undeniable evidence of the existence of a Creator and the vast knowledge of the Lord of the worlds. BIG BANG, LITTLE BANG Man has always wondered about how the universe came into being. He has always wanted an answer to this question at a rational level. In the first quarter of the 20th century, man found a rational explanation for this issue for the first time. As mentioned earlier, modern astronomical science indicates that approximately 13.8 billion years ago, there was an explosion in space. This explosion is generally called the Big Bang. It is said that following the Big Bang, the present universe gradually came into being. Be that as it may, one question remained unanswered. That was how the solar system, where the Earth is located, came into being. The solar system is exceptional in the entire universe. And then, inside our solar system, the Earth is an extraordinary planet. Astronomers have been unable to explain rationally how the special kind of solar system came about in the universe. However, some decades after discovering the Big Bang, scientists conducted particular experiments in Switzerland. During these experiments, it was discovered that a small explosion occurred in space after the ‘Big Bang.’ This was given the name ‘Little Bang’. Following this ‘Little Bang’, the solar system came into being, and, gradually, the planet called ‘Earth’ came into existence.
