Genesis?

how did the universe began?

Science pin-points it to the big bang, ultimately, which began time in the universe. From what I understand, a rapid expansion, from which shot out the worlds that would become. Then physics explains, there were stars that burned the fuel of creation. There was gravity, which might have played a role in the process. And the stars burned to breathe life to the dancing matter in space.

An even more abstract - In the beginning, there was light. And certainly nothing further we need to know, or question? We'll take a break for commercial dialogue...


A: Hallo Bravo! Good day to you. How do you do?
B: ... Good day to you, Alpha. Rise and shine, the weather is fine...

A: ... (at loss for words)
B: ...

A: Say what do you think of the TV programme just now?
B: ... Well, it was interesting. (scowl) It talked about the creation of the universe...

A: I like totally agree with the scientific explanation dude. Stephen Hawking, that guy, had it all explained in a documentary, about the nature of the big bang, you know - it's a grand shebang in science? Haha!
B: ... Yeah, that's quite true.. But I beg to differ...

A: Why? Let's hear your thoughts.
B: ... From what I know, God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh day...

A: ... (frowns and raises questioning eyebrow)
B: ... Yeah

A: ... (hesitates, and begins slowly) God said in the beginning there was light.
B: Uh-huh.

A: ... Well, I don't think that is the case. For in the beginning, there was probably darkness, before the stars came out!
B: ... (snorts) You are making an assumption of somebody turning on the room light switch while you're resting in bed in the middle of the night. That is a wholly human assumption. This is the universe we are talking about here.

A: ... Okay, okay! Then how can you be certain what darkness is if there wasn't light in the first place?
B: ... Maybe there has always been light in the universe, as far as anyone can tell.

A: ... If there wasn't light, there wouldn't be darkness.
B: ... but the converse is not true.

B: I tell you, the big-bang is way overrated.. What of the big-bang? Many compressed particles simply drifted and suddenly charge towards each other head on, with extreme impunity. Kamikaze! and BOOM!...

A: ...
B: ... Ah... my point is what gave rise to the Big-bang? There has to be a director behind this epic movie.

A: ... We refer to him as the Creator.
B: Aye, the Lord God, Kami! The creator. The Lord God made them all.

A: All creatures great and small... (completes)
B: ....

B: Hmm... The moment we come to this world, we are borned into light. The light of the sun. It says of our world, but not of the universe.
A: I'm not sure. What are the chances?

B: (frowns) In the beginning..
A: ... there was light... (finishes)

A: ... because there wasn't a need in the bible to give a damn about darkness.
B: ... Really?

A: ... Yeah, probably. God doesn't need to let us know all of his intricate thoughts, or we'll be so disturbed, we'll stray from the path and purpose he originally intended for us, for our lives.
B: ... So that is why people are so troubled when we play with our human genes...

A: ... No, that's not true. God intended to make them play with genes... We are smart, in God's image. Maybe he wanted us to become responsible and mature enough, and that it would mean no harm to his plans.
B: ... And we're just subjected to the fates and destinies of the Almighty, huh?

A: ... Yeah. Big-Big Brother is watching.
B: ...


I've gotta read Sophie's world again and find the answer to that question. It's slipping away from my memory. And sad thing is, things are preventing me from being 100% good at studying. Oh.. I want to taste the fruit of knowledge.
