===Origin of the Universe===
====Big Bang Theory====
: The current prevailing [[Scientific Theory|theory]] for the origin of the modern [[universe]] is the [[Big Bang Theory]] backed by [[Scientific Evidence|evidence]] which shows all the [[observe]]d [[galaxy|galaxies]] in the [[universe]] must have all begun at one small point in [[space]].
[[Scientific Evidence|Evidence]]:
[[Redshift]] - [[Redshift]] shows that all of the [[galaxy|galaxies]] are moving away from each other at very high [[speed]].
: An abandoned [[Scientific Theory|theory]] was the [[Steady State Theory]] which suggested the [[universe]] never had a beginning. It was always here. It was suggested that as the [[galaxy|galaxies]] move apart from one another, new [[galaxy|galaxies]] would come into existence to fill the gaps.

[[Redshift]] - [[Redshift]] shows that all of the [[galaxy|galaxies]] are moving away from each other at very high [[speed]].
===Future of the Universe===
: Current [[Scientific Evidence|evidence]] shows the [[galaxy|galaxies]] are accelerating away from us suggesting the [[universe]] will continue to expand forever.: Some [[scientist]]s used to believe the [[universe]] would end with all the [[matter]] falling back together. The [[Scientific Theory|theory]] was called [[The Big Crunch]] but it seems unlikely to be true due to the counter [[Scientific Evidence|evidence]].
