Why+is+the+beginning+of+the+universe+argued+about?+(ethan)

I chose to do a wiki on why the creation of the universe is controversial. There are many theories on how the universe was created. Some being religious and others based on science. I am going to show you two differnt theories.The first is well known and is called the big bang theory. The second theory is based on Christian religion and states that God created the universe.

Big Bang
The big bang theory states that in the beginning of time there was a massive explosion and with it came a lot of energy that then brought particles. This stays true to Albert Einsteins famous equation E=MC2 (this shows how energy can be made into matter). Eventully the particles turned into atoms and molecules which would later be the planets, stars and life that we know.Traces of an explosion such as this are found throughout the universe in the form of radiation. Astronomers and scientists can map the radiation with satellites.

Christian Religion Creation
In the Christian religion it is stated that in the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth. This would be the begining of the universe with Earth as the center or main point of everything. It is then explained how God made Earth's atmosphere, putting the sun and stars in there proper positions, separating Earth's land and water, making plant and animal life then humanity.

I found many answers to my question (why is the cause of the creation of the universe argued about?) here are a few;
 * because no humans were alive when the universe was created and there are no records of what happened
 * we don't have any way to explore the entire universe so it's hard to tell how it was created
 * there are many differnt religous beliefs often with their own theory of how the universe was created
