So this time you've decided to present your argument without the evidence in order to avoid controversy. How's that working out for you? Spot on, people disagree and the thread gets no where. Im not looking to avoid "controversy" as you put it, i just know where that road leads and people are unwilling or rather unable to look at these problems in a fresh manner as someone new to all of this did 2 years ago.

You are not going to be more persuasive by not presenting any evidence and saying, "but I believe it is true". Not on a science forum. As a result, I guess that this thread will be closed for "preaching" like all your other threads.

To be clear its not as if i didnt present evidence in my other threads, you just chose to disagree with the points that were brought up. The whole idea here is to make people aware of the problems in cosmology today, and its my belief that eventually science is going to have to revist the copernican principle if they want to move forward.

Prometheus Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 This thread has actually been an excellent demonstration of why belief in a creator deity is often conflated with religion: we see the same string of intellectually dishonest or simply misguided arguments are put forth together with an absolute refusal to engage in a coherent discussion.

Answer me this, before my patience wears out completely, how can I possibly look at the problem if you won't clearly state it and provide the associated evidence? I am willing to consider your hypothesis with an open mind, but you need start delivering more than "You need to believe me, because I am right."

If you are genuinely curious just go watch the documentary "the principle". Now dont get me wrong the producers of that film definitely have alterior motives, but i believe a lot of what is put forth is actually worth looking into.

Yes, I can see why that would appeal to you. Edited February 13, 2018 by Strange 2

Last chance to share evidence on your nonsensical statement that „the science community is debating behind closed doors the validity of the copernican principal” Your next post will contain data/evidence or I am reporting this thread to get trashed and locked.

Why the hostility tho? I did in fact link a harvard study that suggests we need a whole new approach to inflation, this is where cosmology is at today......the big bang or CP has to go.

I doubt anyone cares that much - especially as there isn't any evidence. But if there were any evidence, it would probably be seen as an exciting development. Like any "new science". 5 minutes ago, Scotty99 said: Why the hostility tho?

There is no reason to think that the Big Bang model is incorrect. There is no reason to think that the Copernican principle isn't accurate. Stop making these dishonest claims.

Im not sure you realize how deep the rabbit hole goes. You cant just casually have a conversation that upends the foundations of cosmology, it takes time to not only process the information but to decipher it.
Strange Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Or do you think that inflation is somehow fundamental to the Big Bang model? Is this the level of your ignorance? 12 minutes ago, Scotty99 said: Whats funny about this whole deal is that what im telling you guys is actually whats happening in the elite discussions of science today You don't know this.
