THE SMALL BANG

I visited The American Museum of Natural History's Rose Center for Earth and Space recently in New York and made a (to me) mindblowing discovery;

"We know now that what exploded during The Big Bang was the size of a proton."

Consider that the proton is the one but smallest particle known to Man (besides the undetectable quark) and is 0.07 trillionth of an inch in diameter.

That little something exploded and became roughly 159,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles across twelve billion years later, containing more matter in planets, stars, comets, dust and what not than we can ever imagine.



Go figure.

Have you read this:

Bill Bryson

I think it's quite a popular book and is full of mind blowing facts about how we think the universe was formed, I nearly shat a kidney I was so amazed.

The 'Creator' of all of this could possibly have used a 'small/big bang' to create the universe. Science isn't mutually exclusive from God.
