"The Big Beginning" is the eighth installment in the Symphony of Science music video series. It deals with the origins of our universe, covering the Big Bang theory, expansion and cooling of the universe, formation of galaxies, the interplay between matter and anti-matter, and cosmic radiation. The music video features Stephen Hawking, Richard Dawkins, Carl Sagan, Tara Shears, and Neil deGrasse Tyson. Videos sampled for this installment include Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking; God, the Universe, and Everything Else; The Universe (History Channel); NOVA ScienceNOW; interviews with Richard Dawkins and Tara Shears, and Carl Sagan's Cosmos.
The principal design for the motion graphic at the end was designed by Joe Snodgrass. Check out his record label: http://twitter.com/luxusarctica . Thanks to him!

Lyrics:
[Hawking]
We observe that distant galaxies are moving away from us
They must have been closer together in the past
It was the beginning of the universe
And of time itself
Anything that happened before the big bang
Could not affect what happened after
[Dawkins]
The poetry of the expanding universe
The poetry of the complexity of life
We're not normally equipped to understand
And science gives it to us
Science is opening your eyes
To the wonderfulness of what's there
Science is opening your eyes
To the poetry of the expanding universe
[Sagan]
The early cosmos was everywhere white hot
But then as time passed
The radiation expanded and cooled
Then little pockets of gas began to grow
Steadily brightening, we call them the galaxies
[Shears]
In the big bang we had equal amounts of matter and anti-matter
And as soon as they met each other,
They annihilated together
And this battle played out
Whilst the universe expanded
In its first minute of existence
[DeGrasse Tyson]
It's not all that hard to detect the big bang
All you need to do is change the channel
Until you come between two stations
About one percent of the snow and noise
Comes from the big bang itself
We're all eavesdropping
On the birth pangs of the cosmos

@legendary760 Science does not try to adhere to a belief, it deposits a theory and then finds the facts coming from it. It doesn't disagree with religion because it wants to, it presents the facts and if whatever religion does not agree with that fact, then it discounts the validity of that religion.
Science tries to find the truth about things, it does not have any other goal. I hope that you one day come to realise that.

That's true. It's still not fair though.

@legendary760 Thanks, that was funny to read. If you're serious, you really have some intellectual development ahead of you. Just remember to always question everything, and demand verified evidence. Never just assume, even when it comes to your god.

@onslaught147 Not Really XD there is only one god read the Christan bible before you critics. The only reason most sciences don't believe in god is because his nature interferes with there ideas

This is a testament to man's limited imagination. All creation stories from the various religions pale in comparison to true nature. The power of the gods of man seem feeble when you measure them against the massiveness that is our universe.
