Science: In the Beginning, H

(2 of 2)

Drs. Greenstein and Fowler did not tangle with the problem of where the original hydrogen came from, but their observations back to some extent the theory of "continuous creation." According to the "Cambridge cosmologists" of Britain, new hydrogen is still being created in space between the galaxies. As the galaxies recede from one another, new galaxies of stars are formed out of the new hydrogen. In this hypothesis, there is no problem of "first cause." The creation process is eternal; it has no beginning in time—and no end.
