NASA Reaffirms Big Bang Theory

Peretz writes "NASA has found evidence reinforcing a theory of what took place post-Big Bang and time expansion. They claim: 'Over the course of millions of years, gravity exploited the density differences to create the structure of the universe---stars and galaxies separated by vast voids.' Thereby creating a 'structure' to the universe -- a kiddush cup. '...finds that the first stars---the forebears of all subsequent generations of stars and of life itself---were fully formed remarkably early, only about 400 million years after inflation. This is called the era of reionization, the point when the light from the first stars ionized hydrogen atoms, liberating electrons from the protons.'"

    How is it possible to "confirm" a big bang theory ?

    Ten points to you for brilliant observation. Additionally, they don't even say they confirm the theory in any way what so ever - They only confirm that they think it is likely a good theory. And that doesn't mean as much as it used to, remember, NASA is among those telling you there is no massive covert black-ops weather modification program using chemical trails http://www.google.com/search?hl=no&q=chemtrails going on in all NATO http://www.google.com/search?hl=no&q=NATO%2Bnazi countries - even though I http://en.xiando.org/Chemtrails and half a million other people accross the world have taken literally thousands of pictures of such operations.

    Big Bang remains a nice theory. It may be true or it may be total hogwash - just like "evolution". I strongly encourage everyone to think for themselves, ask though questions and never believe ANYTHING NASA says is true just because they say it is.

    BTW, in addition to being a fundamentalist, I also support the legalization of pot. Thought you might find that cool.
