Do you have a better explanation for these things and can you provide evidence for it?
If the answer is no for either then it is obvious.

Surely you jest. The fact that someone believes that dinosaurs are a fraud perpetuated by 'Big Paleo' is so ridiculous that anyone with half a brain is always going to greet it with hysterical laughter. And yet you think that she has a point. I wonder why?
Now if you'll all excuse me, I'm off to the next staff meeting for Big Paleo, where I will be given a great big cheque for being a shill for them. (Actually I'm off to buy some fresh bread.)

Angry thats called a strawman argument, you should know that..I never suggested if I thought she had a point or not, you elude to a lie, a blatant misrepresentation
Shill, buy bread, do whatever you like but please dont create strawmen. It makes you look a little more than pathetic when you have to make things up to look clever

It states that all the matter was very close together (compacted) soon after the expansion started.
It doesn't comment on how it got there or what started the expansion, because that is unknown and impossible to study.
We don't even know for sure that it was a singularity.
We can only go back so far before we can't tell what happened.
For all we know it could be a stream of energy that crossed from one dimension to another, or be based on membrane collisions.
We generally don't know the answer to that question, but we do know that energy and matter started close and have been expanding ever since.
You asked me why i dont believe it
You just answered your own question for me

So, you can't even put your ego and crusade against science aside for one single post to honestly answer a question. Guess I'll just go back to ignoring you, because an actual religious / spiritual person would have explained their viewpoint. You are just a troll, likely an atheist trying to paint Christians / creationists in a negative light. If that is true, it is reprehensible behavior.

Its called a strawman and its disingenuous
I like science, just not stupid religious beliefs masquerading as science, no crusade.
My viewpoint has been explained countless times, I am over it, justifying my position.
Please go back to ignoring me, I would appreciate that. I think You are just a troll, likely an atheist trying to paint Christians / creationists in a negative light. Average behavior
barcs if you are so clever answer my question, hey great time to ignore me, I reckon turning tail and running is your best defence

Aha. I note that a) you haven't actually posted any links to actual facts of your own and b) you only like the science that you agree with, the science that fits your own personal world view. Oh and c) you seem to think that a belief in science is somehow 'religious'. It's impossible to argue with you because you continuously move the goalposts.

and I could say the exact same thing about you, throw in all your strawman attacks and personal attacks and lack of any evidence
I dont care, you cant answer my question, it still stands

Thank you for demonstrating, again, why it's pointless to argue with you. I did post links, links showing how birds are descended from dinosaurs, on this thread. Links that I note that you ignored. Because that's how you operate. Now, you're going to say that this is another attack. It's not, I'm just stating the facts. Because that's how you operate in thread after thread after thread. You always dismiss evidence, claiming that it's not really evidence as only you seem to know what the correct standard of evidence is that you will accept. We've seen this in thread after thread after thread.

Angry, to deny the speculation in relation to satisfactory evidence, ...
Youknow what, I dont care, I think your links are at the very worst lies , at the best a religious take on science because
Angry, your links hold no value.
You are not stating facts, they are theories based on belief, hope and desperation.
