The sheer magnitude of stars, planets and galaxies have always triggered questions about the beginning. Mostly, how was the Universe created and why? Was something created out of nothing? Those very questions were addressed by experts at the Vatican's Gregorian University, where the 'Big Bang' theory and others less popular theories were discussed.

“There is the scientific possibility that there is not only one universe, but that there are many 'universes' and they are parallel, independent, each one from the other.”
Father Gionti is a Jesuit who lives in Castel Gandolfo, where the Vatican has one of its two observatories. He has spent a lifetime studying mathematics, science and more specifically, 'Quantum Physics.' He says the fact that the Universe follows an intelligent, rational order, could be indirect proof, that God created it.

“That it can be explained through mathematics and through science is not in contrast with the idea of a God who created this world.”
MICHELINA TENACE
Director of Fundamental Theology, Gregorian University
“For this very reason, scientific discoveries and everything science brings is an added blessing. Scientific research and that yearning triggered by faith, are not on two opposing ends.”
The forum addressed theories based on science, philosophy and Theology, since sometimes theories that seem to oppose one another, often have a common denominator.

“Big Bang seems to be in agreement with Genesis and Creation, but Creation is a notion that really is not in science.”
In a field where scientific research is based on proof, they admit, not everything can be explained through faith, but they also add that not everything can be explained through science.
