What do you think about the resistance of people to the Copernican model in the 16th to 18th centuries?
Did they have relatively low intelligence?
Was mathematics a barrier?
Were they obstinate?
Was it too hard to understand?
Was it a political problem?
Was the optical illusion too much to overcome?
Was it due to their interpretation of scripture?
What do you think about the resistance of 1/3 of Americans to the concept that galaxies and solar systems formed naturally?
Do they have relatively low intelligence?
Is mathematics a barrier?
Are they obstinate?
Is it too hard to understand?
Is it a political problem?
Is it hard to believe that the data from telescopes is correct or correctly interpreted?
Is it due to their interpretation of scripture?
Do you think that humans are significant or insignificant in the universe.
Should we base importance on intelligence?
Should we base importance on the size of the earth?
Is it likely that we are one of, or the only, example of intelligence in the universe?
If intelligence is so rare, then is it necessary for the universe to have had so many galaxies, stars, and planets to have one example of intelligence?
Why did so many people, particularly atheists, resist the concept of the Big Bang model for several decades?
Was it because a Catholic priest thought of it?
Did they have relatively low intelligence?
Was mathematics a barrier?
Were they obstinate?
Was it a political problem?
Was it hard to believe that the data from telescopes was correct or correctly interpreted?
Was it due to their philosophical perspective or their interpretation of scripture?
Why did scientists resist Fritz Zwicky's proposed existence of dark matter, but the next generation (40 years later) accepted the proposal from Vera Rubin?
Was it because Zwicky often proposed incorrect concepts?
Did they have relatively low intelligence?
Was mathematics a barrier?
Were they obstinate?
Does this seamless transition of four forces indicate an intelligent design of the universe?
Are the values of the forces over time verified by observation, theory, and mathematics?
Does the fact that the fluctuations are a function of the lambda CDM model make it more likely that steady expansion had a random natural cause rather than intelligent design?
How does the drop in dark energy after inflation impact the answer?
Does the precision required for steady expansion impact the answer?
Do scientific theories need to be verifiable or falsifiable by experiments or existing data?
Is it possible to test the existence of the multiverse?
How does the likely fact that the universe began from one quantum fluctuation impact the ability to detect anything that happened prior to the universe?
How does inflation impact the ability to detect anything that happened prior to the universe?
What evidence can you use to make an informed decision about the origin of the universe?
