Very true, and a pretty scary thought. So much has to go right for it to work as planned. NASA is underrated, things like this and New Horizons are incredibly difficult to pull off.

Say we are at 13.7 billion years now, I wonder, "what" is left in the middle of the big bang and can we even locate the middle of it all? --I supposed, nearing to the point of the bang-there should be the portion of space unoccupied now, since the bang throw cosmic materials out the center.

Makes me wonder, is there really a big bang? Did the bang really happen?

Makes me wonder how the money could be better spent.

Let's just say there was one.

Or, that there wasn't a "bang" at all. That there was a Creation. What we see is what has always been, maybe there isn't any expansion, development or refinement.

The premise that we, i.e. the Universe, is in a constant state of change or refinement, expansion, may be wrong and we're trying to prove something, beginning with the wrong starting point. Like lyn said, "maybe we're wasting a lot of money trying to prove something that isn't so."

"trying to prove something that isn't so."

No, That's not what I said, at all.

Mr. small asked, "Did the big bang really happen?"

It seems obvious that you are both relying on religious dogma to form your views, and that's fine, to a point.

Please do not recruit me into your point of view when I do not share it.

I share the belief of John Gillespie Magee, Jr. in one of my favorite poems:

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds, - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,

I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air....

We have surely slipped the bonds of Earth, and I do believe that there was a big bang.

My point was that there are more than enough unanswered/unresolved questions here on Earth to occupy our minds and pocketbooks for some time.

"Makes me wonder, is there really a big bang"?

"Makes me wonder how the money could be better spent."

lyn, that statement is all I was referring to. I wasn't trying to drag you into anything or imply a belief on you. Through other Posts and discussions I have an idea of the ideology you have and I wasn't discounting those ideas you hold.

My point is that a ton on money is spent based upon the assumptions of a big bang, evolutionary mindset, when in fact that may not be the case.

So that money is spent trying to prove something based upon those assumptions, which can't or won't be proven, since they may not be true/scientific.
