It all began inside a violent, blinding explosion that threw everything into chaos. Ever since, our greatest thinkers have peered into that chaos in search of order, logic & the answers to where we began.
As earlier generations learned to decipher the cosmic clues of how we came to be, we stepped from revelation to revelation; epiphany to epiphany.
Aristotle told us the world was round. Ptolemy conceived of a system of planets, stars & sun. Copernicus placed the sun at the center of this system. Galileo confirmed it. Newton explained what held it all together. Einstein offered insight into what fueled it. Hubble proposed it started with a "Big Bang".
Our search for answers has shaped how we have evolved as thinking creatures. The Big Bang is the history of why & how we think about who & what we are.
We'll contemplate how various cultures believe the world began & how it will all end...& what comes after. & for the first time, we'll be able to see what it might have all looked like, sitting in God's front row seats.
Using unprecedented cutting edge animation, The Big Bang will recreate that amazing moment when everything started. With interviews from the world's leading physicists, engineers & historians we will employ every storytelling tool to make complex & confusing ideas clear, exciting & dramatic. Recreations, visual metaphors & first-person accounts will explain concepts like: the formation of galaxies, the existence of other dimensions & the idea of a parallel universe.
The Big Bang will pose one of history's greatest questions, Where do we begin?

Yeah maybe 'God' is pure energy which is the singularity and has 'banged' to create this universe so as to create life where there's potential to experience emotions it otherwise cannot experience. As in Quantum Physics which suggests the atom is somewhat conscoius. If this is true then it means us and all the matter in the cosmos is part of 'god' and is still connected to eachother on an energy level.
I don't think so. As most atheists, I do not rule out the existence of a god, I just have no good reason to believe in a god. But show me eg. irrefutable evidence of the existence of the christian god, and I run through the streets "repent, repent, the end is nigh", and stone some sinners on the way. My guess is, that most atheists would simply accept such findings (if irrefutable), and that most religious people would simply recect them (even if irrefutable).
I disagree. I do´nt think it would be wonderfull that someone conciously created a world of so much pain and suffering. As a god, he/she/it would not have my trust or sympathy! however, understanding how life evolved naturally, without any concious entity controlling it, makes me feel the opposite way. Because I´m lucky enough to live as a human in this time in a stable part of the world.
