How do you Believe the universe was created?

Question

No one can "know" but what is your opinion?

Answer 1

God .

Answer 2

as far as i've been told the universe was created by the big bang and all of life started, but on the other hand i was told that god created the universe so maybe god created the big bang

Answer 3

Well depends on which universe as many scientists reckon we may all be in one universe  and the big bang was created by another universe colliding with ours, who knows, there could be another earth out there

Answer 4

Yeah, Robbie was right. But his Theory on what the Big Bang is, is all wrong.

The universe was created by the Big Bang.

God said it. And BANG!!! It happened.

Answer 5

there should be nothing.

none of it makes any sense.

something created the universe.

but whatever it was, had to be created by something.  

i dont want to hear any of that 'god has always been' c**p,,, bullspit, if god created the universe, who created god??

if there is no god and the universe was created by a bunch of chemicals and rocks bumping into eachother in space,, who the funk put the chemicals and rocks there??

...i guess that didnt really answer the question, but,   ...yeah

-whatever came first, had to be put there by something,  but there should have been nothing there to put it there in the first place...AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH, my heads going to blow uuuupppppp!!!!!!!

Answer 6

Big bang theory...

Pretty much a combustion of extremely dense matter into a universe...

Answer 7

Your right, no one can know.  The only thing anyone can hang onto for closure is faith.  Faith doesn't always have to be religion based though.  It's weird to me, to hear people automatically revert to anything unexplainable answered by religion.  For example, when something can't be explained, they immediately denounce any theoretical scientific explanation but proclaim that "god" was responsible.  Since, "god" is omnipotent and all powerful, there shouldn't have to be an explanation to the reasoning.  Both theoretical science and religion are equally faith based, as any unexplained variables are assumed in some way or another.

Anyway, my thoughts is that it always existed.  Creation itself does not take any measurable time to occur.  There is no unit of measurement small enough to determine the exact moment something existed.  I don't think there is any one point of origin.  The best part about my reasoning is that I don't believe there can ever be non-existence, so there is always hope for life.

Answer 8

Yes, we can *know*, and we do *know* basically how the universe was created. And that is the big bang theory.

We can tell that the universe is expanding... we can tell this because galaxies are moving away from each other... knowing this, we can basically tell that the universe started from a singularity. This means that the universe started off with some event, and is causing the universe to expand. The big bang theory doesn't talk so much about the actual beginning of the universe as it does the evolution of the universe... how stars and galaxies have evolved over time, and how the universe is expanding, as well as how all the matter was created.

How the universe began is a known fact... it began with some event that caused the expanding of the universe, the release of all energy, and then that energy changed into matter, making all the matter we know and love today. Despite what some people seem to think, matter and energy are, in fact, interchangeable. Cool, huh? Matter can be changed into energy, visa versa.

Now, the big bang talks about how the galaxy and stars evolved, as well as how all the energy was created, and also how the universe will eventually die, or if it will die. The big bang theory is widely accepted among a HUGE majority of the scientific community.

Allen Guth, professor of physics at MIT said, "Anyone who doesn't accept the big bang theory is regarded among most of the scientific community as essentially a crackpot." I expected some more creative language, but hey, it gets the point through.

Now, what started the big bang is open for debate. I don't care so much about that. Was it the collision of strings? Was it God? Was the big bang on a cosmic time bomb? That is open for debate, I don't really care what you go into there, as long as you don't think that the universe was made 6000 years ago in 6 days.

The approximate figure for the universe's creation is around 13.7 billion years, but you could come up with any figure between 10 billion and 15 billion and you could get a some renowned astrophysicist to agree with you. As long as you don't say 6000 years!

Answer 9

god!!! duh!!!!

there is no other explanation that works right along with geographic history......

Answer 10

God is the who, not the how.  Since the time of Hubble, we've been accumulating evidence that the universe is expanding.  That means it used to be smaller than it is now.  How far back in time can we reasonably extrapolate that?  With Alan Guth's theory of inflation (for which he won the Nobel Prize), we have apparently consistent theories back to an age of the universe in the nanoseconds.  Of course, extrapolation is less trustworthy the farther you carry it.

So, science has theories and some evidence about how the universe developed over most of its 13.7 billion years of apparent existence.  But it has no idea where it all came from.  If some M-brane theory eventually turns out to be correct, and the universe was formed from intersecting branes, then where did the branes come from?

My answer, then, is that I have no clue.
