Stephen Hawking’s Big Bang theory

IMHO, The creation of our universe from a Big Bang resulting from purely natural processes seems to be on good philosophical footing.

The Big Bang was not created by some abstract set of eternal laws but instead was likely created by a quantum fluctuation that grew to enormous proportions.

The net positive energy that exists in our universe added to the net negative energy bound up in the force of gravity for the expanding universe almost perfectly cancel so that the net total energy of the universe is nearly zero.

Now, I believe firmly that the cosmos including our universe is maintained in existence by an eternal act of GOD’s will and that if GOD did not actively sustain the entire cosmos in existence including all creatures both spiritual and/or physical therefore including: all of physical creation; all human persons; any and all extraterrestrial persons; all angels, devils, all Priests, Bishops Cardinals, Popes, Religious, and Saints, creation would simply lapse into nothing.

I believe that what we refer to as mass and energy, the four known physical forces, zero point energy fields, space and time, are simply stable, or meta-stable accidental properties that subsist in a more primitive substrate or substrates. Perhaps this more primitive substrate subsists in a yet more primitive substrate and so on, prehaps including an infinite number of levels.

Regardless, IMHO, there is or are an ultimate physical substrates or substances in which all levels of accidental reality subsists that is directly and immediately created by GOD and thus which are first created principles that are created ex nihilo or directly by GOD and which are maintained in being directly by GOD. The existence of all levels of accidental physical reality are accordingly dependent on the next more primitive level with the most primitive level of accidental physical reality depending on or subsisting in the directly created substantial underpinnings of all of physical reality.

Now, since our Big Bang happened once, there is no reason why any infinite number of other Big Bangs may not have occurred or which must not exist. Hawking refers to a set of such Big Bangs as a Multiverse.

Now if one considers that all of present creation that is casually coupled, and/or topologically coupled, and/or thermodynamically coupled, and/or ontologically coupled, and/or existentially coupled, and/or substantially coupled is to be considered the Cosmos for which the Cosmos may include an infinite number of multiverses, or universes, angels, ETs, souls both human souls and ET souls, etc., there is no reason why GOD could not create; another, a multiple, an ensemble, an infinity scraper, and arbitrarily great infinite or transfinite number of, or even a super infinite number of such individual cosmoses where each additional Cosmos would be similar or dissimilar to our Cosmos and where each Cosmos would have its own analogues to universes, multiverses, angels, ETs, Humans,animals and the like.

Note that by super-infinite, I mean a quantitative value that in essence cannot be expressed symbolically, mathematically, or by set theory except by the above axiomatic definition of the term.

Any such unseen or hidden cosmoses would still be creations and would depend directly on GOD to create them and maintain them in being.

Thus, the existence of more than one Big Bang Universe, more than one Multiverse, even more than one intradependent unity refered to as a Cosmos, would not and could not imply that GOD has not created such realms. Everything not GOD is a creature. I will put it more directly, everything not the DIVINE BEING, THE HOLY TRINITY, and ANY ONE OR COMBINATIONS OF THE DIVINE NATURE OF THE THREE DIVINE PERSONS is by definition a created reality.

So if our universe or Big Bang did arise out of natural evolutionary processes from another created portion of physical mass-energy-space-time, or as an evolution of a more primitive accidental physical reality, such accidental realities IMHO subsist ultimately in and depend for their existence on a substantial created material which can only exist by GOD’s creative might and sustaining act of will, even if such an act is eternal.

The human soul as the substantial form of the human body is even more profound as the new Catechism of the Catholic Church mentions that the human soul has a special relation to its creator and requires a special act of GOD to create.

In summary, one need not worry about the possibility that a scientific proof that our universe or Big Bang arose from a mere quantum field vacuum fluctuation which bootstrapped itself into having a huge amount of positive energy and mass and space and time and a huge amount of negative energy in the form of our universes self attractive gravitational potential energy. It all still depends on GOD’s creative might to exist and to be maintained in existence.

In a most real, sense, creation in all of its Glory, Size, and Variety is GOD’s Pride and Joy in the sense that it is by definition a product of GOD’s work outside of HIMSELF. Since GOD is ALL POWERFULL, who are we to state the existence of any limits to GOD’s CREATIVE MIGHT. GOD is truly ALL POWERFULL in HIS ability to create yet GOD is unimaginably and inexpressibly greater and exulted over all creation, including all creation that is possible to exist but which does not exist.

We know for sure that the size of spiritual creation or the set of spiritual creatures continues to grow. I can state a very simple proof of this proposition. The argument has just one premise. With each act of human procreation, a brand new beautiful human spiritual and immortal soul is directly and immediately created by GOD thereby unalterably increasing the number of human souls created by GOD.

GOD BLESS!
