The Big Bang theory was totally rejected at first. But those who supported it had predicted that the ignition of the Big Bang would have left behind a sort of ‘hot flash’ of radiation.
If a big black wood stove produces heat that you can feel, then in a similar manner, the Big Bang should produce its own kind of heat that would echo throughout the universe.
In 1965, without looking for it, two physicists at Bell Labs in New Jersey found it.
At first, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson were bothered because, while trying to refine the world’s most sensitive radio antenna, they couldn’t eliminate a bothersome source of noise. They picked up this noise everywhere they pointed the antenna.
At first they thought it was bird droppings. The antenna was so sensitive it could pick up the heat of bird droppings (which certainly are warm when they’re brand new) but even after cleaning it off, they still picked up this noise.
This noise had actually been predicted in detail by other astronomers, and after a year of checking and re-checking the data, they arrived at a conclusion: This crazy Big Bang theory really was correct.
In an interview, Penzias was asked why there was so much resistance to the Big Bang theory.
He said, “Most physicists would rather attempt to describe the universe in ways which require no explanation. And since science can’t *explain* anything – it can only *describe* things – that’s perfectly sensible. If you have a universe which has always been there, you don’t explain it, right?
“Somebody asks you, ‘How come all the secretaries in your company are women?’ You can say, ‘Well, it’s always been that way.’ That’s a way of not having to explain it. So in the same way, theories which don’t require explanation tend to be the ones accepted by science, which is perfectly acceptable and the best way to make science work.”
But on the older theory that the universe was eternal, he explains: “It turned out to be so ugly that people dismissed it. What we find – the simplest theory – is a creation out of nothing, the appearance out of nothing of the universe.”
Penzias and his partner, Robert Wilson, won the Nobel Prize for their discovery of this radiation. The Big Bang theory is now one of the most thoroughly validated theories in all of science.
Robert Wilson was asked by journalist Fred Heeren if the Big Bang indicated a creator.
Wilson said, “Certainly there was something that set it all off. Certainly, if you are religious, I can’t think of a better theory of the origin of the universe to match with Genesis.”
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s installment: “Why the Big Bang was the most precisely planned event in all of history.”
Sincerely,
Perry Marshall

All the commentaters should considder the difference between:
‘Knowing what you believe, and believing what you know.’
The closer we get to the beginning the simpler it is.
It doesn’t get any simpler than a singularity.
Infinitely small, infinitely dense,infinitely hot. Total negentropy.
The scaling is also infinite. From the infinitely small to the infinitely large.
For those who only know what they believe.
This is your heaven and your hell and everything in between. So always do your best.
We are very short lived creatures.
When you are dead, you are dead. Your sense of self dissipates and you are no more.
I know!
I’ve been there during a near death experience.
The term ‘believe’ is an absolute term and much abused.
In all sincerity. You can’t say. ‘Today I belive this,’ and tomorrow or the day after, when you learn something new. ‘Now I believe this instead,’ Without being a hypocrite. In which case your opinion is worthless.
Because to be human is to make mistakes. We should never use the term ‘believe’. But rather. ‘It seems most reasonable at this moment, but I reserve the right to change my mind.’
Or something in a similar vane.
Truly:
There is infinite scaling.
Undefined randomness.
Defined patterns of chaos.
As well as linearity and order.
The ratio of Chaos to order is 4.6692: 1 or 79.68% chaos and 20.32 % order.
So the 80 : 20, rule shows that we only perceive 20% of reality. The other 80% is chaotic and beyond our perception.
I have often wondered how we manage to do anything right with this 3.5 lb. of fat and protein between our ears, of which only 5% are neurons.
Amazing!
Dear Tony Trenton:
Lots of people have experienced lots of different things, by your logic they are all real events. Thousands have been probed by Aliens , seen ghosts, and returned from the dead. Untold numbers have basically 2 experiences, either peace, bright lights, feelings of joy, or stark terror and burning , screaming and wailing.
I have never heard of an experience like yours so on what grounds should I accept yours as real and these untold numbers as illusions?
The Bible reaches that a man who trusts the thoughts of his own heart is a fool.how much greater the fool who trusts the thoughts of others? I do not doubt your experience was very real to you but I have no reason to believe it was. The fact is neither do you.
For those who have made the choice to believe in an overall creator. I urge you to consider the scaling.
Our universe would be no more to that entity, than a molecule is to us.
Of course, as is the nature of what we perceive there are levels of creators.
Everything is scaleable
.
We just need lots of courage to face the 20%
It’s quite scary!
Oh! By the way. The devil as an entity. Is pure fabrication of a diseased mind.
Dear Tony Trenton:
On what authority do you claim that the Bible was not inspired by God and that the men who wrote it had diseased minds? Personally I believe the minds that came up with the idea we spontaneously generated and evolved from lower animals thousands of years ago were spiritually ill.
It was an anti-God religion when the Babylonians gave it to the Greeks in 2600 B.C., when the Apostle Paul debated against its followers on Mars Hill and when Erasmus Darwin taught it to his grandson.
The Bible is the most accurate book of ancient history the world has ever known and not one word has ever been shown to be untrue. The same cannot be said of the religion of evolution, from Piltdown Man to Piltdown Bird it has been one outrageous fraud after another.
Dear sir,
Very interesting stuff.
My question is this, theory says that in the very beginning there was one particle and because it had gigantic amounts of kinetic energy it exploded in what we know as the Big Bang. Is there someway to simulate a “little” Big Bang so there is proof, aside from the measurements of Penzias and Wilson, that it existed? I mean if CERN can make an artificial black hole, how far is a “little” Big Bang??
Now we just have measurements which indicate that it existed, but if we could simulate it, wouldn’t that also be contributing to its existence? Just thinking out loud.
Thanks, Dennis.
I am not aware that we can create a “little bang.”
Hi, I just have this comment, on the video Perry Marshal (PM) said that DNA is a CODE thereford there is a GOD; because who create this code? A Human? no way! says him, An Aliens create the code? Maybe says Perry, but then, who create the aliens?? Then he conclude that therefore There is a GOD who creates everything!, so my simple and serius question is: if that so, the really ultymate question is Who or Whom created GOD??? Why Perry did not ask that question?? If the Aliens dont explain the question about the creation of the CODE (DNA), why the GOD explanation did explain it?? Okey GOD was the one…but Who create GOD…come on that is a fair question!
Who made God? http://evo2.org/infotheoryqa.htm
Perry, you were amazing answeriing that question, you just readed my mind.
Very interesting indeed! Your question: WHO MADE GOD! In order for me to answer your question, I will tell you something: YOU ARE GOD! For without you God is incomplete! The breath that was put in clay that became man is you (if we have to base it along the biblical line, not minding that there are other views on creation and man as far as religions, legends and myths pervade in myriads of speculations and convictions of many epochs and groupings of man.). Therefore, the question you asked is answered if you realize that though, compare with the galaxies and the universes and the continuous expansion of these bodies you are very very minute, yet, you, man, you are worth it, you are God! So start tracing everything to everything and the more you do that the more it continues to expand, infinitely until ‘neverend’.
Dear Jude:
By what authority do you make these claims, the strength of your personal opinions and convictions? Please make a case, not an announcement.
i am curious to know, what sort of sound did the sceintists Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson heard from their radio antenna. According to vedic scriptures of Hindu religion, the world’s first sound was “AUM” . Well, we have no idea how the sages some several thousand years ago discovered that, but its Hindu way of describing BIG BANG theory. AUM is pronounced as “AAAAOOOOOUUUMMMM”. The vibration travels from below your navel, right up the chest and finally towards head above eyes. Its a yogic excercise as well to meditate and is not associated with any God, religion or idol.
Is God and Jesus Christ the same being?
yes, I believe that is the case. John 1:1
Dear Mr.Perry,
I am from India, in according to The Gita, there is purpose for everything in this Universe.
The Gita is variously dated between the third century BC and the fourth century AD. The reason for uncertainty is that the Gita is not always consistent and may be the work of several hands. One strand was probably written by a follower of the philosophy expressed in the Upanishads, in which Brahman is the highest unity underlying reality. Another strand, focussed on a more personal deity, may have been added later by a devotee of the supreme god Vishnu.
The Gita is panentheistic rather than pantheistic. God is in all things, and all things are in God. But the visible universe springs from only a fraction of Vishnu’s glory. There is also a hidden part of God which extends beyond the universe.
Nevertheless, the Gita contains probably the most powerful and thoroughgoing expression of pantheism in world scripture. The one God is the pinnacle of all things – the radiant sun of lights, the thought organ of sense organs, the intellect of beings, the ocean of waters, the Himalayas of mountain ranges, the Ganges of rivers. He is also the inherent essence of everything – including evil. He is the gambling of rogues, the courage of the courageous, the rod of disciplinarians, the statecraft of politicians, the Knowledge of the knowing.
Following are translations of a few verses by Franklin Edgerton, of The Bhagavad Gita, Harper Torchbooks, New York, 1944
All is one and one is all.
Himself as in all beings,
And all beings in himself,
Sees he whose self is disciplined in discipline,
Who sees the same in all things.
Who sees Me in all,
And sees all in Me,
For him I am not lost,
And he is not lost for me.
Whoso reveres me as abiding in all things,
adopting the belief in oneness,
though abiding in any possible condition,
that disciplined man abides in Me.
[vi. 29-31]
God is indescribable radiance and power.
If the light of a thousand suns
should suddenly burst forth in the sky
it would be like the light
of that exalted one.
The whole world there united,
And divided many-fold,
the son of Pandu then
beheld in the God of Gods’ body
“A mass of radiance, glowing on all sides,
I see Thee, hard to look at, on every side
With the glory of flaming fire and sun, immeasurable.
“Without beginning, middle or end, of infinite power,
of infinite arms, whose eyes are the moon and sun,
I see thee, whose face is flaming fire,
Burning this whole universe with Thy radiance.”
[xi.12-19]
My higher nature know:
It is the Life, great-armed one,
By which this world is maintained.
Beings spring from it,
All of them, be assured,
Of the whole world I am
The origin and dissolution too.
On Me all this (universe) is strung,
Like heaps of pearls on a string.
[vii.5-7]
Taking as base my own material-nature
I send forth again and again
This whole host of beings.
[ix.8]
Whatsoever of all beings
Is the seed, that am I, Arjuna;
There is none such as could be without
Me, no being moving or unmoving.
[x.39]
God is the beginning and end. Cosmic cycles.
I am death that carries off all,
And the origin of things that are to be.
[x.34]
All beings, son of Kunti,
Pass into my material nature
At the end of a world-aeon; them again
I send forth at the beginning of a new world-aeon.
[ix.7]
God is in everything. God is the central quality in all objects.
I am taste in water, son of Kunti,
I am light in the moon and sun.
The sacred syllable Om of all the Vedas,
Sound in ether, manliness in men.
I am the goodly odor in earth,
And brilliance in fire am I,
Life in all beings,
And austerity in ascetics am I.
Know me as the eternal seed of all beings.
I am intelligence of the intelligent.
Majesty of the majestic am I.
[vii.8-10]
I am the soul, Gudakesa,
that abides in the heart of all beings.
[vii.20]
God also transcends the world
By me is pervaded all this universe,
by me in the form of the unmanifest.
All beings rest in me,
And I do not rest in them.
[ix.4]
Whatsoever being possesses lordliness or majesty or greatness, know thou that every such being springs from a fraction of my glory
I support this entire world with a single fraction of myself.
[x.41-42.]
Foolish men conceive me, the unmanifest, as having become manifest. They do not know my higher nature, everlasting and supreme.
[7.24]
—————-
SCIENTIFIC PANTHEISM
is the belief that the universe and nature are divine.
It fuses religion and science, and concern for humans with concern for nature.
It provides the most realistic concept of life after death,
and the most solid basis for environmental ethics.
It is a religion that requires no faith other than common sense,
no revelation other than open eyes and a mind open to evidence,
no guru other than your own self.
Albert Einstein said “When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous. ”
Thus we should realise that there is particular reason as to why the Universe and man was created, it was not an accident but for a definite purpose.
With best regards
Sadan
Sir
I have read about where did the universe came from with intrest.I am Sikh by reliagion from India.Sorry for bad English.In our Holly book “Sri guru granth sahib” it is written that universe was not created in steps but with one word of god.before it was only smoke and dust.And god is defined as ” one, true, creator, present in everything, fearless, w/o jeliousy, not bound by time, never take birth, created by itself and we can get him with guru’s gift” It is also stated that God created and distroyed this universe or system many times.He spreads himself and all is created and than he disolves everything in itself.
I request you to read English translation of Sikh holly book “Sri gugu granth sahib”
Hi Perry
Although, there are so many radiations in the universe and the nature of these radiations are not isotropic ,the level of these radiations varies time to time and the telescope was so much sensitive towards to the bird drooping.
Here i want to ask few questions,as
(!) What is the nature of this newly found radiation? means it is isotropic or anisotropic.
(2) why another kinds of radiation could not affect the measurement of this radiation?
The radiation is, to my knowledge, isotropic.
It took a long time to isolate this radiation, because of all the other kinds that exist.
dear friends,
One thing is clear, whether we agree or not, that a cosmic mind is behind the designing and bringing out of every thing which we are watching now. There is a flawless plan which is happening in an orderly way. We with our limited awareness trying to define and feel happy. For example we say that genes are responsible for various features in living things. Tomorrow if someone proves that XIONS are responsible for the regulated growth and features of living things we believe it till some other reason is found. The better thing is try to explore the great intelligence responsible for this. Please forgive me if I hurt anyone”s feelings. Thank you.
Dear Perry, Im an engineer, a theologian and a professor in management. I can relate to all your lectures and I am glad for what you are doing. Rest assured that I will echo your topics to my students in school and our church. My question is about pattern and design. If there was a pattern, isn’t it that this pattern was also a grand design of our Creator? Or it developed as time goes by without any design?
Peter,
Things like snowflakes and hurricanes and sand dunes reflect a high degree of order and that order has to come from somewhere. Namely, the laws of physics had to come from somewhere and I believe they were decreed by God.
But living things do not emerge from that level of order. The laws of physics do not explain the rules of the genetic code or the information in living things. That requires an entirely higher level of information.
Feel free to share this as you go along-
Perry
Dear Peter:
Why would a theologian ask such a question? It is like asking are atheism and theism both true. The Bible says God created all things .
Exo 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exo 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
Exo 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
Exo 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Of course it is no longer considered “intellectual” to actually believe God’s word as written, it must be reinterpreted agree and to to fit with man’s knowledge.
I do not got aquetion but a comment on tehe subject.
the universe had been created by GOD.
if you read the quran in english language and think prefectly you will get the answer.
there is lot of verses.
like god had been created in 6 day not in our 6 day but his 6 days.
another verse says 6 days which is each day as per our knowledge 50000 years.
so though god had been created the universe like earth ,sun,moon,day,night
by about 300000 three hundered thousand years which each year is 365 days
not so simple the creation of an earth with life green trees and follower ,animals, poeple,
which qoran says that the craetion of poeple had began from ,,, adam and eva.
then geting two sons and two douther maried to each other get family then so on.
read the qoran.
Dear Yahya:
I have read the Quran, it does not say that at all, sorry.
hii perry,
my question is as following:
Q] If big bang really occurred then what was in that small tiny particle which maked it expand and is still expanding i researched this thing and i came across that it was some dark energy which makes it still expanding and BUT WHERE DOES THIS ENERGY CAME FROM IN THAT TINY PARTICLE?????
,.i believe in god but i m not sure that if god exists.
and btw how r u so sure that stars is one part in 10^120, or 0.000……0001 with 120 zeros with the expanding of universe,.where did thhis figure came from 1 part of 10^20?????????
please let me know in detail and in simple terms
thank you
sincerely,
jubin
Jubin,
120 decimal places discussion: http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0208013
Where did the tiny particle come from? I say a transcendent being put it there.
respected sir,
i have a query, when our telivision sets doesnt receive any signals from cables they show black & white dots people say this also is an evidence of big bang,is it true , if yes how???
I don’t think this noise is actually from the big bang, it’s from the sun primarily. But the general idea is correct – Penzias discovered radiation of this sort with very sensitive equipment.
Have you heard about a picture taken from space of the Hawaiian Islands that depicts a scene from Revelation? A boy is being attacked by a dragon and a bear while at the same time he is attacked by a group of people. He is tearing looking away into the distance seemingly not worrying about the attacks as if there is something else on his mind.
Hi James:
I think some people let their imaginations run away. If one needs “evidence” like that he/she has a very weak faith IMHO.
Hi Perry,
If there are stars out there that are being born, I would like to know and what brings about this.
The process of stars being born is well documented, you can Google it.
Dear Perry:
All that has been documented is starts becoming brighter, that we are are witnessing them being created is an interpretation by people who decided they were before ever looking at the evidence.
You may believe you are seeing a star being born but you cannot document anything of the sort. The evidence is just as easily explained as a clearing dust cloud.
The only documentation for the creation of stars is here:
Gen 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
Either the Bible is true or the idea that stars are being created is. People like Hugh Ross find it necessary to force never before heard of interpretations on God’s word because they do not believe the Biblical account i it differs from the popular secular view even when the “evidence” for the secular view is circumstantial at best.
E
He has the right to his opinion but not to claim he got these ideas from scripture, that is simply untrue.
Over and over again Discovery channel suggests (indoctrinates) that the earth started and was formed by fire,lava,volcanoes inside and out. If this is remotely true, where did the water come from on the earth?
As I see it we like to believe that we have the intellect to have all the answers.
Truth is we do not even know how is memory stored and retrieved in our own brains and yet we try to explain the construction of universe from observations based on the spectrum of Light. We monitor data form billions of years ago and factor them in the present tense without taking into account the period whose data we are discussing in the first place. Our obsession with Time and complete belief in Einsteinium Physics prevent us to ask a simple question.What if the universe is not flat but curved along spherical contours.What if the light spectrum behaves in non uniform ways at all nodes and inter-nodes. Where do we factor in the inter-play of gravity and non-gravity.
My point sir is that right now our knowledge is not advanced enough to prove or disapprove the existence or non existence of God .
Dear Sandeep:
Science rarely proves much of anything, if is a fallible human endeavor. It is a wonderful tool but it is not the highest authority , God is.
What science does know is the only source of information known is the willful act of an intelligent mind. In order to deny the existence of God you are forced to believe that living cells which are more specifically complex and packed with information that anything man can imagine , let alone ever hope to assemble assembled themselves by dumb luck. There is no means by which non living matter can assemble itself in a precise matter of incredible complexity, specific complexity.
No point mutation studied on the molecular level has been shown to not destroy genetic information , let alone to create it. Information cannot arise by itself from matter, that is a fact of scientific law. Man does not deny his creator for scientific reasons or because there is any lack of evidence, they reject Him because they choose not to obey Him.
To all peeps: God does exist, if he didn’t you wouldn’t have the capabality to doubt his existence.And the universe is NOT billions of years old. proof: 1/2 inch of dust falls on a planet every 1000 years (it doesn’t show on earth because there is wind and people moving all around) if the universe was billions of years old then when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon he would have fallen through 1000’s of feet of dust, never to be heard of again. There was also no big bang. proof: 2 of the planets (Venus and pluto[though pluto may not be a planet anymore]) rotate on its axis clockwise, the rest including earth rotate counterclockwise. this is proof that atheists are wrong and so are evolutionists
Dear Josiah:
I would recommend going to AnswersinGenesis.org and look up arguments creationists should not use. At one time the moon dust argument had a basis but the data it was based on has changed and the argument is not valid.
NASA had decided before they left for the moon the surface would be okay to land on.
There is plenty of evidence from science but your authority as a Christian must be the Word of God. All the scientific data in the world will not convict a persons soul, only the Holy Spirit can do that. If ther argument was over science and the argument was genuine it would have ended with Louis Pasteur if not before.
I appreciate you wanting to defend your faith but please study first, that argument has not been valid for decades. If you want the best argument from science Perry’s information argument is the best , sadly he does not see the problem with death before sin.
Here are the unanswerable scientific arguments.
What is the origin of life, even Darwin admitted it was fundamental so he ignored it. Assuming the first life capable of reproducing was ‘Just There” is religion, not science. Abiogenesis is a wiggle word for spontaneous generation, it is nonsense. Even evolutionists know this and most try and disassociate the origin of life from evolution, That is disingenuous, dead things don’t evolve.
Second is the origin of the genetic code, of genetic information. languages don’t write themselves and information does not arise by itself from matter.
Again I appreciate your zeal but a smart evolutionists will hand your head to you if you don;t do your homework.
