The Biases of the Big Bang Theory Proponents according to Other Physicists


SCIENTIFICALLY BIAS



THE most widely accepted model of the origin of the universe is known as the “big bang theory”. However, not all physicists and scientists are convinced that the big bang is more than myth. One astrophysicist not on the big bang bandwagon is Geoffrey Burbidge. A University of California–San Diego physicist, Burbidge is best known for his work concerning the origin of the elements within the nuclear reactions of stars. He argued against the big bang for 50 years. Although recent discoveries and studies show the anomalies of the so-called evidences regarding the big bang theory, but many still hang on it and easilly dismissed any new ideas or evidences against that theory. About the biases of those insisting on the big bang model, this is what Burbidge said:

“For most people cosmology equals the big bang—is synonymous with the big bang. It is not true, in my view, but that is the way everyone is now talking, working, thinking and expecting, in the same way that in 1930 people became convinced that the universe is expanding. It is an idea that people take and now include in their thinking and their dreaming. We are told that we now understand what happened in a hot big bang. 
“When people make observations, they want to explain them. In the early days, people were observing and would publish without trying to fit it to a theory or into a puzzle. But things have changed. Today if you submit a paper and do not explain where it fits in, the referees and your colleagues will be chasing you saying that you must understand this, that or the other. 
“The only thing we have going for us as scientists is the respect of our colleagues. And that comes through what we say or write. If others don’t like what we say or write, our reputations suffer, and for most young people that means they don’t get jobs or support for their work. It is a pernicious system.
“The problem is that scientists are people. We like to think that we are creative people, and we are. But also, like other people, we are conservative. We may say we love new ideas, but if I’ve been working on something for 20 years I become dedicated to it. Take redshifts for example. If redshifts are a measure of the distance of quasars, then people who are studying quasars are studying the edge of the universe. So far so good. But suppose I don’t believe redshift is about distance, and I turn out to be right. Then all of the other people have to admit that they have wasted the last 20 years of their lives. People will move heaven and earth to see that this does not happen. I have seen this happen in practice. Most people don’t change their mind; most people repeat their thesis over and over.”

Bakit si Cristo ay tinawag na "Alpha at Omega"?


“ALPHA AT OMEGA”



Roberto Lipang ASK KO LANG PO SABI NG MGA PARESEYO KAY HESUS NA IPINAPANTAY NIYA ANG KANYANG SARILI SA DIYOS KALAPASTANGANAN ANG GINAGAWA NIYA SA AKLAT NG PAHAYAG SABI NI HESUS KAY JUAN "AKO ANG ALPHA AT ANG OMEGA" NA GANOON DIN ANG AMANG DIYOS KALAPASTANGANAN BA ANG SINABI NI HESUS KAY JUAN”

SAGOT:

Hindi ito paglapastangan sa Diyos sapagkat nang sabihin ni Cristo na Siya ang “alpha at omega” (una at huli) ay hindi ito nangangahulugang nakikipantay Siya sa Diyos sapagkat IBA ANG PAGKA-UNA AT HULI NI CRISTO SA PAGKA-UNA AT HULI NG DIYOS.

About "Bo. Calzada": A Glimpse of INC History


A GLIMPSE OF INC HISTORY:
ABOUT “BO. CALZADA”
By Eric M. Lopez

Brother Felix Y. Manalo was born on May 10, 1886 in Sitio Calzada, Village of Tipas, Town of Taguig, Province of Manila. Why other writings mention “Barrio Calzada, Taguig”?

During his birth, Calzada was only a hamlet (“sitio” in Tagalog) of Barrio Tipas. By the way, the words “nayon” and “barrio” both have the same meaning, “village.” But the word “nayon” was commonly used during the Spanish period, while the word “barrio” was commonly used during the American period. Today, we commonly use the word “Barangay.”

However, in 1974, Barrio Tipas was divided into four barrios: (1) Calzada; (2) Ibayo Tipas; (3) Ligid; and (4) Palingon.[1] Thus, since then, Calzada is an independent barrio or barangay, and commonly fefer to in 1970s and 1980s as “Bo. Calzada” (Barrio Calzada). Today, we commonly use “Barangay Calzada.” This is the reason why current writings about Brother Felix Y. Manalo referred to his birthplace as “Bo. Calzada, Taguig” or “Barangay Calzada, Taguig” instead of “Sitio Calzada, Barrio Tipas, Taguig” (or “Calzada, Tipas, Taguig”).

On July 27, 2007, coinciding with the 93rd Anniversary of the Iglesia Ni Cristo, the National Historical Institute unveiled a marker on the birth place of Brother Felix Y. Manalo, declaring the site as a National Historical Landmark. The marker is located at Barangay Calzada, Tipas, Taguig City, where the ancestral home of Manalo once stood. The marker sits on a 744 square meter plaza.[2]
