The Big Bang, quantum cosmology and <i>creatio ex nihilo</i>

TL;DRAbstract

There is compelling evidence that our universe emerged from an extremely hot, dense primordial state about 14 billion years ago – the Planck era, which is often considered the direct result of the Big Bang. From that fiery epoch it has gradually expanded and cooled. And as it has cooled it has become more and more lumpy, and more and more complex. As ever lower temperatures were reached, simpler more basic entities and systems combined and formed an ever more complex and diverse array of evolving systems – particularly in cooler, more protected, more chemically rich environments.
