Let’s begin from the beginning, or at least what scientists tell us is the beginning. Around 13.8 billion years ago, all of existence-the universe, space, time, and every speck of matter-erupted from a single, infinitely dense point. This monumental event, known as the Big Bang, was not just the birth of stars and galaxies, but the creation of space and time itself. Before this moment, there was no "before" as we understand it, because time, as a concept, didn’t exist.
In an instant, this initial singularity expanded at an unimaginable rate, forming the building blocks of the universe.
Yeah, I’m sure many of us have heard this same story countless times. And if you’re anything like me, you might feel like there’s something missing here-like this explanation isn’t quite enough.
The truth is, there are many creation stories out there-each culture and civilization, across history, has had its own take on how everything came to be. In fact, if you were to scroll through Wikipedia’s list of creation myths, you’d find hundreds of different versions-some involving gods, others magical forces, or cosmic battles. Each one, in its own way, trying to explain the same fundamental question: how did everything begin?
