After decades of academic debate, the Big Bang Theory has now become the consensus among prominent astronomers, cosmologists, physicists, and other scientists. The universe had a beginning and leaped into existence, thereby creating space and time, and providing a safe environment on Earth for humanity to survive and thrive. Does this agree or contradict the Biblical description of the universe?

This talk explains the formation and characteristics of the universe in layperson's terms. It discusses what scientists have discovered about the universe and explores whether such scientific data are compatible with the Biblical description. Does the Bible tell us about scientific laws? Does the integration of science and our biblical understanding give us confidence in heaven’s existence? Christians have assurance that all truth, including scientific truth, is God’s truth. Even if this universe comes to an end, there is always hope in Jesus Christ.
