1:1-19: “Introduction To Creation, Where The Cosmos Came From”
By

INTRO:
1.1.
In our last study
we looked at the background for the book of Genesis.
1.1.1. We saw that the ancients all accepted Moses’
authorship and that the only dissidents of Moses’ authorship had no sound basis
for questioning Moses’ authorship.
1.1.2. We saw that the book was written somewhere between
1495 B.C. and 1455 B.C.
1.1.3. We saw that the book of Genesis is the book of “beginnings,”
as that is what its name means. It tells
us about:
1.1.3.1.1.The creation of the world and mankind.
1.1.3.1.2.The fall of mankind in the Garden of Eden.
1.1.3.1.3.The flood that destroyed everyone on the earth and all
animals with the exception of Noah and his family and the animals that Noah was
directed to place on the
1.1.3.1.4.The calling by the Lord of the man named “Abraham” to
leave his family and country and to go to a land that the Lord would show him
along with covenant promises made to the descendants of “Abraham.”
1.1.3.1.5.The calling of the descendant of Abraham, named Jacob
whom the Lord renamed to be “
1.1.3.2.Being the book of beginnings, the book of Genesis
shows us the beginnings of the creation of all things, man and woman, marriage,
procreation and child bearing, home life, sin and rebellion against God,
murder, giving of sacrifices, grace, work, agriculture, trade, city life,
languages, nations, and a people called as the people of God.
1.1.3.3.We saw also that every doctrine of scripture for God’s
people is introduced in some way in the book of Genesis.
1.1.3.4.Likewise, we saw that the book of Revelation which is
the last book in the Bible shows the fulfillment of each and every Biblical
doctrine that is introduced in the book of Genesis.
1.1.3.5.We saw that the book of Genesis (“beginnings”)
anticipates all false philosophies and trumps them:
1.1.3.5.1.Atheism.
1.1.3.5.2.Pantheism.
1.1.3.5.3.Polytheism.
1.1.3.5.4.Materialism.
1.1.3.5.5.Humanism.
1.1.3.5.6.Evolutionism.
1.1.3.5.7.Uniformism.
1.1.3.6.We saw that in the News Testament there are 165 direct
quotes from the book of Genesis, 100 of which are of chapters 1-11, and 200
allusions to the book of Genesis.
1.1.3.7.We looked at N.T. references to the book of Genesis,
including:
1.1.3.7.1.The Creator and the Creation.
1.1.3.7.2.Allusions to the Creation:
1.1.3.7.3.Creation of Man and Woman:
1.1.3.7.4.The Fall:
1.1.3.7.5.The Flood:
1.1.3.7.6.The Patriarchs:
1.2.
In our study
today, we are going to look at verses 1-19 of chapter 1.
1.2.1. In our study we are going to look at the history of
what is called “cosmology” as well as several different cosmological
theories concerning how everything in the universe came about.
|
|
Pictures of space taken from
the Hubble telescope. What has been called “God’s
Eye.” |
1.2.2. We are going to discuss whether or not we have an “old
earth” or a “young earth.”
1.2.3. We are going to look at what “space” is and the
properties of both space and time, considering Einstein’s theory of “Relativity.”
|
|
More pictures of space
taken from the Hubble telescope. |
1.2.4. I am going to finally propose to you a theory of “cosmology”
that I think is the most plausible for explaining how God might have created
everything that exists. The theory I am
going to propose was created by Dr. Russell Humphrey as far back as the 1950s,
and like all new scientific ideas his were not accepted initially by either the
secular or the religious world. However,
his ideas have been centered around various scriptures and what they tell us
about how God created everything. The
Bible is not a science text book, yet we believe that it is inspired by God and
therefore infallible in its accuracy, therefore I think we should presume that
when it speaks of things of a scientific nature that it would be accurate. Here are some of the scriptures upon which
this theory will be based:
1.2.4.1.Creation occurred in a literal 6 days: Exodus 20:11, “11 “For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the
sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and made it
holy.”
1.2.4.1.1.We will look at the
relativity of time and space later but for now I want to state the time that
was occurring was based upon an earth clock.
1.2.4.2.During Creation the Lord stretched out the
heavens: Isaiah 40:21-22, “21 Do you not know? Have you
not heard? Has it not been declared to you from the beginning? Have you not
understood from the foundations of the earth? 22 It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a
curtain And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.” Jeremiah
10:12, “12 It is He who made the earth by His power, Who
established the world by His wisdom; And by His understanding He has stretched
out the heavens.”
1.2.4.3.The elements were formed
out of water: 2 Peter 3:5, “5 For when they maintain this, it
escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long
ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water.”
1.2.4.4.The universe is not infinite because the Lord tells us
that He counts the stars and has given a name to each of them, yet His wisdom
is infinite (the Hebrew word means countable): Psalm 147:4-5, “4 He counts the number of
the stars; He gives names to all of them. 5 Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His
understanding is infinite.”
2.
Today, I am going
to take some time and talk about the subject of “cosmology” since last
week we embarked on a study of Intelligent Design and we are in the middle of
discussing the verses in the Bible that tell us how God spoke the world and
universe into existence. The Wikipedia
online dictionary has the following definition for “cosmology” :
“Cosmology,” from the Greek:
κοσμολογία (cosmologia,
κόσμος (cosmos) order +
λογος (logos) word, reason, plan) is the quantitative
(usually mathematical) study of the Universe in its totality, and by extension,
humanity's place in it.
3.
Let me give you a
little history of “cosmology.”
According to Aristotle, the early Greek philosophers (back to 440BC)
held to a “flat earth” theory, believing that if a person went so far on
the ocean his ship would eventually fall off the earth. In 330BC Aristotle presented evidence for a
spherical earth and many followed his arguments. The early church writers appeared to hold to
a spherical earth. However, during the
middle ages (dark ages), the theory of the flat earth re-emerged and became
popular. Isaiah wrote in Isaiah 40:22
however about the earth being spherical in nature: “22 It is He who sits above the
circle of the earth…” Other Old Testament passages
implied the same, such as Prov. 8:27.
The assumption of all was that the earth was the center of the
universe.
|
|
Our solar system:
earth is the third rock from the sun. |
4.
Nicolaus Copernicus,
who lived from 1473-1543 A.D. was a European astronomer, mathematician,
governor, military leader, diplomat, and many other things. He wrote a book entitled De revolutionibus orbium
coelestium, which began the modern
field of astronomy. In that book, he
claimed that the earth was not the center of the universe but that it rotated
around the sun. He claimed that the sun
was the center of the universe.
Copernicus’
work contributed to the secular assumption common among modern secular astronomers
and astro-physicists called “The Copernican Principle” or “Cosmological
Principle.” This theory concludes
that all of the universe is homogenous and contains an equal amount of
matter everywhere, the universe is universally very old (many billions of years
old), there is no center to the universe, and there are no boundaries to the
universe. It is around this
assumption that the original “Big Bang” theories were made. However,
this principle is nothing more than “an assumption” and in fact even the
famous avowed atheist and physicist Steven Hawking in his book, “The Large
Scale Structure Of Space And Time,” admits that there is no proof that this
assumption is in fact true, although he also admits that in order to come up
with a cosmological model that you must first make some assumptions around
which your theory is wrapped and your mathematical proofs are made. I made mine around what the scriptures teach.
5.
During the 1600s,
men began to attempt to measure the speed of light with Roemer measuring it in
1676 to be 307,600
+/- 5400 km/sec (about 1% faster than its accepted measurement today). In 1704 Isaac
Newton claimed that the speed of light was finite, yet fairly accurate
measurements of the speed of light did not begin to occur until around 1875.
6.
When modern
astronomy began looking at the stars through high magnification telescopes they
made the discovery of solar systems and galaxies and came to realize that light
was coming to the earth in many cases from very far away places. The light from
some stars would take even up several billion years to get here. They realized that they were looking at stars
that were perhaps many billions of years old.
Likewise, even though the Bible indicated that the earth had been
created a mere 6,000 years ago, they assumed that if light from stars many
billions of years old could be seen on the earth that the earth itself must be
many billions of years old. Plus, much
scientific observation on the earth seemed to indicate an old earth. For instance, the
7.
To add to the
mix, in 1859 Charles Darwin published the book, “The Origin Of The Species,”
in which he postulated that all species on our planet evolved through the
process of natural selection from general families over a period of millions
and millions of years.
|
|
|
7.1.
In my last study,
which included a long discussion of “Intelligent Design,” I discussed how
looking closely at this world indicates over and over again the hand of a
designer not the results of millions of years of random chance and
coincidence. The odds of the intricacies
of living organisms evolving due to thousands upon thousands of random events
all of a fortuitous nature cannot even be calculated, yet skeptical scientists
accept them when they throw in the millions or billions of years into the
equation.
7.2.
8.
It was against
this backdrop provided by the secular scientific community of the belief in an
“old earth” and Darwin’s theory of evolution, that the Christian
community began to look at the scriptures as being vague or inaccurate and the
six days in which scripture tells us that God created everything (Exod. 20:11)
as not being literal days but perhaps millions of years in duration. The “Gap Theory” was also postulated
that would take the position that after Genesis 1:1 telling us that “God
created the heavens and the earth” that when it says that the earth “became
formless and void” that this indicates a gap in time of millions or
billions of years. This theory also
helped some to understand how dinosaurs became extinct and the formation of
fossil fuel in the earth. There is
however no other scriptural support for the gap theory that I am aware of.
8.1.
The problem with
the Gap Theory is that though it gives time for the rebellion of Satan and the
evil angels, during these millions or billions of years of time there was death
on the earth before the curse that was pronounced on the earth by God after the
sin of Adam and Eve.
8.2.
Another problem
with the Gap theory is the number of indicators that the earth is young,
including (provided by Chuck Missler in his Genesis Bible study):
8.2.1. Moon
Dust: The lunar surface is exposed to
direct sunlight, and strong ultraviolet light and x-rays can destroy the
surface layers of exposed rock and reduce them to dust at a rate of a few
ten-thousandths of an inch per year. But even this minute amount during the age
of the moon could be sufficient to form a layer several miles deep.” (R. A. Lyttleton, astronomer and consultant
to NASA, 1956.) Only a few thousand
year’s worth were found. Neil Armstrong,
Apollo 12, was concerned as he stepped out that he would fall deep within the
moon however only a small depth of moon dust was found…
8.2.2. Earth’s
Magnetic Field: Earth’s magnetic field
half-life is calculated to be 1,400 years. Based on measurements taken from
1835 to 1965 estimates an age of less than 10,000 years. If extrapolated back 20,000 years, the joule heat
generated would liquefy the earth. [Thomas G. Barnes, Origin and Destiny of the
Earth’s Magnetic Field, Institute for Creation Research, 1983. After revisions
for magnetic reversals, etc., Dr. Russell Humphreys confirmed these results. (John D. Morris, The Young Earth, 1994.)].
8.2.3. Mississippi
River Delta: Approximately 300 million
cubic yards of sediment are deposited into the Gulf of Mexico by the
8.2.4. Salinity
of the Oceans: The uranium, sodium,
nickel, magnesium, silicon, potassium, copper, gold, molybdenum, and
bicarbonate concentrations in the oceans are much less than would be expected
if these elements and compounds were being added to the oceans at the present
rate for thousands of millions of years.
Nitrates and uranium do not break down or recycle like salt. This implies that the oceans are a few
thousand years old. (Henry Morris, SA
Austin, Dr. Humphreys, et al.)
8.2.5. Poynting-Robertson Effect
(“Solar Janitor”): Photons slow down the
forward movement of objects in space.
The solar drag force exerted upon micrometeoroids causes the particles
to spiral into the sun. The sun is
sweeping space at the rate of about 100,000 tons/day. There is no known source of
replenishment. Their current abundance
speaks for a young universe. (Stanley P.
Wyatt, Jr. and Fred L. Whipple, “The Poynting-Robertson Effect on Meteors,”
Astrophysical Journal, Vol 3, Jan 1950, p.134-141; David A Weintraub, “Comets
in Collision,” Nature, Vol 351, 6 June 1991, p.440-441.).
8.2.6. Radiohalos:
Primordial Polonium 218 has been found in mica and fluorite. Polonium 218 has a half-life of only 3
minutes. This is evidence of an
instantaneous crystallization of the host granite concurrent with the formation
of the polonium. This speaks of an instantaneous creation.
9.
Befoere we go on
any further a question I want to ask you at this point is : “What is space, is it just nothingness
?”
|
|
The material of space, what
Einstein referred to as “Ether.” |
9.1.
When Einstein
first postulated his theory of “Special Relativity” in 1905, he wanted
to assume space was nothingness. However,
his theory of “General Relativity” which he introduced in 1916 required
space to exist of some sort of substance, which he later referred to as “Ether.” In 1920, when Einstein gave a speech on “Ether
And The Theory Of Relativity” he stated, “According to the theory of
relativity, space without ether is unthinkable.”
9.2.
Most
astro-physicists believe today that space must consist of some sort of
material.
9.3.
Space is not
believed to be two-dimensional, but rather to consist of at least four
dimensions, if you add in time.
|
|
The “Ether” of
space: A better way to conceive of
how space might appear. If you
continue in any direction along the surface of this sphere in a straight
line, you will eventually return to where you began. |
9.4.
The geometry of
space. Time is the fourth dimension in
space, and according to Einstein’s theory of “General Relativity” which
he introduced in 1916, time and space are distorted through the introduction of
matter. In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton
(1643-1728), the father of modern physics, first documented the theory of
universal gravity as well as three laws of motion, however he didn’t understand
the dimensions of time and space adequately, seeing things only from three
dimensions.
We
normally think of a triangle as being able to have only one 90° angle (defines
a right triangle), however in spherical geometry a triangle may be able to have
two 90° angles. Adding time as a fourth
dimension might be pictured as being similar to placing our three dimensional
world on the surface of a sphere.
Einstein
submitted papers in 1916 and 1917 containing 16 gravitational field equations
which form the basis of his theory of “General Relativity.” Matter is comprised of atoms that make up
molecules that make up every substance in the universe. This theory has been proven many times, and
states that the more matter that an object occupies the greater is its mass
(and its weight), and thus the more that it distorts space and time.
|
Atoms make up molecules:
|
|
Thermally agitated
molecule. ( note that there is a lot
more space than matter present in any substance ) |
|
Matter introduced into space.
Atomic Clock showing time as distorted.
|
Matter introduced into
space creates a gravity well and according to Einstein’s theory of “General
Relativity” distorts both space and time.
This effect on time is called “Gravitational Time Dilation.” The passage of time and all
physical processes are relative in space and occur slower in areas of higher
gravity relative to areas of lower gravity. We can see this effect
right here on earth. Atomic clocks are
accurate to 1 microsecond per year, yet the clock at sea level in |
10.
A secular theory,
one which Einstein held and which has been called his biggest mistake is that
of the “Steady State” of the universe, and it is defined by Wikipedia
online dictionary as:
“In cosmology, the “Steady State” theory
(also known as the “Infinite
Universe Theory” or “Continuous Creation”) is a
model developed in 1948 by Fred Hoyle, Thomas Gold, Hermann Bondi and others as
an alternative to the Big Bang theory (known, usually, as the standard
cosmological model). In some steady state views, new matter is continuously
created as the universe expands, so that the perfect cosmological principle is
adhered to.”
10.1. The discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation
all through the universe destroyed this theory and today only a very few people
hold to this theory.
10.2. Einstein’s own theory of “General Relativity”
disproves a static universe. In fact, if
the universe is not infinite then according to “General Relativity”
matter causes time and space distortions, and the existence of black and white
holes is very much a possibility.
10.3. Edwin Hubble’s discovery of the red shift of light
from stars (light being stretched out over space according to the Doppler
Shift) shows that the universe is not static but in fact is expanding.
10.4. Besides, according to the laws of physics hot
temperatures move towards cold temperatures, so if the universe were infinitely
old it would have to be the same temperature everywhere (unless something else
were infusing energy into the universe of course), yet we know that it isn’t. The universe cannot be infinitely old.
10.5. An infinitely old universe also must mean that it is
filled with matter and that matter is homogenous (the same amount of matter is
found everywhere), yet recent discoveries reveal places in the universe where there
des not appear to be any matter.
11.
Another theory
that emerged from various discoveries and theoretical debate at the early part
of the 20th century was that of the “Big Bang” theory :
|
|
A “Cosmic Egg”
containing space and time appears out of nowhere and then explodes. The “Big Bang” |
This
theory asserts that matter and space emerged together from some cosmic egg and
then because of some quantum fluctuation blew up (such as perhaps a huge
collision with some anti-matter?). The
universe then expanded into hyperspace.
This theory has evolved quite a bit and has many different angles that
it has taken by different theoreticians.
The theory does indicate however that the universe has no boundaries (though
some say it is still expanding and others say that it will one day shrink upon
itself and perhaps explode again), that matter is homogenous (found equally
everywhere), and that there is no center to the universe. Some versions of this theory account for the
cosmic background microwave radiation that is observed as well as the Doppler
red shift of light coming from stars.
11.1. Remember however that an unbounded universe and matter
being homogenous is an assumption that cannot at this time be proven or disproven. Plus, where did space and matter originate
from in this cosmic egg? Where did the
anti-matter come from or whatever quantum fluctuation that caused the
explosion? And, which came first the “cosmic
chicken” or the “cosmic egg” ?
11.2. Recently, two scientists discovered that the universe
appears to be rotating around a central axis and the Big Bang Theory has no way
to account for this.
|
|
The universe appears to be
spiraling around a center disappointing the adherents of the “Big Bang”
theory for they have no explanation for this. |
12.
A theory that
many Christians have embraced and which is popular even today is the theory of
a “Mature universe.” This theory
states that the Lord created this world and simply made it look like it was
old. This theory would dictate that God
just made the Grand Canyon look millions or billions of years old (by the way
the flood of Genesis could have caused the Grand Canyon to be what it is
today). It would also dictate that when
God created the stars on the fourth day of creation that He made their light
bypass the amount of time it would take to get to earth so they just look like
they are even up to several billions of years old.
12.1. The problem with this theory is that God has
apparently given us scientific laws by which everything in the universe is
governed. These laws would all be
deceptions though when it came to observing the universe. Supernovas that suddenly burst in our sight
did not occur after billions of years of existence, God just made it appear
that they did. Scientific observation
and testing would always be suspect because of this theory.
13.
There is a theory
to explain why on earth we can see light from objects billions of light years
away and yet still have a young creation of 6,000 years old: “The Speed Of Light Has Been Slowing Down.” Barry Setterfield came up with this theory
and bases it on the claim that the older the measurements are that you get of
the speed of light (going back to the 1600s that the speed is faster such that
at creation the speed of light was almost infinite yet today is almost constant
at 185,000 mps (plus some change).
|
|
It is impossible to really
measure the slowing of the speed of light today according to this graph
because its rate of slow down has almost stopped. |
13.1. Setterfield’s critics have pointed to the inaccuracy
of taking measurements in earlier times due to imprecise instruments as well as
selectivity in the measurements he uses to look at to discredit his
theory. The scientific world with religious
fervor believes the speed of light to be a constant, and many equations that
have been proven and define the cosmos are dependent upon the speed of light to
be a constant, so it does not appear that this theory has great merit.
14.
Following Dr. Russell
Humphrey’s “Starlight And Time” hypothesis for our “cosmology”
(with my own caveats) we are now ready to look at our text from Genesis chapter
1 verses 1 through 19.
15.
VS 1:1 - “1
In
the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” - God was before everything that exists and
created the heavens and the earth
15.1. This verse tells us that everything began with “God.”
15.2. The Hebrew word translated “beginning” has the
following entry in the Enhanced Strong’s Lexicon:
7225 רֵאשִׁית [re’shiyth /ray·sheeth/]. 51
occurrences; AV translates as “beginning” 18 times, “firstfruits” 11 times,
“first” nine times, “chief” eight times, and translated miscellaneously five
times. 1 first, beginning, best,
chief. 1a beginning. 1b first. 1c chief. 1d choice part.
15.3. The Hebrew word translated ‘God’ is “Elohim,”
a word that has a plural connotation.
Right away we are introduced to the fact that God exists as One yet in multiple
individual characters such as the concept of the “Trinity” explains.
15.4. The ‘heavens’ and the ‘earth´ refers to
everything of a material nature in the universe.
16.
VS 1:2 - “2
The
earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and
the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.” - At this point in time God created a big mass
that was ‘formless and void’ and covered over by darkness, and the Spirit of
God was moving over it
|
|
A “Black Hole” of matter
consisting of water which the Lord formed on the first day of creation. |
16.1. According to Humphrey’s at this point in time God
created a “Black Hole” which was filled with water which contains the
much need hydrogen, the necessary ingredient for nuclear fusion. The radius of this “black hole” filled
with waters was several light years in size.
16.2. A number of Black Holes have been observed by
astronomers today.
16.3. Black Holes have such a huge magnetic property that
light cannot leave them and it has been observed that some light passing far
enough from a Black Hole to not be captured by it still has its light bent
around a Black Hole.
16.4. This Black Hole then would appear to be black with ‘darkness’
covering over it. From the Wikipedia
online dictionary we read the following about “Event Horizons” such as
the one which surrounded this Black Hole:
“In
general relativity, event horizon is a general term for a boundary in
spacetime, defined with respect to an observer, beyond which events cannot
affect the observer. Light emitted from beyond the horizon can never reach the
observer, and anything that passes through the horizon from the observer's side
is never seen again. A black hole is surrounded by an event horizon.”
16.5. The third person of the Trinity, “the Spirit of God”
was involved in this creation for at this point in time He was ‘moving over
the face of the waters.’ Notice that
this mass that was created is called ‘waters’ indicating that indeed
this was what everything that exists was initially created from. This also fulfills one of the verses which
earlier we stated that this theory was based upon: 2 Peter 3:5.
16.5.1.In Col. 1:16-17, we are told that every single thing
that was ever created was created by Jesus Christ. So, here in Genesis chapter one we find the
Father and the Holy Spirit involved in creation, and yet in Colossians we see
that all three persons of the Trinity were involved in the creation.
16.6. The ‘waters’ here are not the seas on the earth
nor the atmosphere on the earth, but rather they are the entire mass of matter
from which all was created. The earth’s
seas and atmosphere will come out of these ‘waters’ as will land mass
after thermonuclear fusion begins to occur.
16.7. The earth will be formed of the matter that is in the
center of this Black Hole. Here because
gravity is the greatest time and physical processes are running the slowest
there in relation to the outer reaches of the Black Hole where time is running
very fast.
17.
VS 1:3-5 - “3
Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good; and God separated
the light from the darkness. 5
God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was
evening and there was morning, one day.” - God creates
light and saw that it was good, and He separated the light from the darkness
calling the light day and the darkness night, and one day passes
17.1. At this point in time God changed the cosmological
principle and turned the black hole into a “White Hole,” which is the
inverse of a Black Hole. A “White
Hole” has been called a “Matter Fountain” as what it does is shoot
out matter. The matter that begins to be
ejected from this “White Hole” sees black before it yet it is combined
with the light that had been held captive deep within the Black Hole, and thus
the matter shines brightly as it spews out.
|
|
A spinning White Hole
ejecting matter into the universe was created on the first day of creation. |
17.2. Our verses upon which we based our cosmological
assumptions which state that the Lord stretched out the heavens are
fulfilled: Isaiah 40:21-22 and Jeremiah
10:12.
17.3. The “Event Horizon” now has begun moving
towards the center of the White Hole where the earth is.
17.4. The “White Hole” is evidently rotating as is
the light which causes a separation between the darkness and the light creating
day and night. The matter from where the
earth will be formed is still in the center of this matter and time is running slowest
at that point, whereas the matter ejected the farthest from the “White Hole”
has the least amount of gravitational pull and thus many millions of years have
already passed there.
18.
VS 1:6-8 - “6
Then God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let
it separate the waters from the waters.” 7 God made the expanse, and separated the waters
which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and
it was so. 8 God called the expanse
heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.” - God created an expanse in the midst of the
waters and separated it from the waters, and thus there was an expanse above
the waters and an expanse below the heavens, and a second day passes
18.1. In the center of this white hole, God created two
different expanses of waters, one above the other. The expanse above stretched out to the outer
reaches of the universe and the Lord refers to it as ‘heaven’ and the
expanse below will become the seas upon the earth and the land masses that will
be created from these seas.
18.1.1.Some have said that the outer expanse was a canopy of
atmosphere over the earth, one which collapses upon the earth during the flood
of Genesis. However, if that were the
case you would never be able to see the light from the stars and galaxies, or
even the earth and moon.
18.2. The “Event Horizon” has now moved ever more
closely to the earth which is at the center of this mass.
18.3. Notice here that day two passes, so the white hole
spewing light and matter must still be rotating, yet the Lord does not say that
this creation was good, as He does on each of the other days. This may be because of the fact that He is
only started with His creation of the earth.

VS 1:9-13 - “9
Then God said, “Let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one
place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so. 10 God called the dry land earth, and the gathering
of the waters He called seas; and God saw that it was good. 11 Then God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation:
plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after
their kind with seed in them”; and it was so. 12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants
yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them,
after their kind; and God saw that it was good. 13 There was evening and there was morning, a third
day.” - God separates the land mass
of earth from the seas, and sees that it is good, and then He causes
vegetation, plants, and trees to spring up on the earth bearing fruit each after
their kind, and this too is good, and day three passes
19.1. Thermonuclear fusion of the hydrogen atoms in the
water has begun in the center of this white hole on this day which causes the
various elements that are upon the earth to be formed (just as we know that new
elements today are being created by stars by their thermonuclear fusion
process). As the day proceeds the
various elements that make up the earth’s land mass begin to emerge from the
seas that directly surround them.
19.2. The thermonuclear process stops and the waters around
the land mass form the seas that are upon the earth. However, the heated magma at the center of
the earth from the fusion quickly melts the solid rock above it and huge
volcanic eruptions occur all of the earth for hours, and then they cease and
the lava cools. God sees this empty land
mass and these vacant seas of waters as being ‘good’ as they reflect the
glory of their creator.
19.3. The “Event Horizon” is now moving very close to
the earth.
19.4. God creates and plants each of the various seeds for
every species of plant, tree, and vegetation that shall inhabit the earth and
due to the great amount of light of the day and the rich oxygen and nitrogen of
the atmosphere causes them to grow up almost instantaneously and begin to bear
fruit. God sees this to be good as well
as day number three passes.
19.4.1.The largest fruit and produce found on the face of the
earth is grown in
19.4.2.An hyperbaric chamber is one that has an unusually rich
concentrate of oxygen and in one of these chambers healing that normally takes
a day can take place in a couple of hours.
In the same way, if the Lord caused the earth to be rich in oxygen and
nitrogen on this day the vegetation, plants and trees could have grown up very
fast.
19.4.3.The much greater magnetic field of the earth would
have also contributed to the rapid growth of all vegetation, plants, and trees
for we see today that magnets are being place in people’s shoes and under their
beds because natural healing and blood flow is greatly enhanced by strong
magnetic fields.
19.5. The creation of the vegetation, plants, and trees
causes the production of carbon dioxide and oxygen which will be needed when
the Lord will create the animals.

VS 1:14-19 - “14
Then God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to
separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and
for days and years; 15 and let them be for
lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was
so. 16 God made the two great
lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the
night; He made the stars also. 17 God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to
give light on the earth, 18 and to govern the day and
the night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was
good. 19 There was evening and
there was morning, a fourth day.” - God causes
the stars to shine and causes the sun and the moon to give light upon the
earth, and a fourth day passes
20.1. On the beginning of this day, God causes thermonuclear
fusion to begin to occur simultaneously all across the universe from the matter
that had begun to spew out of the white hole at the beginning of creation. Objects are attracted to either other because
of the gravitational properties of all matter, and thus stars and galaxies form
throughout the universe as thermonuclear fusion begins to occur.
20.2. Time is now passing at such an incredible rate in the
stars and galaxies that have formed furthest away from the earth that the light
from their thermonuclear fusion that begins on this day will be reach the earth
within a day or two. Meanwhile earth’s
clock is passing at the same rate that it always has passed yet relative to the
outer reaches of the universe it is passing very slow due to the fact that the
earth is now passing through the “Event Horizon” of the “White Hole.”
20.3. On this day, evidently the Lord causes the earth and
its atmosphere (“heaven”) to come into rotation around the sun since in
relation to the earth the sun’s matter and gravitation pull is millions of
times greater.
20.4. Likewise, a satellite, the earth’s “moon” has
its own land mass that has emerged, and the “moon” has come into
rotation around the earth and serves to shed some light upon the earth which is
reflected from the sun to the earth.
20.5. The sun, moon, and stars then provide for the earth
the means to tell times and seasons as well as markers from which one can
navigate.
20.6. The “Event Horizon” has now disappeared from
view never to reappear.

CONCLUSIONS:
21.1. Its not important that the “Starlight And Time” theory
that I selected concerning how God created the universe is true, what is
important is that you realize that God has the power to have created the
universe and that what He did will one day be completely understood from a
scientific perspective. The theory I
proposed merely reveals the plausibility of God’s creative works occurring just
as the Bible tells us that they occurred.
21.2. Therefore, when someone tells you that evolution
caused the species to come into existence that we see on earth or that the
Bible cannot be true because of the fact it reveals a 6,000 year old creation
and the universe is much older than this, you need to realize that God could in
fact have done just that, create a 6,000 year old earth in the midst of a
universe that is many billions of years old.
