A ‘Big Bang’ Never Happened

The prevailing scientific belief is that the universe was created by a ‘big bang’ explosion. This is an impossibility. Big bang theory imagines that somehow the universe spontaneously created itself from nothing. This whimsical idea defies both physics and logic. Nothing cannot be the cause of something. Aristotle expressed it this way, “The notion that there could be nothing that preceded something offends reason itself.”

Contradiction in Terms: The universe is defined as everything that exists. There is nothing outside the universe that could possibly bring it into existence. Big bang theory imagines that the something which created the universe existed prior to existence.

Contradiction in Terms: Space is defined as the expanse of the universe beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. Space is in the universe; the universe is not in space. Big bang theory imagines that the something which created the universe was located somewhere before the concept of location (i.e., in space) existed.

Contradiction in Terms: Time is defined as the continuous duration of existence as seen as a series of events. Without existence and events, the concept of time has no meaning. Time is in the universe; the universe is not in time. Big bang theory imagines there was a point in time at which time began.
