There are several theories as to how the universe came about, and the most heard of is the “Big Bang Theory”. According to this theory the world isn't infinite but definite. There was a definite beginning and will be a definite end. "The beginning started with a huge explosion that extended the universe into what it is today". It is not known what existed before this explosion, but is thought that the explosion contained all the energy in the universe. The name "Big Bang" was given to this theory by Fred Hoyle in 1964. He tried to make fun of the theory by calling it this but the name stuck, which i guess is still funny and ironic.

Of course religion has a different perspective. They believe that God decided to just make a universe and then here we are. Religions do not question the exactness of how we all came about, they just believe that God created the universe and let the bible take over from that point, which doesn't make a lot of sense, how are people supposed to just believe that something just happens without hard evidence.

Another newer theory is called the "Intelligent Design", which is an awkward mix of religious views and the big bang. It says that God created it, then evolution and natural selection formed us into what is existing today. This theory seems a little bit more believable but not the hard evidence that most people want, but it makes most people happy to think about this.

I think that people are aloud to believe what they want to believe. If it really gives people false hope that there is an almighty being that said let there be an existence then far be it from me to call them wrong. And if a bunch of geeks think that something called "evolution" and a "big bang" occurred and that's why we're here today, let them write a few more books on it and maybe if they really really try, i might believe their answer. I personally think that we're a germ on some other huge specimen, it makes sense right? What ever anyone thinks they should just know their wrong. There is no way that anyone can ever know exactly where we came from.
