God and the Universe

DISCOVERY OF GOD The scientific discoveries of the Big Bang and the ‘Little Bang’ tell us that the creation of the universe happened through sophisticated planning. This universe did not come into existence by accident but by a purposeful plan. This indicates the existence of a conscious Planner—or, in other words, the Creator, God Almighty—behind it. The Big Bang and Little Bang events prove that this universe has a meaningful purpose and a specific destination. The universe is meaningful in the complete sense, and a meaningful universe cannot have a meaningless end. There must be some definite reason why it was brought into being. SIX BANGS At the beginning of the 20th century, it was discovered that the astronomical event known as the ‘Big Bang’ took place 13.8 billion years ago. The British scientist Fred Hoyle (d. 2001) named this phenomenon the ‘Big Bang.’ One of the events that occurred in space after the ‘Big Bang’ was the formation of the solar system. An American scientist, Alan P. Boss (b. 1951), called the event that led to the solar system’s formation the ‘Little Bang.’ This principle of nomenclature led me to consider six types of similar events that have occurred throughout history. These six events, often referred to as “bangs,” include: 1. Big Bang 2. Little Bang
