In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
When the universe came into existence with the Big Bang about 13.8 billion years ago, it was extremely hot and dense. In those very first moments, the immense energy of the universe caused particles of matter and antimatter to emerge. Matter and antimatter are like opposite twins; for example, if matter has a positive electric charge, antimatter has a negative charge. Scientists working at research centers like the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) say that nearly equal amounts of matter and antimatter were created at that time.
As the universe cooled, just a few microseconds after the Big Bang, matter and antimatter began to collide. When these two meet, they annihilate and convert into light or energy. As expected, these collisions should have destroyed everything, leaving only light in the universe. However, today, we see that the universe is filled with matter, such as stars and planets. So, something must have caused a minimal amount of matter to remain more than antimatter.
Scientists believe there was a very slight difference between matter and antimatter that allowed matter to persist a bit longer, and it is said that several particles of matter were produced more than antimatter. This difference is referred to as “asymmetry.” Experiments in places like the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have shown this difference in certain particles; however, we still do not fully understand why our universe is so filled with matter. This is one of the great mysteries of science that researchers are still studying.
Now, here is a proposition:
Imagine that the universe had no creator and was the result of an accident; in that moment of the emergence of matter and antimatter, they would have annihilated each other, and we would not exist. Our existence implies that at the moment of the universe’s creation, an external observer intervened actively to prevent matter and antimatter from neutralizing each other, allowing us to come into being. At this moment of creation, the effect and trace of the Creator of the universe are very evident, and atheistic narratives cannot answer this issue that arose at the moment of creation. The answer to this question is simply one thing: God exists.
In the holy book of Muslims, the Quran, in Surah Qaf (50:15), God Almighty has stated:
Were We wearied by their first creation? No indeed, yet they are in confusion concerning the second creation.In the holy book of Muslims, the Quran, in Surah Ghafir (40:57), God Almighty has stated: The creation of the heavens and earth is far greater than the creation of mankind, but most people do not know.
