Big bang theory
You have all probably heard of this theory: the big bang theory. The big bang theory is one of the most accepted models of our universe. This model estimates the beginning of our universe at about 13.8 billion years ago. The model states that at the beginning of all this our tiny universe was extremely hot and dense. However it was rapidly expanding. Right after our universe stopped expanding that rapidly, the first atoms where formed. These atoms are believed to be mostly hydrogen and helium with small amounts of lithium. The other elements are believed to be created in the nuclei of the numerous stars that where formed. The big bang theory offers an explanation that seems very probable for numerous events that we have observed. For instance the fact that other galaxies are moving away from our galaxy suggests that the universe is still expanding, and that it once was smaller, thus denser until the point in which the universe was infinitely dense or near infinitely dense. The model is uncertain what could have happened at the beginning. To really get technical the assumptions of the big bang theory is that there is no room, but infinite energy. In other words there is nothing with an infinite amount of energy. This is referred to as a singularity. However when the universe has reached the point of singularity physics as we know it would not be able to explain a single thing. A research on this topic found that a previous universe has collapsed, not to the point of singularity but very close to it, that the effects of quantum mechanics repulsed gravity, causing the universe to expand again and forming the universe as we know it today.

...s to make the sky, let there be fertile and grassy soil with plants and trees. After this God made the sun, the moon and the stars. On the fifth day God filled all the seas with fish in all their kinds. God then proceeds to create birds, mammals, reptiles, livestock and finally mankind. Mankind is destined to rule the fish, the land animals and the birds. He gave mankind the responsibility to rule over the world and do whatever He wants.
Arguments against
If this theory where to be true, our universe would only be 12000 light-years in diameter. Since it is stated how the universe was created 6000 years ago, and since nothing can travel faster than light. This makes the whole theory redundant as we have observed multiple galaxies vastly exceeding the 12000 light-year diameter. There is also no proof or any evidence that backs up the existence of a god of any sort.
In many theories that come into the light in the scientific field, there are always gaps, there are always issues within each that have no explanation to them. For example, the big bang theory, this is a theory that attempts to explain how the universe was created. This theory states that the universe began as a very small, dense, and hot ball (Imagine the universe all put into a ball the size of a pen tip) with no stars or atoms. This ball then expanded incredibly quickly. The universe was then formed as the way it is now. Personally, I feel as if this theory has a major hole that prevents me from believing it is possible. This hole is, “What exactly put this ball into motion in the first place?”
In the beginning, according to Ishmael, God created Man to live peacefully on Earth, sustained by the fruitful bounties of Earth and subject to God's control. That is, until Man ate of the Tree of Good and Evil in the Garden Of Eden, and conveniently forgot all the rules God had so graciously placed in front of him. From that point on, the Caucasian race, full of vanity and pride for having seen so clearly what was good on the Earth and what was not, decided to subjugate the Earth to its will. During this turn of events, totalitarian agriculture was born. And God just shook his head.
Throughout history there has always been discussions and theories as to how the universe came to be. Where did it come from? How did it happen? Was it through God that the universe was made? These philosophies have been discussed and rejected and new theories have been created. I will discuss three theories from our studies, Kalam’s Cosmological Argument, Aquinas’s Design Argument, and Paley’s Design Argument. In this article, I will discuss the arguments and what these arguments state as their belief. A common belief from these three theories is that the universe is not infinite, meaning that the universe was created and has a beginning date. Each believe that there was a God, deity, or master creator that created the universe for a reason. They also believe that
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis1:1.) God’s perfect wisdom created everything. In Genesis 1 and 2 we can see that God has loving and gentile nature when He created the earth and heavens. God created man in his image and we are the only creation that God breathed in the breath of life for human beings (Genesis 2:7). God did not do this for any of other creations but only for humans. The Bible has many scriptures that tell us how creative God is. Genesis 1;26 states “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” God created all of this for us to have fellowship with him.
Throughout the text of the Bible, and especially evident in Chapter 3 of Genesis, there is a system which God has set up to denote the proper relationships each of his creations share with each other and with Him. An analysis of this reoccurring theme will help to establish that God’s intended system is a hierarchy in which there is an apportionment of “servants” and “masters,” with God having the final authority. This motif is first introduced in chapter 1 of Genesis where God sees that His creations are “good,” already establishing a higher standard, “good,” from a lower one, “bad.” In the system that follows, the hierarchy runs with God foremost as the creator; then humans come next as subservient to God, but are put in charge of ruling
He created us in his image to live in a paradise that he created The Garden of Eden. God created all and on the seventh day he rested and made the Sabbath day holy. Now it came that all the earth was perfect and man and woman were equally as happy. In the garden, the serpent promised Adam and Eve the possibility of gaining further knowledge to make them even more like God. “For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” (Gen. 3:5). With the violation of the law of God by Adam, sin entered the human race. From that point forward God cursed man and Gen 3:15 said, there will be enmity between woman and the serpent which lied to her. There will also be enmity between his seed and her seed God promised that eventually the serpent would bruise the heel of the seed of the woman. However, the seed of the woman would also bruise (or crush) the head of the serpent. This will be a fatal blow. In the seed of the Woman that will be Jesus crushing the head of the serpent which is the seed of the serpent which is not a child of the devil but more like his followers. God expelled them to work the world instead of rule the earth and constant chaos. As time passed and the descendants of Adam populated the earth came Noah and he had three sons Shem, Ham and Japheth. The earth was full of violence and wickedness and God regretted having made humans. But God found favor in the eyes of Noah and decided to spare him and chose ones to start the world anew. And so God destroyed the earth with the great flood that destroyed everything on earth that was not on the cedar park was dead after the forty days and nights of rain. Then Noah built an altar and made a sacrifice and God said “Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though an every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will
It is clear that we would need further evidence and advances in physics before it will be remotely possible to know the fate of our universe. Scientists now think, and mostly agree with each other that the fate of the universe depends on three main things: the overall shape or geometry of the universe, how much dark energy it contains, and on the “equation of state”; which determines how the density of dark energy responds to the expansion of the universe.
According to the Bible, on the first day, God created light and separated it from the darkness, calling light "day," and darkness "night." On the second day, God created a spread to separate the waters and called it “sky.” On the third day, God created the dry ground and assembled the waters, calling the dry ground "land," and the assembled waters "seas." God as well created vegetation on the third day (plants and trees). On the fourth day, God created the sun, moon, and the stars to give light to the earth and to oversee and distinguish the day and the night. On the fifth day, God created each living creature of the seas and every winged bird, dedicating them to reproduce and fill the waters and the sky with life. On the sixth day, God created the animals to fill the earth. God also created man and woman, Adam and Eve, in his own image to communicate with him. He dedicated them and gave them every creature and the entire earth to rule over, care for, and develop. On the seventh day, God completed his work of creation, so he rested on the seventh day, blessing it and making it holy. (chrisianity.about.com) The Bible says that God shaped man of dust from the ground, and exhaled into his nostrils the breath of life, and man then became a living being
Scripture reveals that in the beginning God, by His Word, made from nothing all things, and left His judgments unsearchable. God’s way is past finding out. His way is in the sea, His path in great waters, and His footsteps not known. God did not blindly create the heavens, nor the earth, nor all they contain, nor leave the outcome of anything to chance. By The Word of The Lord, He made the earth by His power, stretched out and established the heavens, founded the earth and established the world by His wisdom. He hung the earth upon nothing, formed the mountains, created the wind, and made the morning darkness. God created the hills, fields, fountains, the dust of the earth, clouds of the heaven, moon, stars, thrones, dominions, principalities, powers, things visible, invisible, and all that are in heaven and earth. They were made for Him and created for His pleasure. God makes peace, creates evil, and made the wicked for the day of evil. He made one blood all nations of men to dwell on the earth and determined the bounds of their habitations and times before appointed. He made the animals, the fish, the fowl, to teach, tell, and declare what He has wrought, in whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
The Big Bang is a theory that the universe was created in a very large
In Popol Vuh, there was not one animal, bird, fish, crab, tree, rock, hollow, canyon, meadow, or forest. Only the sky was there, and the face of the earth was unclear. Contrary to what partook in Genesis where there was one God, there were multiple gods who created the earth. They collaborated to create the generation of vegetation, the growth of life, and humankind. Once this had happened, they started asking questions because they realized that the water should be emptied out for the formation of earth 's plate and platform. After this came the sowing, and the dawn of the sky-earth. In between all of this, they came to a mutual agreement and proclaimed "There will be no high days, and no bright praise for our work, our design, until the rise of human work, and the human design." When this took place the earth arose because their words had brought it forth. The earth was formed first, then the mountain plain separated the channels of water. The branches wounded their ways among the mountains. Following this, the gods began to plan the animals. They created all sorts of animals, with different shapes and sizes. Shortly after they had finished, they then began to experiment with human
The new possibilities opened up in 1915, when Einstein formulated his famous general relativity theory that describes the nature of space, time, and gravity. This theory allows for expansion or contraction of the fabric of space. Which sounds completely reasonable, no? In 1917, astronomer Willem de Sitter applied this theory to the entire universe and boldly went on to show that the universe could be expanding. People like this is what we need, inspiration, for the future generations of bright minds. By 1930, other cosmologists, including Eddington, Willem de Sitter, and Einstein, had concluded that the static (non-evolving) models of the universe they had worked on for many years were unsatisfactory. Furthermore, Edwin Hubble, using the world’s largest telescope at Mt. Wilson in California, had shown that the distant galaxies all appeared to be receding from us at speeds proportional to their distances.
The strength of the Big Bang theory lies in the evidence for it, not the mechanism used to explain it. Actually, the theory has been revised a great deal since its first proposition and is probably not exactly as you think it is. I'll explain it in the order of historical development. My apologies if this is a bit technical - don't worry if you don't understand it all.
Every day God created something new and blesses it. God created nothing irrelevant or unworthy. Entirely everything he created served a purpose. Also all he had created came from nothing. The fish were undeniably produced out of the waters, and the beasts and man out of the earth; but that earth and those waters were made out of nothing. God created what is known as the world today and everything that exists on the earth. Reading Genesis 1 gives all mankind an idea of how life started and how the earth was formed to be this magnificent place. The earth is very complicated yet God could solve all of the problems and create blessings. He gave us light and darkness, day and night, water and land. He created all living creature including mankind.
The big bang theory is an attempt to explain how the world began. The big bang theory begins with what is called a “singularity.” This term is used to describe an area in space which defies all the known laws of physics. Singularities are thought to exist at the core of black holes. Black holes are areas of intense gravitational pressure. The pressure is thought to be so intense that matter is pressed together into an infinite amount of pressure. The dense hot mass of the singularity slowly expanded. This process is called inflation. As the singularity expanded the universe went from dense and hot to cool and expansive. Inflation is still continuing on today which means that the universe is continually expanding.
