Big-Bang Theory

Big Bang Theory E.O. Wilson, the inventor of socio-biology, once said in an interview that the Big Bang theory is more interesting than any religious theory regarding origin of the universe. In fact the Big Bang theory is clearly mentioned in the following verse of the Quran: “Do not the disbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were one solid mass which we tore asunder, and that we have made every living thing out of water? Will they not have faith?” (21:30) The Quran is here addressing all mankind. It is speaking beyond the level of time to all unbelievers; it is telling them that there is proof of the existence of One God in the universe before their eyes. Why then do they deny it? In 1912, the American astronomer Vesto Melvin Slipher discovered from his observation of the stars from Lowell Observatory in America that some constellations were rapidly moving outwards. This theory was later confirmed by Edwin Hubble and Milton Humanson. In fact, their observations through the 100 inch telescope at Mount Wilson showed that all constellations were moving in an outward direction. The Dutch astronomer, Willemde Sitter later accumulated further evidence in support of this theory. Then in 1965, New Jersey scientists Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson discovered some radiation emitted by the explosion that marked the origin of the universe. So much evidence has accumulated in support of the Big Bang Theory that it has now come to be regarded as an established fact. This theory implies that the universe is not infinite; it has a definite beginning. It shows that we live in an expanding universe. On all sides of us constellations are careering outwards at a stupendous pace. It has been calculated that if this outward movement were to be reversed, it would take 20,000 million years for the whole strung out universe to converge into one mass. This theory has proved the existence of God from the law of nature, for only an external agent could have made a solid mass move in an outward direction at a specific time.
