What Is the Prevailing Evolutionary Theory for the Origin of the Universe?
I would also like to know your views on the “Gap Theory.” The prevailing theory for the origin of the universe is the Big Bang Theory which suggests that the universe began as a particle that was infinitely dense and occupied no space. This particle came into existence essentially from nothing (actually a quantum fluctuation from nothing to something), immediately exploded, thus beginning a process that led to the universe as we see it today. This happened approximately 12-13 billion years ago. Astronomers, cosmologists, and astrophysicists alike will admit they have a problem accounting for the origin of the initial particle. How does something come from nothing? The quantum fluctuation idea is a dead end since quantum physics is a property of the current universe. If there was no universe prior to the existence of the particle, how do we know that a quantum fluctuation was even possible? You must have a universe first! In addition, the mechanistic process following the explosion that
