God, Man and the Universe: The Darwinian Cosmos

Louis Egbe Mbua

While Darwin cannot be credited with the Big Bang Theory or was he aware of such a concept, his "Origin of Species" has had a far reaching influence to human thought in all aspects of human observation and wonders. When I was a boy I used to wonder why the stars twinkled in the skies at night; and why this short popular school poem:

Twinkle twinkle little star,

How I wonder where you are.

It is generally accepted in human nature that curiosity is part of our trait; and then we may ask questions to find solutions to mysteries later. As a result of these mysteries, we have had to contend with fellow humans as to who has the correct answers on the origin of the universe and hence man. In the modern era, scientists and other pseudo-groups arrogating themselves the title of intellectuals, now claim that the Cosmos began by a super explosion of an infinitely dense particle, the size of a pin head; and that this explosion happened about 13.7 billion years ago.

Now, the theory goes, the entire "young" universe was full of disorganised dust and matter including "unseen" or "dark" matter; and that it took an incredibly 13.7 billion years of accidental gravitational evolution for the universe to reach its present arrangements. Meanwhile, the theory confounds critics all the more because it predicts that the earth and the moon are both 4 billion years old. On the other hand, if we examine these figures, we must reach the logical conclusion that it took at least 9 billion years, from the Big Bang Explosion, for the earth to evolve from dust and "dark" matter into its present spherical shape in time and space: meaning that the earth didn't exist for 9 billion years.

Which brings us to the question: what exactly was in existence during this 9 billion year lapse? More worryingly, it is known that the universe is arranged in Mathematical laws. Mathematics has to be done by a person for results to be manifest: as it is impossible to know the speed of light or the speed of the rotation of the earth on its axis without mathematical calculations based on universal laws. Additionally, we know that man never created Mathematics or any of the laws of nature. So who, exactly, created these physical and mathematical laws? These questions have never been answered by man.

If we examine the same theory propounded on the Sun, the lone star in our solar system, that it first appeared around 9 billion years ago; about 5 billion years after the Big Bang. Now, suppose we agree, as estimated by this theory, that there are at least 100 billion galaxies, each containing at least a 100 billion stars. This would mean that it would take up to 100 billion x 100 billion x 5 billion years for the universe to evolve by means of Darwinian natural selection and mutatative energy pulses from the Big Bang. The only logical explanation for this incredulity, is for us to conclude that all stars were created, approximately, at the same time for the Big bang theory to hold. Since the theory assumes that the universe came to being by accident, and that there is no Creator, then we must dismiss the idea that the Big Bang theory supports the synchronisation of the appearance of the stars and galaxies in the universe appearing at once.

It follows that, the universe is not 13.7 billion years old nor is it 100 billion x 100 billion x 5 billion years old. Consequently, no Big Bang occurred at all as chaos cannot result into order. The most likely and acceptable explanation is that given in the Bible: In the Beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth in six days; using water as an agent. Water is chemically composed of Oxygen, the element of life and breathing; and Hydrogen, the most abundant and fundamental element in the universe. The Energy of the Sun is produced by converting Hydrogen to Helium in a nuclear process at its core. The energy released was the original light used to energise the earth and not a Big Bang super explosion. Furthermore, no scientist or man of this day and age or of ancient of times was present, as an observer as wont of science, at this theoretical Big Bang explosion; and so the superexplosion theory must be rejected as scientifically unsound: and that it can never be proved -- time travel or not.
