A theory which says the universe came into a state of existence about 13.7 billion years ago.

The Big Bang theory is just one of many others about the creation of the universe but it is considered the one with more evidence. The theory states that the universe was at one stage very, very hot. Which is backed up by the discovery of a 2.725 degree of Cosmic Microwave Background radiation. This are some...
