The concept of the Big Bang is based on the mindset that the universe is purely a physical1 phenomenon, as was explained in my blog of November 9th, 2014. Whether correct or otherwise, the Big Bang theory sets the agenda for the scientific understanding of life, which is as follows:
Life emerged from non-life about 3.7 billion years ago Life evolved, and continues to evolve, based on mutation, natural selection, and time All mutations are by chance.

The language of physics is mathematics, which can only describe the physical universe1. In other words, mathematics must have something (some ‘thing’) to describe – a particle, a wave, a vibration, a string, a membrane etc. Einstein once said: “So far as the theories of mathematics are about reality, they are not certain; so far as they are certain, they are not about reality.”
Mathematics, therefore, cannot describe the non-physical2 or pre-particle state – and logically there must be a pre-particle…..
In 1931, Monseigneur Georges Lemaître proposed in his hypothèse de l’atome primitif (hypothesis of the primeval atom) that the universe began with the ‘explosion’ of the ‘primeval atom’. It was Fred Hoyle, one of the architects of the steady state theory, who coined the name of Lemaître’s theory, referring to it as ‘this big bang idea’ in a radio interview in March 1949.
Many of our greatest scientific minds now believe that all matter, energy and space in the universe was…..
The universe is everything that exists physically, the entirety of space and time, all forms of matter, energy, and momentum, and the physical laws and constants that govern them. The age of the universe is believed to be approximately 13.7 billion years, and scientists estimate that the diameter of the observable universe is at least 93 billion light years.
The Earth is part of the solar system. The solar system exists in the Milky Way galaxy. The sun is one of the stars in the…..
