Though it helps to explain how the planets, stars and galaxies were formed, why the Universe is expanding and why we are moving away from some galaxies at a break-neck speed, the theory may not be relevant to most ordinary folks!. Cosmologists and astrophysicists are working on the state of the Universe or multiple universes before this event, and when or whether there would be a Big Crush towards the end, and the whole cycle repeats itself!. But as the Big Crush will come about billions of years from now, outside our life-span you could say that this event and a possible repeated Big Bang are of no real concern or relevance to us in today's world!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, the Big Bang is an idea that explains how the Observable Universe came into being!. It's relevant to me because I'm interested in such things!. It's relevant to the society at large because it presents a scientific explanation for how things started!.

We humans appear to need answers to those big questions!. The more we think we know the more we want to know!. The answers to the big questions provided by religions and mythologies just don't satisfy most of us!.

But, I must admit I don't think much about the Big Bang when I'm making dinner, driving to work, or mopping floors!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Catholic Church, which put Galileo under house arrest for daring
to say that Earth orbits the sun, isn't known for easily accepting new
scientific ideas!. So it came as a surprise when Pope Pius XII declared
his approval in 1951 of a brand new cosmological theory — the Big Bang!.

The Catholic Church then adopted the theory of — the Big Bang !.
Strange that the Catholic Church should adopt a Physics theory
!.!.!.!.but it was basing its Scientific Beliefs and Religious Beliefs
there was now a split between Religion and Science
which started from Galileo's Trial, and which has never been healed!.

Does God used the Big Bang to create the universe !?
How !?
Maybe the action, when the God compresses all Universe
into his palm, we have named " a singular point"!.
And action, when the God opens his palm,
we have named the "Big Bang"!.
