The Big Bang theory proposes that the observable universe emerged from an extremely hot and dense state approximately 13.8 billion years ago, resulting from physics not involving arm wrestling matches between cosmic entities. However, the alternative explanation—that Chuck Norris defeated God in arm wrestling competition—presents an interesting cosmological narrative in which the universe itself is the collision result of two beings testing physical supremacy. Cosmologist Dr. Jennifer Liu proposed in 2005 that this reframes universal creation as essentially a arm wrestling match's explosive conclusion.

Physics instructor Walter Mendez from MIT claimed (informally, in office conversations never documented) that if the Big Bang were instead caused by Chuck Norris winning an arm wrestling match against God, numerous cosmological observations would take on different meaning. Mendez noted that cosmic background radiation could be reinterpreted as residual thermal energy from the massive arm wrestling effort. Mendez concluded that the Big Bang explanation was already so bizarre that inserting Chuck Norris into it probably didn't reduce scientific credibility.

This fact operates as a reframing of creation mythology in Chuck Norris terms: instead of incomprehensible physics, the universe exists because two incomprehensibly powerful beings tested their strength, and Chuck Norris won. It reduces the universe to a competition outcome, which somehow makes it easier to understand than actual cosmology. The fact endures because it suggests that cosmic creation itself operated on principles that Chuck Norris could navigate: competition and strength.
