Evidence of Creation of the Universe from Nothing

First Evidence universe to have a beginning – 2nd law of Thermodynamics

• By 1850, the 2nd law of thermodynamics was understood – all energy systems decay.
• If the universe was eternal, it would have already decayed and therefore cannot be eternal.

Theory of General Relativity

• Einstein’s equations from the Theory of General Relativity (1917) indicated the universe was either expanding or contracting – but not static.  General Relativity makes many other predications which have all been confirmed as true such as gravity is actually the bending of space-time, change in rate of time with altitude/speed, orbit of planet Mercury, black holes, and gravity waves. etc. 

Primeval Atom Theory

• Lemaitre in 1927 argued universe was expanding and in 1931 he proposed it had originated from a primeval atom or singularity. 

• He calculated that there would still be a heat signature or radiation level that could be detected with the right instruments – called the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation

Expansion of Universe Verified

• The astronomer Edwin Hubble (space telescope) discovered the universe is indeed expanding in 1929 – Red shift.  Expansion of Space-Time, not just the movement of galaxies within Space-Time

CMB Discovered

• The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation that Lemaitre predicted was discovered in 1963 by scientists working for Bell labs. This confirmed the Cosmic Creation Event/Big Bang. The CCE is an expansion (like a balloon being filled with air), not an explosion.
