The Big Bang and the visible past.

He does too. And muc the 6000 year limit of the xians. Hindu knows that the world is billions of years old and was formed by expansion of a small sphere. He also believes that the world expands and contracts periodically.

Pal, Hindus and only Hindus specifically accept that:
1. World is made immortal, created matter. Why does it not have sceintific value?2. Matter possesses energy and is rver mobile. After all, E=Mc2 is exactly that. Since matter is never static, therefore no static frame of reference is possible. Why does it not have sceintific value?3. That matter has inertia which resists change and motion. Why does it not have sceintific value?4. That creation out of nothing is not possible. Why does it not have sceintific value?5. Universe expands and contracts periodicall. But never does it collapse to a so called singularity. Why does it not have sceintific value?6. Hindus believe in a cyclic universe, and whatever can be explainede by BB can be explained by it. Why is one off BB more sceintific than periodical expansion and contraction. This model is theoretically possible. Why does it not have sceintific value?7. Hindus hold that the expansion of universe starts with a BANG, clearly, explitly specified. Why does it not have sceintific value?8. Hindus believe that even universe undergoes an evolution. If you look aroound you will find stars, galaxies etc at various stages of formation. Why does it not have sceintific value?Lastly, why BB too is not a myth?Pal, before passing a blanket judgement you should know in detail what you are judging.

Hindus do believe that universe has been and shall be for ever. The only way to shake this position is to re-write thermodynamics.The largest time span Hindus posit is like 140 trillions of years. If that does boggle you then recall that that even this is a fleeting moment in the backdrop of an infinite time span.Can pure sceince tell us:Why was there a singularity?Why did it explode unless it was an unstable entity?How an unstable entity can help but transform itself into something more stable immidiately it formed?How do we determine that the universe is really stable, not meta stable or dynamic?What is beyond the 13.8 billion light year "horizon". What will you observe if you transpose yourself by say, 8 blys? Will you find more galaxies and lose sight of a few others? Will you stumble upon another "universe" which is another cluster of galaxies?Which philosophy even attempts to answer them, except Hindu philosophies?Edited by RCS, : No reason given.
