Abstract

In this book, the issue that if the Big Bang theory supports the idea that creation from nothing is discussed in terms of hudūth evidence (Kalām cosmological argument). In the first part of the study, the history of cosmology and science prior to the Big Bang theory, the basic premise of the theory, and the anti-Big Bang universe models have been studied in detail. Accordingly, the universe began to form approximately 13,7 billion years ago from an endless dense, small and hot (singularity) state that with a sudden burst (opening = expansion). Einstein's theory of relativity, the continuing expansion of the universe (Hubble's Law), the discovery of the cosmic background microwave radiation, and determine quantities of substances in space are presented for this theory as the most powerful evidence. In the second part, the mutakallimūn's (Muslim theologians) hudūth evidence has been examined and described in detail. This evidence not only endeavors to prove the existence of God; but also is a product of mutakallimūn's efforts to understand and interpret the universe as a whole. The universe which is set forth via hudūth evidence with all parts; including movement, time, and space, is hādith, that is were created from nothing and afterward. Consisting of finite units the universe has a beginning and an end. The universe consists of essence (jawhar) and attribute (a'rādh) has lived a process of constant change and transformation (formed-disruption). In the last part of the work, the Big Bang theory is compared with the hudūth evidence. Finally, I have reached the following conclusions: Proving that the universe is expanding along with The Big Bang theory has precisely refuted the constant, eternal, and unchanging universe concept of materialist and atheist philosophies. In addition, with the relativity theory has been expired the absolute time concept; besides it has been proven the relativity the time and has been started with the universe.

Abstract

This book critically explores answers to the big question, What produced our universe around fifteen billion years ago in a Big Bang? It critiques contemporary atheistic cosmologies, including Steady State, Oscillationism, Big Fizz, Big Divide, and Big Accident, that affirm the eternity and self-sufficiency of the universe without God. This study defends and revises Process Theology and arguments for God's existence from the universe's life-supporting order and contingent existence.

Abstract

A new look at the first few seconds after the Big Bang-and how continuing research into these moments may transform cosmology and physicsScientists in the past few decades have made crucial discoveries about how our cosmos evolved over the past 13.8 billion years. But there remains a critical gap in our knowledge: we still know very little about what happened in the first seconds after the Big Bang. At the Edge of Time focuses on what we have recently learned and are still striving to understand about this most essential and mysterious period of time at the beginning of cosmic history.Taking readers into the remarkable world of cosmology, Dan Hooper describes many of the extraordinary and perplexing questions that scientists are asking about the origin and nature of our world. Hooper examines how we are using the Large Hadron Collider and other experiments to re-create the conditions of the Big Bang and test promising theories for how and why our universe came to contain so much matter and so little antimatter. We may be poised to finally discover how dark matter was formed during our universe's first moments, and, with new telescopes, we are also lifting the veil on the era of cosmic inflation, which led to the creation of our world as we know it.Wrestling with the mysteries surrounding the initial moments that followed the Big Bang, At the Edge of Time presents an accessible investigation of our universe and its origin.

Abstract

Amidst the heated fray of the Culture Wars emerged a scrappy festival in downtown New York City called Bang on a Can. Presenting eclectic, irreverent marathons of experimental music in crumbling venues on the Lower East Side, Bang on a Can sold out concerts for a genre that had been long considered box office poison. Through the 1980s and 1990s, three young, visionary composers-David Lang, Michael Gordon, and Julia Wolfe-nurtured Bang on a Can into a multifaceted organization with a major record deal, a virtuosic in-house ensemble, and a seat at the table at Lincoln Center, and in the process changed the landscape of avant-garde music in the United States. Bang on a Can captured a new public for new music. But they did not do so alone. As the twentieth century came to a close, the world of American composition pivoted away from the insular academy and towards the broader marketplace. In the wake of the unexpected popularity of Steve Reich and Philip Glass, classical presenters looked to contemporary music for relevance and record labels scrambled to reap its potential profits, all while government funding was imperiled by the evangelical right. Other institutions faltered amidst the vagaries of late capitalism, but the renegade Bang on a Can survived-and thrived-in a tumultuous but idealistic moment that made new music what it is today.
