WHAT IS A SCIENTIFIC THEORY?A scientific theory is the summary of a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that is supported with repeated tests. The more the evidence supports a hypothesis the better the chance of it becoming a theory and becomes accepted as an accurate explanation of a phenomenon.

HOW A THEORY BECOME AN ACCEPTED FACT

First of all, when a scientists calls something a 'theory', the meaning is different than when a regular person calls something a 'theory'. For a scientist, a 'theory' is something much more than a simple hypothesis. It is a coherent assembly of observations and explanations that works in a wide variety of situations. The difference between a scientific theory and a 'fact' is pretty minimal. The next level up from a 'theory' is a 'law' which is something that is even more encompassing.

It is also the case that when a theory become substantiated enough to be called a law (the Law of Gravity), it is often the case that people are accustomed to calling it a theory, so that terminology remains. So, so example, Quantum Theory is one of the best proved facts about the universe that we have. Similarly, the Theory of Evolution is a fact substantiated by many, many observations. The only reason either is called a theory rather than a law is tradition

HOW THE UNIVERSE BEGAN

THE BIG BANG THEORY :

WHAT IS IT?

Astronomy and Physics have made many discoveries which proves that the universe had a beginning. Therefore, the big bang theory basically explains what happened at the beginning of the universe The theory suggests that the universe began by expanding from a small volume with higher density and temperature.

Not until the early 1900s, majority of the population on earth believed that the universe was in fixed size and this was due to the several observations of the structure of the universe made by different scientists.

THE IDEA OF EXPANSION OF THE UNIVERSE.PROCESS INVOLVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT Albert Einstein- In 1915, Einstein developed his popular general relatively theory that

describes the nature of space time and gravity. The theory was to allow for expansion or concentration of the fabric of space. However, Einstein’s believe in static universe forced him to modify and put in cosmological constant to make the universe static.

Alexander Friedman- After 10 years of Einstein’s work, Friedman considered the cosmological constant being wrong so tried to solve the equations. In the process derived his own equations from Einstein’s general relatively equations. Friedman’s equations proposed that the universe was expanding in two models which are the open universe and the close universe. According to Friedman, both time and space have a beginning and an end meaning both began with a big bang and will end when gravity stops the universe pulls everything to one place which is known as the big squeeze. The universe expanding is so because the space is also expanding. The open theory on the other side of the theory views that the universe began with a big bang and will continue to expand forever because time and space has no end.

• Edwin Hubbles - In 1924, Hubbles came up with the idea to measure the great distant to the nearest nebulae which showed the systems were indeed other galaxies. Hubble took the trouble to develop several series distance indicators using the 100-inch(2,500) hooker telescope at mount Wilson observatory. The enabled him to estimate the distances to galaxies whose red shifts was measured by slipher in the early 1912. He discovered a correlation between distance and recession velocity known as the Hubble’s Constant/ law. The law explained the rate at which the universe is expanding whiles the constant is used to estimate the size of the universe.

During the 1920s and 1930s most major cosmologist preferred an eternal steady state universe whiles others complained that the beginning of time implied the Big Bang imported religious concepts into physics.

DOES SCIENCE HAVE LIMITS• Science can't answer questions about value. For example, there is no scientific answer to

the questions, "Which of these flowers is prettier?" or "which smells worse, a skunk or a skunk cabbage?" And of course, there's the more obvious example, "Which is more valuable, one ounce of gold or one ounce of steel?" Our culture places value on the element gold, but if what you need is something to build a skyscraper with, gold, a very soft metal, is pretty useless. So there's no way to scientifically determine value

• Science can't answer questions of morality. The problem of deciding good and bad, right and wrong, is outside the determination of science. This is why expert scientific witnesses can never help us solve the dispute over abortion: all a scientist can tell you is what is going on as a fetus develops; the question of whether it is right or wrong to terminate those events is determined by cultural and social rules--in other words, morality. The science can't help here

• science can't help us with questions about the supernatural. The prefix "super" means "above." So supernatural means "above (or beyond) the natural." The toolbox of a scientist contains only the natural laws of the universe; supernatural questions are outside their reach

QUESTIONS SCIENCE CAN NEVER ANSWER

Is there life after death?

Yes

Evidence

According to professor Lanza, scientist, from Wake Forest University School of Medicine in North Carolina who developed a theory called biocentrism which explains that the universe only exists because of an individual’s consciousness of it – essentially life and biology are central to reality, which in turn creates the universe; the universe itself does not create life. He further continued that when we die, our life becomes a “perennial flower that returns to bloom in the multiverse”. He added: “Life is an adventure that transcends our ordinary linear way of thinking. When we die, we do so not in the random billiard-ball-matrix but in the inescapable-life-matrix.”

QUESTIONS SCIENCE ARE CURRENTLY ADDRESSING

Is there a cure for Ebola?

NO because…

Researchers claims is very difficult developing treatments for viral diseases, compared with bacterial diseases, said Derek Gatherer, a bioinformatics researcher at Lancaster University in the United Kingdom who studies virus genetics and evolution. "Antiviral therapy has lagged behind antibacterial therapy for decades," Gatherer said. That's because viruses are small molecules that produce only a handful of proteins, so there are fewer "targets" for treatment, Gatherer said. For this same reason, it has been hard to develop a vaccine against Ebola; a person's immune system (which is primed by vaccines) has a small target, Gatherer said.

Yes because…

In a 2012 study, four monkeys with Ebola survived the infection when they were given a combination of these antibodies one day after infection.

REVIEW“Ebola virus, being highly pathogenic for humans and non-human primates and the subject of former weapons programmes, is now one of the most feared pathogens worldwide. In addition, the lack of pre- and post-exposure interventions makes the development of rapid diagnostics, new antiviral agents and protective vaccines a priority for many nations. Further insight into the ecology, immunology and pathogenesis of Ebola virus will promote the delivery of these urgently required tools.” Heinz Feldmann is at the Special Pathogens Program, National Microbiology Laboratory and Department of Medical Microbiology, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada.

QUESTIONS SCIENCE HAVE ALREADY ANSWEREDHow does the earth looks like? Is it flat?

NO

Evidence

In 1956, Samuel Shelton founded a society that subscribed to a theory that the shape of the earth is flat and he based his theory upon what he called common sense and personal observation. He claim the scientific evidence or a globe-shaped Earth "dogmatic," meaning scientists were making this claim without adequate evidence. Sheldon and his people denied pictures people showered them of earth taken by satellites.

YES

Shelton died n 1971, and leadership of the society passed to Charles Johnson. Johnson led the society until his death in 2001. Without leadership, the society fell apart. Critics of the Flat Earth Society say that its members simply deny any evidence that conflicts with their world view without offering real alternative.

WHY THERE IS RESISTANCE TO SCIENTIFIC THEORIES

PEOPLE REJECT SCIENCE BECAUSE….

The general answer to this question would be because all these theories are met with outspoken opposition. However, research has shown that that people who endorse free-market economics are prone to reject science with regulatory implications- such as the between tobacco and lung cancer, or greenhouse gasses and climate change.http://phys.org/news/2013-10-left-wrong-people-science.html

An example of such theories is THE BIG BANG THEORY.

Religion accepting the theory

• The bible’s opinion about creation by Christian and Jewish views that the Heavens and Earth in 6 days but people wonder “how long God consider a day?” According to the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Pius XII was a strong promoter of the big bang theory which made the church follow the idea behind the theory. Because of this, these religions do not accept the bible’s interpretation about creation and consider it a metaphysical tale.

• In Islam the Qu’ran states, “Do not the unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together as one unit of creation, before We clove them asunder?" (Ch:21, Ver:30). Later, the Qu'ran describes an expanding universe: "The heaven, We have built it with power. And verily, We are expanding it." (Ch:51, Ver:47)”. This lead to many followers of Islam accepting Big Bang interpretation of the beginning of the universe.
