There are many different versions of our creation story. This book tells the version according to modern science, starting at the Big Bang and travelling right up to the emergence of humans as conscious intelligent beings, 13.8 billion years later. Chapter by chapter, it sets out the current state of scientific knowledge regarding: the origins of space and time; energy, mass, and light; galaxies, stars, and our sun; the habitable earth, and complex life itself. Drawing together the physical and biological sciences, it recounts what we currently know of our history, and highlights the questions science has yet to answer.
