How was the universe created?

Question

I'm a christian, so fellow christians there is no need to answer this question, I already know. I'm purposing this question to anyone else that would like to answer.

Now after searching the internet up and down, trying to find some scientist to explain how the universe came into exsistance, all I found was this.

"All of our understanding of the very early universe (cosmogony) is speculative. No accelerator experiments currently probe sufficiently high energies to provide insight into this period."

So basically stating that scientist simply do not know right now. So how can you be so sure of your science if your logic is simply "faith based logic." Truth be told there is no such thing as "logic" when it comes to the unexplainable, and you have just as much "faith" in your science, as does a religous person and there God. So please.....explain.

You say "I don't know" but then act like your so sure of yourselves. Thats contradicting each other.

So I see that no one is going to truley answer the question posed to them, and is just going to attack Christians somemore. Thats pretty typical and predictable.

Answer 1

I'm not a christian so i am not included in the first statement you said, but the simple fact of the matter is there has to be a creator somewhere along the road. Yeah you could go with the big boom theory; thousands of molecules just crashing together to form the earth but they had to have come from somewhere.

Answer 2

Well, I am a commited Atheist and this question has always fascinated me. Here are my thoughts:

The observable Universe was created 13.7 billion years ago. There are only two possible explanations as to the origins:

1) That God or a Spiritual 'entity' created it literally out of nothing at all.

2) That the Big Bang was a natural phenomenon, that too sprang from literally nothing at all.

Both explanations are absolutely preposterous, yet one of these MUST be true, and the must be false. If there is one common axiom of human understanding in the world - it is this: you cannot get something from nothing. But it did happen. So...let's have a look at each explanation in turn.

1) That God or a Spiritual 'entity' created it literally out of nothing at all.

If this is the correct answer, then such a maker would have to have been a very sophisticated entity indeed to create the very complex primordial particles evident at the dawn of the Big Bang. So, we have very complex beginnings.

2) That the Big Bang was a natural phenomenon, that too sprang from literally nothing at all.

Science dictates that energy cannot spring into existence from nowhere, which is contrary to our fundamental understanding of the of the Universe. When we delve in Quatum Mechanics, we also find matter behaving in exotic and inexplicable ways. In short, there are numerous holes in our understanding of the fabric of the Universe. This may sound like an odd way of defending Scientific Theory/Knowldge, but it is important to know that matter can and does act in seemingly impossible ways. Ultimately, we are very limited in what we can reasonably comprehend living in incredibly insular conditions in one tiny fraction of the Universe.

I am not satisfied with the scientific explination of the origins of the Big Bang, but if I were to pick the option of -

1) God - incredibly complex
2) Nature - perhaps incredibly complex, perhaps not -

- then I'd be pressed to go for the latter. The reason is that in Cosmology, events occur in incremental, increasingly complex stages. For basic origins, an Atheistic start to the Cosmos is more likely.

Answer 3

Speculation consistent with all available data is infinitely more logical than speculation based on ancient mythology inconsistent with many available data.

It's true that we don't have all the details about how the universe was created. That's why we still have scientists. It isn't a fault of science that it doesn't have all the answers, because it certainly has a lot more than it did two thousand years ago.

cajungirl_2004, every time I see one of those horrible false analogies I die a little inside. Seriously, which disorderly universe are you comparing ours to? And what basis are you using for the assertion that everything that appears ordered must be the result of intelligent intervention? Because if all you have is "it's true for piles of clothes, therefore it's true for everything" then you're not going to convince anyone but yourself. Though I imagine that's probably the point, isn't it?

Answer 4

Good question. Scientists don't know, and theories as to what exactly the universe has been doing throughout its existence is speculation at this point. In high school, we were taught that a tiny ball of seemingly infinite neutron material exploded outward, creating the universe we now know, but "periodically" bounces back into a tiny ball of compact matter once the expansion becomes unstable. I forget the details.

Regardless of what scientists come up with to explain it, it can't disprove God because God exists beyond what it is physical. I was a biology major for a year and took a course in evolution. My professor commonly made a mockery of Christian beliefs... and as intelligent as he was, it was always unimpressive speculation that showed no understanding.

Just side note, Christianity is entirely logical once you understand what it's all about. Love, not law - it's what we be searchin fo'.

Answer 5

Cosmic Background Radiation, Red shifts, and the abundance of Hydrogen and Helium all suggest that the universe (as we know it) was "created" through a rapid expansion of spacetime known as the Big Bang.

That's not based on faith. The first piece of evidence can be seen by anybody with a TV. The second one requires just a telescope. The third is a little trickier. Regardless, the evidence is available to the general public. How is that faith-based?

Answer 6

God is the guy who created this universe and notice what Quran says approximately it ,Surat Al-Baqarah 2:163,164,one hundred sixty five And your god is one God. there is not any deity [worth of worship] different than Him, the definitely Merciful, the particularly Merciful. certainly, interior the introduction of the heavens and earth, and the alternation of the night and the day, and the [great] ships which sail interior the direction of the sea with that which reward human beings, and what Allah has sent down from the heavens of rain, giving existence thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and dispersing therein each and every [sort of] shifting creature, and [His] directing of the winds and the clouds controlled between the heaven and the earth are signs and indicators for a people who use reason.And [yet], between the all human beings is people who take different than Allah as equals [to Him]. They love them as they [ought to] love Allah .

Answer 7

My answers to Cow Chip II and Printninja and other ignorant atheists (they're not all ignorant, but just for the ones who are):

This is simple logic (and it is just one of many logical arguments against atheism).

The universe is orderly. Order takes intervention; it doesn't just happen.

Example...what are the chances that, when you throw up an arm-full of laundry it will land neatly folded?? What are the chances that when you throw up a deck of cards, they'll land in correct order and arranged by suit?

When the Big Bang occurred, the chance of orderliness just spontaneously occurring was infinitesimally small, while the chance of chaos was exceedingly enormous.

I recommend reading Gary Schwarts, Ph.D., M.D. He is famous for his "God Experiments" and "Afterlife Experiments"....he actually does true experiments to test for the existence of a "god" (not "god" as most Christians would think of it) and an afterlife....

Answer 8

your first 3 paragraphs seemed to be going somewhere... then you took a left turn off a cliff without a net, in which you make several unsupported claims and assumptions. You seem more interested in trying to trip people up in illogic than to glean an understanding.

In short, science is generally willing and able to say when it does not know something, or is making a vague educated guess. There is no dogma to support through right-or-wrong; pointing out actual errors or improving models and theories is also welcome - when actual evidence arises.

Right now, we have the best theories we can, based upon evidence. After a few centuries of genuine scientific inquiry, science has done better to explore questions than thousands of years of blind dogma have.

In short, no, it is not about faith, it is about inquiry. I approach spirituality the same way.

Answer 9

Personally, I am okay with saying we don't know. That does not, however, give anyone any reason to make up an explanation like God. It is the most logical approach to accept our ignorance and continue to seek new discoveries.

Answer 10

So how do you know god exists/created the universe? Because your self validating holy book says it's true?

At least science is searching for rational answers. You dullards have simply thrown up your hands and declared, "ooh, this topic is much too challenging... lets blame it on an invisible sky pixie!"

Oh, and to answer your question DIRECTLY, I suspect the universe was NOT created, but has always existed... JUST LIKE YOUR GOD.

Answer 11

well universe i am not sure though...

well to us we might be the biggest human but u nvr noe wad is other planets

humans like us are ignorant of the world ...
well i believe there are life on other planet too ...

and ther emight be something bigger...example...


the bacteria's bacteric might think they are living in a
"universe"but actually they lived on someone's hand

to us.. we might be the biggest, the "bacteria"we lived in is the universe and the "bacteria" might be living on smth bigger...


i guess it is made up of diff rocks and formed the universe and the unvierse formed the galaxy and it formed the milkyway and it formed the solar system
