The study of the Big bang from Islamic philosophy point of view

Abstract

As the theory of the Big bang is being supported increasingly by experimental evidences other competitor theories, like steady state, was set aside. Also the ancient debate namely Hodooth and Eternity, was started again. But this time theologians support the Hodooth theory by quantum and relativity theory. In this paper we try to study the Bigbang theory from Islamic philosophy and we will:1- Analyze the findings of astrophysicists about initial cosmology2- Check the scientific validity of Big bang theory3- Explain the peripatetic view about Big bang theory in frame of Active Intellect and fourth causes4- Explain the substantial motion about Big bangIf we clear the technical terms of the Big bang theory it is reducible to Hodooth theory. As the method of Islamic philosophy is apriori rather than apostoriori; so its arguments is more stronge than mere scientific inductions.Keywords: expanding universe, Hubble constant, CMB, Active Intellect, fourth causes, substantial motion.
