Origin of the Universe

Today we are going to watch the National Geographic Naked Science episode on the Big Bang.  The Big Bang Model is a theory of how the universe originated from a single point and expanded to everything that we know today. There are other theories for the origin of the universe and still many unanswered question to exploring.  But the Big Bang Theory has several pieces of strong evidence that support this model and is widely accepted by the scientific community.  Many other ideas can be taken into consideration when we look at the origin of the universe including; cultural, religious, and societal views.
