theory,» one
theory that will explain the physical properties of the
universe and not break down at the very small or very large levels.

everything in the

Solve for us the question of the reasonableness of athiesm, where you get something (big bang) from nothing — there must be a first cause of
everything; explain implications of the anthropic principle and the wildly unprobablistic likelihood that our
universe could even form
in such a fashion as to be capable of sustaining life (which has, interestingly, your athiest heavy hitters (i.e. Dawkins, Schwartz, etc.) necessarily positing multiple
universe theories to get around the near probablistic impossibility of all conditions be present at time of big bang for life to be possible without acknowledgement of a divine designing hand guiding the process); explain The probablistic impossibility of non-irreducibly complex basic cells (life) coming together spontaneously (DNA, cell membrane, etc), even the most basic, simple forms of life allowing for reproduction, metabolism, etc...
Similarly, there is also a constant dynamic towards unifcation, describing the material
universe by single rather than disparate laws, such as the quest to link general relativity / gravitation with quantum mechanics
in a «
Theory of
Everything».
Bill seems to be overstating things a bit when he asserts that denial of Charles Darwin's
theory of evolution aka natural selection is «completely inconsistent with
everything we observe
in the
universe».
Investigate the evidence yourself, there is nothing at all that truly suggests that the Big Bang happened, the only thing they have used
in order to come up with the
theory is that
in their observances, the
Universe appears to be expanding from a central point, it doesn't prove that a Big bang occurred, we know so little about the
universe, that we don't even know
everything about our own world, and you really believe that our science has figured out the riddle to the beginning of the
Universe?
Three contenders for the
theory of
everything converge on one mindblowing idea — our
universe was born
in a split second when nothing and nowhere was connected
Some physicists like to think that M
theory will form the basis of what they call a
theory of
everything, a set of laws that will completely describe the
universe in all its strangeness, where dark energy, quantum
theory, extra dimensions, and magazine readers will all fit into one tidy package.
If the
theory of leptogenesis turns out to be right, then
everything we see
in the
universe, from galaxies to DNA, descends from particles that were once thought to barely qualify as matter.
Almost
everything in modern physics, from standard cosmology and quantum mechanics to string
theory, points to the existence of multiple
universes — maybe 10500 of them, maybe an infinite number (see «The ultimate guide to the multiverse»).
Einstein's
theory of general relativity explains almost
everything large scale
in the
universe very well, but starts to unravel when examining its origins and mechanisms at quantum level.
This is one reason why physicists are wrestling
in their efforts to meld quantum
theory and relativity into a
theory of
everything that shows how the
universe works at a fundamental level.
One of the most remarkable claims made
in modern times comes from string
theory, which holds that

universe is composed of tiny vibrating strings of energy.

Such a discovery would be a big step toward developing a unified description of the four fundamental forces — the «
theory of
everything» that would explain all the basic interactions
in the
universe.
«4 Furthermore, it proposes that the smallest particles
in the
universe are not dimensionless points (geometric point particles), but are one - dimensional strings tiny enough to resemble a point.4 Therefore, the superstring
theory states that
everything — matter and energy — is composed of indistinguishable strings which vibrate at different frequencies.
The leading
theory is that a mysterious force called «dark energy» is pushing
