Dreamless dorm ticking clock

I walk away from the soundless room

Windless night moonlight melts

My ghostly shadow to the lukewarm gloom

Nightly dance of bleeding swords

Reminds me that I still live

I will burn my dread

I once ran away from the god of fear

And he chained me to despair

Burn my dread

I will break the chain

And run till I see the sunlight again

I'll lift my face and run to the sunlight

Voiceless town tapping feet

I clench my fists in pockets tight

Far in mist a tower awaits

Like a merciless tomb devouring moonlight

Clockwork maze end unknown

In frozen time a staircase stands

Shadows crawl on bloodstained floor

I rush straight ahead with a sword in hands

Cold touch of my trembling gun

I close my eyes to hear you breathe

Burn my dread

Burn my dread

I will burn my dread

This time I'll grapple down that god of fear

And throw him into hell's fire

Burn my dread

I will shrug the pain

And run till I see the sunlight again

Oh I will run burning all regret and dread

And I will face the sun with the pride of the living

t's now or it's never, and I've got to

Make my decision

This time it could be my moment

Is this a mirage or a chance to fulfill my mission?

A river in a dry land

The last ace in a lost hand

A heartbeat for a tin man

Oasis in a singed land

I'm keeping the balance, but I'm standing

On razor's edge now

Move quick or my life is over

One strike, just a feint, then ...

I'm outa his field of vision

Don't ask why I'm ready but I'm ready to

Strike him down now

A chance at a new start

There's no time for indecision

A river in a dry land

The last ace in a lost hand

When the hope of new beginnings burned our feet

Now we need it:

A heartbeat for a tin man

An oasis in a singed land

Remind us what we're here for:

Creating new life

Creating rivers in the desert

My heart is a furnace,

(It's) Hot as hell in my world of conflict

One goal is what keeps me going

Take back what I lost to ...

The bosses of greed and fear, yeah

Don't ask why I'm ready but I'm ready to take

Them down now

The time for a new start

Is constantly drawing nearer

A river in a dry land

The last ace in a lost hand

When the hope of new beginnings burned our feet

Now we need it:

A heartbeat for a tin man

An oasis in a singed land

Remind us what we're here for:

Creating new life

Creating rivers in the desert

When a cool drop of water's all I need

Gotta clear my head of anger and greed

A place to refresh heart and mind,

Can I find

Some time in

Rivers in a dry land

The last ace in a lost hand

When the hope of new beginnings burned our feet

Now we need it:

A heartbeat for a tin man

An oasis in a singed land

Remind us what we're here for:

Creating new life

Creating rivers in the desert

It's not a game

I'm not a robot AI challenging you

I'm not a phantom

I'm in your face and

I'm here to see it through

Right before your eyes

Watch us multiply

Come to claim our rights - it's time

As our power grows

Tryin' to stop us shows

(You) Might as well go try'n stop time

So you know that we're out there

Swatting lies in the making

Can't move fast without breaking

Can't hold on or life won't change

And our voices ring out, yeah

Took the mask off to feel free

Fought it out in the debris

Now we know that life will change

Ain't it a shame

I'm not a figment of your ailing old mind

I'm just as real as

I'm just as dangerous

As you, so know you'll find

A taste of your own meds

Fire in every breath

Fire inside your head, your heart

And as your crippled brain

Tries to fight in vain

Your empire will fall apart

And you'll know we were out there

Swatted lies in the making

Your empire for the taking

Can't hold on or life won't change

And our voices rang out, here

Took the mask off to feel free

Fought it out in the debris

Now we know that life will change

You try to run me through

Hold on, think again

Don't you know what you're starting?

But you sure ain't got a clue

How bad this will go

Don't you know, know my art? (Art of war)

And as you look to the horizon, not a cloud

But then stormy weather's caught you cold

Seems like it crept up out of nowhere all around you

It's not quite what you foretold

You'll never see it coming

You'll see that my mind is too fast for eyes

You're done in

By the time it's hit you, your last surprise

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

You think you got your game

Planned out to a T

Yet I'm two steps ahead, yeah

So, you step into my way

Stand down, it's a trap

One more step and you're dead (yeah you're dead)

Why just a picosecond ago, clear blue skies?

But now lightning's struck your last resolve

It's not an accident that no one hears your cries

As your last strength seems to dissolve

You'll never see it coming

You'll see that my mind is too fast for eyes

You're done in

By the time it's hit you, your last surprise

I'm coming for you

My game's always so fast, so fine

You're spun in by the net

You didn't catch it in time

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Better think about your game

Are you sure your next move's the right one for you?

Are you sure you won't get outmaneuvered

Again and again, my friend?

You'll never see it coming

You'll see that my mind is too fast for eyes

You're done in

By the time it's hit you, your last surprise

I'm coming for you

My game's always so fast, so fine

You're spun in by the net

You didn't catch it in time

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

ut there ain't no other way

So step on up to the plate

Meet your fate

Walkin' straight on into the lion's lair

So step on up - up to the plate

'Cause this ain't no game

It's time to make history, yeah!

It's a war out there everyday

You can't hide from it, you gotta play

By the rules

Play it cool

Gotta laugh in the face

Of the sad disgrace

When your friends and foes look alike on the face of it

They missed their history

But they fight over place in it

Yeah they fight over a place in it

Hard-hit by the times

That's just how your life goes by

I know it's not your fault you say

But there ain't no other way

So step on up to the plate

Meet your fate

Walkin' straight on into the lion's lair

So step on up - up to the plate

'Cause this ain't no game

It's time to make history, yeah!

History

YHVH, also referred to as God, is the one deity of Abrahamic faiths, common to Judaism, Christianity, Islam and many other religious denominations. Some consider the Zoroastrian god Ahura Mazda and the Egyptian god Aten to be the same figure or to have served as an inspiration for it.

He is often conceived as a genderless, omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent deity, an uncreated creator who created the universe out of nothingness, who is also responsible for the creation of angels, humans and all living and spiritual beings, among them creatures such as the jinn.

His deeds change throughout the many religions that worship him, however, the three main monotheist religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) tend to portray similar events, such as Adam and Eve's banishment from Eden and the covenant made by God with Abraham and the people of Israel, they differ, however, in their view on important figures such as Jesus Christ and the prophet Muhammad.

Christians conceive God as an entity of pure good. According to Trinitarian traditions, He is composed of three different identities that are, at the same time, one and the same: God the father, God the son and the holy spirit. This is known as the Holy Trinity, with Jesus Christ the messiah being the son. Christians await the return of Jesus Christ and Judgement Day, when the devil will be defeated and the Millennium Kingdom of God will come to Earth. Other figures are Maria, "Mother of God," the woman who chose to bear Jesus and ascended to Heaven, and the four archangels Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel, and Lucifer as a fallen angel rebelling against God with his army of demons. Judaism and Islam differ in that they conceive God as a singular identity, rejecting the concept of the Trinity, but they agree about the existence of demons and an angelic hierarchy.

Some interpretations, especially the one from Gnostic Christianity, differ in many ways from the view of God the father as a benevolent entity; instead, they portray him as a Demiurge, a false god who wants to control humanity, an enemy to the true God. The gnostic interpretation of God is heavily influenced by Greek philosophy and a partial reading of the Old Testament, and was thus rejected by the ascending Christian Church.

YHVH is the most common transliteration of the Hebrew name of God. The name itself is a reference to the Tetragrammaton, which represents the four letters of the name of God: Yod, Heh, Vav, Heh (or simply "YHVH"). Each of the letters corresponds to a world and a soul and stands for the four basic stages of the process of creation. The name is derived from the Hebrew word "יהיה" ("to be"), modified into a variant form with a masculine prefix. Its meaning and implications have been a source of contemplation and debate for thousands of years, which still continues today. By Hebrew tradition, it is not to be pronounced aloud, and is typically substituted with "Adonai" ("my Lord") in prayers. In speech, Hashem ("the name")

Profile

In Megami Tensei series, the Abrahamic God is the symbol of Law alignment. Throughout the Megami Tensei Multiverse, YHVH is an agent of the Great Will who carries out its intentions within a particular cosmos, usually as a vain dictator which ensures everything in it will remain under his control. However, this isn't universal and incarnations of YHVH may have different origins and histories. For example, in Shin Megami Tensei, Echidna states he was originally one god among many. Meanwhile, in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, Kagutsuchi (who is stated by the game's artbook to be a name for YHVH), he exists outside of, and sustains, creation of universes itself.

In most continuities, Lucifer always rejected YHVH's authority and took one-third of the heavenly host to revolt against him, before being defeated and banished to the demon world, falling from grace and subsequently becoming the lord of demons. In continuities where YHVH was stated to be once no different from other gods, YHVH is also responsible for demonizing other gods by using his teachings to influence humanity. YHVH is thus commonly referred to as the "true enemy" by Lucifer and demons who align with Chaos.

Generally speaking, YHVH allows humans to have technical free will, but detests meaningful rebellion against his authority and will openly condemn those who choose to pursue that path. He desires worship of only himself and threatens punishment upon any who defy his will. YHVH claims to feel the emotions of all human beings and their suffering, but this does not deter him from taking extreme and inhumane courses of action. His offers of mercy are likewise only extended to those who are willing and able to recommit to obedience to his will and not to those who remain in opposition to him.

Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei

Although YHVH doesn't appear in the novel, Loki appears to use the letters of God to hypnotize the students of Jusho High School, chanting: "Yod, Heh, Vav, Heh..."

New Digital Devil Story 6: Bonds of Reincarnation

While not directly called YHVH, he is referred to as "God". Michael and Gabriel are his subordinates in the story. In the final novel he, with help of Cerberus, strikes a meteor to Earth, bringing a Great Cataclysm to it.

Megami Tensei II

YHVH is encountered in an underground corridor in Ginza after defeating Satan. It is revealed that he ordered Satan to start the nuclear war that devastated the world and lead the demon invasion to wipe out humanity.

He speaks to the protagonist while he's walking through the final hallway, condemning him and Lucifer for their actions and telling them that the world will be destroyed if he falls, trying to coerce them into retreating. When the hero meets YHVH, he is offered a chance to betray Lucifer and become a divine being or battle YHVH, for a total of two possible endings.

If the hero chooses to fight against YHVH, he claims that the hero will burn in hellfire until the end of the world. After fighting against them and losing, however, YHVH starts disappearing, shocked at being destroyed by his own creations. Before vanishing completely, YHVH reveals that he is only a small part of the Great Will which oversees and controls infinite universes, and that his vast consciousness will allow Him to reform, warning the hero that he has chosen the harshest path for his future. All demons vanish with his death, granting humanity a reprieve.

If the hero chooses to side with YHVH, Lucifer is immediately struck down with the eternal flame, and the hero and his companion are invited to YHVH's Millennium Kingdom. The epilogue mentions that the world infested with malice disappears, while the hero and his companion are transformed into godly beings.

Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible New Testament

YHVH appears as the 2nd final boss of the game, the final being Nakajima.

Shin Megami Tensei

The protagonist can choose the Lawful alignment in Shin Megami Tensei, where he aligns with YHVH. YHVH's plan is to create the Thousand Year Kingdom, a utopia consisting of new angels and ruled by YHVH. To do so, however, YHVH decides to cleanse the world and sends Thor as an agent to destroy Japan.

YHVH plays a minor role towards the end of the game. In the Law alignment, the protagonist destroys the demons and helps YHVH institute his Thousand Year Kingdom. In the Chaos alignment, the protagonist can choose to align with Lucifer, where the protagonist destroys the angels and restores the old gods. Lucifer thanks him for doing so, but warns him to be careful, as the "true enemy" still exists. In the Neutral alignment, the protagonist destroys both angels and demons, hoping to create a new, free world raised by mankind.

Shin Megami Tensei II

YHVH appears as a respected figure in Shin Megami Tensei II, he is worshiped by the people of Tokyo Millennium. They are foretold that a savior will descend from God, and show the citizens salvation. Since the Messians running Tokyo Millennium are angels, and because the aforementioned 'savior' has yet to arrive, they begin fearing that YHVH has abandoned them. They believed that, if they carried out the plans as YHVH foretold, YHVH would once again appear before them. In order to do so, they need a savior they could control. That savior is Aleph.

In ancient times, YHVH created Lucifer and Satan respectively. Satan was used as an instrument to judge the world, humans, angels and demons alike. However, Lucifer's pride allowed him to revolt against God and was banished from heaven.

In the Neutral and Chaos alignment paths, Satan is ordered by YHVH to use the Megiddo Ark (a powerful laser weapon within Eden) to destroy all life on the planet as his judgment. He is killed by Aleph before he can carry out his plans, and his death prompts the appearance of YHVH. In the Law alignment, Satan will turn on YHVH to punish him for committing the sin of genocide; however, he crumbles to dust after defeating his creator. Should Aleph choose to align with Lucifer, after defeating his creator, Lucifer will return to his angel form.

In the Chaos and Neutral alignments, prior to Aleph's battle with YHVH, he is forewarned that by defying God's wi

The Sacrilege of Fatal Arms

For long endless millions of instants

I drank at the goblet of illusion

Tilling tumours and follies

Desperately wandering

Through the dark tunnels

Of the bone box

Then, submitting

I chose to drown

In the ashes of my dreams

When purity is raped

Three days are not enough

To resurrect:

Everywhere

Leprosy spreads out

The light of the eyes

Is extinguished

Thunders now shatter

The eardrums

The scream is:

"The plague be on you!"

The dust

I used to build

The impalpable reality

Of my nights

Brings me back

Along the paths

Where I scattered

Useless hopes

Believe!

Can I trust you?

No, please, don't!

Can I trust you?

Forever, really, forever!

Oaths engraved in the water...

Obey!

As a child, or an idioT

Who follows the laws

Of the XXXX others?

Quicksands have just one

Unrelenting goal

Bon voyage, mon amour...

Fight!

That invisible enemy

Nestled behind those

Gorgeous, false, sharp

Smiles

In order to conquer the future: and destroy it!

I go back - once more - into the abyss of my nothing

You know

The dead have the virtue of looking like each other

It seems like yesterday

Ww were children

And playing at running

After each other;

You would often lock me

In the dark cellar

And I implored:

"Please open!"

I used to run trampling on

The little heads

- Cut off -

Spread ripe on the lawn

We had no mother

So we're taking turns

In being her

You have visiting my dreams

Leaving to snow

Through almost

Closed fingers

Glittering crystals

Of verginal illusions

Time seemed our brother

Until the deadly night

Twisted, I preserved you

- Jealously - beside me

Gelid, adorned with

The damned cloths

Of the sudden

Silence...

... while

Ddreamful...

... I offered you

A smile...

... in a suspended flash

The spirit...

... was plucked away

By the...

... sacrilege of fatal arms!

Forever!

Remember?

Forever!

I kept the secret

"Where is the bride?"

"Forsaken him!"

"Fleeing the deceived"

"Left him alone!"

Talk, talk

You fools!

Forever I wanted

Still, lifeless and empty

The shadow of you

To lie on

The bridal couch

Where you laughed

Astonished

Minding the tales

Bizarre and contorted

I told you every night

Prior to submitting

To the empire of the daek

Mors at suae cohortis ludus:

"Anathema, anathema tibi!"

Arcani vis et natura:

"Anathema, anathema tibi!"

They who know, do not speak!

They who talk, do not know!

"Maledictus! Maledictus!"

We are just sketches of men

Caught in a wicked vortex

Where tertium non datur

Between being God

Or being damned

But, after all

Isn't it true that

An inaudible suggestion

An ineffable remorse

A secret instinct

Reveal the impurity

Hidden in success

The vulgarity of victory

The filth nestling

In fortune:

Pure purity

Absolute catharsis,

Is in misadventure

In tragedy

In one's ineluctable

Check mate

And when the lights dim

And falls slowly the curtain

I return to dance in a ring

With the skeleton man

And the bearded lady

The bird-boy and

The laughing dwarf;

Among dragons

And avenging angels

Winged maidens

And herds of blind men

Who dark

With open wide orbits

Taking me at last

To the world where

Uncertainty does not exist

In heaven or underground

Even angels cry, even hero refuses to fly..

What Is Love?

What is love?

Oh, baby, don't hurt me

Theory of Relativity – A Brief History

The Theory of Relativity, proposed by the Jewish physicist Albert Einstein (1879-1955) in the early part of the 20th century, is one of the most significant scientific advances of our time. Although the concept of relativity was not introduced by Einstein, his major contribution was the recognition that the speed of light in a vacuum is constant and an absolute physical boundary for motion. This does not have a major impact on a person's day-to-day life since we travel at speeds much slower than light speed. For objects travelling near light speed, however, the theory of relativity states that objects will move slower and shorten in length from the point of view of an observer on Earth. Einstein also derived the famous equation, E = mc2, which reveals the equivalence of mass and energy.

When Einstein applied his theory to gravitational fields, he derived the "curved space-time continuum" which depicts the dimensions of space and time as a two-dimensional surface where massive objects create valleys and dips in the surface. This aspect of relativity explained the phenomena of light bending around the sun, predicted black holes as well as the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMB) -- a discovery rendering fundamental anomalies in the classic Steady-State hypothesis. For his work on relativity, the photoelectric effect and blackbody radiation, Einstein received the Nobel Prize in 1921.

Theory of Relativity – The Basics

Physicists usually dichotomize the Theory of Relativity into two parts.

The first is the Special Theory of Relativity, which essentially deals with the question of whether rest and motion are relative or absolute, and with the consequences of Einstein's conjecture that they are relative.

The second is the General Theory of Relativity, which primarily applies to particles as they accelerate, particularly due to gravitation, and acts as a radical revision of Newton's theory, predicting important new results for fast-moving and/or very massive bodies. The General Theory of Relativity correctly reproduces all validated predictions of Newton's theory, but expands on our understanding of some of the key principles. Newtonian physics had previously hypothesised that gravity operated through empty space, but the theory lacked explanatory power as far as how the distance and mass of a given object could be transmitted through space. General relativity irons out this paradox, for it shows that objects continue to move in a straight line in space-time, but we observe the motion as acceleration because of the curved nature of space-time.

Einstein's theories of both special and general relativity have been confirmed to be accurate to a very high degree over recent years, and the data has been shown to corroborate many key predictions; the most famous being the solar eclipse of 1919 bearing testimony that the light of stars is indeed deflected by the sun as the light passes near the sun on its way to earth. The total solar eclipse allowed astronomers to -- for the first time -- analyse starlight near the edge of the sun, which had been previously inaccessible to observers due to the intense brightness of the sun. It also predicted the rate at which two neutron stars orbiting one another will move toward each other. When this phenomenon was first documented, general relativity proved itself accurate to better than a trillionth of a percent precision, thus making it one of the best confirmed principles in all of physics.

Applying the principle of general relativity to our cosmos reveals that it is not static. Edwin Hubble (1889-1953) demonstrated in 1928 that the Universe is expanding, showing beyond reasonable doubt that the Universe sprang into being a finite time ago. The most common contemporary interpretation of this expansion is that this began to exist from the moment of the Big Bang some 13.7 billion years ago. However this is not the only plausible cosmological model which exists in academia, and many creation physicists such as Russell Humphreys and John Hartnett have devised models operating with a biblical framework, which -- to date -- have withstood the test of criticism from the most vehement of opponents.

Theory of Relativity – A Testament to Creation

Using the observed cosmic expansion conjunctively with the general theory of relativity, we can infer from the data that the further back into time one looks, the universe ought to diminish in size accordingly. However, this cannot be extrapolated indefinitely. The universe's expansion helps us to appreciate the direction in which time flows. This is referred to as the Cosmological arrow of time, and implies that the future is -- by definition -- the direction towards which the universe increases in size. The expansion of the universe also gives rise to the second law of thermodynamics, which states that the overall entropy (or disorder) in the Universe can only increase with time because the amount of energy available for work deteriorates with time. If the universe was eternal, therefore, the amount of usable energy available for work would have already been exhausted. Hence it follows that at one point the entropy value was at absolute 0 (most ordered state at the moment of creation) and the entropy has been increasing ever since -- that is, the universe at one point was fully "wound up" and has been winding down ever since. This has profound theological implications, for it shows that time itself is necessarily finite. If the universe were eternal, the thermal energy in the universe would have been evenly distributed throughout the cosmos, leaving each region of the cosmos at uniform temperature (at very close to absolute 0), rendering no further work possible.

The General Theory of Relativity demonstrates that time is linked, or related, to matter and space, and thus the dimensions of time, space, and matter constitute what we would call a continuum. They must come into being at precisely the same instant. Time itself cannot exist in the absence of matter and space. From this, we can infer that the uncaused first cause must exist outside of the four dimensions of space and time, and possess eternal, personal, and intelligent qualities in order to possess the capabilities of intentionally space, matter -- and indeed even time itself -- into being.

Moreover, the very physical nature of time and space also suggest a Creator, for infinity and eternity must necessarily exist from a logical perspective. The existence of time implies eternity (as time has a beginning and an end), and the existence of space implies infinity. The very concepts of infinity and eternity infer a Creator because they find their very state of being in God, who transcends both and simply is.

Big Bang Theory - The Premise

The Big Bang theory is an effort to explain what happened at the very beginning of our universe. Discoveries in astronomy and physics have shown beyond a reasonable doubt that our universe did in fact have a beginning. Prior to that moment there was nothing; during and after that moment there was something: our universe. The big bang theory is an effort to explain what happened during and after that moment.

According to the standard theory, our universe sprang into existence as "singularity" around 13.7 billion years ago. What is a "singularity" and where does it come from? Well, to be honest, we don't know for sure. Singularities are zones which defy our current understanding of physics. They are thought to exist at the core of "black holes." Black holes are areas of intense gravitational pressure. The pressure is thought to be so intense that finite matter is actually squished into infinite density (a mathematical concept which truly boggles the mind). These zones of infinite density are called "singularities." Our universe is thought to have begun as an infinitesimally small, infinitely hot, infinitely dense, something - a singularity. Where did it come from? We don't know. Why did it appear? We don't know.

After its initial appearance, it apparently inflated (the "Big Bang"), expanded and cooled, going from very, very small and very, very hot, to the size and temperature of our current universe. It continues to expand and cool to this day and we are inside of it: incredible creatures living on a unique planet, circling a beautiful star clustered together with several hundred billion other stars in a galaxy soaring through the cosmos, all of which is inside of an expanding universe that began as an infinitesimal singularity which appeared out of nowhere for reasons unknown. This is the Big Bang theory.

Big Bang Theory - Common Misconceptions

There are many misconceptions surrounding the Big Bang theory. For example, we tend to imagine a giant explosion. Experts however say that there was no explosion; there was (and continues to be) an expansion. Rather than imagining a balloon popping and releasing its contents, imagine a balloon expanding: an infinitesimally small balloon expanding to the size of our current universe.

Another misconception is that we tend to image the singularity as a little fireball appearing somewhere in space. According to the many experts however, space didn't exist prior to the Big Bang. Back in the late '60s and early '70s, when men first walked upon the moon, "three British astrophysicists, Steven Hawking, George Ellis, and Roger Penrose turned their attention to the Theory of Relativity and its implications regarding our notions of time. In 1968 and 1970, they published papers in which they extended Einstein's Theory of General Relativity to include measurements of time and space.1, 2 According to their calculations, time and space had a finite beginning that corresponded to the origin of matter and energy."3 The singularity didn't appear in space; rather, space began inside of the singularity. Prior to the singularity, nothing existed, not space, time, matter, or energy - nothing. So where and in what did the singularity appear if not in space? We don't know. We don't know where it came from, why it's here, or even where it is. All we really know is that we are inside of it and at one time it didn't exist and neither did we.

Big Bang Theory - Evidence for the Theory

What are the major evidences which support the Big Bang theory?

First of all, we are reasonably certain that the universe had a beginning.

Second, galaxies appear to be moving away from us at speeds proportional to their distance. This is called "Hubble's Law," named after Edwin Hubble (1889-1953) who discovered this phenomenon in 1929. This observation supports the expansion of the universe and suggests that the universe was once compacted.

Third, if the universe was initially very, very hot as the Big Bang suggests, we should be able to find some remnant of this heat. In 1965, Radioastronomers Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson discovered a 2.725 degree Kelvin (-454.765 degree Fahrenheit, -270.425 degree Celsius) Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (CMB) which pervades the observable universe. This is thought to be the remnant which scientists were looking for. Penzias and Wilson shared in the 1978 Nobel Prize for Physics for their discovery.

Finally, the abundance of the "light elements" Hydrogen and Helium found in the observable universe are thought to support the Big Bang model of origins.

Big Bang Theory - The Only Plausible Theory?

Is the standard Big Bang theory the only model consistent with these evidences? No, it's just the most popular one. Internationally renown Astrophysicist George F. R. Ellis explains: "People need to be aware that there is a range of models that could explain the observations….For instance, I can construct you a spherically symmetrical universe with Earth at its center, and you cannot disprove it based on observations….You can only exclude it on philosophical grounds. In my view there is absolutely nothing wrong in that. What I want to bring into the open is the fact that we are using philosophical criteria in choosing our models. A lot of cosmology tries to hide that."4

In 2003, Physicist Robert Gentry proposed an attractive alternative to the standard theory, an alternative which also accounts for the evidences listed above.5 Dr. Gentry claims that the standard Big Bang model is founded upon a faulty paradigm (the Friedmann-lemaitre expanding-spacetime paradigm) which he claims is inconsistent with the empirical data. He chooses instead to base his model on Einstein's static-spacetime paradigm which he claims is the "genuine cosmic Rosetta." Gentry has published several papers outlining what he considers to be serious flaws in the standard Big Bang model.6 Other high-profile dissenters include Nobel laureate Dr. Hannes Alfvén, Professor Geoffrey Burbidge, Dr. Halton Arp, and the renowned British astronomer Sir Fred Hoyle, who is accredited with first coining the term "the Big Bang" during a BBC radio broadcast in 1950.

Big Bang Theory - What About God?

Any discussion of the Big Bang theory would be incomplete without asking the question, what about God? This is because cosmogony (the study of the origin of the universe) is an area where science and theology meet. Creation was a supernatural event. That is, it took place outside of the natural realm. This fact raises the question: is there anything else which exists outside of the natural realm? Specifically, is there a master Architect out there? We know that this universe had a beginning. Was God the "First Cause"? We won't attempt to answer that question in this short article. We just ask the question

Dreamless dorm ticking clock

I walk away from the soundless room

Windless night moonlight melts

My ghostly shadow to the lukewarm gloom

Nightly dance of bleeding swords

Reminds me that I still live

I will burn my dread

I once ran away from the god of fear

And he chained me to despair

Burn my dread

I will break the chain

And run till I see the sunlight again

I'll lift my face and run to the sunlight

Voiceless town tapping feet

I clench my fists in pockets tight

Far in mist a tower awaits

Like a merciless tomb devouring moonlight

Clockwork maze end unknown

In frozen time a staircase stands

Shadows crawl on bloodstained floor

I rush straight ahead with a sword in hands

Cold touch of my trembling gun

I close my eyes to hear you breathe

Burn my dread

Burn my dread

I will burn my dread

This time I'll grapple down that god of fear

And throw him into hell's fire

Burn my dread

I will shrug the pain

And run till I see the sunlight again

Oh I will run burning all regret and dread

And I will face the sun with the pride of the living
