Shall we meet at high noon in front of the saloon ? :twisted: Um... Not quite an answer...can I pose the question again? Can you clarify your critique? Do you mean that linear time and "big bang" cosmology are simply not true and not scientifically established, or that they're true and sc...

Occidental science has become the successor of Christian religion, by taking over its genesis with a god called “Big Bang” who creates an autonomous existence in form of matter which he hurls through a linear time/space to disappear in a black hole or nothingness.
