Big Bang Theory-According to the standard theory, our universe sprang into existence as "singularity" around 13.7 billion years ago.

Answer 8

There are at least 140 major "theories" about the origin of the world, and many more minor ones.

Here is one: water was the womb for a small seed planted by Brahma, the Hindu Trimurty, or trinity, god considered the Creator. Before he existed as Brahma, he was a Divine Being.

The seed grew into an egg, which the Divine One resided in for a year. He cracked it open and emerged as Brahma. From the egg's remains, he produced Heaven and Earth. Heaven was one half while Earth and its beings were the other half. Brahma himself gave beings the mind and the five senses.
