I thought that many of you would very much appreciate seeing exact quotes from some of the most renown Theoretical Physicists and Cosmologists in our modern day about the initial condition of the universe. I think these are important because when we are witnessing to atheists, agnostics or anyone interested in how or if science can provide some evidence of intelligent design or a Creator, rather than getting into any kind of debate about whether a "Big Bang" occurred or not, here is 1 thing that all of the top scientists agree on - that the initial condition of the universe was not chaotic or random at all, but the complete opposite. They all agree that there was a high degree of order. How much order? Well their statements express it very clearly. I hope that these quotes and this idea of using the "special" initial condition of the universe to give an excellent witness to others which facts are backed by the scientific community will help any and all who will listen to us. Max Tegmark - Cosmologist and Professor at MIT "Our universe started out in a very unusual orderly state" Brian Greene - Professor and Theoretical Physicist at Columbia University and Author of "Fabric of the Cosmos" "The ultimate source of order, of low entropy, must be the very beginning of the universe" Sylvester James Gates Jr. - Theoretical physicist, Professor at University of Maryland, serves on President Obama's Council of Advisors on Science "The Big Bang is a highly ordered state, it is probably the most ordered event in all of physics" Sir Roger Penrose - Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford, 1 of the world's leading mathematical physicists and joint winner of the Wolf prize with Stephen Hawking for their contribution to the understanding of the universe: (speaking about the special initial state of the universe and the low entropy) "...you can actually work this out, it's so special that the odds against the special initial state coming about by chance are less than one part in 10 to the power, 10 to the power (123)... So if you try to write this out 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000(continue)… to put one zero on every particle of the observable universe you’d be way short... I just want to give you some feeling for how special the initial state of the universe was!" "I cannot even recall seeing anything else in physics whose accuracy is known to approach, even remotely, a figure like 1 part in 10 to the power, 10 to the power (123)."

Wanted to share this article with you all - definitely another attempt by false religion to appease the left, right, up, and down communities. Thoughts? https://metro.co.uk/2014/10/28/pope-francis-evolution-and-big-bang-are-real-and-god-isnt-a-magician-with-a-magic-wand-4925051/

Spanish newspaper La Razón has published today an interview with Russian physicist Andrei Linde, who proposed in 1983 a Big Bang refinement known as "cosmic inflation theory". The reason for the interview is that now, thirty years later, some evidence has been found that seems to confirm his hypothesis, so he's likely to be awarded the Nobel prize on Physics. I found interesting some of his comments about religion. (I haven't been able to find this interview in any newspaper in English, so I'm translating from Spanish). Even though he is not a religious person, he admits there are some questions science has no answers for. "We don't know how to explain the simple fact that we are alive, the meaning of pain or happiness, or what is it that makes us all alive, or the meaning of all of that in general", he declared. "I think we will ultimately try to understand all those questions at the same time our knowledge about the universe grows, and maybe at that point we will have a wide vision", he added. "It's not that we want to deny the existence of someone superior to our own intelligence, we only want to explore all the easier possibilities first", he explained.
