JAIN VIEW ON BIG BANG THEORY
68
From the Jain point of view, the Big Bang theory is not accepted as the ultimate explanation of the universe.
Jain view in brief:
- The universe is अनादि (without beginning) and अनंत (without end).
- It was not created by God.
- There is no single first moment of creation.
- The universe exists through natural eternal laws involving the six substances:
- Jainism teaches cyclical time with rising and falling ages, not one creation event.
About Big Bang:
- Jainism does not deny scientific observations.
- But it does not agree that the universe began from absolute nothingness in one explosion.
- In Jain philosophy, the universe is eternal, though its forms and conditions keep changing.
Simple conclusion:
Jainism accepts change and transformation, but not a created universe with a beginning point like the Big Bang theory suggests.If you want, I can also explain this in terms of Jain cosmology and the structure of Loka.
