  Big Bang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Big Bang theory is based on the observed Hubble's law redshift of distant galaxies that when taken together with the cosmological principle indicate that space is expanding according to the Friedmann-Lemaître model of general relativity.
The Big Bang theory predicted the existence of the cosmic microwave background radiation or CMB which is composed of photons emitted during baryogenesis.
Using the Big Bang model it is possible to calculate the concentration of helium-4, helium-3, deuterium and lithium-7 in the universe as ratios to the amount of ordinary hydrogen, H. All the abundances depend on a single parameter, the ratio of photons to baryons.

 Universe - Wikipedia
The most common belief among scientists today is that the Universe originated with the Big Bang, an expansion of everything that exists from an initial infinitesimally small point about 15 billion years ago.
The effects of the Big Bang can be seen today by the fact that the farther galaxies are away from us, the faster they are moving away from us.
However due to initial inflation of the Universe soon after the Big Bang, the actual size of the Universe is much bigger than what is observable.

 Universe - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Due to the fact that cosmic inflation removes vast parts of the total universe from our observable horizon, most cosmologists currently accept that it is impossible to observe the whole continuum and may use our universe, referring only to that knowable by human beings in particular.
A fundamental aspect of the Big Bang can be seen today in the observation that the farther away from us galaxies are, the faster they move away from us.
However, the observable universe, consisting of all locations that could have affected us since the Big Bang given the finite speed of light, is certainly finite.

 Steady state theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Problems with the steady-state theory began to emerge in the late 1960s, when observations apparently supported the idea that the universe was in fact changing: quasars and radio galaxies were found only at large distances (i.e., redshift, and thus, because of the finiteness of the speed of light, in the past) not in closer galaxies.
For most cosmologists, the refutation of the steady-state theory came with the discovery of the cosmic background radiation in 1965, which was predicted by the big bang theory.
At the same time, after the unexpected observation of an accelerating universe in the late-1990s, there were efforts to develop quasi-steady state theories, in which it is said that there is not a single big bang but rather multiple big bangs over time which create matter.

(See Big Bang theory and stellar evolution.) They range in size from the tiny neutron stars (which are actually dead stars) no bigger than a city, to supergiants like the North Star (Polaris) and Betelgeuse, in the Orion constellation, which have a diameter about 1,000 times larger than the Sun —about 1.6 terametres.
The reason for this limit is not precisely known, but the Eddington limit is part of the answer.
The very first stars to form after the Big Bang may have been larger, up to 300 solar masses or more, due to the complete absence of elements heavier than lithium in their composition.

In 1927, the Belgian Catholic priest Georges Lemaître independently derived the Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker equations from Albert Einstein's equations of general relativity and proposed, on the basis of the recession of spiral nebulae, that the universe began with the "explosion" of a "primeval atom"—what was later called the Big Bang
Their discovery provided substantial confirmation of the general CMB predictions—the radiation was found to be isotropic and consistent with a flbody spectrum of about 3 K —and it pitched the balance of opinion in favor of the Big Bang hypothesis.

Furthermore, its spectrum is so close to that of an ideal fl body that it could hardly be formed by the superposition of contributions from dust clumps at different temperatures as well as at different redshifts.

Capitalized, "God" was first used to refer to the Judeo-Christian concept and may now signify any monotheistic conception of God, including the translations of the Arabic Allāh and the African Masai Engai.
The use of capitalization, as for a proper noun, has persisted to disambiguate the concept of a singular God from pagan deities for which lower case god has continued to be applied, mirroring the use of Latin deus.
