What is the Big Bang Theory exactly? Yes it is a popular TV sitcom show, but it is also the theory of how the universe came to be what we think of it today.
The
theory of our existence and the existence of everything else. Alan
Guth, the first scientist to conceptualize the theory of inflation,
proposed that the universe inflated extremely rapidly from a tiny piece
of space and became very large in a fraction of a second. In recent
news, evidence supporting the big bang theory was gathered from a team
in Antarctica.
The
team BICEP2 was tasked with finding ripples in space time that could
point back to the beginning of all of time itself. The gravitational
waves squeeze the space as they travel, and produces a detectable
pattern, a pattern that has been detected.
With
the evidence backing the big bang theory, we can now view back in time
to fractions of fractions of a second after the universe was born. We
can see all past events that occurred. The new evidence also provides
the framework for other theories as well. One of the theories that might
be refined by the new evidence is string theory.

Physicists
all around were overjoyed and are naming this one of the biggest
discoveries made in the past two decades. It gives us a look into when
the universe was born. The metaphysical questions we ask ourselves every
day, because of the proof we have now of the space time gravitational
ripples, allow us to turn them into scientifically ones.
This
does not mean that the big bang theory has been proved, nor does it
dismiss the notion that a higher form of power exists, but it does mean
that the cosmic theory of inflation is one step closer to proving itself
correct, and it means that we are one step closer to understanding the
nature of our reality and existence.
I
bet some people reading this are asking why you should care about the
theory being proved. I can give you two. Imagine yourself exercising by
swimming. When your hand hits the water, you create violent ripples in
the water. Those ripples create bubbles in the water.
Why
are the bubbles important? They are important because, for the violent
gravitational waves, the birth of the universe means that the waves
could have created bubbles in the early universe, meaning that more than
one universe is in existence. We will also be able to learn how
inflation evolved, and how physics that gave rise to inflation.
The
new evidence also gives strong support to many Judeo-Christian biblical
beliefs. As you all may have read in biblical passages, if the universe
did indeed have a beginning, then by simple logic of cause and effect,
there had to be an agent that was separate from the effect that caused
it to happen.
It
gives strong evidence to the quote “In the beginning, God created the
heavens and the earth.” The challenge of bringing both physics and
belief together is the fact that this all powerful all-knowing god
reveals himself through scripture and creation, while the physics of all
of the big bang reveals itself through hard and interpreted evidence.
While
not scientific, the new evidence gives the book of genesis its
theological evidence, which for those of us that have optimism that
higher power exists, is enough. Science in this situation to Judeo
Christians, can be used to uncover the wonders that “God” himself has
created.
