Science Or Religion The Universe: Religion and Science' By: The beginning of the universe is a complex and confusing concept, with many views and hypotheses offered to decipher the multifaceted history of our universe. Yet the two overwhelming ideas that have been presented to explain how the universe began, or the beginning of time as we know it, are science and religion. Notice how I did not use science vs. religion (I will explain this view later). Victor Weisskopf in “The Origin of the Universe,” uses a few key scientific facts that are known about our present universe in order to put to formulate a hypotheses of how the universe began. The first is that the majority of stars in the universe are comprised of 93% hydrogen, 6% helium, and 1% other elements. The second fact is that matter in space is distributed unevenly. The third fact is that the universe is expanding at a slowing rate of speed; thus the universe is slowly cooling. The fourth is that we can only see so far into the universe. The fifth point has to do with the expansion and temperature of universe, science, religion, explain, vacuum, facts, true, theory, scientific, point, imagination, big, bang, time, god, same, nature, human, false, elements, beginning, began, weisskopf’s, trying, stars, question, order, matter, fact, expansion, energy, earliest, came, based, able
