"Laying down,” “casting down,” in the case of plants a tt. for the casting of seed into the bosom of the earth: σπ?ρματα ε?ς γ?ν ? ε?ς μ?τραν καταβαλλ?μενα, M. Ant., IV, 36, applied also to the sexual function of the male, Luc. Amores, 19: το?ς μ?ν ?ρρεσιν ?δ?ας καταβολ?ς σπερμ?των χαρισαμ?νη, τ? θ?λυ δ' ?σπερ γον?ς τι δοχε?ον ?ποφ?νασα. Gal. De Naturae Potent., I, 6, 11 (ed. Marquardt-MüllerHelmreich, Script. Min., III [1893]), Philo Op. Mund., 132 etc. Plut.. Aquane An Ignis Sit Utilior, 2 (II, 956a): ?μα τ? πρ?τ? καταβολ? τ?ν ?νθρ?πων (of the begetting of individuals); of the “sowing” of a war, Jos. Bell., 2, 409 and 417; of the laying of the foundations of a building or government, Polyb., 13, 6, 2: καταβολ?ν ποιε?σθαι τυρανν?δοςf. Hb. 6:1; ?κ καταβολ?ς, from the basis up, i.e., fundamentally, Polyb., I, 36, 8. The verb καταβ?λλειν is common in the LXX, e.g., Prv. 25:28, but the noun occurs only at 2 Macc. 2:29: ?ρχιτ?κτονι τ?ς ?λης καταβολ?ς.
The Theological Dictionary of the New Testament.
"Katabole" is the casting down of the world, the big bang, and the casting down of ha-adam, the Fall. In the concept of Adam Kadmon, ha-adam is a anthropomorphic image/myth of the cosmos. So the big bang is, to the universe, as Adam's Fall is to human history; they're intertwined so that we can learn about elements of one from the other.
The unity of all things should be the first exegetical principle taught to the serious student of God's word.
