Creation from nothing.
What does the creation from nothing mean? The scientific data concerning the universe of spacetime (our universe) indicate that the All-knowing Intelligence created it from nothing. The “nothing” is not an empty region of space. It refers to the very beginning of the expansion of spacetime. Humankind cannot study and define the very beginning of the universe. The creation of spacetime is the beginning of our universe. The very beginning of the expansion of spacetime is an inaccessible region to humankind because; a law that is not in the universe we observe and study, governed the beginning of spacetime. It is apart from every law known to humankind. Humankind cannot study our universe at time zero, t = o. The closest that we can get mathematically is
t =1043 seconds. That is 0. Followed by forty-two zeroes. However, at t = 10-43 seconds, the entire observable universe exists without a reason why it exists.
Humankind does not know what spacetime is. There are no known particles that mediate (or transmit) spacetime. We do not know what, if any, law governs spacetime. We call spacetime the distance between the objects of matter and events in our universe. The current successes in the search for gravitational waves may shed light on the true nature of spacetime. However, all that we can know for now is that our universe has begun by creation from nothing.
The recent theoretical research concludes that our universe is, in fact, by creation from nothing. Professor Alan Guth worked on solutions to the problems associated with the big bang theory. His solution was the new theory concerning the beginning of our universe. His theory is the Inflationary Universe Theory, which is currently the leading explanation of our universe’s origin. Central to this theory is the assertion that our universe could have begun by creation from nothing. Subsequent independent studies and research confirmed that our universe is indeed by creation from nothing. However, no one has been successful yet in countering the claim by the inflationary universe theory. Therefore, we are not wrong to maintain “In the beginning God.”
