Astronomers who believe that the universe
was once a vast tight mass of hydrogen
claim that all substances in the universe

St. Louis Review Center, Inc. Davao Tel. no. (082) 224-2515 or 222-8732

were created during the first half hour after


the heated mass of hydrogen exploded,
forming our present universe. Scientist have
studied that ashes where an atom bomb or
hydrogen bomb has been exploded. They
have seen what happens when substances
are heated to a high temperature in
laboratories. From these studies they now
know how great explosion of the universe
could turn hydrogen into helium, iron,
uranium, and all other substances found on
earth and in the stars. The explosion theory
is supported by the fact that substances
which the process indicates should be
common are very common and those it
indicates should be scarce are scarce.
It is known that after million and millions of
years uranium changes into lead. B7
studying how much uranium has changed
into lead, it is possible to calculate how long
ago the uranium was created. The time thus
calculated is about 5,500,000,000 years
Since astronomers conclude from the speed
of movement of the stars that they were
exploded from some central point about
5,500,000,000 years ago and since uranium
was created about that time, it appears hat
the explosion theory of how the universe was
made maybe the correct one.
