Rush Limbaugh questions Stephen Hawking's promotion of the Big Bang Theory: "Since nobody could see it, how the hell do they know it really happened?"


Soon followed by..... we’ve never touched the sun. How in the hell do we know it’s hot?

I guess you believe the Big Bang is 'proven', correct?

To be blunt, Limbaugh actually touches a few cornerstones of the scientific process, the ones of observation, replication, and predictability. But you know that, right? Or did you just forget those lil' ol' nuggets in your rush to 'snark'? Goes hand in hand with your erudite observation on string theory in your sig.... or... do you understand that connection in the slightest, either?

Three cornerstones completely ignored by the Global Warming”Science” Mob.

Thought this might be about Conor Lamb...

Hawking had a mind boner for kaley Cuoco.

Another cornerstone.....

Indirect observation. I guarantee you everybody above who defends such a moronic statement also is suspect of global warming. Just not sure enough.

Here’s another one that pops up from time to time. Science never proves anything. You won’t find a scientific proof. It is not the nature of science. Whenever someone spouts off about science proving anything they are outed as being scientifically ignorant. Now it doesn’t mean you are incapable of learning. I am not saying you are stupid. You are just misinformed. Look up Scientific proof. You won’t find one like you do in math. A theory is the best we have. It has never been disproven is what the lingo is.

Hope this little lesson helps you in your future.

RL's 'argument' applies even better to special creation.

It's called a theory for a reason

and that's how you are manipulated JTiger..... charlatans say..... it's just a theory. It's called a theory for a reason. It's a result of a poor education. When the outside world says 'theory" they should be saying hypothesis. It's a "hypothesis" for a reason. It is absolutely amazing to me how many people in our country are scientifically illiterate. Do not feel bad. You are by far in the majority and it's the result of a poor education. It's extremely endemic with Republicans. You were not taught correctly. This is probably the first time you ever heard of anything like this. I put stuff out there from time to time just to illicit this exact exchange. A scientific theory is "THE GOLD STANDARD". It does not get any better. Another poster who fashioned himself a Dr. in science would get tripped up on this every 6 months or so. It always outed him. Another misconception is laws. Some people think when a theory is tested well enough it becomes A LAW! No such graduation. A law is a natural occurence or phenomena. A theory tries to explain why a law happens. No theory will ever graduate into a LAW.

Hope this helps. It's why I am here.

Rush only has one goal in mind - to be the biggest conservative talk show host out there. If he has to make statements that confirm the beliefs of his audience...then that's what he'll do.

Rush is not the only person to do this. Rachel Maddow made herself look like an idiot on MSNBC in the name of ratings grabbing with the ridiculous Trump Tax Return fiasco. She intentionally ran with a weak story and ginned it up to pander to her audience.

This is why you educate yourself on the constitution (at least the highlights), learn how your gov't functions and observe the laws and policies that the gov't collects. While you will have to go to experts to learn more about the trickier parts of policies, you should be able to form your own opinion on how you think gov't should function and what their purview should be without political commentators telling you how to think.

Umm, from what I know of you both, I would guess that tanq's scientific credentials are better than yours.

I don't believe it. That is a very basic elementary scientific foundation. The very nature of science. He is either misrepresenting his credentials or the institution that he attained his degree is fraudulent. He should ask for a refund. It's like an engineer not knowing the Pythagorean theorem.

Really? I thought you were just here to post articles that you haven't read and make inaccurate claims. The number of posts you've made where you've linked an article that then says the exact opposite of what you claim it says is atrocious.

I've always thought it's interesting that we presume to know what the universe was and what it will become when we obviously don't understand all the properties of space and time and dark matter (or whatever causes the movement of galaxies to deviate from what would be expected).

riiiiggghhhtttttt..............


Listen, I know what is going on here. You guys have complained to the mods and got John and Fit banned. You are just working up the line. Now I am getting warnings for just pointing out the truth. You won't be happy until all of you little Trumpkins are marching hand in hand singing the same song. Well guess what? Not going to happen on my watch. When someone posts it's just a theory for a reason. I have to correct that. It's how the oil companies seed doubt in global warming. There is a reason Republicans are skeptical of global warming and this is the prime reason. They are too easily manipulated. It's just a theory is like nails on a chalk board to me. They should be saying hypothesis.

and ANYBODY with a scientific degree SHOULD DEFINITELY know that basic basic benchmark.

It's just a theory is hwo we get a guy like Trump as President................

It's a hoax made up by Ghina...............

Not true. The reason why we have a guy like Trump as president is because the Democrats rigged the primaries to give us a gal like Hillary Clinton as an alternative choice...

Stupid Democrats, the presidency was theirs for the taking if only Biden would have ran instead of the backroom deal that put Hillary on top...

mach....I say this as a friend.....I'd be shocked if one of the regular posters reported them.....

deservedly called out on the board???? absolutely..... #guiltyascharged on that one....

like the dippos, they did it to themselves....

you're on tilt again.....take a few deep breaths and another break.....

this shite isn't worth getting worked up over.....

you're arguing the semantics of developing a hypothesis that may or may not become theory that may or may not become fact.....think about that for a minute....one has to preclude the other before finding the light at the end of the 'chunnel'....
