Origin of the Universe

Cosmology – is the study of the universe, including

the properties, structure, and evolution.

The Universe began 10-15 billion years ago, when

a primordial explosion called the Big Bang
occurred.

According to Big Bang Theory, all of the energy

and matter of the universe were compressed into a
hot and dense state.

Edwin P. Hubble- an American astronomer who

showed that the universe is expanding.

Creationist Theory – states that God, the Supreme

being created the whole universe out of nothing.
The proof can be read in the Holy Bible stipulating
that God created Heavens and the earth including
man.

Oscillating Universe Theory – was proposed by a

Russian- born US cosmologist George Gamow
who help explain the Big Bang Theory. He said
that the expansion of the universe will eventually
come to a halt then it collapses up to the time that
the universe will return to its original form and
another Big Bang will occur. This process will
happen as a cycle.
