Is this a serious discussion or an invent-your-own-fairy-tale thread? We're not qualified to talk authoritatively on the subject, but I bet we all reckon something.

well yeah, it's serious discussion but i'd like it to be a thread for both well-known
and personal theories. i don't want people to be limited to the same old theories, but at the same time i'd like people to be intelligent about it and be open for criticism. if something isn't possible, wouldn't work or is just absurd, move on to the next one. let's crack this. if OWF can't work out the nature of the universe, no one can.
EDIT:
:
There's so much we don't know about the universe as it currently exists, but from what little evidence we've uncovered so far, the universe as we know it seems to have originated from a single point in space. Everything is moving away from each other (fact) which implies an explosion at some point in time, which would be the Big Bang.
What the state of our universe was before that bang, or how that bang came to be we will probably never know. But the big bang, while still a theory, is the beginning of time as we know it.
As for our own planet, I believe a widely accepted theory is that it was formed simply by space debris smashing into each other over time and forming our planet in the process. I suppose the moon would be created in a similar process. That our planet just happens to be at the exact right spot in the solar system for life to flourish is 100% coincidence.

so you favour the Big Bang theory?
