Evolution and the big bang theory?
j.p. its a big explosion that can shoot stars across the universe.it shouldn't slow down THERE IS NO GRAVITY IN SPACE.

1. You don't understand gravity
It hasn't stopped.
You never started.
Wow. Where to begin?
I think you misunderstand the big bang theory. Gravity too.
Nothing has stopped--the universe is still expanding. This is what led to the BBT in the first place--cosmologists determined that galaxies were all moving away from each other. If you run the clock back far enough, everything runs together into a singularity.
PS: What does evolution have to do with BBT?
1) Nothing has stopped. The very calculations we have supporting the Big Bang Theory are based on observations of galaxies moving away from each other in a (more or less) uniform fashion.
2) There is no such thing as no gravity. In space there is null gravity because other forces are strong enough to overcome it, but there is no place in this universe where gravity does not have an effect.
I knew astronomy better than this in 5th grade -- in 1972! With all the scientific advances in the news since then, why is anyone still this pig-ignorant about physics, astronomy, and cosmology? And for that matter, since they clearly ARE so ignorant, what makes them think they have the slightest idea what they're talking about, since they clearly haven't learned more than a slight smattering of the vocabulary (which they then more often than not misuse)? Sheesh!
That is epic, epic fail.
Please turn to The Python Hymnal...page 14
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
I wish I could sue you guys.
I just went to Yahoo Answers for the first time ever and I'm pretty sure exposure to that kind of pure, uncut, stupidity has lowered my IQ ten points.
1. It hasn't stopped. The universe is expanding at a rate between 50 and 100 km/s/Mpc (which means that for each Megaparsec (Mpc), galaxies appear to be receding at 50-100 km/s, one Mpc being equivalent to 3.2 million light years)
2. The big bang did not through a bunch of stars and planets out there. It's not like the God theory where "poof" everything is exactly as it is.
3. Maybe you should learn to spell creationism, you'd be taken a little more seriously (just a little).
There was no gravity even though the entire mass of the universe supposedly existed at that instant?
Reserch your gravity theories, man. There was gravity and it slowed down because of it.
Ok, I read this and then I did an interesting experiment...I tried to give the guy credit for something. Here's what I came up with:
1) He spelled the word "theory" correct at least once.
2)....any suggestions?
If Adam wasn't home"schooled" there are some science teachers who need to become janitors. (No offense to the many wise janitors of the world. They simply don't require the same set of skills as science teachers.)
On second thought. Adam's science "teachers" should probably just be used to nourish parasites, for scientific study, or volunteer to be organic fertilizer.
BTW, he is somewhat right, in a retarded way, when he says "there's no gravity in space". Since gravity is a property of mass; If there were no mass, there would be no "gravity in space". However since all mass has gravity, and space is not completely empty, a condition where there is no gravity is merely a hypothetical used to clean up the math in situations where gravity is inconsequential.
In practise though, a universe consisting of two hydrogen atoms 27 billion light years apart would have gravity and there would be an attraction between those two atoms. Depending on momentum those two atoms would either orbit a common center of gravity or plunge together.
Good question. Actually, there is gravity in space, that's why, for instance, the moon orbits the earth and the earth orbits the moon. Also, it didn't 'stop', really. That's why the universe is still expanding.
A few things:
1. There was no gas prior to the big bang. There was a singularity and nothing else.
2. It didn't stop. In fact, its rate of expansion is increasing .
3. Everything has gravity. If there were no gravity in space there would be no stars, planets, galaxies, nebulae, quasars, black holes...And more importantly, if there were no gravity the earth (ignoring the fact that it wouldn't exist) wouldn't orbit the sun. The moon wouldn't orbit the earth. And life would be non-existent.
4. Go read a science book some time.
Massive, super-giant, cosmological sized fail!
Also, 'creatianism?'
New rule. If you can't spell the name of the theory you are representing, shut up and leave it to someone else.
From the page:
"the earth and moon have gravity there is no gravity in space god you atheist are stupid"
The moon doesn't have gravity, dumbass.
"...if the big bang did not happen then doesn't that leave only one option "creatianism"
No. Science rarely boils down to an either/or. IF evolution is ever proven to be incorrect then other avenues would be explored. You folks have had the better part of 2,000 years to prove your case and there has been ZERO movement toward providing incontrovertible evidence. FAIL!
THERE IS NO GRAVITY IN SPACE.
Wrong. The force of gravity is present in every cubic inch of space. What you are ignorant enough to describe as "zero gravity" is, in fact, the presence of a micro-gravitational field. Just because you are far enough away from a massive object (a planet, sun, space station, etc.) to be largely unaffected by its gravitational pull does not mean there is no gravity where you are. FAIL!
"In space no one can hear you witness for the Lord."
err, actually gravity is pervasive across all existence, but that aside, it didn't stop...hence red shift, blue shift, and the background radiation that fills the entire universe from when the big bang happened.
You, sir, are a total dumbass.
Go back to high school physics class.
It didn't stop, stupid, the expansion is still ongoing. The matter that would become the stars were included in the Big Bang, space was also included in the Big Bang.
False dichotomy: There are as many options as there are religious sects, and there are quite a few secular ones as well.
You sure thats the right quote ? I thought it was "In space no one can hear you SCREAM !!! "
anyhow, big bang was more of a big whooshie and sorry but there is gravity in space. maybe not a lot , but some.
nit pick but you spelled creationism wrong.
The answer is it hasn't stopped, the expansion is still ongoing. The thing expanding IS the universe, stupid.
Where did God come from?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
