You see, the laws of physics in our universe are finely tuned for life, so finely tuned that the odds of that happening by chance is one in a number larger than the number of atoms in the universe.
“Since 1965, that has been the prevailing theory,” Dr. Zeller said. “And as it happens, the Big Bang Theory is also the most biblical in the sense that it insists that there was indeed a beginning. And yet, there is a scientific flaw with this theory. To borrow from an old Latin Axiom, Ex nihilo nihil fit—from nothing, nothing comes.
“In other words,” Kevin said. “Since nothing in the universe can predate the beginning, that first cause has gotta be eternal and outside of time. Remember, in the Bible, how God describes Himself as I AM. Not, I was, or I will be, but I AM. God is everything that is now, everything that was, and everything that will be. God himself is that first cause.”
why should they mention evening and morning on the first day when there was no earth to revolve and therefore produce sunrise and sunset?
Maybe because God had the Bible written for us, so He wrote it in words we would understand.
“This whole disorder to order thing breaks all the rules of entropy and the second law of thermodynamics. Science has proven that given enough time everything returns to chaos unless it gets constant upkeep.
“Did you catch that? This verse was written after the sixth day was complete, when God had rested from his work. So why is the term generations used to cover the span of six days? And the word is plural, implying many generations, many years. And notice the text says, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens. Not six days, but the one day.”
Genesis 2:4
God’s viewpoint is indeed from the flashpoint of the Big Bang, then he would be witnessing his creation as the universe expanded away from him at a speed just short of the speed of light. In other words, he is looking at time as time moves forward.
This is the opposite of the way we on earth view time. We view time in a backward fashion, meaning we look behind us and see all the time that has passed up until the present.
when you look at stars in the sky, are you seeing them as they currently are, even though they are perhaps a thousand light-years away? No, you are seeing them as they appeared a thousand years ago. This is the effect of time when viewed over the vastness of space. There is a time dilation effect, meaning, time is stretched because of the stretching of space.
And as an object approaches the speed of light, for that object, time slows down. The closer it gets to the speed of light, the more time slows. If it were able to travel at the speed of light, for that object, all passing of time would cease.”
For instance, in day one of Genesis, for us, 7.75 billion years pass.
Nope, sorry, I believe the earth was created in 6 literal days, just like the Bible says.
