Cosmogony - Origin of the Universe

Cosmogony Comparison. Randall Niles asks, "What Caused the Origin of Everything?" What was the Origin of the Universe? (This is a 2007 low res classic - For higher quality, please visit "Origin of the Universe" on this same YouTube channel.)

A cosmogony is a theory about the origin of the cosmos. According to mainstream scholars, the Big Bang is todays predominant cosmogony, which maintains that the cosmos was created between 13 and 20 billion years ago from the random, cosmic explosion (or expansion) of a subatomic ball that hurled space, time, matter, and energy in all directions. Everything the entire cosmos -- came from an initial speck of infinite density known as a singularity. This speck (existing outside of space and time) appeared from no where, for no reason, only to explode (start expanding) all of a sudden.

It seems that any discussion of todays Big Bang cosmogony would be incomplete without asking the question, What about God? This is because cosmogony is an area where science, philosophy, and faith have to meet. Whether random or designed, the initial creation of the cosmos was a supernatural event. That is, it took place outside of the natural realm, before the natural realm existed. The natural realm consists of matter and energy that we observe in the physical dimensions of space and time.

So, Is there anything else which exists outside of the natural realm? Is there a supernatural Architect out there? If we know that our cosmos had a beginning, was God the First Cause?

The opening of the ancient scriptures declares: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. • In the beginning [time]; • God created [The Hebrew word is bara, which means created from nothing] • the heavens [space] • and the earth [matter]

What an awesome and revealing opening line to the biblical texts. Its identical to current mainstream cosmogony, except for the God part In the beginning, all time, space and matter came into existence, from nothing, all of a sudden, for no apparent reason.

Drdirs, what about the second law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy (total disorder) increases with time? Of course, we can extrapolate back and find that at one point the total entropy must have been 0 (maximum order) and so the Universe definitely had a finite beginning. Thoughts?

thanks for your videos.

could you explain the reason which God created this world ?

[reflect7]

I can't, but the Bible says that God created the cosmos for his glory and humankind for relationship.

[crexy101]

Which ever way you look at it something got created out of nothing. Either the universe just 'happened' or God created it,,, but what created God??

[reflect7]

I just posted a new video on this, "Who Created God?" Check it out. Just type "Who Created God Randall Niles" into the search tool above. I'd love to read your response. Thanks.

But when the Sun expands in the future, the earth will no longer be in its present 'Goldilocks zone'. The fact that life evolved here, where the conditions for life have happened to be right for a limited window of time, is not of itself evidence of intelligence.

What seems obvious to you isn't necessarily the case, and saying 'we all know everything seems to have a purpose' isn't true. I for one do not think everything seems to have a purpose. You're assuming, not investigating.

JonathanMcLatchie, on what do you base your assertion that 'evolutionists can only do science if they are inconsistent'?

And on what do you base your assertion that uniformity in nature only makes sense within a biblical worldview? I do not accept the bible and yet uniformity in nature makes sense to me. And would not so-called 'miracles' be considered, by definition, inconsistent with natural uniformity?

The biblical worldview is anathema to science. Science certainly does not borrow from it.

glacial cosmogony is a very good theory. look for it...

[nyancyplusmarven]

you said "everyone agrees" that the universe had a beginning, but i dont. interesting video

[TheLivirus]

I'm sorry but I find this rather rediculous. All you do is to carefully choosing your words as to make the god-option sound more appealing, which doesn't make it even a tiny bit more likely. Reality is what it is.

[TheLivirus]

@reflect7 So god was suffering from loneliness, so he created mankind to keep him company? If I were him I'd create other divinities to keep me company instead. He'd probably find such relationships more challanging. But judging from his fixation with himself as the ONLY GOD, appearently he got some form of superiority complex. I guess he finds it comforting to look down on mankind rather than having relationships with divinities on his own level.

only consiousness create reasons, accidents dont :-)

[whey80]

Only reason can create itself.

"It either popped out of nowhere..."

The Big Bang in no way infers that something came out of nowhere. Rather, the Big Bang was the rapid expansion of something that already existed. This guy doesn't know what he's talking about.

So, life had to happenb. it'sthe law ofaverages. it is not a miracle, because a miracle DEFIES Probability, Life, by the law f probability, had to happen on at least one planet.

[skyedude0709]

People saay-how can the miracle of life happen w/ out god?

I say- how can it not?

There are billions of trillions of planets out there, around trillions of suns, and EACH ONE has the chance for it to happen. There probably are other plaets, too, with life.

And to you christians- the bible DOES NOT extinguish the chance of life in other planets, what the Vatican is calling "Our Extraterrestrial Brothers."

"Does god really exist?" Of course not. Grow up.
