Perceptions on Creation

There is an age old debate about how the universe and consequently the Earth and human life came into existence. There are those who believe the path to life started with the perceived Big Bang Theory. This is the theory that a big explosion started the universe, which consequently created galaxies, stars and solar systems leading up to the creation of our own earth and inevitably the spark of life. This life then eventually evolved into the different flora, and fauna found on Earth today. Out of nothing something grew. No planting, no nurturing, nothing. Just all of the sudden BOOM! And the universe was created. But what caused the BOOM!

It is is not far fetched to me to think that the universe as we know it was started in this fashion, but I disagree with the nothingness aspect that goes along with this theory. For there would have to be an awful lot of coincidences for this theory to be proved a reality. (In my opinion anyway.)For example, just the right elements would have had to collide with each other at just the right rate, and in just the right way in order to have started the known universe. Not only that, but through the creative process, the right levels of the elements would have had to been dispersed at the right speeds and consistencies to have created the stars and the galaxies that resulted from this explosion. This would include our own galaxy that was somehow created from the dust and debris of this Big Boom, which also includes our own solar system and planets.

Let's think about our own planet in the scheme of the Big Boom Theory. We are just the right distance from our sun to grow and cultivate life. Our temperature is just right, all the elements needed to spark life are just right, we have just the right levels of elements in our atmosphere to nourish and assist life. That to me is an incredible amount of luck.

Think about it, everything came together in the exact amounts, speeds, and composition to enable life here on Earth. The consequences of all these properties coming together on their own without any outside influence must be staggering. I would guess you would have a better chance of winning the lottery than of waiting for natural elements to create a livable environment on their own, without the help of an outside influence.

When you think about how everything must have come together at the right time in the right amounts in order to bring forth life as we know it as well as the solar systems, galaxies, and stars
