Unsolved Mysteries of the Universe

Although scientists are confident in the general framework of the Big Bang, many mysteries remain unsolved. One of these is the nature of the ‘dark energy’. Not only is its nature a mystery, its strength is also a mystery. Scientists believe it should be about 10120 times more powerful than it is. Yet if it was much more powerful than it actually...

Dark Matters: How Did We Get Here?

The Big Bang had to happen in a very precise way so that we could be here today. Most kinds of Big Bang would only have produced a Universe filled with clouds of hydrogen, or with black holes. Astronomers and physicists are confident that the Big Bang happened. But there are still many questions that remain unanswered - for example, questions about...

Science and Faith

For many people today, whether they’re atheists or religious believers, science is locked in conflict with faith, and believing in the Big Bang contradicts the idea that God created the Universe. The current scientific view of how the Universe began points to a definite moment of creation. Perhaps it even hints at the reality of a Creator outside...

God and the Big Bang: The Evidence

Nobel Prize-winning scientist Arno Penzias said, “Astronomy leads us to a unique event, a universe which was created out of nothing, and delicately balanced to provide exactly the conditions required to support life. In the absence of an absurdly improbable accident, the observations of modern science seem to suggest an underlying, one might say,...

God and the Big Bang: In the Beginning

Many people think that science and faith tell conflicting stories about how the universe began. But they might not be as different as you think. Scientists speak of a definite moment of creation in a vast cosmic explosion (the 'Big Bang'), which had to be carefully adjusted for human life to be possible. Far from conflicting, the scientific picture...

The Universe: A Very Unlikely Place

The world we live in is a very unlikely place. Why is that? Some claim that God is a delusion and that religious faith is the root of all evil. But a series of remarkable scientific discoveries show that the universe we live in is a very unlikely place, precisely adjusted to make our lives possible. This is the first of a six-part video series exploring...

Physics: Life on a Razor's Edge

We live on a razor's edge. The attributes that make the earth liveable are that precise. The values of some basic physical constants have been keenly adjusted to make our lives possible. Tiny changes in these values would mean we could not be here at all. Why are things so finely balanced to make possible life on a razors edge? This is the second...
