Origin of the Universe - The Inflation Universe Theories
The Big Bang Theory provided an atheistic explanation for the origin of the universe, but its obvious simplicity was subject to multiple attacks. As a result, the original theory is no longer the dominant scientific explanation for the atheistic origin of the universe. While the original Big Bang Theory is now "dead," from its ashes have emerged the various Inflationary Universe Theories (IUTs). Starting with Alan Guth in the late 1990's...

 

Big Bang Theory - The Premise
The Big Bang theory is an effort to explain what happened at the very beginning of our universe. Discoveries in astronomy and physics have shown beyond a reasonable doubt that our universe did in fact have a beginning. Prior to that moment there was nothing; during and after that moment there was something: our universe. The big bang theory is an effort to explain what happened during and after that moment.

According to the standard theory, our universe sprang...

Climate change is a change in the statistical distribution of weatherover periods of timethat range from decades to millions of years. It can be a change in the average weather or a change in the distribution of weather events around an average (for example, greater or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change may be limited to a specific region, or may occur across the whole Earth.In recent usage, especially in the context of environmental policy, climate change usually refers to chang...

The Gaia hypothesis is an ecologicalhypothesisproposing that the biosphereand the physical components of the Earth(atmosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphereand lithosphere) are closely integrated to form a complex interacting systemthat maintains the climaticand biogeochemicalconditions on Earth in a preferred homeostasis. Originally proposed by James Lovelockas the earth feedback hypothesis, it was named the Gaia Hypothesis after the Greek supreme goddessof Earth.The hypothesis is frequently des...
