They don't. What they do support is that the Universe must have had a beginning. This is because, according to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, there are irreversible processes in nature - the Universe can't remain the way it is forever.

Who invented earth is round and when?

The Earth was not invented, it came out of universe processes


Did thought create the universe?

It is unknown, but it is thought that it came from a singularity (check wikipedia).


Is there a loophole in big bang theory?

It is important to first realize that the big bang theory is a theory; it is not a physical law on its own for which there might be loopholes. However, I think (correct me if I am wrong though), that you are referring to the idea that the big bang theory states that the Universe started with a bang which just came into being out of nothing. This is not entirely correct, the big bang theory does not implicitly say that the Universe came into being at some point; it only says that in the distant past the Universe was very small and that it has been expanding ever since. This statement is well verified by observations and measurements. It does not claim or explain how the Universe came into being. It might sound reasonable that the Universe somehow came into being as a point, and it would fit with the above statements, but the creation of the Universe itself is not yet something that science can say much about. There are models, such as string theory, that sometimes have things to say about this, but they are far from testable at this stage. So, yes, it is possible that something else happened before the Universe became tiny and started to expand, and it wouldn't contradict with the big bang theory at all.


What type of energy is thermodynamics the study of?

The energy of motion and heat.


According to astronomers the age of the universe is estimated to be?

According to the standard theory, our universe came into existence as a "singularity" around 13.7 billion years ago. The age of the Earth is 4.54 ± 0.05 billion years.According to calculations, time and space had a finite beginning that corresponded to the origin of matter and energy. The singularity didn't appear in space; rather, space began inside of the singularity. Prior to the singularity, nothing existed, not space, time, matter or energy - just nothing.

How was the planet Earth created?

The Bible and Science are actually in tune with the explanations of the universe. Many scientist, from many numerous lines of evidence, have come to accept the 'Big Bang' theory which says the universe had a starting point. This indicates that nothing physical existed previous to this model and the universe is still expanding from that initial moment. Even the background radiation from the original 'explosion' can still be detected. Physics describes the universe in virtually the same cosmological terms as Genesis (George S. Johnston, Reader's Digest, May 1991, p. 31). Johnston goes on to say a growing number of chemist and biologists agree life came from 'clay templates.' Our laws of 'thermodynamics indicate that the universe had a beginning with much usable energy now running down. In effect, both the Big Bang theory and the laws of thermodynamics are in harmony with the Bible's Genesis 1:1 account.

What happened at the beginning of the universe?

There's a Nobel Prize in it for the person who can answer this question. Seriously, we don't know. Nobody was there, and whatever matter came into existence later does not really tell the tale. We have ideas, concepts, hypotheses; but nothing solid enough to be called a "theory", and not much in the way of evidence to support the competing ideas.

What came first the planet or the big bang?

The 'Big Bang' was the start of our universe, so before this event, there was nothing (although some scientists believe there may be other universes). So, the stars, including our sun, came later, and then the planets.

All the energy that is now in the Universe was there since the time the Universe started - that is, since the Big Bang.


What is a super universe?

When the Ewoks came to the universe, they also created a different universe, which is called "paradise." Which is a word humans can use nowadays becuase the Ewoks allowed them. The "Paradise" was popular, different galaxies came to the "Paradise," and now it is called super universe. Because of the Ewoks, we have 2 universes and 1 new word. "Paradise."
