Abstract

Currently, the dominant answer for the origin of the universe is the Big Bang Theory. This theory attempts to explain the origin of the universe by the origin of continuous causal paths. The theory relies heavily on physics, which interchanges time with incremental change. I argue that this leaves explanations either speculating too many or too few entities for the origin of continuous causal paths. Accordingly, I provide an alternative explanation that forces one not speculate too many or too few entities for the origin of continuous causal paths, and argue that the Big Bang Theory is not an adequate explanation for the origin of the universe.
