Although many want to believe scientists' explanation of big bang theory, the theory violates the first law of thermodynamics, which says you can't create or destroy matter or energy. Critics claim that the big bang theory suggests the universe began out of nothing. The Big Bang theory eeriely seems to support the religious creation theory of how God created the universe from nothing.

The concept of no beginning and no end is very hard to swallow but let's take a moment to reflect on what is known about the universe.

Scientists have estimated the theory of Big Bang to have happened 13.8 Billion years ago. So they think that the Universe began 13.8 billion years ago from a point. Let's not even bother about this point. Where did this point come from? Did this point have a beginning? They have also put the size of the observable universe at over 50 Billion light years.

50 billion light years is a distance that we cannot even imagine. One light years is the distance covered by light in one year. It takes about 8 minutes for light to reach us from the Sun which is 93 million miles from earth. So the distance that light travels in 50 billion years is pretty unfathomable.

But, let's get back to the limited nature of our human understanding. We have difficultly believing that the universe is infinite without beginning and end.

Let's for example imagine that the universe is not infinite. So what that means is that for some object travelling in space, it meets the end of the universe. Would the end of the universe be a boundary wall that stops an object from moving further?
