There is a fruitless conflict between science and religion.
I have a deep passion for mythology and creation stories. In early times,
people used the limited resources available to them to try to answer some
questions. These fundamental questions have been pondered by mankind for
centuries: How did this world originate? What is our origin? What lies beyond
death? What is the meaning of our existence?
Finding answers to these questions was impossible when
scientific and technological capabilities were limited. Nevertheless, a common
narrative was needed for the progress of societies. In the absence of
scientific explanations, humans relied on religion and mythology to provide
answers to these fundamental questions. However, as science progressed, we
began to uncover more definitive answers to our fundamental questions.
Religious teachings offer inaccurate explanations. Scientific discoveries
provide us with alternative perspectives.
The universe began to expand from an infinitely small point
13.8 billion years ago. The Big Bang, often misconstrued as an explosion, was
not a fiery blast like an atomic bomb. Instead, it was an event marked by an
incredibly rapid expansion of the universe, occurring at speeds faster than the
speed of light. Labelling the event as the 'Big Bang' has undoubtedly enhanced
its public recognition.
This expansion triggered the formation of quantum fields,
accompanied by the generation of virtual quantum fluctuations. These
fluctuations facilitated the creation of real quarks, which ultimately led to
the formation of subatomic particles and atoms. This provides a brief overview
of the events that unfolded during the universe's early phases.
Through the aggregation of atoms, gas and gas clouds were
formed. These gas clouds gradually started merging at a single location. Due to
the influence of gravity, objects that gathered more gas continued to expand in
size.
There are certainly aspects of the Big Bang theory that we
don't fully understand or that are still incomplete. But that's the beauty of
science - it's a process of continuous progress and open to falsification.
As our knowledge expands and technology advances, the Big
Bang theory is becoming increasingly clear. In 1929, Edwin Hubble used his
telescope to make the groundbreaking discovery that the universe is expanding.
This led to the hypothesis that if the universe is continuously expanding, it
must have originated from a single point.
Indeed, all scientific advancements indicate that the
universe originated from a single point and has been expanding at an
accelerating rate, much like a raisin bread inflating. The intriguing question
that remains is: what is the universe expanding into?
The question of what lies beyond our universe remains a
mystery. Scientists have proposed the possibility of a higher-dimensional space
that encompasses our universe.
There are many questions that We’re eager to find answers
to, and with time, we'll gain a better understanding of these mysteries. For
instance, our knowledge of dark matter and dark energy remains limited.
