Another Creation Theory Bites the Dust

By Stephen Knapp

As a subscriber to the Vedic description of a Divinely
guided process of cosmic manifestation, I've witnessed
various creation theories that have been developed by
materialistic science come and go. There seems to be a
need amongst such scientists to develop a version of
universal creation that leaves no room or no reason for a
Supreme Creator, and thus many materialistic and even
atheistic forms of the creation story are presented. The
most recent, called the Big Bang Theory, has gained wide
acceptance by numerous scientists and scholars, but is
now also running into problems. To explain it far too
briefly, this is the theory that creation started from a
single explosion or expansion of a condensed particle of
matter, or a single kernel of energy as it has been
called, a seed, smaller than an atom. This is estimated
to have occurred around 10 to 20 billion years ago, and
this substance spread throughout the universe to form the
cosmos as we find it today.

The basis of this theory, as explained scientifically, is
that we owe the creation of the universe to the breaking
away of the absolute symmetry of the absolute emptiness
that existed before the creation began. There is a theory
called vacuum genesis, which suggests that the universe
began from a single particle arising from an absolute
vacuum. A particle so powerful that it gave raise to the
cosmic creation. Of course, a particle from nothing is
admittedly not very likely. But it is a theory that they
still work with.

The premise of the Big Bang Theory is based on the
Redshift, the evidence that the universe seems to be
expanding. This is when the wavelength of the light from
a distant celestial object shifts toward the longer
wavelength. This is figured to be caused by the Doppler
Effect that the space between the objects giving the
light is increasing, caused by an expanding universe. The
Vedic version of the universal creation is that it was
created by the guidance of the Supreme Being and, indeed,
has been steadily expanding. But this does not imply an
unnatural Big Bang from which everything appeared. The
bottom line is that the Big Bang Theory is founded on a
few assumptions that if ever negated or proven wrong will
dismiss the whole theory. And, low and behold, it seems
that after a closer look into this theory, there are some
major flaws that prevent it from being acceptable for
everyone.

Jayant Narlikar, the space scientist, has presented three
major problems found in the Big Bang Theory. One is that
the law of conservation of matter and energy is not
upheld within this theory. Secondly, this theory offers
no calculations of the early ages of the universe that
can properly deduce the temperature of the microwave
background radiation. Thirdly, though the theory may be
able to explain how such substances as helium and
deuterium were formed, there are problems in
understanding how the nuclei in such substances as
lithium, beryllium and boron were created.

Furthermore, the inflation that would have taken place
with the Big Bang makes the age of the universe
unreasonably small when compared with the estimated ages
of the galaxies or globular clusters that are in
existence. It also puts a limit on the amount of ordinary
matter in the universe, forcing some astronomers to
speculate that there must be a large amount of "dark
matter" to fill in the spaces. But such dark matter
cannot account for the observable superclusters and
galaxies, says Anthony Peratt, a physicist at Los Alamos
National Laboratory. Thus, the superclusters are not what
would be expected from the Big Bang model.

One last point is that the smooth nature of the
background microwave radiation would not be the result of
an explosive beginning, which would have produced a less
organized and more chaotic or unsmooth result.

As it stands, science still cannot answer the question
regarding what started the explosion of the Big Bang.
Where was the original substance, or particle? What
caused the creation? Even now science is still looking
for another theory that can explain how nature would have
behaved at the time of the threshold of creation under
the extreme conditions during the original explosion of
the Big Bang. How would it have happened in a way that
caused the original atoms that then changed into forms
that paved the way for all of the additional atoms to
have developed? Because of these concerns and problems,
along with others not mentioned, some scientists now feel
that the Big Bang Theory is "thoroughly unsatisfactory"
as an explanation of the universe's origin. Besides, even
if there was a Big Bang origin, where did consciousness
come from? Why would there now be a bunch of entities
running around trying to figure this out and not merely a
bunch of dust and molecules drifting through space?

For me, it is to be expected. It has been another theory
that at first is applauded as the answer to the
questions, yet with time is found to be too faulty,
typical of the ever-changing scientific process that
starts with one theory and in time gives way to something
else. It is even admitted by science that the cause of
the creation is "almost supernatural". So it is still a
mystery�why is there anything instead of nothing?

In science you cannot go outside the creation to find its
cause. However, the Vedic version does indeed take us to
the point before there was anything at all in the cosmic
creation. That is the difference. The Vedic version
points out that the cause of the creation is indeed
outside the universe, just as an architect for a building
may be living outside the building, someplace else rather
than within it. Science still owes a lot to religion.
Science still accepts that we have a "uni-verse", a
single system governed by a single set of laws. This
admittedly is based on the religious concept of one God,
one creator, and thus one system of laws, and a single
source from which everything began. That is what the
Vedant Sootr�explain, that the Absolute Truth is "He
from whom all else manifests." So to me, the faults found
within the scientific creation theories only lends
further credence to a Divine Source for the material
manifestation. It also shows that there are many answers
that can be found by researching the Vedic version of the
Divinely guided creation, as I have explained in my book,
"How the Universe was Created", to detail the Vedic
description of how it happened.

About the terrorist Goon Squad:

"Myself, Mallu. Yourself?" (V. Bhattathiri)
<KalluM...@gmail.com> tries his best to be a bully --
telling others what and when to post, where to post and
where not to post, deliberately publishing lies about
others, stalking and abusing them with hate speech -- but
fails miserably. He is really stressed out, and like his
lap dog Prem Thomas (who currently posts as "P. Rajah"
<us...@this.com>, and issues *death threats* to people),
is priming himself for conditions such as stroke and
heart disease. Others in the Goon Squad include
Dayashankar M. Joshi "DMJoshi" <jos...@gmail.com> who
displays unquestioning obedience to Goon Squad thugs, and
the instigator who posts as "Bholu" <bh...@hotmail.com

The Goon Squad currently posts most of their abuse
through eternal-september.org and by writing someone
else's name or handle in the "From:" header -- their
favorite now is "fana...@gmail.com" (note the extra "b"
and "gmail.com") to make it appear as if the posts are
from "fan...@aol.com", who has been a regular poster for
many years. -Updated on February 2, 2012-
