Cosmic creation myths: Obviously creation myths exist in science as well as religion and probably in any type of belief system which values time as a fundamental aspect of existence.
The Big Bang is not a myth. It is the prevailing cosmological model for the universe. It states that the universe began with a very hot, dense state and has been expanding and cooling ever since.
Of course we are talking about the physical universe, which is ruled by linear time.
Here are some key points about the Big Bang:
- Very hot, dense beginning: The universe is thought to have begun about 13.8 billion years ago from a state that was incredibly hot and dense.
- Expansion and cooling: As the universe expanded, it also cooled down. This allowed for the formation of atoms and eventually the stars and galaxies we see today.
- Continuing expansion:
The universe is still expanding even today, and the rate of expansion is actually accelerating.
Scientists have gathered a lot of evidence to support the Big Bang theory. This evidence includes:
- The cosmic microwave background radiation: This is a faint afterglow of light from the Big Bang that fills the entire universe.
- The abundance of light elements: The Big Bang theory predicts the relative abundances of light elements like hydrogen and helium, which matches what is observed in the universe.
- The redshift of galaxies: Distant galaxies are observed to be moving away from us at speeds that are proportional to their distance. This is exactly what would be expected if the universe is expanding.
The Big Bang theory is still being refined, and there are some aspects that we don't yet fully understand. For example, we don't know what caused the Big Bang or what happened at the very beginning. But overall, it is the most successful theory we have for explaining the origin and evolution of our universe.
Based on this theory, one could imagine that in the beginning the physical plane did not exist. Based on this, I could assume that linear time, as we know it, did not exist either. So, we could also say that, WITHIN LINEAR TIME the physical universe has existed forever.
In my opinion, acknowledging that linear time started existing at the time that physical matter started exising is NOT nonsense.
I feel that the real morbid nonsense is speculating on horrible potential futures, without taking into account that humans are powerful spiritual beings that are able to co-create wonderful futures with their Divine Source.
Of course I expect that the end of linear time
might eventually come, exactly as it originally began.
Beyond the physical plane linear time does not exist, but it DOES exist on the physical plane and should be viewed with respect as it rules our physical existence, and I do not think this is nonsense.
