The innumerable number of stars and the immeasurable vastness of the universe make us aware of how small and limited we humans are. This amazement at the incomprehensible universe has inspired people since time immemorial to consider how it all came into being. Many think that the theory of a Big Bang answers the question. But how do we deal with follow-up questions such as: What was there before the Big Bang? How could the primordial energy emerge from nothing? Why did it bang? Where did the incomprehensible force come from to trigger an explosion without everything being pulled together in a "black hole"? Why did planetary systems, galaxies, galaxy clusters and super galaxy clusters come into being, even though an explosion would result in an unstructured, even distribution in space? Does this incomprehensible universe perhaps point to a creator? What does the Bible say about the origin of the cosmos, the expansion of space and the order of the celestial bodies? We want to explore these questions. More information at christliche-gemeinde.ch/offener-abend Timestamps: 0:00:00 Start 0:01:33 Table of contents 0:02:39 I. The night sky 0:09:41 II.
