how was the universe created?

Answer 1

maybe this is all a dream

Answer 2

“You said that you would tell me how life was created”
asserted Ken and Macao answered. “Countless years ago particles
of dust and vapor collided. These particles in turn were
made up of atoms. During the collision the nature of some of
the atoms was altered creating one of the four fundamental
forces in this instance that of electromagnetism.” “But where
did these particles come from?” “You must accept that they
were there. For unless there was something, nothing could exist.
Matter exists in the form of atoms the different combination of
the atoms defines the form the matter will take. For example a
molecule of water consists of two atoms of hydrogen and one of
oxygen, depending on the temperature this substance could be
solid liquid or a vapor. But unless there is a change in the structure
it will remain water and continue to exist. However if there
were no oxygen or hydrogen there could never be water. In turn
if there was no water you could not exist on earth, as large part
of your physical body consists of water.”
A thought struck Ken which could not wait. “Where was
God whilst this was happening? did he have some part in what
had occurred?” “At that time there was no God.”
123 Wheel of Eternity
To Ken this seemed unreal for he had always believed that
God existed and Pon had confirmed this was so. He did not
think that God had created the universe but he had always
thought he was there. Macao had just stated that. “Everything
can only exist from something. Ken was still uncertain and
asked. “I must accept that these atoms existed without knowing
how they were created?” “Nothing can be created unless there is
something there. To say that a God created the universe is fine,
but where did God come from? There must have been something
there or there would be nothing. The universe consists of
matter in different forms, but the basis of the matter is the
same. If there were no matter there would be nothing and there
could never be anything. There is also non-matter but even
non-matter, which we will come to, could not exist without the
atoms that matter consists of.

Answer 3

The answer is still unknown. Besides the simple answer you give to children (God created it), you also have the Big Bang theory which is STILL a theory. There's evidence to support it, but there's also contradictory evidence you don't hear much about.

I suspect they will find some day that the universe was created by a series of big bangs. We still have the problem of finding out where the matter and energy came from in the beginning. Answer will probably be God.

Answer 4

No one knows for sure but unfortuatley we may never know. Most scientists think it was the big bang. "The Big Bang is the cosmological model of the universe whose primary assertion is that the universe has expanded into its current state from a primordial condition of enormous density and temperature. The term is also used in a narrower sense to describe the fundamental "fireball" that erupted at or close to an initial time-point in the history of our observed spacetime.

Theoretical support for the Big Bang comes from mathematical models, called Friedmann models. These models show that a Big Bang is consistent with general relativity and with the cosmological principle, which states that the properties of the universe should be independent of position or orientation.

Observational evidence for the Big Bang includes the analysis of the spectrum of light from galaxies, which reveal a shift towards longer wavelengths proportional to each galaxy's distance in a relationship described by Hubble's law. Combined with the evidence that observers located anywhere in the universe make similar observations (the Copernican principle), this suggests that space itself is expanding. The next most important observational evidence was the discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation in 1964. This had been predicted as a relic from when hot ionized plasma of the early universe first cooled sufficiently to form neutral hydrogen and allow space to become transparent to light, and its discovery led to general acceptance among physicists that the Big Bang is the best model for the origin and evolution of the universe. A third important line of evidence is the relative proportion of light elements in the universe, which is a close match to predictions for the formation of light elements in the first minutes of the universe, according to Big Bang nucleosynthesis."

Answer 5

Answering your question from another perspective - hope it helps:

EITHER you have to accept a first event, which, therefore cannot have a cause (or it wouldn't be the first event).

OR you have to assume that you can go back infinitely in time, and "first" has no meaning;

OR you have to rethink what time itself means.

None of these options is particularly intuitive, but you have to choose one.

If you choose “God”, then instead of “how was the universe created?”, you have to ask “how was God created?”, which is exactly the same question, just with “the universe” renamed as “God”.

Answer 6

Its just always been here. dont think about its creation. How can something create this. Apparently according to faiths and science there was an incident, caused by and incident, caused by an incident caused by God.

However, my view is that the Universe was never created. Its best not to think about it. i get freaked out that every star is the size of our sun. That space is endless. We thought the world was big but you try exploring the universe and your head will explode.

Answer 7

The scientific theory which describes the origin and evolution of the universe is Big Bang cosmology, which describes the expansion of space from an extremely hot and dense state of unknown characteristics. The universe underwent a rapid period of cosmic inflation that flattened out nearly all initial irregularities in the energy density; thereafter the universe expanded and became steadily cooler and less dense.

Answer 8

Verrrry carefully!

SERIOUSLY THOUGH: That's what people have been trying to figure out since they could think about it.

One idea is that the universe has always been, and that the Big Bang (or as Western Religions put it, "Creation") is only a near-sighted look at something MUCH larger.

Imagine that if black holes and supernovas are everywhere "out there" then there is matter coming into manifestations in a semi-perfect harmony with the stuff that's disappearing back into "nothingness". And on and on and on like that.

A "Matter/Energy Fountain" here, a "Matter/Energy Drain" there. From nothingness back into nothingness...with us along for the super-short ride on this tiny micro-spec of a planet in the sun (one of billions of suns...)

Mind boggling.

Don't think about it too much - instead see how you can learn to love yourself and others better. Much more pactical knowledge there, I assure you.

Answer 9

let me start off by saying no one can know for sure. but this is the most popular idea.

at the instant the universe started there was no matter, space, or time. there was just a tiny ball of energy the size of an atom. for some unknown reason it exploded and created space and time. that energy later cooled and formed matter (mostly hydrogen). the hydrogen formed clouds of gas which formed stars and eventually galaxies.

the person that said there was a star is wrong...no star... only energy...

and i like the dude that said it was trillions of chemical reations. the formation of atoms wasnt chance, it was the only thing that couldve happened. and because of that stars and planets formed. and yea life is rare. but given the right conditions it will always form. thats why life is so rare. you only think its amazing because your among the relatively few living beings in the universe.

Answer 10

To be honest with you I'm not sure. I don't really buy the big bang theory.
I believe there was A big bang that created our known universe, but not THE big bang. I think our Universe is many times bigger than we currently think it is.

Answer 11

The big Bang-
Sometime, more than a billion years ago, a giant star went supernova, which is science for 'it exploded'.
The remnants from this explosion spread everywhere, forming a vastly, mind-bogglingly huge universe that humans cannot even grasp at the size.
There you go! Science simplified!
