so, it really wasnt until this week that i really got into the big bang theory.
aparently, the universe started out as a hot and dense supermassive ball the size of a pearl. the pearl then exploded around 13.7 billion years ago causing all and any material to fly out in all different directions. the atoms from the big bang then formed after our universe cooled down. how does something so little make something so big? not to mention, there are so many more galaxies out there (could be millions, or billions) while our solar system is only one. (the milky way.) who knows if there could be other life surviving in another galaxy wondering the same thing we're wondering. there have been scientists doing experiment after experiment getting evidence and data and have also said that we can still hear "hisses" from satilites from the big bang so many years ago. basically, what im asking is..do you believe it? |

The origin of universe has been explained by several cosmological theories. One of the more easily accepted and philosophically attractive theories was the Steady-State theory proposed by Herman Bodi, Thomas Gold, and Fred Hoyle in the 1940s. This theory suggested that the universe has always been just about the same as it is now and as it expanded new matter was created to fill in the gaps.
Today the most dominate theory about the creation of the universe is the big bang theory, proposed originally in 1927 by Belgian priest Georges Lemaître. Lemaître proposed the universe was created with the explosion of a primeval atom. According to the big bang theory, the universe was created approximately anywhere from 15 – 30 billion years ago due to the tremendous explosion of a primitive atom. This explosion created all the mass that is in the universe. Edwin Hubble explained this theory by observing that the galaxies that are twice as far from us are moving twice as fast and that the universe was expanding in every direction. This observation means that it has taken every galaxy the same amount of time to move from a common starting position to its current position. Since the Big Bang, the universe has been continuously expanding and, thus, there has been more and more distance between clusters of galaxies; a phenomina called the Red Shift. In 1964, two astronomers, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, in an attempt to detect microwaves from outer space, inadvertently discovered a noise of extraterrestrial origin. The noise did not seem to emanate from one location but instead, it came from all directions at once. It became obvious that what they heard was radiation from the farthest reaches of the universe which had been left over from the Big Bang. This discovery of the radioactive aftermath of the initial explosion lent much credence to the Big Bang theory. The big bang theory in my eyes some what covers most of what religion teaches us. God created the universe and everything in it. The method he used to go about this was the big bang. Its the only theory that explains how things just came to be all of a sudden and out of no where. I am a creationist and I subsribe to the big bang theory because of its mention in the Holy Qur'an and serveral other referances in religious text. There is no other way to explain something from nothing unless there was a mind behind it. Other then religion there is too much overwelming evidence to support this. 1) Universe expansion 2) Cosmic Nucleosynthesis. Helium Abundance. 3) Cosmic Background Radiation. 4) Olbers' paradox |
