Big Bang Theory - A clip from our friends at http://www.IllustraMedia.com - The Privileged Planet.

The Big Bang Theory is an effort to explain what happened at the very beginning of our universe. Discoveries in astronomy and physics have shown beyond a reasonable doubt that our universe did in fact have a beginning. Prior to that moment there was nothing; during and after that moment there was something: our universe. The big bang theory is an effort to explain what happened during and after that moment.

According to the standard theory, our universe sprang into existence as "singularity" around 13.7 billion years ago. What is a "singularity" and where does it come from? Well, to be honest, we don't know for sure. Singularities are zones which defy our current understanding of physics. They are thought to exist at the core of "black holes." Black holes are areas of intense gravitational pressure. The pressure is thought to be so intense that finite matter is actually squished into infinite density (a mathematical concept which truly boggles the mind). These zones of infinite density are called "singularities." Our universe is thought to have begun as an infinitesimally small, infinitely hot, infinitely dense, something - a singularity. Where did it come from? We don't know. Why did it appear? We don't know.

After its initial appearance, it apparently inflated (the "Big Bang"), expanded and cooled, going from very, very small and very, very hot, to the size and temperature of our current universe. It continues to expand and cool to this day and we are inside of it: incredible creatures living on a unique planet, circling a beautiful star clustered together with several hundred billion other stars in a galaxy soaring through the cosmos, all of which is inside of an expanding universe that began as an infinitesimal singularity which appeared out of nowhere for reasons unknown. This is the Big Bang Theory.

  • @MasterYoXYang if god is in any part of the universe god is the universe himself.

  • @MIGUEL2005LIMA

    I believe that the Big Bang was the Creation. I believe that science and Christianity/Judaism/(Islam?), dont contradict each other. Except for those few unproven theories such as; The Big Bang was a natural event, or Humans evolved from primates. But for the most part they dont contradict. Because science is simply understanding what God (for whatever unknown reason) didnt tell us.

    So I believe that we have a pretty good amount of scientific evidence of the Creation.

  • @MrVampireKanamesama it is round-ish, the simple answer is gravity.

    4. the big bang was not a bunch of rocks hitting each other...

    5. more on your use of the word "theory." people commonly use the word "theory" to refer to what scientists call a hypothesis. in science, there is very little difference between "theory" and "law"

  • @MrVampireKanamesama 1. a theory in science means something that is pretty well established and supported by A LOT of evidence.

    2. of course the climate is just right...otherwise we couldnt be here. there are billions of planets in our galaxy alone, and billions of galaxies in our universe. chances are, at least one of them would be able to support life. if ours wasnt, you wouldnt be here to ask why.

    3. as for your question about why the earth is so perfectly round: its not. but as for why

  • @MrVampireKanamesama hahaa! Science shows but doesn't prove? :D What does religion prove? A book written by PEOPLE? Lots of nice PICTURES? Where's the rock-solid proof of gods existence? Take me to him. Show me him in person. You can't? so sad. He never made appearances, he never talked to anyone publicly, you can NEVER see him. All you have to go on is TALKS. Science is lies? Tell that to your microwave, fridge, pc. Science brought technology, made or lives way easier, more fun. God brought war

  • @MrVampireKanamesama

    "did not tell me anything. "

    If you could be educated you wouldnt be here showing your ignorance and pleading from ignornace, you would be reading and eductaiong yourself.

    WHY ARNT YOU DOING THAT? (being an ignorant helps with the baseless belief in magic - your religion)

  • @MrVampireKanamesama

    "wow i never said it came from magic"

    That would be stupid wouldnt it!

    But thats what you believe! ( A baseless beleif)

    "science is wonderful"

    So you accept science rips your primative story book a new one?

    Think you gfot that wrong, but let me guess you wanted to

    Deny the science on the scubject.

    Then make a plead from ignornace of the magic thing from the buybull?

  • @MrVampireKanamesama Are you saying the Big Bang theory is BS?

  • @lexhus you have faith in science because even though they show interesting things they don't prove anything just blah blah blah plus scientists cant create life yet they say it came from this and that and boom. you are just a brat who sees and believes in it even though its not true how sad really...by the way you sound like a an idiot and i can tell you are a troll have fun.

  • @SlyDessertFox thats a lie 99% they have no proof and what they call proof PEOPLE believe in that bs.

  • @pobbart13 just Fyi you will never know what happened also i will give you a hint the world will be destroyed not by God but by man there will be a world war 3 soon nuclear wars will destroy this planet.

  • @MrVampireKanamesama And what the fuck does "believe in science" mean? Science SHOWS thing, you can SEE them. You dont have to believe, you SEE science. religiuos people are so fuckin stupid
