EXPLAIN

Use the table below to compare the different theories that explain the origin of the universe. You may

Which of the different theories and hypothesis of the origin of the universe do you think is the most
plausible? How about the origin of the Solar System?
The Creationist theory, the Jupiter’s Grand tack and The Big Bang Theory these three in the most
plausible and worth believing. It is plausible too because of the relatedness to the Big Bang theory in
which between bodies have occurred continually up to the present day and have been central to the
evolution of the Solar System.

Which is better - empirical explanation of the origin of the universe and solar system or faith-based
teaching?
I think it will be better if both if you’re a Christian and faithful on how the universe was created then it
is good but we cannot deny the scientific based researches and studies. It is like we are gaining more
knowledge on both sides where we can get scientific explanations while understanding the faith-
based teaching. There is no need for us to argue but to respect on what we believe in.
