Except the big bang and the 'steady state' theory, what other theories are there for the orgin of the universe

Answer 1

The "Big Bang" theory is not only the most accepted theory as to the origins of the universe, it is also the most scientifically credible explanation. Using advanced millimetric extragalactic radiation measurements, scientists have been able to take snapshots of the universe during its infancy, roughly 15 billion years ago.

I don't see how creation can be considered a scientific theory, since it cannot be empirically tested using scientific methods. Those kinds of discussions belong on a religious/philosophical board.

Answer 2

Origin? I'm not even sure real scientists have touched on that yet, even when it comes to the Big Bang. They're still trying to work out the Grand Unification Theory, which is thought to be the key to knowing why the Bang happened and how the first stars and galaxies began to form. Many scientists feel that once we understand why the Bang occurred, it will facilitate the knowledge of where the thing came from to begin with.

So to be sure, the big bang doesn't discuss the origin of the universe in that context.

There is the creation theory, which cannot be tested and doesn't support itself scientifically with empirical evidence.

There is also the Magic Pixie Dust theory, which state that Magic Pixie Dust created Magic Pixie Dust, and that was sprinkled generously throughout the universe. The Magic Pixie Dust, being all-powerful, turned itself into all of the various atoms and bits and pieces that we know of. Stars are "Pixie Parties," and planets guard the doors so no unknown pixies can get in without permission. Humans were sprouted from the ashes of the dead Titans after Zeus slayed the last one. We are merely pawns in a large game of Interstellar Pixie Dust.

Yeah... Pixie Dust. Can you disprove it?

Answer 3

We have the Tidal Theory, wherein a passing star drew a long,cigar-shaped filament from the sun. Then that filament, as time went by, condensed and became the planets of the solar system.

Aside from that, the Nebular Theory, wherein there was only a thick cloud of swirling dust and gas (the nebula), then from that dust and gas the sun was formed, and the sun was said to rotate so rapidly that it threw off some materials that moved outward, those materials, which was cooled and condensed, formed the planets.

Answer 4

Creation.
It's the theory that fits the evidence best too.

There is also a plasma theory.

Creation is rejected by many for philosophical reasons - not for scientific reasons.

All ideas about the past are philosphical ideas in the sense that none can be proved. Noone was there to observe and we cannot repeat the experiment.

Actually there was one observer, and He has given us his eye-witness account in Genesis.
