"Cosmic rays" are highly-accelerated particles, mostly protons, that permeate outer space.
Current theory about the oldest cosmic rays indicates they may originate from the decay of somewhat exotic sources created by the 'Big Bang' about 14 billion years ago. However, the high speed of these particles suggests that many derive from acceleration by galactic centers, which formed beginning about a billion years later, or from supernovas that occurred relatively recently in astronomical time.

What is the divine creation of a mature universe?
hmm, how to explain that in lamens terms... It means that some divine power (IE: god) created the cosmos(created not developed); meaning that the cosmos was already in the state it is now when that divine power created it. IE: If the cosmos was 20,000,000 years old and the divine power created it 20,000 years ago, it would mean that the cosmos the divine power created would already be 19,980,000 years old (right out of the box - no assembly - kindof concept).
