  • This was a lot of words just to say “no”.

    The Big Bang isn’t necessarily seen as the “beginning” of the universe, it’s really just the idea that if we rewind time, all the galaxies that we see currently see moving away from each other would be in the same location. The universe could be eternal and cyclical; the big bang could just be the beginning of the last cycle.

    OP’s question is something I’ve though about myself. It would be so easy for a God talking to a person to just drop one tiny factoid to be verified later. You could say germs exist, you could say the planets orbit the sun, you could mention atoms, disease, almost anything. Instead God told a man to murder his own son to win a bet over nothing with someone he doesn’t even like because “trust me bro”. Jews and Muslims still won’t eat pork because they couldn’t figure out how to safely cook it 2000 years ago.

    There is one honorable mention: Hinduism states that the age of the universe is about 4.32 billion years. Today scientists believe that the universe is about 13.79 billion years old.

    I actually just switched from a laptop with 4G of RAM this year. It had a spinny drive so it was a little slow, but I was really only using it to watch videos over the network. This was all very snappy once it booted. Opening Firefox was pretty painful and would cause swapping though.
