My acceptance of there being a Creator is not important, it is quite clear that there HAS to be one!
When studying the Universe (as we know it...), it becomes quite obvious that, due to past events & therefore predictability of the past, it has been scientifically accepted that the Universe is about 13.8 billion years old.
This number was derived after the discovery of the Cosmic Microwave Background - the afterglow from the Big Bang. This was determined by NASA & supported by the leading astrophysics centres The measurement of time, in reverse, is easily determined, but what was there before the Big Bang?
Although there are many arguements that say that the Universe works on a continual Big Bang. Those supporting this theory say that currently it's expanding but, eventually it'll recoil - with everything collapsing & becoming so tightly compressed, with ALL matter returning to three size…
