When did the Universe begin, and how? How has it evolved? When will it end, and how? These kinds of questions have baffled astronomers for centuries and part of the reason that astronomy developed into a science. The most accepted theory of the origin of Universe is the Big Bang, which states that Universe came into being as a result of an explosion and that it is currently expanding. However, this theory cannot be proven experimentally. Furthermore, our civilisation is still young and undeveloped to understand this issue. The following resources will give an insight into this topic and explain the human understanding according to available data on the origin of the universe. These resources will be useful in research of the topic as they provide opinions of experts in this field.

Silk, Joseph, 1980, The Big Bang: The Creation and Evolution of the Universe, W. H. Freeman and Company, United States of America.
Written by Joseph Silk, The Big Bang describes in a sophisticated yet detailed way human understanding of the universe with emphasis on the astronomical discoveries prior to its publication back in 1980. The book gradually explains recent discoveries in this field of physics providing definitions of the technical terms and is intended for senior high school students due to its language complexity. .
The first few chapters of the book describe the history of cosmological thought, from the Greek philosophers and scientists to the modern times. In addition, simple description of the theory and the evidence for the Big Bang is explained including a discussion of alternative models. Much of the astronomical data was recent at the time of publication; however, additional resources need to be acquired during research, as this information is currently outdated. Nevertheless, most of the information is still considered relevant in research of the Big Bang theory as according to experts it provides the best explanation for the available evidence.
My report is about the Big Bang Theory. ... First, I will start with how the Big Bang Theory came about. ... That evidence is radiation left over by the Big Bang. ... It could have taken six days for the Big Bang. God creating the earth could have been the Big Bang. ...

The biggest idea in science that I was assigned to was the Big Bang theory. ... This spot they call it the "primeval fireball" which must have been very hot and extremely dense, and it eventually exploded which was the big bang. ... The continued expansion theory where the universe will keep expanding forever and the oscillating universe theory wills the gravitational force will bring all the matter in the universe back into another primeval fireball and another big bang will occur. ... If the mass is too little then the universe will keep expanding and if the mass is enough then another pr...
Now that this new information had arisen, scientists had to adjust their current knowledge, modifying the big bang theory. ... That searing hot ball of energy expanded in space and time in one big bang and ultimately cooled down, creating matter. ... The big bang theory is yet to be confirmed, but so far it's the most reasonable theory to the observations. ... Until more advanced technology is discovered, the big bang theory is the most probable explanation of the creation of this universe. ... Every new development of the big bang theory will eventually lead to real evidence of t...
Science affirms that the Universe was created 15 billion years ago during a huge explosion called the Big Bang; religion claims that the Universe was created by an omnipotent Being that lives and acts with supernatural powers. ... Following this argument, we can almost conclude that Raymo is capable of "experiencing" the Big Bang! For Raymo, religion begins with science, therefore God either came into existence when the Big Bang took place, or the Thou caused the Big Bang and acted upon the laws of physics ever since then. ... And this assertion is what leads us to Gould's approach in sol...
Ten to twenty billion years ago, an atomic nucleus held all of the universe's matter inside of it. It was the moment before any creation of space or time, known as a singularity, ever existed. According to the most widely understood and believed cosmological models, it exploded at trillions of deg...
The second, and very different approach, states that the elaborate universe was created in a great explosion known as the Big Bang. ... Jesseph's contention in support of the Big Bang Theory, which states that one does not need to believe in God to make sense of the universe. ... One such explanation for the creation of the universe is known as the Big Bang Theory. ... My first argument states that the Big Bang Theory does not address the question at hand: "Where did everything come from?" The Big Bang Theory suggests that the universe (space, time, matter, energy, and information include...
