Speech: The Big Bang Theory How did the universe begin? How did matter come to exist? We all know that the universe exists‚ however‚ this knowledge alone has not satisfied mankind’s quest for further knowledge and understanding. Much time has been spent looking for some clues. Most of what we know is still only a speculation. The three topics I’d like to discuss are what exactly the Big Bang theory is‚ the first atoms‚ and the age of the universe. What exactly is the Big Bang theory? “Fifteen

The Andromeda galaxy‚ 2.5 million light years away. It’s racing through space‚ everything blown apart‚ like shrapnel in an explosion because our universe is expanding with an ever accelerating pace; hence every element of it is going away from its neighbors. We are seeing this galaxy as it was when our ape like ancestors first walked on the African plains. Further through space and further back in time. There is order in this chaos‚ a perfect pattern formation behind the infinite variety‚ an endless

Argument is born out of premise that the world must have a cause and a reason for existing. The word ‘cosmos’ comes the Greek word meaning concerned with cause. The argument is posteriori in its nature‚ meaning it is based on thing we experience in the universe‚ and takes a probabilistic approach to try and decipher how said evidence came to being. In this essay I will focus on arguments from Aquinas‚ Leibniz and Frederick Copleston‚ whilst also touching upon some weaker‚ not so significant arguments from

which helps to make the atmosphere of the novel very mysterious. Just when it appears that Lisa is getting better‚ another episode occurs. The story is disturbing‚ being set around Lisa’s school and home. With other characters in the story‚ such as Lisa’s parents‚ causing conflicts with Lisa receiving proper treatment‚ the story is given a disturbing yet realistic feel. 	Instead of the story being told from the main character’s point of view‚ it is instead told by one of Lisa’s three friends who

A few years ago I went to see the movie “Unbroken” with my family. It is the story of a man that was a prisoner of war in World War II. On the way home from seeing the movie I complained about how some of the disturbing imagery had made me uncomfortable and how I didn’t think I could stomach watching the movie a second time. My father’s reply to my complaints was “It is your discomfort with the movie that is the reason you should watch it everyday.” That statement has been one that has stuck

have been created by an intelligent Creator. I agree with the latter statement‚ and am writing this to articulate some of the reasons behind why I believe in God. Atheism is sometimes portrayed as being more logical than believing God created the universe‚ but I think that belief in God‚ or Theism‚ is at least equally logical‚ and perhaps more logical than Atheism. I will be presenting three arguments supporting belief in God: the Scientific Argument‚ the Moral Argument‚ and the Practical Argument

To deny the conclusion of the Cosmological argument is to accept the truth of a number of seemingly controversial empirical claims. The sceptic’s forced acceptance of these empirical claims imposes upon them a smaller set of possible worlds which are consistent with the non-existence of a God. Thus‚ in this regard the Cosmological argument remains firmly ‘alive’ as what Swinburne calls a ‘correct C-Inductive argument’‚ as it succeeds in adding to the probability of the theistic conclusion .

How did the developments in scientific thought from Copernicus to Newton create a new conception of the universe and of humanity’s place within it? The Scientific Revolution was a time of scientific questioning in which tremendous discoveries were made about the Earth. It has been referred to as “the real origin both of the modern world and the modern mentality” (Mckay‚ 596) and caused the foremost change in the world-view. This revolution occurred for many reasons. Universities were established

‘Why is there something rather than nothing?’ Assess whether the existence of the universe requires God as a first cause? The concept that there cannot be nothing and so must be something is due to the evidence we as human beings have experienced throughout our lives; every effect ever made has had a cause. Aquinas used the laws of Motion and Design to demonstrate how every action must have a correlating reaction‚ and related this to his argument for God being the first cause – the uncaused causer

Big Bang Theory It’s inevitable that with over 6 billion people here on Earth‚ there will be different views upon how our universe was created. Views are mainly fueled by faith or science but the modern view of today’s era is the Big Bang Theory. The theory states that the universe started at one single spot‚ and has been expanding ever since (Big Bang Theory‚ N.P.). Of course it’s crazy‚ and highly difficult‚ for many of us to imagine something so large starting from one tiny spot; so indeed there
