Observable universe

life on a planet don’t have much in common with the components necessary for the Universe. Many Astrophysicists have accepted the fact that the values of the four fundamental forces were discovered less than 1 millionth of a second after the Big Bang. The four fundamental forces are gravity, the electromagnetic force, and the nuclear forces. If any of these forces are altered or anything happens a second off, the universe could not exist. If the ratio between the nuclear and the electromagnetic…

one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe. The first galaxies formed around 13.5 billion years ago after the big bang and the dark ages. NASA states that, “After the Big Bang, the Universe was composed of radiation and subatomic particles.” There are two theories about what happened next. The first theory is that small particles slowly team up and gradually form stars, star clusters, and eventually galaxies. The second theory states that the universe first organize as immense…

scientific community, the universe began its "life" roughly 14 billion years ago when space, time and even the atoms in our bodies formed in less than a blink of an eye. The universe expanded rapidly - from the size of a pin's head to that of the entire Solar System in less than a few seconds, and it is still growing to form the cold, dark and inhospitable vastness that we know today. Among all the…

On a day to day basis, it becomes easy to simply fall into routine and monotony like a cog in a machine. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have had opportunities in my life to reconnect with nature and rediscover the freedom and expansiveness associated with it. I must have seen the same old roads and buildings and restaurants of my medium sized suburb a thousand times in my life. However, no experiences have been more memorable and impactful than climbing Whistlers Mountain, or the…

In the mid 20-ies of the last century the American astronomer E. Hubble found that the distance between galaxies in the observable universe is continuously increasing, like galaxies diverge from each other. At Hubble and his colleagues began to form the impression that the many billions of years ago in our days talking about 15 - 20 billion of the universe matter was concentrated in a very small volume with a fantastically high density, many orders of magnitude superior to the density of matter…

The Infinite Universe Winfried Corduan argues that unless there is a God, there could not be any world. He attempts to beat this criticism by clarifying a premise and conclusion to the Cosmological Argument, using metaphysics. In this paper, I will prove this argument fails at explaining the creation of our universe. Reading through Corduan’s essay, has actualized a potential in my brain. I now truly realize that Winfried Corduan is actually an expert on the actualization of potentials. At…

Biblical Creation as a Worldview Should Biblical Creationism be presented parallel with evolution as a valid explanation of the origin of the universe? The secular system is accepting evolution as fact, when evolution is really a worldview in which one sees the facts. The argument can then be made that if one must exert faith to believe evolution, then Biblical Creationism should not be disqualified as an equal explanation. National evangelist and former atheist Kirk Cameron (2004) writes,…

The cosmological argument for God’s existence has been called the empiricists’ form of argument. This is because it starts on the basis of human encounter with the physical universe. There are forms of this argument in the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle. However, its most eloquent representation is found in the philosophy of Saint Thomas Aquinas, a Dominican priest. He was basically an Aristotelian philosopher. In his time, he argued for the existence of God not minding the existential…

was at the center of the universe. It was not until the 16th century when Nicolaus Copernicus, a mathematician, astronomer, and Catholic cleric brought the ‘heliocentric system’ to the public, starting the Copernican Revolution. Even though they had started to finally figure things out, the extent of human knowledge was very limited. To me, I think the reason that humanity is so puffed up about its existence is because we cannot comprehend the vast space that is our universe. According to Carl…

that makes sense, a theory that references events observable in nature. To develop a theory that complements nature we need to study nature and then extrapolate. The answer to how life comes into existence is not a secret and it is not a mystery. We observe life every day. Life is everywhere on this planet.…
