The origin of the Universe has always been a debatable topic for many since there are still moments that require clarification. According to numerous sources and researchers, the Big Bang theory is the most reliable theory of origin, and it is corroborated by solid evidence. For example, there is a constant expansion of space and its bodies. Furthermore, the cosmic microwave background supports the Big Bang theory and states that with the help of this background, it becomes possible to see the past via the speed of light (Agrawal, 2021). Lastly, the presence of elements of all sizes indicates an explosion that resulted in macro and microbodies. Nevertheless, the theory violates several of the present laws established in science. For example, it does not comply with the first law of thermodynamics, which states that neither substance nor energy can be created nor destroyed (Agrawal, 2021). Additionally, the creation of stars and galaxies, according to some skeptics, defies the rule that states that structures of change grow less ordered with time (Agrawal, 2021). Lastly, the big bang theory is criticized for implying that the Universe was created from nothing.
Still, it is essential to analyze the theory of creation, which bases its views on the Scripture as its only source of authority. There is a particular argument for the support of the creation theory. For example, certain researchers contend that the world already possesses the qualities necessary to support life, and the Bible agrees (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, 2018). Furthermore, the Bible accentuates that everything created took time and was not established within a short period. Lastly, Bible emphasizes the creation of light as the first element, supported by the research. However, the theory of creation has shortcomings as well, such as the emphasis on the fact that everything was created within a week when in reality, it took billions of years. Furthermore, the Scripture says there is a genesis, but scientific science argues that the Universe is everlasting. Lastly, the Bible claims that the Universe was created out of void and emptiness, and yet particles and various elements that exist nowadays are the evidence against such a view. Thus, both the Big Bang Theory and the Creation theory have various support and points that make them less credible.
