Correct, but if there is a pile of evidence backing one argument, and none at all backing the other I'll go with the one which has something more than faith behind it.

That's because you don't have any faith. That's the key difference.

Go read up on the physics of the universe, there really is no 'edge' of the universe. Don't try to claim things are 'according to physics' if you haven't done the research first.

singularity + vacuum + explosion = rapidly expanding sphere of matter.

Explain how there isn't an "edge" to that.

In a quick perusal of all the theories of the various possible shapes for local and global geometries of the universe, not one of them implies that there isn't an edge to any of them.

Hehe ... funny debate ...

a. Like FEOS said there must be an edge, if there are no edge how can it expand?
b. Also there must be a centre from where it all started, if the point of origin some 13 billion years ago is the same as what could be considered the centre today is another discussion ...
c. I find it hard to believe that earth is even close to the centre seeing as the universe is 13+ billion years old and the earth a mere 4,5 billion years, should put us about 2/3 out from the centre ...

If you have faith in anything, then you shouldn't mock those who have faith in something else. Otherwise, you are mocking yourself.

A vacuum is an absence of anything, therefore, anything that is not the singularity is, by definition, a vacuum. In fact, that vacuum was likely the only perfect vacuum that ever existed.

The best guess of the behavior of the explosion, absent any internal or external force (and how could there be an external force, since there is nothing else?), is a sphere, until matter starts to form, causing gravity (even micro-gravity), thus affecting the shape of the explosion immediately following. Shape implies an edge of some sort.

Otherwise, you're saying it went from essentially nothing to everything. Which would be more along the lines of creationism. And I KNOW you're not saying that.

I don't want to shit all over the movie but from reading the synopsis in the OP - Darwin never lost his faith in God, in fact in Origin as well as Decent he argued that God and evolution weren't mutually exclusive; that God instead of creating everything exactly as they are instead created them and then created a rule in order to turn them into what they are today. Darwin wasn't a religious man but then he was brought up in the period after the enlightenment when people were trying to explain the world around them instead of simply falling back on "God made it that way".

Darwin wasn't the father of Eugenics either, he was a naturalist, it was others who took Origin and applied to humanity. Darwin's follow-up Decent addressed humanity and although some argue this work suggested the theory that would become eugenics Darwin never was clear on whether he believed in it - certainly not on a practical scale. It was other men, most notably Sir Frances Galton a half-cousin of Darwin's, who would define and propagate the theory.

Anyway eugenics was an accepted science, people like Winston Churchill, Ted Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson believed in it. Since it did turn out so tragically, (Mr. Hitler also subscribed to eugenics,) and looking back on it it can be seen how racist, cruel an wrong it was Christianity likes to use it as an example of what happens when you leave the "all people created equal under God", (HAH!) model and instead rely on rational thought and logic to explain the world.

Anybody else remember the outrage when that nobel prize winning geneticist admitted to believing in eugenics?

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

We have not the slightest idea of what was before 10^-43 seconds after "whatever happened there". There could be nothing, it could have been a 5D brane collision, it could have been a big Bounce or it could have been a "quantum" fluctuation in some higher entity. We don't know.

Plus... I'm having a little trouble getting myself to the point where I can agree that the early universe was truly spherical. That implies a sort of delineated you-may-never-cross-here line in the universe which sounds odd. It could exist of course but it doesn't seem right.

If you cannot reach it or observe it, then how can it exist? An edge - or boundary - by definition, is a restrictive thing, but this kind of edge places no restrictions on anything.

In fact, how do we know that the universe we can see - which may be the most unimaginably minute fraction of the whole, if some interpretations of inflationary theories are to be believed - is actually representative of the universe as a whole? There may be other regions which are totally disconnected from our "universe" in every possible causal manner, so we have no way of knowing if the same laws of physics hold. A strange possibility but a possibility nonetheless.

The point being that we don't know what the shape was instantaneously after the BB (or any time thereafter). Thus, it could just as easily be spherical or triangular or ovoid or any shape you want. The point being that it has/had a shape of some sort, even if it is/was a shape we cannot conceive of in our own terms.

Many things exist that we cannot reach or directly observe. We don't know what this edge or boundary does or doesn't do, as the operations of the universe at the boundary are not known to us at this point. We have a fair understanding looking backward, toward the source, but not outward to the edges.

Uhm, still not working. Maybe I should have been clearer - the equations of quantum mechanics require things like position and time or at least some reference point within the dimensions of the universe. How can it exist in an epoch "before time", if that's what it was?

As you can see I'll come up with anything I can to not have to bring a singularity into the works. Mixing quantum mechanics and general relativity - which a singularity cannot avoid doing - is a bit dodgy IMO.

Fair enough, probably makes more sense if you thing about it in terms of a Spacetime... space (I forget the technical mathematical term, starts with an M), or even a 11D space (because then your 'edges' aren't really tangible things which makes everyone happy - the only problem with that is that you have to define such a space, somehow, inside some unbound infinite space, (unless my learning of topology is all messed up which is likely, teaching yourself this stuff can lead to hilarious fail))

There was a proposal a while back that struck my attention, called the "no-boundary" theorem. If I remember right, what it did was it complexified time, and in doing so it removed any need for the universe to have a clearly delineated edge (which I think was problematic for a lot of people).

I'll see if I can find it.

Correct - Vacuum and nothing are two different things. Vacuum exists, nothing does not.

The universe may not have an edge, it may fade out into nothing, or space-time may be distorted so there may be an edge but it can never be observed.

The whole discussion revolves around the BB theory and the Creation theory aligning, so you kind of have to bring a singularity into the works.

Actually, the more I thought about this, the more I realized that edges or boundaries are irrelevant to the man's theory, as they play no real role. The only things that are important are the distance between the Earth and the Origin Point and the rate of expansion and the relativistic effects on perspective between the two points.

Further, as I thought about "boundaries" and "edges" to the universe, I couldn't help but remember the battle that went on between Hawking and some of his colleagues regarding phenomena at the boundaries of black holes. In certain areas of thought, black holes are holes that are punched through our own spacetime (universe) into another spacetime (universe)...thus being holes in a boundary/edge of our own into another. Crazy the things you think about while mowing the lawn.

Correct - Vacuum and nothing are two different things. Vacuum exists, nothing does not.

That is not something you can prove, nor does it mean that it didn't exist at some point immediately prior to the BB, which is a basic requirement for the BB theory to work.

Eh... Dilbert, I think you're too hooked to the idea of a 'flat' universe. Who said the geometry of the universe was Euclidean? There could be an edge and there probably is, just one we can never detect due to the geometry of the universe never allowing us. In any case there was another argument - a relativistic one - as to why there must be an edge that we can never see, but I've forgotten it - assuming it exists, which could also be questionable.

You continue with your mumbo-jumbo translated into english from latin from aramaic and sub-edited by the frigging catholics.

Just don't start any wars on the basis of the above and we'll keep the LHC at a power level below which the universe won't fold in on itself.

After a few beers it doesn't matter TBH

I'll continue with whatever quantum space-time thing I've half understood.

You continue with your mumbo-jumbo translated into english from latin from aramaic and sub-edited by the frigging catholics.

Just don't start any wars on the basis of the above and we'll keep the LHC at a power level below which the universe won't fold in on itself.

Deal?

The problem is that your understanding of your quantum space-time mumbo-jumbo is about as in-depth as your understanding of another's translated mumbo-jumbo. The point I was making was that there is a researcher who has theorized that the creation theories of the two may actually not be as mutually exclusive as once thought...and he came to that conclusion using the ruleset established by the ones who reject the translated mumbo-jumbo.

It's not about saying one is better or worse than the other. In fact, it's quite the opposite.

It's not about starting wars or trying to make a black hole to destroy the earth for shits and giggles.

Spoiler (highlight to read):
btw, wars are generally started over resources, not religion
