the Universe is Completely Self-Contained, then he could Eliminate the need for God. He believed that Quantum Mechanic Calculations might Substitute a Wave Function to Eliminate the Absolute Beginning of the Universe. Then if there was No Absolute Beginning, then that would Eliminate the need for a God.  New theories occur and his hope is that his new Calculation may advise a

Data: Poof, not Proof/ Spontaneous Creation/ Stephen Hawking

Taught: If we Couple Stephen Hawking's Wave Idea with Preexistent forces, you can eliminate the Singularity with Spontaneous Creation. Spontaneous Creation argues that with a law such as Gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from Nothing. Quantum Mechanics and Preexistent Conditions will bring us to a Never Beginning Universe. This brings the Question: "Where did the Gravity come from?".

Data: Calculations Can't Create/ Hartle Hawking/ Quantum Physics/ Imaginary Dara

Taught: This argues that Quantum Physics Creates the Universe. The problem is that Quantum Physics can only measure Effects, not create them. Hawking finds that for his calculations to work, he had to use Imaginary Data. He has to presume that many Preexistent Universal Laws existed prior to the Big Bang.

Data: Subatomic Particle Argument/ Lawrence Krause/ A Universe From Nothing

Taught: Lawrence Krause made the Subatomic Particle Argument. His Best Selling Book is A Universe From Nothing. He means that there really is Not Nothing. The Subatomic Particle Argument says that we have begun to think that we can validate that at the Sub Subatomic level, there are Sub Subatomic Particles that jump in and out of our ability to track them. This gives us the question where they come from and where they are going to. They might have been the Bang that Banged the Bang.

Data: Particles May be Nothing/ Subatomic Particles

Taught: Society is divided on whether or not these Subatomic Particles Exist. Some believe they are figments of Quantum Mechanic Manipulation. If Particles do Exist, Matter can't create itself, so the Particle has a Cause. We have no Evidence that these Particles can Create Anything. There also a lot of Arguments that Particles Don't even Exist.

Data: String Theory/ Multiverse Argument/ Michio Kaku

Taught: Michio Kaku is an expert in String Theory. The String Theory is A compelling tool to study Particles that Don't obey Newtonian physics. However, its predictions are untested and require assumptions. None of these Theories are supported by Scientific Evidence. Quantum Physics and String Theory produce a lot of Maybe's. Maybe two bubbles collided and merged, or maybe not. Same with the Universe.

Data: M Theory/ Multiverse Universe/ Metaphysical

Taught: Maybe there are other Universes. What if there was unlimited chances that generated a Universe like ours, and it broke through into our dimension and Banged th

e Bang. This is Metaphysical. Metaphysical means Speculations Regarding nonphysical, unverifiable beings, places, or events.

Data: Multiverse/Intriguing But Complex/ Obstacles/ Necessary Preconditions

Taught: There are still major obstacles for the Multiverse Theory and Argument to overcome. The Universe Generator had to have made a Universe very similar to ours. This means that this Universe must have has an Absolute beginning because our Universe had an Absolute Beginning. The Universe Generator would have to be tremendously Powerful and Complex. The bridge between the two Universes presents Incalculable Preconditions. There is too many Complications for a Multiverse to Operate Successfully.
