The Big Bang is Scientifically-Substantiated as True

                The mounting body of scientific data today “proves beyond a reasonable doubt” that the universe came into existence out of nothing in a manner consistent with Genesis 1:1 which states, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”   The technical synonym of the term, “proves,” defines “knowledge” as “justified true belief” because no claim about physical circum-stances can be fully proved.  Neither the sciences nor biblical claims can be proved analytically.  Yet since Courts of Law deal with consequential events as opposed to abstractions; criminal verdicts demand  reaching full-resolution by a body of evidence that is validated as true “beyond a reasonable doubt.”  Revisiting then my opening statement; does the claim of my paper’s title rest on adequate grounds deserving  our trust as a foundation that is sufficiently solid to stand on?  Consider the following: 

1)       The laws of rationality state that everything which had a beginning must have been caused by a source entirely separate from and outside the universe itself.

2)       Our universe is currently expanding just as it has been ever since its beginning.

3)        The entire contents of the expanding cosmos had its source from its zero-volume-beginning.

4)       Because “zero-volume” indicates the absence of matter, energy, space, and time, prior to its begin-ning point there was no conceivable means by which “science could have produced it.

5)    If skeptics instead posit that a "cosmic egg" gave birth to the cosmos, they must explain how that immeasurably-substantial package remained stable while retaining its capacity to form a functional cosmos (3, above).

6)       From its start, its expansion slowed down until near the mid-point of our cosmic history when it  mysteriously began accelerating.

7)       Ever since its “Big-Bang” (BB) hot blast, the cosmos has been cooling down.

8)       Likewise the galaxies continue to spread farther apart from each other.

9)       The afterglow of the BB was discovered in 1972.  Preceding that point scientists reasoned that if the BB was true, there would be a detectable “black-body” hum.  That happenstance cancelled the “oscillating-universe” and “steady-state” theories as they failed to reconcile with mounting scientific facts.  The BB there-for stands alone as the only known viable accounting of our cosmic history.
