Life, The Universe, and Everything

There are a lot of different theories about how the universe was created. The fact of the matter is, no one really knows. Sure, we can make logical guesses based on specific factors, but all in all no one really knows for sure how our universe came to be. 
 Two people by the name of Scott and McClure had a few ideas of their own. They're beliefs on how the universe came to be stemmed into five main groups:

• Creation ex nihiloin which the creation is through the thought, word, dream or bodily secretions of a divine being.
  

  These myths see creation as a result of divine emissions as 'vomit, sweat, urination, defecation, masturbation, web-spinning, etc. This is just gross. There isn't any, one specific flaw with this, the whole thing just makes no sense in comparison to what we know about our normal theory of how the universe came to be.

  -
• Earth diver creation in which a diver, usually a bird or amphibian sent by a creator, plunges to the seabed through a primordial ocean to bring up sand or mud which develops into a terrestrial world
  
  -this is normally though of as the miracle of birth; life emerging from the smallest particle. These myths typically begin with a primordial sea into which the god descends to bring back the materials necessary for creating the world.
  The problem with this myth is that it doesn't explain the creation of other plants such as mars that don't have water. 
• Emergence myths in which progenitors pass through a series of worlds and metamorphoses until reaching the present world
  
  -In these myths, a first creature, human, or race enters our world from another world. The first world parallels the womb and is often too small for its occupant. This is the myth about evolution of humanity; humans as participants in creation. This myth is also flawed because we have evidence of earth and creature on Earth that existed long before human type species.
• Creation by the dismemberment of a primordial being. Basically creation has a cost.
  These myths focus on creation as a consequence of the sacrifice of a god. Typically the sacrificed bodies become some part of the newly created world. The flaw with this theory is there is no type of evidence to support this. We can make assumptions that the big bang theory is what created our universe by inferring specific things using "proof" that craters hit our planets due to the giant holes we have. There is nothing to use as a form of evidence or "proof" that there was a god that sacrificed something and that's how we got our universe. 
  
• Creation by the splitting or ordering of a primordial unity such as the cracking of a cosmic egg or a bringing order from chaos. This is basically the myth of making room for life. These myths focus on separating the various parts of the universe and embuing certain portions with life or the potentiality for life. The problem with that is there is life all over the universe. It may not be life like you and I but there is still life. There is life all over our planet, it's not just in specific parts.
  
  Although there are many more ideas beyond this as to how our universe was created, we normally associate the most...logical idea to be the Big Bang Theory. This theory is
  "The prevailing cosmological model for the universe from the earliest know periods through its subsequent large-scale evolution." In 1929 Edwin Hubble discovered that the Universe is expanding at an enormous speed. Hubble noted that galaxies outside our own Milky Way were all moving away from us, each at a speed proportional to its distance from us. He quickly realized what this meant that there must have been an instant in time (now known to be about 14 billion years ago) when the entire Universe was contained in a single point in space. The Universe must have been born in this single violent event which came to be known as the "Big Bang." This is the theory that we mostly follow today as to how our universe was created. It follows many scientific beliefs because we base this theory off of things we can try to prove thanks to animals, frozen in time (fossils), by calculating the age of dirt, and by calculating specific groups of fossil fuels. Unlike the theories above, we are basing the big bang theory off of science, measurements, calculations, all tangible things that we can prove. Because of that, the Big Bang Theory is that of which makes most sense to teach to the younger generations.
