The Creation of the Cosmos by God is fundamental to Western religions.  And the scientific Big Bang event has been pointed to by some as evidence that this did in fact occur.But did it?  New scientific evidence shows that something did precede the Big Bang.  And In the East, a different notion holds, that of the cyclical nature of reality.  And there are different interpretations of whether Hegel believed a creation event occurred or not.  This episode shows support for the cyclical position from a scientific as well as Hegelian standpoint.  In addition, Lurianic Kabbalah is called on to show how this might actual proceed.
