Sorry, I thought you were just talking about the phases of matter

Nah, I haven't learnt any of that. :p I only know about Matter up to GCSE level, above is beyond me.

Goddammit, MJ, you're making too much sense. I demand you stop.

I do understand that matter cannot be created or destroyed, I am just stating that the black hole or star would have caused a state change...
also the Cosmic Background Explorer just detects microwaves from the galaxy, and like light microwaves spread out like a wave in the water, over a great distance the microwaves could have come from any where....who could positively say that the waves are not comming from a nearby or distant source?

FUCK BLACK JESUS ARGHHHHH!

but I want all caps this time

Look, if the theroy fails what elts could explain the perfect formation of a livable planet called earth.... even science says that if the earth was a little farther from the sun or a little closer it would be uninhabitable..... it would either burn or freeze....

Uh... the Earth was not created for us, rather life on this planet adapted to the conditions. I'd say you should take a few more science based courses before discussing this.

QFTDIAF caps

OOooh! Ask him how old the Earth is!

I'd say more, but Grav rather put it into perspective nicely.

It's over NINE THOUSAND!!!!

It's well over NINE THOUSAND!!!!

9003?

It's 666 thousand!

9000 what? specify units kthx

9000 units of half a million years!

In'nit!

9000 IQs duh

lyke guyz my IQ is well over 9000 i know wut im talkin about

Your argument is that one theory seems unlikely, and we don't have another one right now, so God must have done it? Are you serious? If that worked, then anytime we had a puzzle that was difficult to solve, we could just declare that God did it.

*We can't find the murder weapon. God must have deleted it!

*Where'd my other sock go? I didn't burn it. God must eaten it!

*Why is it raining outside?
Well, you see, water condenses and rises up into the air. This water forms clouds, and then the clouds release that water back to the ground.

Nahhh. That doesn't sound very likely. God must be doing it.

Naked gay avatar guy gets points.

That's irrelevant to the theory of evolution. And to the big bang theory as well, for that matter.

Because the spectrum of the cosmic background radiation is very close to that of a blackbody. In fact, the spectrum picked up by COBE was much closer to that of a blackbody than anything we can produce in a lab. The only reasonable explanation for this is that it comes from a time when the universe was much hotter and denser than its current state. That, coupled with the fact that the deviations on the experimental values collected from COBE differ so slightly from theoretical values that they aren't even plotted on the graphs strongly implies that the big bang theory is valid.

There are probably millions of planets. Some, surely, must have comprable conditions to those of earth. Furthermore, live has also adapted to the conditions presented to us. It does not need to be perfectly fine-tuned.
