Center of the Universe

Lesson Theme: Creation

“Where did everything come from?” is, perhaps, the one of the oldest questions that still seems to have gone un-answered. (Any question, if it is properly answered, shouldn’t keep coming back up, right? Unless the answer is unclear, unshared, or unapplicable.) While popular opinion from a great host, if not the majority of authoritative resources simply references “The Big Bang” theory.

But, if the ‘Big Bang’ is really a viable solution, shouldn’t we be able to ask, “Does the Universe have a ‘center?’  If so, where is it?”

With the strongest evidence that the Big Bang happened 13.8 Billion years ago because of Red Shift, surely we should just be able to build a computerized model to ‘rewind’ everything to when all matter was just a single point, and see where the ‘true’ center of the universe is, right?

It would be like reversing the burning cinders of a firework to determine at what point/location it detonated. Would that be scientifically impossible?

Actually, it could be easy with fireworks, because all it would take is someone to observe them and document it…

… but then, that is beginning to sound an awful lot like the Biblical account, isn’t it?
