I see these people everywhere and I wonder why people don’t believe it. Does anyone know why some people think this way?
There is some pleasure to be taken in the thought that "I am smarter than those silly scientists". There is some pain to be avoided by not thinking too hard about how one's preconceived view might be wrong.BadgerBadger92 said:I see these people everywhere and I wonder why people don’t believe it.

I’m going this summer.Vanadium 50 said:Why are you shocked that other people don't beleve what we tell them. You don't either. For example, did you follow our advice when you started your community college course?
You need to get past long division first:BadgerBadger92 said:I don’t think they teach relativity or quantum mechanics in community college.
I know high school algebra.Vanadium 50 said:You need to get past long division first:
Pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, Algebra 2, trig, Calculus 1 and 2, Differential equations, College Physics 1 and 2, and then you'll be ready to take those classes. But this isn't the first time you have said this, and it has yet to happen.
In short, you're doing exactly what you don't want others to do. Only the topic is different.
When have I insulted people on this forum?Vanadium 50 said:I am sorry about your mother. But you shouldn't be surprised that you are getting pushback to the idea that we should look down on these other people who are doing something very similar to what you ahve done here for a decade.

There are several reasons why some people do not believe in the Big Bang theory. These include a lack of understanding of the scientific evidence, religious beliefs that conflict with the theory, the complexity of the science involved, skepticism about scientific consensus, and the influence of misinformation. Each of these factors can contribute to a person's reluctance to accept the Big Bang as the explanation for the origin of the universe.
The term "theory" in scientific context is often misunderstood. A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is based on a body of evidence and has stood up to repeated testing and scrutiny. The Big Bang theory is supported by a wide range of observations, including the cosmic microwave background radiation, the abundance of light elements, and the redshift of galaxies, making it the most widely accepted explanation for the origin of the universe among scientists.
For some individuals, religious beliefs play a significant role in their worldview and can conflict with the scientific explanation provided by the Big Bang theory. Some religious doctrines propose different origins of the universe that are not compatible with the scientific model. This can lead to a rejection of the Big Bang theory in favor of religious explanations. However, many people find ways to reconcile their religious beliefs with scientific understanding.
The Big Bang theory involves advanced concepts in physics, cosmology, and mathematics, which can be challenging for people without a scientific background to fully grasp. The idea that the universe expanded from an extremely hot and dense state is abstract and counterintuitive, making it difficult for some to comprehend. This complexity can lead to skepticism or rejection of the theory.
Misinformation and the spread of pseudoscience can significantly impact public perception of scientific theories. Misleading information, whether from media sources, social platforms, or individuals, can create confusion and doubt about the validity of the Big Bang theory. This can lead people to question or reject the scientific consensus, especially if they do not have access to accurate scientific education or resources.
