I think we might be in disagreement on the definition of a singularity.  What do you consider a singularity, especially in the context of the Big Bang cosmology?  Does the singularity physically exist?  Does it mathematically exist?  Is there evidence to support or debunk it or are researchers trying to find evidence?

 

The singularity is just a mathematical signal that our model does not apply in this realm.  Researchers are not looking for physical evidence that supports an infinitely dense universe... instead, they're building a new theory that doesn't include the singularity.  

 

i think the theory is that blacks holes individually contain a singularity at their center, that the gravitational effects of black holes are actually a result of the singularity

i think that's how they're trying to tie singularities to our realm 

 

 

You seem absolutely certain that the scientific community has "faith" in singularities but when asked specifics there's a whole lot of "I think". Don't you think you should study what leading scientists in the field say before you make the claim that your remembrance that black holes and the big bang involve singularities is a sign that scientists are using faith?
