That's just silly jerome. I'm simply holding you to account. You make arguments you don't understand, are illogical, and/or are based upon information you never read. You did it regarding radioactive decay, you did it regarding nylonase bacteria, and now you did it with fusion.Blatant falsehood. I respond to the vast majority of posts.
The fact that you and many others have to lie about me personally shows that your faith is superior to your knowledge.
That is the game---a chorus of you are wrong without any evidence of such.
This is insane.
This is like talking to Mormons about creation.
Does anyone besides me savor the irony of this statement?

There is massive evidence for that. First, we understand the laws of physics enough to know when fusion will occur. That's why we can build hydrogen bombs and controlled fusion tokamaks. The necessary conditions are satisfied in the sun. Second, we can observe the sun and ask whether the predicted spectrum of light, neutrino flux, temperature, etc. are consistent with the standard solar model. They all are, mostly to within 1%, and moreover the uncertainties are well controlled and understood (they mostly have to do with the fluid dynamics of the interior, which is hard to model in detail).
You have confused fission with fusion.
Here you have failed.
The process of combining nuclei (the protons and neutrons inside an atomic nucleus) together with a release of kinetic energy is called fusion. This process powers the Sun, it contributes to the world stockpile of weapons of mass destruction and may one day generate safe, clean electrical power.
Fusion (or ‘‘thermonuclear’) weapons derive a significant amount of their total energy from fusion reactions.
Yep, that is about the extent of your evidences. Shaving razors.
The fact that you find irony in the above statements is evidence of the insanity.
No, but the fact that you've willing to deny even the most basic concepts of science is certainly telling of your mental state, Jerome.
Hmm, ok ...I respond to the vast majority of posts.
This is insane.
As we are an educational group...
The sun is mainly hydrogen and helium. Due to the heat and gravitational force at the core, the sun fuses hydrogen into helium. The helium formed is just a bit less massive than the original hydrogen...the release of energy based on Einstein's famous formula is what keeps us warm.
As the sun ages, it will continue to fuse elements until carbon, oxygen...etc form. This will continue until Iron and Nickel are formed. Nickel and Iron have the highest binding energy per nucleon holding the nuclei together--the nucleai of iron and nickel are the most "stuck together" with the strong nuclear force. Therefore elements higher on the periodic table are not formed.
Eventually, the fusion reaction will spread out from the core and the sun will become a red giant and toast the inner planets...in about 5 billion years; when that happens, it will pulse and blow iron and other stuff out into space. Then it will collapse into a white dwarf.
Our sun isn't big enough to blow up like a super nova...in super novas, the energy of the explosion will actually manufactor the entire periodic table of elements--since they are rare, the heavier elements are rare as well. (this has sort of been reproduced during underground hydrogen bomb tests.)
Hmmm forgot fission
fission is splitting heavy elements with a neutron...such as uranium 235. This doesn't happen in the sun, but does occur at your local nuclear power plant.

Please, what exactly was the prediction made by the BBT concering CBR?
Guilluame, 1896, 6.1 Kelvin, Non expanding universe.
Eddington, 1926, 3.2 Kelvin, Non expanding universe.
Regener, 1933, 2.8 Kelvin, Non expanding universe
Nernst and Born, 1937, 2.8 Kelvin, Non expanding universe
McKeller, 1941, 2.3 Kelvin, Non expanding universe
Hermann and Alpher, 5-7 Kelvin, The Big Bang
F. Freunlich, 1953, 2.3 Kelvin, Non expanding universe
Gold, Bondi, Hoyle, 1955, 2.78 Kelvin, Steady state universe
Gamow, 1961, 50 Kelvin, The Big Bang
Penzias, Wilson, 1965, 3.0 Kelvin, Detected
Nothing much. Infact, the actual prediction was quite far away compared to most of the non expanding universe predictions.
It was nothing better than the numerous, non expanding, universe models that already existed before the notion of the "big bang"
Big Bang advocates often claim that the discovery of the CMB is conclusive proof of their theory, history shows that there is a long line of predictions, previous to those made by big bang theorists; none of which needed an expanding universe; and most predicted the value with far greater accuracy. The CMB temperature has no preference for one theory or the other, and so can not be used as conclusive proof of any particular model.
The CMB is not a confirmation of the Big Bang. All of the cosmologies above predicted it, so it can not be *proof* of any one over the other. If you look at the actual predictions made before the final confirmation, a non expanding, steady state type universe, clearly wins over the "Big Bang" predictions.
