Who created the chemical elements for the Big Bang?

Question

And who pressed the button?

Answer 1

The existing molecular paradigms for explaining life and its origin, such as Oparin's model of coacervates, Fox's model of protenoid microspheres, Cairns-Smith's model of clay as our grandfather, Christian de Duve's thioester model, Miller's electrical discharge reactions to stimulate lightening in a so-called primordial gaseous mixture of H2, H2O, NH3, CH4, etc., of the presumed primordial or early earth, the RNA world, etc., seem to be quite insufficient for understanding life and its origin.

The incredible improbability of the evolution of a living cell from a cosmic molecular soup against many odds of known laboratory chemical reaction conditions, for example, maintaining an optimum pH, reaction time, proper concentration of reacting molecules, reaction medium(solid or liquid phase), overcoming the thermodynamic barrier, isolation of reaction products, and so on, forces us to consider with utmost seriousness a deeper and broader study of life beyond the molecular paradigm.

According to the major spiritual traditions of the world, especially the ancient Vedantic tradition of India, there is a spiritual dimension to life which accounts for the purpose and meaning in life. The indication is that there is a fundamental spiritual particle of life called atman(in Sanskrit). According to Vedantic literatures, the seed of life atman or `spiriton' or the soul is injected by the Supreme Lord in the womb of mother nature and by the interaction of `spiriton' with the material particles, various life forms develop on earth. This paradigm will also form the scientific argument about the existence of God and His creation.

Thus we have two models:

(i) First, the pure material scientific model, which proclaims that molecules will lead to life — called molecular evolution or molecules to life (MÞL) paradigm. (ii) Second, life as we know on earth is a combination of (a)molecules, and (b)atman('spiriton' or life particle or soul) or matter + spiriton will lead to life and can be represented as (M+SÞL) paradigm. Here, consciousness is a quality of atman(life). We can find support of the second model from the following statement of Niels Bohr, "We can admittedly find nothing in physics or chemistry that has even a remote bearing on consciousness. Yet all of us know that there is such a thing as consciousness, simply because we have it ourselves. Hence, consciousness must be part of nature, or more generally, or reality, which means that, quite apart from the laws of physics and chemistry, as laid down in quantum theory, we must also consider laws of quite a different nature." In the Vedantic worldview consciousness is a spiritual quality of life. John Eccles, the Nobel Laureate neuro-psychologist further echoed, "There is a fundamental mystery in my personal existence, transcending the biological account of the development of my body and my brain. That belief, of course, is in keeping with the religious concept of the soul and with its special creation by God."

Some questions:

1. Can the state of the art scientific knowledge satisfactorily explain phenomena like consciousness, bio-diversity, cloning, and the origin of life? Or how could current scientific studies help in explaining consciousness which is the primary quality of life?
2. How could we interpret the experimental findings related to life and its origin from the religious/spiritual wisdom?
3. What kind of new spiritual meaning and knowledge might we obtain through an integrated, interdisciplinary study of life and its origin?
4. Can a focus on life's origin from various spiritual traditions of the world help us to better understand evolution?
5. What are the possible means to introduce some of the wisdoms from religious/spiritual traditions of the world into the scientific mainstream?

Answer 2

There were no chemical elements involved in the Big Bang. The Big Bang was an explosion purely of energy at first. When it had undergona an inflationary period, some of the energy had cooled down enough to form subatomic particles, but it was still too hot. It was a plasma. Essentially, for the first 500,000 years, the universe was filled with light, the photons kept on going around and hitting particles, being absorbed, being reemitted. Finally at about that time, the protons, neutrons, and electrons were able to "condense" out and form mainly the elements hydrogen and helium. The universe then became "transparent". Light was able to travel without instantly being absorbed by something.

To those who say there was no big bang, the evidence of cosmic background radiation, which is essentially the leftover heat waves from the big bang, states otherwise. Also, the fact that it is roughly the same in all directions, with only incredibly subtle variations, show that it was a universal event. However, those subtle variations may be the cause for uch things as galaxy formation and the imbalance between matter and antimatter.

As to who created it, who pushed the button... there is nothing that states that if the Big Bang theory is true, that God doesn't exist. What is the first thing that the Bible says? What did God do? He said "Let there be light" and there was light. That describes the Universe for the first 500,000 years. The sequence of events afterwards follows pretty well, within the narrative form. Who pressed the button? God did. How could God do it? God always existed. How is that possible? God exiss outside of time, in eternity. Time began when the Big Bang occurred. God is a closed loop system. Eternal, neverending. That is how God knows what is going to happen... he's outside the box, looking in. That's also how he knows what people are going to do, even though he has granted them free will... he lets them make their decisions, but he can see the outcome. That's omnipresent.

There is nothing that states that you cannot have both God and the Big Bang. The story of Genesis, in the original Hebrew, does not say "day"... the word that is translated as "day" actually means "a period of time". 13 billion years of the Universe's existence is not negated by Genesis saying "seven days". It actually means "a period of time".

Answer 3

The question implies that thee is a conciousness responsible for the big bang. As far as we know, there wasn't.

At the instant of the big bang, there were no chemical elements. just an infinitely hot, infinitely dense single point that began to cool off and expand very rapidly. A few seconds later, the extreme conditions allowed a natural nuclear fusion to combine subatomic particles together into atoms in order to create hydrogen and helium... and a very limited amount of other chemical elements.

Answer 4

there weren't any chemical elements before the big bang, and none shortly after that either. hydrogen was the first to form, and then there was a brief stage of element formation known as BBN or Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, that lasted for about 200 seconds (during the period of space expansion). Then the temperature of the universe fell, and the rest of the elements, from beryllium on, had to be formed in stars.

Answer 5

I don't know, but with all the nuclear power we have, we can "big bang" the world 10 times over. How does Darwin explain that? I thought humanity was supposed to progress.
When I read Revelations I get a better picture of where the world is going. That is understanding of all ages.

Answer 6

For those of you "Intelligent Design" people out there who like to ask questions like these. Following your logic "if god didn't create earth, then who made all the gases"

FOLKS, use your own logic on YOURSELF, then where did GOD come from. OK...chicken and the egg folks.

if you believe in evolution and the Big Bang theory (which is just that, a theory, one of a few that scientists have evaluated) then there ISN'T A PERSON WHO CREATED ANYTHING.

Answer 7

No one created the chemical elements. They are naturally occurring. The reaction was caused by pressure.

Answer 8

The Structure of Nothing .
According to my peasant logic: 1 + 1 = 2.
=======================
Once upon a time, 20 billions of years ago, all matter
(all elementary particles and all quarks and
their girlfriends- antiparticles and antiquarks,
all kinds of waves: electromagnetic, gravitational,
muons… gluons field ….. etc.) – was assembled in a “single point”.
It is interesting to think about what had surrounded the “single point”.
EMPTINESS- NOTHING….!!!
Ok!
But why does everyone speak about EMPTINESS- NOTHING in
common phrases rather than in specific, concrete terms?
I wonder why nobody has written down this EMPTINESS- NOTHING in
the form of a physical formula ? You see, every schoolboy knows that
is possible to express the EMPTINESS- NOTHING condition
by the formula T=0K.
* * *
Once there was a “Big Bang”.
But in what space had the Big Bang taken place
and in what space was the matter of the Big Bang distributed?
Not in T=0K?
It is clear, that there is only EMPTINESS, NOTHING, in T=0K.
Now consider that the Universe, as an absolute frame of reference is
in a condition of T = 2,7K (rests relic radiation of the Big Bang ).
But, the relic radiation is extended and in the future will change and decrease.
What temperature can this radiation reach?
Not T=0K?
Hence, if we go into the past or into the present or into the future,
we can not escape from EMPTINESS- NOTHING T=0K.
Therefore it is necessary to begin to think from T=0K.
* * *
Everyone knows about the “singular point”, but nobody knows that it is
EMPTINESS- NOTHING! To understand it, it is necessary to ask a question:
What geometric and physical parameters can particles have in T=0K?
Can they have a volume?
No.
Then they must have the geometrical form of a flat circle: C/D =pi= 3,14.
But what these particles do ?
Nothing.
They are in a condition of rest: h = 0. So, maybe they are dead?
In order to answer of this question, it is necessary to more clearly understand
EMPTINESS- NOTHING.
* * *
Has this EMPTINESS- NOTHING a border? No! It has no borders.
EMPTINESS- NOTHING is indefinite. Let's identify it by the formula: T=0K = ∞
And what about time in the EMPTINESS- NOTHING ?
Independent time is absent.
Time in EMPTINESS- NOTHING is indissolubly merged with infinite space.
Stop!
But you see, such space is described by Einstein in Special Relativity Theory.
In SRT, space also has a negative characteristic and there also,
time is indissolubly merged with space.
Only in SRT, this EMPTINESS- NOTHING has another name:
Negative four-dimensional (Minkowski) space.
Then it is possible to conclude that SRT describes the behaviour
of the circle-particles in T=0K.
* * *
In agreement with SRT, these circle-particles can be in two conditions of movement:
To fly rectilinearly with a speed of c =1.
In this kind of movement , it is named a “quantum of light”, ”photon”.
2) To rotate around its own diameter and then its form and
physical parameters will change according to the Lorentz transformation.
In this kind of movement, it is named the “electron”.
* * *
But what is the reason for the movement of circle-particles?
In the EMPTINESS- NOTHING, nothing can influence the condition of rest.
Quantum theory gives the answer to this question.
1) The rectilinear movement of the circle-particles depends
on Planck's spin :h = 1.
2) The rotary movement of the circle-particles depends on the spin
of Goudsmit-Uhlenbeck: ħ = h / 2pi.
* * *
Very strange particles surround the "singular point ".
These circle-particles can be in three conditions:
1) h = 0 ,
2) h = 1,
3) ) ħ = h / 2pi
And they can independently decide what action to take.
So it can work only with particles that have their own consciousness,
which is not static but can develop.
The development of consciousness scale goes " from vague wishes up to a clear thought ".

Answer 9

The Universe just tends to create.....and never stops...and random activity is the name of the game from our understanding of it. IF this is a question of God or not...then just keep looking, the answer is in the question.

Answer 10

Mostly hydrogen.
