SO how did the universe come into existance? Does anyone have rock-solid proof? Where did Earth come from?

Question

Where did it all begin?

LOL of course we don't know for sure, but it is nice to hear different opinions.

Answer 1

The only thing people can do to attempt an answer to this question is to research and draw conclusions from scientific, literary, and philosophical works, combine that with what we do know, and make plausible assumptions. Theoretically the Big Bang cannot be completely proven, but based upon observed evidence it does seem plausible, when you understand the atomic and nuclear worlds, and the amount of space between an electron and the nucleus, that things could have been a lot denser billions of years ago, and a cosmic force could have blown them apart. Combine nuclear physics with astrophysics, and understand the concept of a redshift in the spectrum of light, and you're well on your way.

Answer 2

Sorry my babbling goes on and on:

You ask, How did the universe come into existence? A couple of folks responded that nobody knows for sure. That's true. The Big Bang is the best bet. At the pace at which technology is speeding ahead, we're apt to know within a few thousand years. You ask, Where did Earth come from? Someone answered, "Earth is an accumulative structure of asteroidal nebula matter." Which is to say, a bit of dust, a bit of rock, a bit of gas, and other galaxy garbage that were caught between the gravitation pulls of our star, the sun, and big, fat Jupiter. The mess collected and connected, and over a helluva lot of years, in human terms but not universal ones, Earth (and Mars, Venus and Mercury) fell kicking and screaming into place. Several billion years on, primates emerged, then, not so long ago, our puling species. Nothing at all to do with the god of a Bronze Age tribe of murdering desert nomads, love. Nothing, zero, nada. Before our species goes the way of all Earth's species, that is to say, extinct, it can be hoped that we'll learn all there is to know about the origins of the universe. Meanwhile, we're stuck where we are, which is a pretty darn good reason to take better care of our pretty blue rock. We're stuck here because the distances twix Earth and the closest planet where exists some kind of life (not necessarily 'human') is so unbelieveably vast. We're stuck on a tiny, tiny spinning rock near the dark edge of a minor galaxy, one of trillions of galaxies in each of which are trillions of stars like our life-giving sun. Please accept my apology for the length here; it's easy to write 'long,' but hard dang work to write 'short.'

Answer 3

The universe came to existence in the Big Bang. There G-d started the material world: space and time; matter and energy.

Science has provided scientific rock-solid proof of the Big Bang, and the Book of Genesis (much better the original, Hebrew version) has provided mystical rock-solid proof of the Big Bang.

The Earth came from the coalescence of interestellar matter due to gravitation. At the beginning, about 4,500 million years ago, it was a ball of fire.

Where did all begin? You may read the book I put you as a source.

Answer 4

Well, forgive me for not being a scientist and describing it well. The universe that we know came into existence about 14 billion years ago during the big bang. The expansion of the universe is occurring now at an accelerating rate, rather than the decelerated rate scientists used to believe. It's also believed to be a curved universe with an infinite amount of space, or one of many universes according to the newer theories in cosmology. Stephen Hawking said that trying to know what was before the big bang is like trying to know what is north of the north pole. Some scientists have proposed that our universe is the result of a fluctuation is space-time under the right conditions. These websites better describe what I'm saying and they have pictures to make it easier to comprehend.

Answer 5

If you've got a graduate degree in physics and cosmology, if you truly understand Einstein's special relativity, if you understand differential equations and similar heavy maths there is an absolutely rock-solid proof of the Big Bang as the true origin of the universe. Unfortunately, in Christian America, those who lack the intelligence required to even understand they lack the necessary academic qualifications will vociferously deny the validity of anything which they cannot easily understand. You have three choices:

1) You could get yourself enrolled at an accredited university and take the most difficult science and math courses available and earn your PhD in cosmology. That should take about 8 years, if you're actually a genius. Then you'll need to land a post graduate fellowship which will allow you to continue your studies working under America's best and brightest. If you're really, really good, after four more years you'll be able to look at yourself in the mirror and say, "Yes, I really do understand the theory of the Big Bang."

2) You could realize that you'll never be qualified to really, really understand the theory and accept that there are thousands of other people who are fully qualified and really do understand their life's work. Then you could read a book written by one of those people, about the Big Bang, in layman's terms, and gain an understanding of the process that falls short of rock solid proof. Of course, you would have to accept that professional cosmologists really do understand their own business and that they don't tell lies in print.

3) You could listen to the least qualified among us, those whose ignorance is exceeded only by their own arrogant hubris. Such people will insist that the Big Bang is invalid because it is "only a theory" and point to a 1700 year-old work of historical fiction as the source of all real knowledge. These people believe that the imaginary deity of our ignorant ancient ancestors created the Earth is just six days and as proof they offer nothing but ancient superstitions and a mountain of meaningless misinformation.

If you really wish to understand the best available explanation for the origin of the universe and where the Earth came from, I suggest you try option number two.

Answer 6

According to the Bible God created His energy (work) from nothing. It is funny that it took all the way to Einstein to rediscover all matter is just energy (e = mc^2). He then placed it in order. It seems to be a reality in nature when one thing is created there is an opposite created also. Maybe the black holes are the 'other half'. No one knows for sure. The Bible also states that He holds everything together at the present. In science they write equations for forces but they do not understand a single force. Do not confuse an equation for the strength of a force with a knowledge of what the force really is. It also states that he stopped after he made all the energy He had made. Isn't this the conservation of energy stated a little differently. The reason I present this as proof is that advances in true science never violate the Bible even if we have not comprehended the true depth of the statement. To me this is proof.

Answer 7

If you talk with religious people they will tell you god made it,but i don't believe that because there is no proof other then the bible that some guy decided to write.I know for sure that the earth and the solar system was made by some chemical or other kind of reaction.a very popular theory is the big bang...but as all theory's it has it flaws.Most likely it was the big bang or something very close but it will be a very very long time before we get any proof of how we were created.in conclusion i suggest that you just keep thinking about how it was created.....because we might never know.

Answer 8

You want rock-solid proof of an event which took place about 13 billion years ago, and you probably can't even remember your own birth (neither can I).
sorry there are some ideas, but nothing rock solid.
As the earth is probably less than 5 billion years old you are more in luck there and I'd recommend you to start here:

Answer 9

It's complicated but here's the watered down version. Prior to the existence of our universe, there were two different universes of apposing matter that collided with one another resulting in the big bang. The collision created the matter that exists in our universe and thus our universe itself. According to All of the Major Theoretical Physicists in the world, the phenomenon we call the big bang is commonplace but we can't perceive it on our universal level. For more information, do a search on M theory.

I will ring your doorbell and run away!!!

Answer 10

The universe came from the Big Bang. This is very well established. Look it up. Everything from the expansion of the universe to the existence of cosmic background radiation supports the idea.


The Earth formed 4.5 billion years ago the same way all planets do. Bits of matter clumped together, and gravity gave it that nifty round shape.

Same for stars. Get enough matter (about 80 Jupiter masses), and you'll start to see hydrogen fusion. Poof! A star.
