Further proof you don't know what the hell you are talking about. Infinite matter? It is widely believed that there is a finite amount of matter in the universe.


Here, let me highlight the hypocrisy. Can't be proven by facts, yet you take beliefs as facts and then lecture people about how wrong their beliefs are.

That there is finite matter (and energy) in the universe is well supported by evidence. As is the big bang theory.


It's still a theory. The obvserbable Universe is the only thing the Big Bang takes into account. What if our "universe" was a single event inside an infinite Universe? In that case there would be an infinite amount of matter and energy. Also, how do we know what's beyond the observable Universe?

You're talking about the multiverse, which is believed by a lot of scientists but not at the moment supported by much evidence. Just some maths. That doesn't change the definition of what our universe is though. Nobody is claiming that our universe is the only matter and energy, just that our universe is a broadly closed system with a finite amount of matter and energy. Also we don't know what's beyond the observable universe, apart from that it is no longer the universe. We have (amazingly and completely gobsmackingly awesomely) observed the edge of the universe. It's one of the strongest pieces of evidence for the big bang, we observed the radiation that the theory predicted would be there.

Also "It's still a theory" is the oldest and most annoying line in the book. In science a theory does not change to a fact once it has enough evidence that it is true. In science a theory is simply "This is the mechanism that explains these observations". If something is a mechanism to explain observations it remains a theory no matter how much evidence there is behind it.
