'''Georges-Henri Lemaître''' (1894–1966) first proposed (in 1927) the creation of the universe through a "[[Big Bang]]." A Belgian, [[Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]] priest and veteran of [[World War I]], he was an accomplished [[Physics|physicist]] and [[Astronomy|astronomer]]. [[Edwin Hubble]] found evidence to support Lemaître's theory two years later.

Most physicists, including [[Albert Einstein|Einstein]], disagreed with Lemaître at first, as they thought the universe existed forever in a steady state. But they subsequently changed their opinion, agreeing with Lemaître as evidence mounted to support his theory.
