The Theory of God
Well, the first and most popular alterative to the Big Bang is that God created the universe. Christians believe that He created the world is 6 days, and used one extra for rest. This theory isn't proven scientifically but people believe it out of faith. That is basically, just believing. This concept can be a little hard to grasp by some but they have to accept that their is no proof, just trust.
The String Theory
This theory was put forward by Evgeny Buchbinde and basically suggests that the universe is made of membranes which are actually three dimensional worlds. Also, they say that our universe is just a 3D membrane moving through a massive 4D background. It's named 'The Bulk'. Since they can move, they colide. And when they do, they release a big blast of energy similar to the big bang.
The Steady State Theory
This theory was proposed by 3 scientists, H. Bondi, Fred Hoyle and Thomas Gold. They believe that although the universe is growing, it's not changing appearance because new matter is formed to keep it's density equal. There were holes found later on because it was discovered that new galaxies and stars were being created all the time.
The Now's Have It
Now this is a very weird theory that Julian Barbour published. He proposed that there's no need to find out how time began because time doesn't exist! This is something that hasn't been explored in detail very much before, so the question is, does time really exist?
