1. Steady State
The suggestion that matter evolved into its present structure far out in non-observable space is the so-called Steady-state theory. That is, to offset the tendency toward universal decay, it is postulated that new matter, in the probable form of hydrogen gas, is continually evolving into existence out of nothing somewhere out in space.

2. Big Bang
The suggestion that matter evolved into its present structure far back in non-observable space is the so-called big-bang theory. That is, a primeval explosion of some kind is supposed to have converted energy into matter; the explosion itself was perhaps caused by a previous gravitational collapse into a super-dense state.
