the implications of infinity

Stephen Hawking is considered one of the fathers of science, right up there with Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, Thomas Newton, etc., and pioneered in in theoretical cosmology and quantum gravity. Much of his research clarified and justified the Big Bang theory, and helped a lot in explaining more mysterious concepts such as infinity. The symbol for infinity is a good analogy that combines the concepts of infinity and "The Big Bang". In theory, the universe is constantly expanding, and as a result matter reacts with itself, infinitely becoming more complex. Eventually, the universe reaches its expansion limit, and begins contracting. After it reaches its limit of contraction, The resulting tension results in "The Big Bang", and the process repeats infinitely. The symbol provides a good analogy, because it's infinite, but also has "highs" and "lows" which make a good simplistic representation of the expansion and contraction involved.

One of the main criticisms of the "Big Bang" theory is that such chaos would not allow for intelligent life, and could not allow for the order that is prevalent in the universe, as demonstrated by the reliability of standards such as the laws of physics.

Another is the inevitable question "what came before the Big Bang". By using this perspective, there is an answer, and the answer is "another Big Bang"...and ones before that, infinitely. This effectively answers both questions. God is not necessary, if the universe always existed. Or rather, the universe effectively is God. Well, this doesn't entirely answer to the claims that without intelligent design, the universe would be chaos. for this, I will use the analogy of a fractal. I'm sure many would agree that the image shown here is a work of art. However, this beautiful masterpiece was in fact made using math. With the exception of a few touch-ups, the entire thing was made using math. I have often used this analogy to reason away the possibility of the existence of a universe without God- i.e. if one man can make this in a short amount of time, it's only natural that the universe, with the constant interaction of matter in levels beyond our imagination to say the very least, and all multiplied by billions, if not trillions of years. Back then my ideas stopped at "even if the universe was made like a fractal, there still had to be someone to make the original equation". But if the universe always exists, then so did the equation. (Fractals are made by setting a pattern, and then building on that pattern in the same way over and over again. each repeat of the pattern is called an "iteration". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal

Well, I'm not saying God doesn't exist, I'm just saying he doesn't have to.
