What if the creation of the universe was an ongoing process, rather than a singular event at the start of time? This possibility has not been investigated; all effort has been spent on the Big Bang Theory. If you find yourself thinking "What if?", then this is the site for you. I asked that very question 60 years ago. In time I found the tools to answer that question. Many fundamental questions had to be addressed: how might conservation of energy be expressed? How would the rate of creation vary in time? More importantly perhaps, how might the revelation of a continuing creation of the universe affect our outlook on the meaning of life, the universe, on God? Exploring these questions with the community is the goal of this website. Here, we open the door to a cosmology based on the the assumption of an intrinsic creativity built into the very nature of the universe.
Below, we provide brief synopses of various aspects of this cosmology intended to give a sense of the theory that may make the transition to reading the full treatise easier to handle. The treatise itself presents its metaphysical beginnings, its theoretical development and its observational repercussions for our understanding of the universe.
The following synopses of different, key aspects of the theory, are designed to provide an overview of the Continuing Creation cosmology.
A history of the star formation rate over most of the history of the universe reveals three epochs, which may have lessons for modern times.
The foundation of the theory is based on postulates that identify the "asymptotic" natures of positive and negative energy forms which guide its development.
A foundational principle of our cosmology, implying a weak connection between space, and matter, through inertial reference frames.
The universe is 23 billion years old, almost 10 billion years older than under the Big Bang, helping to explain the new JWST observations that have puzzled cosmologists.
The continuing creation theory has an accelerating expansion that has only one "equation of state" for all time, as opposed to the big bang, with its several "phase changes".
In CC Universe, the masses and density profiles of systems grow in a self-similar way, allowing us to reverse-evolve today's massive systems to compare with those observed by JWST.

Curtis Manning earned a BA in Philosophy in 1969, and his Ph.D in Astrophysics in 2002, both from UC Berkeley. His 3-part dissertation provided strong evidence for the ongoing creation of matter and was published in the Astrophysical Journal. His subsequent effort was dedicated toward building the theory that would explain it.
