The most widely accepted scientific theory for the beginning of the universe is the Big Bang Theory. While there is no definitive answer as to how the universe began, it can be concluded that this theory is the most credible. It is said to have occurred approximately 13.7 billion years ago. Scientists have dissected this theory and have concluded that the universe must have originated from a single point of infinite density and finite time that began to expand. From this initial bang the universe has continued to expand …show more content…

The initial bang in this theory was extremely hot. It was so hot, that scientists and astronomers believed that there had to be left over heat and radiation somewhere within the universe to prove it. While studies on the Big Bang Theory began in the 1910s, the study of heat and radiation were not tangible yet. It wasn’t until 1965 when Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson discovered a 2.725 degree Kelvin CMB, or Cosmic Microwave Background radiation. “Cosmic Microwave Radiation is radiation that fills the universe and can be detected in every direction. Created shortly after the universe came into being in the Big Bang, the CMB represents the earliest radiation at can be detected.” In detail, Monroe W. Strickberger in his book “Evolution,” states that “Although visible energy seems to be radiating primarily from the galaxies and their stars, there is evidence from radio telescopes that a background of fairly uniform low-temperature radiation, pervades the entire universe. This black body radiation is predictable if the original big bang occurred between 10 to 20 billion years ago and began with an initial temperature of about 10^32 degrees Kelvin. As time went on and the universe expanded, its temperature decreased, reached the present 2.726K.” One theory that was used to try and debunk the Big Bang Theory was the “Steady State Theory” which basically said that the universe had always existed and that it was always expanding at the level of density. But this theory was no longer valid after left over radiation was found, because this left over radiation means that the density at the time of creation must have been a lot greater than the density of the expanding universe

However, the Universe was insanely hot (billions of degrees), so it is bursting with energy. With that intense amount of energy, “...the Universe expanded explosively, perhaps faster than the speed of light.” Afterwards, the cooling Universe began a series of “phase changes.” During the first second of its existence, distant forces like electromagnetism and gravity forms. At first, the universe was so roughed that particles destroyed themselves, resulting in pure energy.

In 1929, Edwin Hubble discovered the cosmological redshift and used it to establish the rate at which the universe was expanding. It is difficult to dismiss the supposition that the Big Bang was a giant, primordial explosion. Since the beginning, it has been generally assumed that, regardless of the cause, that under the influence of gravitation, the expansion of the universe must be slowing. It now seems unlikely that the expansion of the Big Bang involved a shock wave. This is an important consideration.

If it was found out that other galaxies are not moving further, and further away from us quickly. This would cause the Big Bang Theory too lose its credibility. Also if many other pieces of evidence were found out to be untrue , I believe this theory would lose much of its credibility. The first part of this theory, I will be discussing my main point, which is whether galaxies are moving away from us or not and at what speed. According to Hubble's law, the universe has been expanding since the creation of the universe.

The Big Bang Theory is the theory on how the universe came to exsitance. Scientists believe that 13.7 billion years ago that an explosive expansion occurred causing the universe to begin (May & Howell). Paley’s Design Argument goes against this well known theory, which

The expansion of the universe was all trigged by the famous scientist Albert Einstein, his work on the theory of relativity (e+mc^2) but Aleksandar Friedmann thought Einstein was wrong in addressing his problemhe thought to have with his equation, but Einstein theory was later proven right, Friedmann had mathematically proved that the universe is furthermore expanding or what he thought a possible contraction as well, though he had made assumption that the universe appears the same in every direction you look, so he could further prove his formula (write formula) , so due to the assumptions the expanding universe wasn’t fully proven at the time but he was the first person to prove mathematically that the world is expanding as and till this day his assumptions have been proven to be correct.

In physics, we have Newton’s First Law which is as follows: an object at rest will stay rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless an external force acts upon it (Lucas). We can use this law when looking at the standard model of the Big Bang Theory. Most scientists believe that before the Big Bang, there was no matter, energy, or space-time (McRae). With the Standard Model of the Big Bang, there is scientific evidence of a definite beginning. The Big Bang is also believed to have started the continuous expansion of the universe.

The Big Bang theory states that all the particles in the universe came together and started an explosion which turned into a substance that expanded into our earth. This took millions of years and millions more for our earth to cool and be ready to inhabit life. The redshift in the universe is great evidence for this

It is based on the premise that everything must come from or be caused by something else, which makes the argument fairly scientific in the beginning. Seemingly, everything in the universe is caused by something else, existence being an endless series of causes and effects. A domino falls because the previous domino pushed it. The earth and many of the planets are theorized to have come from a cloud of matter around the sun that condensed into large, almost spherical objects. The sun and the cloud of matter are theorized to have come from a star nursery and so on and so forth.

Since the beginning of time, people have believed in a higher being. Most recently in the last few thousands of years many believe and have refuted the existence of God. The argument of the existence of God will go on until human-kind cease to exist. Everyone has their own opinion on this topic and have reasoning to support their claims. One of many groups of the argument for the existence of God are the Cosmological Arguments.

Antonella Carducci Artenisio Mrs Smith EPQ Project Summer 2014 How was the Universe Created according to Different Religions/ Science? There are many beliefs on how the universe was created. There is no way to prove what was the real cause although a reasonable conclusion may be reached by each individual about how plausible any belief is. Although many cultures have different beliefs and there is a huge variety of them, the ones I retain more interesting are Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity and The Big Bang.

Hoyle described his theory as the Big Bang that was heard all over the universe. This very moment of birth the entire universe emerged from a point smaller than a single atom. Space itself exploding from a cosmic fire, launching the expansion of the universe and giving birth to all the energy and all the matters known today. Just years after the Big Bang theory, satellite like C.O.B.E showed strong observational evidences to support the Big Bang theory. These evidence consisted of amount of heliums in the cosmos and the glow of radio waves leftover from the explosion.

Furthermore, research conducted proved that the amount of elements in the universe correspond to the proportions expected the Big Bang occured. Thus, supporting the model. However, the model disregards the rule that nothing is able to travel faster than the speed of light. This is because, in the early inflationary period of the big bang, it was expanding in a times of a fraction of a second. Moreover, it violates the first law of thermodynamics, which states that matter or energy cannot be created or destroyed.

Pg. 63). The general principles of a cosmological argument are: effects have causes, things happen and things exist for a reason, it’s trying to explain things, and all our sciences, studies, and lives are based on it (McGowan, Michael. N.p.). During Josh Wheaton’s speech in defending his belief, he uses this type of argument and talks about the Big Bang. He talked about how in the 1920s, Belgian astronomer and theist, Georges Lemaitre, said the entire universe jumping into existence in a trillionth of a second, out of nothing, in a flash of light, is how he would expect the universe to respond if God were to actually utter the command in Genesis 1:3, “let there be light”.
