Cyclic Universe is a theory but to me since a very young age, the theory of a Big Bang never computed. We’re talking about theories and nobody knows for sure. In my mind (scientist’s minds too) the Cyclic Universe theory makes sense. The Big Bang theory is the favorite of Creationists and some noncreationists alike, since Edwin Hubble discovered that galaxies were running away from each other. Scientists concluded that everything started with a Big Bang. But is it that conclusive ? Well, for religionists and some scientists is a definitive answer, but is it ?

I honestly think that trying to explain where the universe came from is something we will never be able to do, we are contained within the universe and our understanding is restricted to the universe, anything else is guess work. That aside, this is the best attempt of describing where the universe came from that I could come up with: An infinite eternal unchanging nothing that has always existed and has always contained a finite but unbounded closed universe that constantly changes but is itself eternal. Doesn’t exactly roll of the tongue does it.
A few still believe it is possible it has always existed. British physicist Stephen Hawking explains why. “So long as the universe had a beginning, we could suppose it had a creator. But if the universe is really completely self-contained, having no boundary or edge, it would have neither beginning nor end: it would simply be” (A Brief History of Time, pp. 140-141).
Whom do you think are behind the Big Bang theory besides the majority of alchemist scientists ?..RELIGION…Yes, they need a beginning to prove the existence of a Creator, God, Jesus, Jehovah and a series of heathen created gods to keep the gullible going. To say that the Universe always existed destroys religion and the scam that religion has fed us thru the ages.
