How did the World begin?

Question

I'm not religious, , but I need to know, how can something come from nothing, don't you ponder this at night?

Even if you believe in God, where did he come from, everything needs a beginning, that's what drives me crazy.

Answer 1

The earth condensed from a cloud of gas and rock at the start of the solar system. The universe, as all evidence points, is extending and growing, so it must start from a specific point. This is the big bang.

What caused the big bang? Or how did that material get there in the first place? There is nothing avaliable to science to solve that yet. This is where a higher power could come in. Steven Hawking (I think) said once, "the only thing I can imagine before the big bang is God."

Answer 2

How Did The World Start

Answer 3

What world? This earth we inhabit, like the bodies we inhabit, is a temporary manifestation in constant change and flux. Like your body, it was born and it will die. It is not the same as it was yesterday nor will it be tomorrow. Obviously the time frames are very different, billions of years versus less than a century but the point is the same. It doesn't matter how this world began because it is impermanent, and the way it exists is the way you perceive it to exist in your mind. Buddhists are very sanguine with science and His Holiness the Dalai Lama is highly educated in physics and astrophysics. He brings together scientists from all over the world every two years for a gathering to discuss the latest in scientific knowledge and how it integrates into Buddhist teaching. In the core teachings we Buddhists are encouraged to be mindful of the suffering of all sentient beings "throughout space and time." This is a pretty good indication that the nature of the universe and the fundamentals of quantum physics were understood by enlightened teachers like Shakyamuni Buddha ("The" Buddha). The universe continues to hatch new stars and planets and others die. We undergo the same process, and only our subtle consciousness continues along, the "invisible, clear light" of mind. We can't see or detect or prove its existence -- yet. I'm mindful that up until very recently the existence of Dark Matter in the universe was only theoretical, but despite its invisibility to our human eyes science has now developed the tools to detect and quantify its existence. Perhaps one day we'll develop the tools to measure and pinpoint mind as it travels from body to body or through space and time. That would certainly be fascinating but not spiritually important to Buddhists; our purpose is to free all beings from suffering. We don't feel the need to "prove" our beliefs or theories on creation to anyone in order to do that!

Not everything can have a beginning... that fallacy is conquered by the kindergarten children that ask, "Why?"
how come i can't have a cookie? because we're about to eat dinner
why? etc. eventually the parent gets tired and says, "Because I said so."
What they are really asking is "What caused this?" when you respond, they ask, "Well if that caused this, then what caused that?"
If this question is asked enough concerning the world's beginning, then eventually there will be no response...
well there was an atom that exploded. "Why? What caused this?"
As far back as time goes, something had to be here before there was anything else, something had to be uncaused. It's not being religious at all to acknowledge that God must exist.
The world was created by an intelligent creator, all the facts point to that.

Answer 5

By the world, do you mean Earth or the universe? Earth began when a gas cloud from a supernova (a huge explosion from the dying of an extremely massive star, more than 8 times the mass of our Sun) is compressed and formed an average but higher than medium star (medium and average is not the same if you learned the central tendency in math). The remaining gas form planets, one of them is the Earth.

The universe was created literally from nothing in a huge Big Bang! Nobody knows how this is possible but this is the most widely accepted theory.

Answer 6

God is not dead, he is still alive. That's my belief anyway. Everyone will always have someway to disagree with everything the world comes up with. Have you ever heard of evolutionist? Well they believe in the "Big Bang" where the world came to be with an antom. But I have one question for all those people. How did an antom get there? I'm not even the Christian go to church every Sunday person but I stand up for the person who made me. They ask .. " how did God get here"? Well he is the beginning and the end. The world and the universe can't just BAM! Be there. Everything had to have a design with a creator to create it. So I'm on Gods side. I hope you find your way to the right path. But like I said. Why do I believe in a creator?


Because I have hope and faith in my higher power. Wouldn't you rather believe in him than be here just to be here with no purpose? With absolutely nothing to believe in?

Answer 7

Nothing is created out of nothing!
Every thing always existed.
The carrot you ate will be digested, some atoms will stay in your body, and some will go out in the toilet. Eventually the atom will go in the sewer, then into the river and oceans. Then it will evaporate into a cloud and into rain.
You will drink it some day... endless cycle.

The atoms will be associated with others in different forms, endlessly.
As for planets that come to life while others die.

It only takes an intelligent intervention to intervene and create new life forms such as humans!!

Answer 8

The history of the world is a reference to human history, which is thought to begin 3 Mya, when the first humans are thought to have appeared. Writing developed about 8,600 years ago, in four independent locations, and marked the end of pre-history.

Answer 9

Scientists have a problem with the (big bang) theory. Matter from energy? Sure it happens, but when it does you end up with a (- matter) and a (+ antimatter) of the same mass, ie. a positron and electron. They are created from an energy of greater than 1.022 million electron volts (Mev). Then the positron immediately combines with an electron to then create two .511 Mev gamma rays (energy from matter). The problem is that we are in a world of matter but where is the antimatter. Also many scientists say the world is way too complicated to happen by chance (evolution).
