Not at the present time, just like scientists haven't yet figured out why there is lightning in our skies. The idea that our Universe has been expanding at a (more or less) steady rate for the last 13.7 billion years, is just as proven as the idea that our Earth goes around our Sun. However, as Alan Guth said so well: "The Big Bang theory says nothing about what banged, why it banged, or what happened before it banged."

The beginning of the universe. the Big bang we "know" when it started (about 13.7 billion years ago see the big bang) but we have NO idea why it started. That's why people invent gods.


How do they know how small the universe was before the big bang?

We know how big it is now, we know how old it is, and we know the rate of expansion. Its like rewinding a movie that you started in the middle. We just rewind the known universe as it is now. We dont know how big it was before the big bang but we know how big it was at the initial kaboom.

What started the universe God or the Big Bang?

God! Or maybe the Big Bang! Or how about God created the universe through the Big Bang?As it stands scientifically, it seems as if the Big Bang theory best explains the creation of the universe. Although it is not perfect, and there are some observations the theory does not explain, the Big Bang theory simply explains so much so well that it will take a lot of persuading for scientists to ditch it.However the Big Bang does not eliminate God. We know the Universe began with the Big Bang but we don't know what caused it. Therefore its reasonable to believe that God caused the Universe to come into existence through the Big Bang.A fact that many people don't know: The Big Bang Theory was first proposed by a Catholic priest named Georges Lemaitre.


Scientists extrapolate backwards in time to derive?
