Big bang.
In your kitchen cabinet, you've probably got a spray bottle with an adjustable nozzle. If you twist the nozzle one way, it sprays a fine mist into the air. You twist the nozzle the other way, it squirts a jet of water in a straight line. You turn that nozzle to the exact position you want so you can wash a mirror, clean up a spill, or whatever.
If the universe had expanded a little faster, the matter would have sprayed out into space like fine mist from a water bottle - so fast that a gazillion particles of dust would speed into infinity and never even form a single star.
If the universe had expanded just a little slower, the material would have dribbled out like big drops of water, then collapsed back where it came from by the force of gravity.
A little too fast, and you get a meaningless spray of fine dust. A little too slow, and the whole universe collapses back into one big black hole. The surprising thing is just how narrow the difference is. To strike the perfect balance between too fast and too slow, the force, something that physicists call "the Dark Energy Term" had to be accurate to one part in ten with 120 zeros.
If you wrote this as a decimal, the number would look like this:
0.000000000000000000000000000000
00000000000000000000000000000000
00000000000000000000000000000000
0000000000000000000000000000001
In their paper "Disturbing Implications of a Cosmological Constant" two atheist scientists
from Stanford University stated that the existence of this dark energy term "Would have required a miracle... An external agent, external to space and time, intervened in cosmic history for reasons of its own."
Just for comparison, the best human engineering example is the Gravity Wave Telescope, which was built with a precision of 23 zeros. The Designer, the 'external agent' that caused our universe must possess an intellect, knowledge, creativity and power trillions and trillions of times greater than we humans have.
Absolutely amazing.
Now a person who doesn't believe in God has to find some way to explain this. One of the more common explanations seems to be "There was an infinite number of universes, so it was inevitable that things would have turned out right in at least one of them."
The "infinite universes" theory is truly an amazing theory. Just think about it, if there is an infinite number of universes, then absolutely everything is not only possible...It's actually happened!
It means that somewhere, in some dimension, there is a universe where the Chicago Cubs won the World Series last year. There's a universe where Jimmy Hoffa doesn't get cement shoes; instead he marries Joan Rivers and becomes President of the United States. There's even a universe where Elvis kicks his drug habit and still resides at Graceland and sings at concerts. Imagine the possiblities!
I might sound like I'm joking, but actually I'm dead serious. TO BELIEVE AN INFINITE NUMBER OF UNIVERSES MADE LIFE POSSIBLE BY RANDOM CHANCE IS TO BELIEVE EVERYTHING ELSE I JUST SAID, TOO.
Some people believe in God with a capital G.
And some folks believe in Chance with a Capital C.

It wasn't created, it formed from the quick improve of the universe in a singularity. that's impossible to assert if it existed earlier than the quick improve. in spite of the particular indisputable fact that that's right to assert that count number and capability are neither created nor destroyed, in common terms switched over, the Universe want no longer have existed earlier than the upward push simply by fact gravity is very such as damaging capability, as such, with the gravity from count number offsetting the full capability, the internet capability of the Universe is 0. In different words, including each and every thing on the effective factor and damaging factor provides to 0. that's as though we are no longer right here and on a internet foundation, we are no longer. Atheist.

The creation of the universe. Well, some how, some way, it happened. BOTH science AND religion are among the ways attempting to define and/or describe an event that NONE of us witnessed.
The origin of the universe was so very long ago...and so very far away...does it REALLY matter?
I mean, seriously, shouldn't we be focused on the IMPORTANT things in life? Shouldn't we be focused on our eternal souls?
Just asking.
btw: I'm Christian. I'm a mathematician/scientist. I believe in the "big bang". I believe in God's hand in creation. Not everything has to be "black and white" and is very often mixtures.
Just a thought.

Since neither side can be proven scientifically, the choice is up to you.
But if it were the Big Bang, and not Creation, then where did the elements come from to cause the big bang in the first place?
And if we evolved from monkeys, exactly at which point did we get our souls?
And if the Origin of the Species is correct, then why did Darwin contradict himself when he said: "To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree"?
After all, for an eye to evolve, (1) something must have told it there was something to see and (2) that something must have told it that the changes the eye was making to itself in order to eventually see this something were correct.
That means that something must have already existed with the ability to see the something the eye was evolving to see or it could not tell the eye that it's evolution was advancing properly.
What was that something, God?

Look at something about science real close.
A hot topic of today is Global Warming.
According to global warming science... nothing will be alive in 30 to 40 years.
Now go back and look at their temperature charts for a million years ago. Their charts show things worse then than now.
How did anything survive then
It didn't... It didn't exist. The earth was without form and void just like Mars and Venus.
God created everything and set the temperature for everything to survive.
look at the charts for the last 6000 years the temp is livable then just like God created it to be

The newest physics does a wonderful job of explaining what happened to create our universe. One of many, that are continually being formed and destroyed. Think of waves on a beach or a bunch of soap bubbles. They are not all in the same plane and the physics are different, so when two universes interact there is profound changes, including singularities like the one we call the "big bang"

Firstly, you must understand that all this is was created out of nothing.
All that is was spoken into existence.
God begat his Son the Word in the beginning, even before the creation of the heavens and earth. And by the Word and through the Word, all of creation came into being through the ministry of God's Holy Spirit.
God is the author of all things, including science. And his speaking all of creation into existence is a science we as mortals cannot comprehend.

Neither. It was a natural process. Science is the study of things but it isn't what created the universe.

The universe wasn't created. And even if it was created the Christian God didn't do it.

Sure as the Universe was being created someone was sitting back with a pen and paper writing it all down just like the Bible says.
