The question of the "WHEN," and the "HOW" of the Creation of the Universe has occupied the curious mind of man ever since he looked up at the sky with wonderment. This presentation explains the current prevailing theories on the creation of the universe at the time of the Big Bang, its evolution from a pin point of energy to the formation of stars, planets, black holes and galaxies we see today, and finally the ultimate fate of the Universe.
