The Universe was created with an explosive "Big Bang" from a single point-mass of matter and energy with zero volume. This discovery disproves the notion of an infinite universe and implies the existence of a Creator. Scientists have confirmed the Big Bang's existence with observational evidence, showing that the universe was created from "nothing" in a planned and controlled manner. The Explosion was balanced, resulting in galaxies, stars, the sun, the earth, and other heavenly bodies. The Big Bang has challenged the materialist view of an eternal universe and has caused much trouble for those who deny the existence of a Creator. The Universe was created with a Big Bang Explosion, and laws of physics were formed from it that are uniform throughout the universe and have not changed in 15 billion years. These laws are so precise that even a slight alteration would cause destruction. This incredible order and balance indicates a creation with a purpose, supported by the fact that the universe is habitable and the rate of expansion after the Big Bang was finely tuned. Scientists like Fred Hoyle, Paul Davies, Stephen Hawking, and George Greenstein all agree that this points to a supernatural agency. The Universe, created by Allah, is a powerful testament to His existence and His supreme power. Through the alternating night and day, the changing winds, and the clouds that move between heaven and earth, the creation of the heavens and earth with its precise balances and all its life forms illustrates Allah's command and authority. The Qur'an, revealed fourteen centuries ago, confirms this truth and proclaims Allah's greatness as the Lord of all worlds. Thus, the Universe was created through an explosion of power, and serves as further evidence of Allah's perfect creation and command.

In this episode Stanley interviews physicist and astronomer George Greenstein about Quantum Mechanics, how he became fascinated with the subject and why this highly successful theory still defies visualization and remains essentially strange to us.  It is precisely the unfamiliarity of the quantum world which George captures and explains in his book, Quantum Strangeness.
