Essay/Term paper: Evolution, just a stupid religion

Essay, term paper, research paper:  Medicine

The following is an essay I found on www.oppapers.com. It is entirely the authors own
work and I have not changed anything in it. This is a clear depiction on how textbooks
brainwash children into believing that hocus pocus is fact. After this essay I will explain,
scientifically, in what ways the big bang is nothing more than a well thought up story,
and how evolution is nothing more than a religion. And how the Big Bang model is not
the most logical and reasonable theory to explain the universe in modern science.

This is the exerpt of the brainwashed student, enjoy:
"It is always a mystery about how the universe began, whether if and when it will end.
Astronomers construct hypotheses called cosmological models that try to find the answer.
There are two types of models: Big Bang and Steady State. However, through many
observational evidences, the Big Bang theory can best explain the creation of the
universe.

The Big Bang model postulates that about 15 to 20 billion years ago, the universe
violently exploded into being, in an event called the Big Bang. Before the Big Bang, all
of the matter and radiation of our present universe were packed together in the primeval
fireball-an extremely hot dense state from which the universe rapidly expanded. The Big
Bang was the start of time and space. The matter and radiation of that early stage rapidly
expanded and cooled. Several million years later, it condensed into galaxies. The
universe has continued to expand, and the galaxies have continued moving away from
each other ever since. Today the universe is still expanding, as astronomers have
observed.

The Steady State model says that the universe does not evolve or change in time. There
was no beginning in the past, nor will there be change in the future. This model assumes
the perfect cosmological principle. This principle says that the universe is the same
everywhere on the large scale, at all times. It maintains the same average density of
matter forever.

There are observational evidences found that can prove the Big Bang model is more
reasonable than the Steady State model. First, the redshifts of distant galaxies. Redshift is
a Doppler effect which states that if a galaxy is moving away, the spectral line of that
galaxy observed will have a shift to the red end. The faster the galaxy moves, the more
shift it has. If the galaxy is moving closer, the spectral line will show a blue shift. If the
galaxy is not moving, there is no shift at all. However, as astronomers observed, the more
distance a galaxy is located from Earth, the more redshift it shows on the spectrum. This
means the further a galaxy is, the faster it moves. Therefore, the universe is expanding,
and the Big Bang model seems more reasonable than the Steady State model.

The second observational evidence is the radiation produced by the Big Bang. The Big
Bang model predicts that the universe should still be filled with a small remnant of
radiation left over from the original violent explosion of the primeval fireball in the past.
The primeval fireball would have sent strong shortwave radiation in all directions into
space. In time, that radiation would spread out, cool, and fill the expanding universe
uniformly. By now it would strike Earth as microwave radiation. In 1965 physicists Arno
Penzias and Robert Wilson detected microwave radiation coming equally from all
directions in the sky, day and night, all year. And so it appears that astronomers have
detected the fireball radiation that was produced by the Big Bang. This casts serious
doubt on the Steady State model. The Steady State could not explain the existence of this
radiation, so the model cannot best explain the beginning of the universe.

Since the Big Bang model is the better model, the existence and the future of the universe
can also be explained. Around 15 to 20 billion years ago, time began. The points that
were to become the universe exploded in the primeval fireball called the Big Bang. The
exact nature of this explosion may never be known.

However, recent theoretical breakthroughs, based on the principles of quantum theory,
have suggested that space, and the matter within it, masks an infinitesimal realm of utter
chaos, where events happen randomly, in a state called quantum weirdness.

Before the universe began, this chaos was all there was. At some time, a portion of this
randomness happened to form a bubble, with a temperature in excess of 10 to the power
of 34 degrees Kelvin. Being that hot, naturally it expanded. For an extremely brief and
short period, billionths of billionths of a second, it inflated. At the end of the period of
inflation, the universe may have a diameter of a few centimetres. The temperature had
cooled enough for particles of matter and antimatter to form, and they instantly destroy
each other, producing fire and a thin haze of matter-apparently because slightly more
matter than antimatter was formed. The fireball, and the smoke of its burning, was the
universe at an age of trillionth of a second.

The temperature of the expanding fireball dropped rapidly, cooling to a few billion
degrees in few minutes. Matter continued to condense out of energy, first protons and
neutrons, then electrons, and finally neutrinos. After about an hour, the temperature had
dropped below a billion degrees, and protons and neutrons combined and formed
hydrogen, deuterium, helium. In a billion years, this cloud of energy, atoms, and
neutrinos had cooled enough for galaxies to form. The expanding cloud cooled still
further until today, its temperature is a couple of degrees above absolute zero.

In the future, the universe may end up in two possible situations. From the initial Big
Bang, the universe attained a speed of expansion. If that speed is greater than the
universe's own escape velocity, then the universe will not stop its expansion. Such a
universe is said to be open. If the velocity of expansion is slower than the escape
velocity, the universe will eventually reach the limit of its outward thrust, just like a ball
thrown in the air comes to the top of its arc, slows, stops, and starts to fall. The crash of
the long fall may be the Big Bang to the beginning of another universe, as the fireball
formed at the end of the contraction leaps outward in another great expansion. Such a
universe is said to be closed, and pulsating.

If the universe has achieved escape velocity, it will continue to expand forever. The stars
will redden and die, the universe will be like a limitless empty haze, expanding infinitely
into the darkness. This space will become even emptier, as the fundamental particles of
matter age, and decay through time. As the years stretch on into infinity, nothing will
remain. A few primitive atoms such as positrons and electrons will be orbiting each other
at distances of hundreds of astronomical units These particles will spiral slowly toward
each other until touching, and they will vanish in the last flash of light. After all, the Big
Bang model is only an assumption. No one knows for sure that exactly how the universe
began and how it will end. However, the Big Bang model is the most logical and
reasonable theory to explain the universe in modern science."

At least in this essay the student understands that the Big Bang is just a theory,
and not a fact. Too bad that most evolutionists and textbooks portray the Big Bang as
fact. Most well respected scientists do not believe in the Big Bang on the grounds that it
is not scientifically feasible. ( Oh yeah by the way, I believe in the Big Bang. God spoke
and, BANG, everything is here.)

First off the student states:

"The Big Bang model postulates that about 15 to 20 billion years ago, the universe
violently exploded into being, in an event called the Big Bang. Before the Big Bang, all
of the matter and radiation of our present universe were packed together in the primeval
fireball-an extremely hot dense state from which the universe rapidly expanded. The Big
Bang was the start of time and space. The matter and radiation of that early stage rapidly
expanded and cooled. Several million years later, it condensed into galaxies. The
universe has continued to expand, and the galaxies have continued moving away from
each other ever since. Today the universe is still expanding, as astronomers have
observed."

Now if I asked an evolutionist what there was before the Big Bang they would say
"nothing." Well obviously there had to be nothing because they are trying to explain the
origin of the universe. ( Unless we talk Steady State, but that is a stupid story that
evolutionists use after the Big Bang is proved wrong. Even the student who wrote the
essay seemed to think so!) So then I ask, "Well then what exploded?" They have to
answer, "Well, nothing I guess." "So nothing exploded." "Yup." "Must have been a big
explosion if nothing exploded." "Yup." Then I just laugh at them because they are
actually serious about this! They think that this theory actually has a basis, and that since
"smart scientists" thought this up it has to be true. Well sorry, but the Big Bang is
actually the Big Blank and if they want to talk science then I"ll talk science. So I ask,
"Have you heard of the laws of thermodynamics?" They say, "Yup." "Well then you
know that matter cannot be created or destroyed." "Well DUH! Of course not." "But
you just told me that nothing blew up." "........?" "What about the other law? The one
dealing with entropy, have you heard of this one?" "Yeah, everything proceeds to a more
disordered state." "That"s good, you know the law. So then why did you just tell me that
the matter that was created from nothing condensed into well ordered galaxies?" ".......?"
"Say nothing did blow up and created matter, what was this matter expanding into?"
"Nothingness I guess." "So there was nothing out there to slow it down?" "No" "Did
you know that an object in motion remains in motion until an opposite force acts upon
it?" "Yeah that"s one of Newton"s Laws" "Good, then why did the matter all of the
sudden stop, begin swirling, and form galaxies?" (Now they begin to get annoyed
because I"m shooting them down hard-core.) "Well it just wanted to okay!" "Hey man,
you said that you wanted to be scientific. I"m being scientific. Now do you see how that
textbook has brainwashed you into believing some story as fact?" "........" "Oh yeah by
the way, what about that microwave radiation?" "You mean the remnants of the Big
Bang that is hitting Earth from all sides?" "You sure don"t want to let go of that Big
Bang notion, but anyways, if there was a Big Bang then shouldn"t that radiation only be
coming from one direction?" "........." And just about now the evolutionist will do three
things:
One, they will revert to Steady State and start naming tons of examples of
microevolution.
Two, they will start crying and run away.
Or Three, they will understand that the Big Bang is actually a horrible model and start
telling me that I can"t prove that God made the world either. This is exactly what I was
going for because now all that I have to say is, "First you tell me that my view is religious
and yours is scientific. Well then since I can"t prove mine and you can"t prove yours then
aren"t they both religious?" "........." Now the evolutionist will revert to the other two
possibilities. If he starts naming off microevolution then I"ll tell them that none of that
proves that we came from a rock. They will then go to choice two. Hopefully now after
reading this you have a better understanding of the real Big Bang. I welcome any e-mails
