How do you think the world started?

Question

The big bang?
God?
Something else?

I'm looking for alternative theories and what other people think, to enrich my beliefs and deepen my theories.

How about negative pressure or an inbalance between matter and antimatter and protons and antiprotons?

Answer 1

The negative pressure, photons, Big Bang, matter and even antimatter, all this constitutes the eye for science to see, and if you look only at the eye you never see what the eye is looking at. To try to understand what a house looks like while you are actually inside the house, gives you a little idea of its overall design, and therefore the ultimate purpose behind. Or, if you try to boil copper in a vessel that itself is made of copper the whole thing will melt into a shapeless lump. To understand what is what is old you need to let something new in the mind; the old, normal, the mundane, the regular or the ordinary in view is the main obstacle in the way of conceiving new ideas and new ways of looking at all thing.

For this very purpose, and to create shift in you mind, I give you a metaphysical concept to play with.

Imagine a solid ball, a perfect sphere, but not made of any material, but only of emptied space. What will happen if you turn this sphere inside out? Is difficult to imagine … but we can try. Slice that ball into infinite number of discs, starting from the top to the bottom; the top disc will have a radius approaching to size zero, but never actually zero, the middle of the bal will have disc with a radius the size of the radius of the sphere itself, and the very bottom of the sphere will once again have a disc like we have at the top - remember all discs are infinitely thin and therefore they are infinite in number.

Now, each disc is like a normal CD disc with thin grooves, like tracks, spiralling inwards to the centre of each disc, or the other way round. The discs we have in our examination here are grooved infinitely thinly and therefore each disc is as if it were made of a spiral of fine thread like harpoon rope on the deck of a whaling ship. If you open out all the length of each thread on each disc, you will get an infinitely long straight line for each single disc. As any length of a line or a curve always contains infinite number of points therefore from a three dimensional but limited sphere we have created imaginative stuff for three infinite dimensions.

If we continue turning the ball outwards it will, kind of, explode, will be everywhere outside, and then it will come back to assume its normal shape. If this process is repeated rapidly the ball will pulsate into being everything but not itself and itself and therefore not any thing else. This is it being in existence; everything has to be itself just in order to avoid being everything.

The ball when turned inside out will be everywhere infinitely outwardly from it initial poison in existence, not space. The ball and its metaphysically reversed reality now has three infinite dimensions, but it would not be where it was before, where there is the centre of this new creation. Now, consider this question – what would be there where previously was the normal reality of the space the size of the ball?

The answer to the best of my understanding is that the centre of this new creation will contain the intent that caused it, my intent, if I am the creator, your intent, if you are the one who conceived this concept. Everything emerges from a concept that is greater that its entire expression, and every concept have behind its conception a being greater then itself.

Answer 2

I am unable to imagine a beginning or an end to the Universe, because if there was a beginning, the question still remains what was before such a beginning....... and this question would never end unless we can assume that all of it really came from nothing...... but our mind is not tuned to comprehend this.

As a result, I come to the conclusion that it ought to be a continuum... just going on and on and the changes defining the space and time. The oscillation theory seems close enough to this kind of eternal existence where time is the key dimension and space expands and contracts alternately following the principle of density of mass, which decreases with expansion and becomes too lean to expand any more and the direction reverses to start contracting with increase in density..... once again the density increases to a limit which causes the reversal of direction to start expansion once again. Yes, this is only an idea and yet to be accepted even as a theory, but I find this more acceptable because of my premise of a continuum which alone seems credible to me.

The only other alternative could be an eternally existing God having created this Universe without any purpose... yes, I believe that if there is an omnipotent God, such an entity can not logically have any purpose, not even a will nor an intent and the creation can only be something akin to a game or pastime. Even that looks less credible to me.

Answer 3

Here is an alternative for you:

"In the beginning there was neither existence nor non- existence; there was no atmosphere, no sky, and no realm beyond the sky. What power was there? Where was that power? Who was that power? Was it finite or infinite?

There was neither death nor immortality. There was nothing to distinguish night from day. There was no wind or breath. God alone breathed by his own energy. Other than God there was nothing.
In the beginning darkness was swathed in darkness. All was liquid and formless. God was clothed in emptiness.

Then fire arose within God; and in the fire arose love. This was the seed of the soul. Sages have found this seed within their hearts; they have discovered that it is the bond between existence and non-existence.

Who really knows what happened? Who can describe it? How were things produced? Where was creation born? When the universe was created, the one became many. Who knows how this occurred?
Did creation happen at God's command, or did it happen without his command? He looks down upon creation from the highest heaven. Only he knows the answer -or perhaps he does not know."

Written 1700 B.C. Rig Veda 10:129.1-7

I do humbly say that I really don't know. Nobody knows. We are all just especulating, which makes for a good philosophical exercise nonetheless.

Answer 4

I believe that the world never started, by world I mean the universe and all that exists; it's always been and will always be. It's eternity manifesting itself in a great many ways and everything is part of that eternity; just like the scientists say: energy/matter is never created nor destroyed but is transformed from one form to another.

Picture this: If I cut down a tree and make a wooden chair out of it, I could call that the beginning of the chair which is just the already existing tree given a shape and form but most importantly, given a purpose: to sit in it. The tree is like our eternal universe and the chair is like the world as we know it. Hope it helps.

Answer 5

Religious people believe that God created the Universe. Scientists believe in the "big bang." It doesn't matter what other people believe. Some things can't be decided by taking a poll! Study science and the Bible and come to your own conclusions.

Answer 6

OCTOBER twenty third on on the present time in historic previous in 4004 B.C. the international began. it relatively is creation Day, it relatively is in accordance to bishop James Usher (1581—1656). Usher scrutinised the time scale interior the previous testomony and via careful and assiduous study, calculated that the international became into very nearly 6,000 year previous, having been created on twenty third October 4004 B.C. at 9 o’clock interior the morning. Usher’s thought grew to strengthen right into a count of primary information till interior the nineteenth century, whilst Charles Darwin postulated the thought of the survival of the fittest known because of the fact the thought of Evolution. Darwin and others reported that because of the fact the international must be proved to be over 6,000 years previous, then the Bible must be incorrect. Theologians countered asserting that because of the fact the Bible became into the word of God, it could be the best option and that hence the scientists had have been given it incorrect. whilst questioned on skeletal maintains to be of dinosaurs and different creatures, those days unearthed, the theologians retorted that those ought to have been placed there via the devil to attempt guy’s thought. The dispute between the two events reached its apogee interior the 20 th century interior the famous Scopes case the place a instructor in Tennessee became into placed on trial for defying the State’s ban on coaching the Evolutionary thought. The cynical defence lawyer scoffed at Usher’s thought using comments alongside with ‘his Bible must be extra precise than mine’ and ‘9 o’clock interior the morning. became into this jap time-honored Time or Western Time?’ interior the twenty-first century, Usher’s recommendations have collapsed and Darwin’s thought predominates. that's a case of the survival of the fittest thought.

Answer 7

It started the moment I was conceived from my imagination. There was nothing before me and probably nothing after I will die. All the things that point to existence before me is like maya that is deluding me. Weird theory? Yes, perhaps...but could you disprove it?

Answer 8

Big bang then etc etc I prefer the scientific approach

Answer 9

I believe God created the world.

Answer 10

caused by reduction in ozone in space.This was done by God.
