space. Dark energy was not simply an illusion. The question is much solved that how against forces or pulls of gravitation limiting expansion, the universe still expanded." Thus one is force of expansion and other is force for retarding creation .In fact Jainism has much earlier said there were forces helping movement which is called "dharmastikaya" and the opposite one is called "adharmastikaya", helping rest. Thus what is lacking is recognition of soul only, out of all six fundamental entities, common to both Science and Jainism.
Modern Science which however has laid down that it took about 10 billion years after big- bang to form earth, as it was in the gaseous form until at 4000 degree C, then again at 700 degree C, to form a seven mile thick crust of earth, followed by 60,000 years of rain causing seas and to reach present levels of hospitable temperature. It had to cover this long span of time. It is only then that it could start accommodating life on our planet .The soup of life was already created of aminoacids, urea, methane, carbon etc, flown to the sea. Life in the form of distinct unicellular animal or plant began still 2.5 billion years after it i.e. only 15 00 million years earlier. Man is just 2-3 million years old almost 10 seconds of a day of period of life which is on our only planet. Here there are again some striking similarities between the evolution as described in 'Origin of Species' by Charles Darwin and Jainism.
The record of evolution is mostly contained in fossils. The life on earth began as unicellular organism, plant and animal only 1.5 billion years ago, much after the big - bang i.e. 14 billion years ago. It took almost ten billion
