Re: Big Bang Theory
Rrhain, I don't know what else to say than what I've already said. You also appear to be ignoring my model which factors in omnipotent ID creator mangement, with relative stable entropy and source of energy always greater; i.e. A always greater than B.
None of your education ever considered this model. Imo, you have yet to refute my claim that it is more thermodynamically compatible than your temporal (time related; not eternal) model.
As with your model, I'm admitting that mine also has some unknowns. Imo you're requiring more of me than you are of yourself.

Your use of "temporal" is completely unclear. If it includes any universe in which time passes (as seems to be the case) your assertion is absolutely false. If it refers to universes with a finite past then your "i.e." is false for the reasons I have already stated. Such a model would almost certainly DEFINE T = 0 to be the beginning with NO T < 0. Since I already explained this fact in the post you are replying to it seems that you are ignoring MY valid points.
I'll rephrase my questions to simplify and clarify:
1. Any temporal (not eternal) universe must have a beginning point. Right?
2. Since a temporal (not eternal) universe MUST have a beginning, all forces, energy, matter and spacetime had to have began to exist, i.e. had a point of beginning. Right?
3. How does the above temporal (not eternal) universe comply with any of the observed laws of science?

If by temporal you mean a universe where there is a finite amount of time in the past direction, then yes. If there was an accepted model which addresses the universe's creation then I could assess the other two. Even in proposed models you don't start from literally nothing and these models definitely obey known physical principles.
Thanks for weighing in on this.
1. Yes, I meant a universe where there is a finite amount of time in the past direction. So on that basis I assume your answer would be "yes" to my points one and two. Correct me if mistaken.
2. What is there to equalize, i.e. an A and B, for a temporal expansion universe having no outside of and a finite past direction (abe: so as to render) it compatible to 2LoT?

Rrhain writes:
What makes you think the inflation or the expansion of the universe are thermodynamic acts?
There's nothing to "equalize." No thermodynamic activity took place.
The inflation and the expansion of the universe are not acts of energy exchange. They are inherent properties of space. The reason the distance between galaxies is increasing is not because they are moving (which would be an act of energy exchange). It is because the space between them is expanding.
The problem I see and have repeatedly posed throughout this thread with your theory, is that the the expansion allegedly came to be from T<0, a state (abe: of) no energy, space, forces or matter to a state of the existence of all of these.
Your thermodynamic related theory contradicts all of the observed scientific LoTs. Such unfalsifiable claims are never tolerated on behalf of creationists positions.
On the otherhand my (BBUH/Buzsaw Biblical Universe Hypothesis) of infinite energy does not contradict observed scientific LoTs, in that energy is transfered, not created.

As you have been repeatedly told, there is no point in time in the Big Bang model that has an absence of "energy, space, forces or matter." There never was nothing. Everything that exists has existed at every point in time in one state or another at every single point of time. You can't "create" something if that something always existed (note that "always existed" means "existed at all points of time;" time being a finite dimension means I am not discussing anything "eternal").
You've been told this multiple times. Why are you being dishonest?
You need to reconsider demeaning my character as dishonest.
I've learned to avoid the word/term "model" relative to this segment of the debate. Please note the wording of my late messages to which you are responding. You misrepresented my argument
here and here.
Rahven writes:

1. I'm not claiming the status of theory. I'm attempting to show reason to question your claim to that status relative to BB conventional theory.
2. I'm questioning the falsifiability of BB conventional theory which is prevalently tolerated.
Rahven writes:
The Big Bang model contradicts none of the lws of Thermodynamics. The fact that you are incapable of comprehending either the Big Bang model or the Laws of Thermodynamics is irrelevant.
If you think that is the case then you need to empirically refute my argument. You haven't done that yet. The BBUH involves transferred energy. Yours implies created energy.
Rahven writes:
Your "model," if it can be called such, is nothing more than a gigantic perpetual motion machine - which is a direct violation of the Laws of Thermodynamics. You've been told this, as well.
I don't buy all that I've been told just as you don't. There was a time in history where the majority were allegedly told that the earth was flat.
I've done some research on the perpetual motion machine of the 2nd kind such as
this
Machines of the second kind
The first law demands that all machines have a source of energy, but, it doesn't limit how much of this energy a machine can use for work. Could it all be used for work? Could a machine have 100% efficiency?
Even before they knew there was a first law, engineers observed that machines perform less work than the amount of energy they consume. In particular, heat engines always reject some waste heat. For example, an automobile engine always heats the surrounding air, heats water in its radiator, expels heat through its tail pipe, and so forth. The second law guarantees that no clever design could eliminate these losses completely.
The prototype machine of the second kind is Gamgee's ammonia motor. It propels a ship that simply withdraws heat energy from the ocean to power itself. Obviously this doesn't violate the first law, because the ocean contains plenty of heat energy. The ship would simply extract some of it, leaving a cold wake behind. Losses from friction in the ship's propellers and shafts would would return some of this energy to the ocean immediately. Stopping the ship at its destination port would turn the remainder to heat and return it to the ocean as well. The ship would merely borrow energy for its voyage from the ocean. Experience shows that such a machine can't be built.
Perpetual motion machines of the second kind operate by extracting energy at some point in their cycle, use it for work, yet have everything return to an original state unchanged at the end of the cycle. There is the appearance of being able to deliver energy forever.
The above example would be unusual so far as conventional science goes as is the BBUH but the principle would be analogous. The source of energy would be the supreme designer/creator who would be the ocean full of energy and creation, the ship.
You can buy a perpetual clock which runs by barometric pressure. I sold a vintage one on ebay a few years ago. It would be another example of how the BBUH would work within 2LoT.
Wikipedia says this which is helpful in making my point here as well.
The term perpetual motion, taken literally, refers to movement that goes on forever. However, perpetual motion usually refers to a device or system that delivers more energy than was put into it. Such a device or system would be in violation of the law of conservation of energy, which states that energy can never be created or destroyed, and is therefore impossible. The most conventional type of perpetual motion machine is a mechanical system which (supposedly) sustains motion while inevitably losing energy to friction and air resistance.
(embolding mine)
Note the word, usually. The BBUH is unusual such as a perpetual machine of the 2nd time.
The BBUH is hypothetical since it factors in the LoTs, mathematical probabilities, observance of complex design, etc and since there is a reasonable amount of corroborative evidence for the credibility of the Biblical record whether antagonists want to admit that or not.
Rahven writes:
So at what point are you doing to stop covering your ears and repeating the same refuted arguments over and over again? Or is this actually the "Buzsaw Broken Record Model?"
I have been often obligated to answer repetitive responses to my messages. Though my time is limited I do the best I can in that regard.

Re: Big Bang Theory vs Buzsaw Hypothesis
Thanks very much, Straggler for taking the time and effort to respond to my points and answer questions. I just opened the thread and read your response. I don't have time to do much at this time since I've got some things needing to be done by tomorrow away from the computer but I'll begin with the following:
Straggler writes:
1st Law
Well if your "hypothesis" involves a beginning to the universe you break the 1st law in exactly all the ways that you seem to be accusing naturalistic theories of cosmological origins doing. Does the universe have energy overall? If so where did this energy come from? etc. etc. All you are presumably doing is invoking God as the source of any energy creation? But any sort of energy creation violates the 1st law of thermodynamics. You could just as well state that God started the Big Bang.
If you are claiming that the universe had no beginning because it is literally eternal (has always been and always will be) then you do (sort of) circumvent any problems with the 1st law but you definitely fall foul of the 2nd law.
1. My position all through this thread and all related threads has been that the universe is eternal, having no beginning. This is required for the existence of an eternal intelligent designer/manager of the universe. I have no idea how you missed that after all I've said on it.
2. My position relative to energy is that the aggregate of it never increases or diminishes, the designer/manager being the source of everything including energy. Energy in this system works like the ship analogy in which the ship draws it's energy/power from the ocean (which source of energy will always be greater than the ship) The ship in turn expels energy as the analogy explains which returns energy to the ocean. There are differences in that the designer possesses intelligence so as to manage the system at will.
3. If you reread my messages you should be aware by now that the source of energy is the designer/creator from whom all creation came, each thing in it's own time within eternity.
4. Again, no energy is created. It is all transferred from the source, effecting varied states of equilibrium relative to the system. Remember, I said the energy source rested on the 7th day after having expended 6 creation days of work. Remember also that I said Jesus, son of the energy source stated that energy had left him when the woman from the pressing crowd secretly touched the hem of his garment resulting in her sudden healing. Energy was transerred from Jesus to the woman causing a sensation of loss from the healer/son of the universe designer/manager.
So as you admit, factoring the above, the BBUH passes the test of the first Law. Hopefully, tomorrow I can move on to the 2nd Law relative to the BBUH with responses to your points.
Thanks again for the time and effort you've expended to address this.

Nobody missed it. Nobody missed it the first time; nobody missed it the twentieth time. When Straggle wrote, "Well if your "hypothesis" involves a beginning . " he was making a conditional statement simply to be thorough.
It is you who have missed it.
No, I didn't miss a thing. I have learned to respect Straggler a lot, but imo there was no needful purpose for this iffy. My position was crystal clear on that count.
lyx2no writes:
If God is part of the system, doing work to reorganize the energy in the system, then he is expending system energy to do so. Work can only be done by expending energy, but energy can be spent without doing work. Therefore, losses are to be expected. However small these losses, an eternities worth of them would account for all of the energy in the Universe.
1. As I understand it, being a closed system, no energy is ever expended from the system. No system energy losses are to be predicted. There is only varied amounts of equilibrium due to transferred energy within the system. Correct?
lyx2no writes:
Your ship isn't doing any thing miraculous here. The total amount of energy is not the only consideration. It is taking a more concentrated form of energy and turning it into a less concentrated form of energy. It's increasing entropy via work. Big effing deal.
Though the ship analogy has some differences, the point I was attempting to convey is that the equilibrium may remain stable between the ship and the ocean as long as the ship's voyages continue. It may not be a perfect analogy, but neither is the 2D balloon analogy for a 3D universe.
Be ever mindful that my hypothesis has the unique aspect of an ID source of energy within the system having the ability to manage the equilibrium of the energy within the system. As with the ship analogy where intelligence is a factor (in a different way), 2LoT works somewhat differently than if the system were random, restricted to natural processes.
You say, "foul - no magic allowed." I respond, what's good for the gander is good for the goose. I can't empirically verify my ID source of energy. You can't empirically verify what happened before T<10-43. Both involve mystery.

Re: Entropy
Straggler writes:
In an attempt to avoid wasting what little is left of this thread I would strongly suggest that you go away and read up on the 2nd law of thermodynamics before you post any further responses. I would also suggest you avoid any creationist specific sites on the subject as they are notoriously misinformed. Wiki is the obvious starting point but do also try and find some laymans explanations elsewhere. Explanations that you understand and that are specific to neither side of the whole science vs creation debate.
I think I've got a pretty sound handle on the 2nd law. However the way you have layed it out here is helpful for a refresher on it. The debatable aspects of it in this thread is how it may or may not apply to BB theory and the BBUH.
1) A closed system is one where the total amount of energy remains constant. No energy leaves and no energy enters.
Agreed.
2) In the case of your creator + universe hypothesis you have already stated that the 1st LoT applies. There are no other sources of energy and there is nowhere else for energy to be lost. Thus the total amount of energy remains constant (apparently eternally). In thermodynamic terms your creator + universe is a single closed system.
1. My system is not creator + universe. It is eternal ID creator source and manager of energy within the eternal universe/system, both A and B being part and parcel of the eternal system. {Perhaps that's what you meant.)
3) Whenever energy is transformed from one form to another entropy increases (this is the second law of thermodynamics in highly simplistic and summarised form).
The entropy within the system would be affected in an ID managed system. The natural tendency relative to the law would be affected by the work of the designer/creator.
A. Planet earth created dark, formless and subject to 2LoT. If left to natural effects of 2LoT, entropy on the increase.
B. ID creator sends multipresent spirit to move/work on the formless void. After creation ID creator rests/rejuvenates somewhat as ocean does when ship returns energy to source/ocean.
C. Creator managing the whole universe allowing entropy to increase naturally in desired areas while working to lessen it in others.
D. Creator/designer allegedly proposes to eventually destroy earth's galaxy/Milky Way to create new heavens and earth at some future time as I understand the proposed plans.
9) Entropy increases with time, thus without 'magic' to reverse entropy somehow, a universe that has existed for eternity is necessarily in a state of absolute thermodynamic equilibrium. A state of maximum entropy (as in fact is the creator in your hypothetical scenario!!).
10) No useful work can be done. The universe is a lifeless random mass of dispirate particles (as is the creator!!)
Magic, if you will, does manage the entropy and equilibrium of the Biblical unique system. Stars and galaxies are forming and dying. Nobody knows the extent of design, intelligence and complexity within the systems of the universe.
Everything is on tract for the new super climate via global warming and short term disasters to effect a transformation of planet earth back into it's pre-flood state, Satan being subjected to the bottomless pit for a thousand years and mesianic millemium to emerge upon the planet, all according to the Biblical record. We're experiencing the emergence into the terrible times prophesied for the latter days. Hang onto your hats! The ride gets much rougher. The youth living now will be caught up in it before they die a normal death. It's that imminent!
To go into the above in depth would be off topic. I've not said it to be preachy. I've said the above to say the universe may appear to be loosing entropy but mice and men haven't a clue, outside of the Biblical record/prophecy of how the equilibrium and entropy relative to 2LoT can be managed by the almighty creator, Jehovah!
That's all I have time for and that's likely all and more than you care to hear. G'nite/morning. Thanks very much for your input! Gotta hit hay.

Re: Entropy

Entropy Increase Example
As you read this you are burning calories and producing heat. This heat energy can never ever ever ever all be recycled back to any form of useful energy no matter how it is "managed". This is the 2nd law of thermodynamics. Overall entropy increases. Overall entropy never decreases. You personally are causing an increase in the overall entropy of the universe (or universe + creator = isolated system if you will). You are directly causing an overall increase in the entropy of the universal system as a whole (don't take it personally so is everything else )
1. The BBUH source of energy is alive and intelligent, unlike an inanimate source having no informational or intelligence properties. A living intelligent source of energy would have the working ability to effect a reduced entropy of the system so long as the reduction would not exceed the energy of the source, would it not?
2. As I read this I, being a living being with informational amd intelligence properties recycle food and oxygen etc into energetic waste, carbon dioxide and radiate heat etc which will in turn recycle into the plant kingdom thereby allowing the production of more oxygen and food etc. If I died or stopped eating and breathing, the entropy begins to increase as the recycling cycle ends. How does this recycling process in itself increase the total eEntropy of the universe?

No. The “working” takes energy. More energy than can recovered by that work.
How so when the intelligent energy source manages the energy of the system?

The Sun turned a hundred million calories of hydrogen into a million calories of sunlight. A plant converted that million calories of sunlight, CO2 and H2O into ten thousand calories of sugar. You ate the plant and combined that sugar with O2 and converted it into CO2 and H2O and one thousand calories of garden work planting a plant that, using a million calories of energy supplied by the Sun, will converted CO2 and H2O into ten thousand calories of sugar.
1. You have not completed the recycling process relative to production of the plants, heat, waste energy etc.
2. If I had never been born, how would the total entropy of the universe be any different than it is now that I am living on the planet?
