Big Bang Theory and me!

I happen to read about the Big Bang Theory today and it was as if I was hit by a megaton bomb! My head was reeling and I had so many questions that begged answers. How is it that human beings are able to ascertain the time the Big Bang happened as 13.7 billion years ago? How is it even possible to go that far in time and space, not withstanding, Doppler effect and red-shift and so on? Even more amazing is the finding by the Astrophysicists that time and space started exactly at that time when Big Bang occurred. It has even been discerned that 3,80,000 years after the big bang, light was released from the plasma of the expanding universe!  As the Universe expanded, so also progressed the formation of life and evolution of it from smaller to the higher life forms. Wow!

And to find order in our universe and to discover that simple laws hold together all the galaxies, stars, planets and their moons, is even more amazing. Man seems to have come thus far, so close to finding answers to eternal questions, yet he is not able to progress further. He is not able to answer the questions such a quest throws about. What is the meaning of this universe? How did it come about? Was it created or did it happen on its own? If created, then who created it? If it happened on its own, how did it happen? It is said that if there is even a slightest variation in any of the rules or forces that keep the universe together, it will shatter to smithereens and cannot sustain life on it anymore. Who made such a fine tuned universe? Can it happen on its own? Can it be the product of an accident? Or is it a well thought out design by a Great Power, a Great Designer, an Unmoved Mover, a Creator, God? 

Amazing! The physicists having come thus far, are not able to explain the dark matter from which 90% of gravity seem to come; they are not able to fathom the dark energy, which seem to be keeping the universe ever expanding and finally no one seems capable of explaining why such a universe came about? Can man reach God and know His mind? Ah, but He reveals Himself and then such a Revelation could offer us glimpses of the whole pattern and design of this universe and the rationale behind it all. Genesis 1:1,3 of the Bible says, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth...And God said, 'Let there be light;' and there was light," and so on. There lies the explanation and answer to all the questions that have plagued humanity ever since the beginning. 

Will man listen and understand?
