In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
My first thoughts as well…
The idea of all the matter in the universe being compressed to a singularity that somehow did not collapse into a black hole from which no matter could escape was always completely unscientific. It’s merely a religious creation myth dressed up in scientific language.
God spoke and it was.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
This the first time in 20+ years on FR that I would have preferred a 200 word excerpt...(sarc/off)
“a singularity”
That is a mathematical concept, not a physical one.
Before that discovery, atheists pushed the Oscillating Universe theory that, with a veritable infinite big bangs always creating the universe, no Creator is needed to make the laws of physical science just right. Thus, the expectation from the Hubble Telescope's observation about the expansion of the universe was that the expansion is currently slowing down, to one day contract back to a single point and repeat the big bang again. But that's not what was found.
Us Christians can say that the big bang looks like a one-time event and, thus, had to be set up just right by a Creator for all the properties we count on being just right. I.e. if any one of the universal constants were off just a wee bit there'd be no molecular bonding capable of supporting life.
Stan Lee and Jack Kirby knew this decades ago. That was the universe that Galactus came from.
“and there was light.”
What was the light?
If I could save time in a bottle...
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day 'til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
The idea of all the matter in the universe being compressed to a singularity that somehow did not collapse into a black hole from which no matter could escape was always completely ABSURD........
Just ask the nearest cosmologist what happened 1 minute or 1 second BEFORE the so called ‘Big Bang’. They have no answer.
They have all kinds of ‘answers’ for what happened every nanosecond AFTER the Big Bang, but absolutely NONE for BEFORE................................
Inflation is bad. We need to stomp out inflation.
LOL! My brother read my Hitchhiker's Guide books. Came out of the house and asked me, "What kind of drugs was that guy on?"

Photonic energy or a form of electromagnetic radiation is you prefer.
