This makes a designed/created universe more reasonable than believing the billions of years ideas! “Theoreticians have, historically, been concerned about answering the faint young sun paradox, but there is growing realisation that the hypothetical early Earth would have faced a very hostile environment from solar superflares, extreme coronal mass ejections, and very harmful radiation storms. While some have tried to turn this to their advantage, the evidence...
Read MoreMagical Dark Matter
“Although astronomers deduced the existence of dark matter apart from the Big Bang model, this substance has become very important to secular cosmologists. They recognize the enormous problems in their theories of star and galaxy formation. Many claim dark matter is the “missing ingredient” that can somehow enable their theories to work.19 This is very convenient for theorists. Since no one knows what dark matter is—or even if it really exists—no one can demonstrate...
Read MoreThe Young Faint Sun Paradox – a Big Problem
The Young Faint Sun Paradox – a big problem for the billions-of-years models! It goes like this: As the sun ages, it should be getting brighter and more intense and thus heating the Earth more and more. So 3.8 billion years ago, the Earth should have been colder – aka an ice planet! This is not conducive for the primordial soups and the warmer temperatures required for billions of years of evolution! Read more here:...
Read MoreThe Sun is Young!!
“Contrary to the figure of 4.5 billion years, recent studies provide strong evidence for a young sun. Keith Davies in an article entitled, “Evidences for a Young Sun” from the Institute for Creation Research (http://www.icr.org/article/evidence-for-young-sun) reports on a study by Russian astronomers employing measurements of star oscillations used to predict the size of their cores (if the oscillating period is long, the core is young and not as big, as the core...
Read MoreDoes the Evidence within Astronomy Fit with Billions of Years of Natural Changes?
“Consider the formation of stars, galaxies and our solar system. They supposedly formed from gas and dust clouds clumping together, rather than dispersing. But no model can successfully simulate this—and definitely not in a way that puts the sun rotating at 7° from the planets’ orbits in our star system. For almost every solar system body, the magnetic field strength is a surprise. Mercury shouldn’t have a magnetic field (but it does); surely Venus and Mars should...
Read MoreThe Apparent Age of the Stars and a Young Earth
The Bible indicates the universe is young but why does it appear so old? Physicist, Dr. Russell Humphreys studied this problem for about 12 years. His professional career as a scientist at Sandia Laboratories includes investigating various aspects of nuclear energy which requires a thorough understanding of relativity theory. His answer to the problem is based upon Einstein’s prediction that clocks run at different rates. The rate that a clock records time has been...
Read MoreThe Heavens Declare God’s Glory – 2001
Have you even been struck with awe and wonder on a clear, starlit night? There is something special about the stars that lift our eyes heavenward and our thoughts beyond every day cares. Somehow, in a very real way, God reveals His Glory in the heavens. In our modern world of cities, smog, and electric lights, we can often go for weeks without gazing at the stars; but I suspect it wasn’t that way in times past. For settlers scattered on the plains of the American west,...
Read MoreGreat is our God
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shewest his handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. (Psalsm 19:1-3) As a child, few things jarred my awareness for the existence of God more than a clear summer’s night sky. The incomprehensible vastness and peaceful sparkling beauty testified of an all-wise, all-powerful God. The Bible states that on the fourth...
Read MoreLight From Distant Stars
Opponents of a literal interpretation of Genesis 1 often state, “Given the size of the universe and the speed of light, it would take the light billions of years to reach the earth. Therefore the universe can’t be young. If it was, we couldn’t even see most of the stars.” How can a young-age creationist answer this challenge? First we believe that God is powerful enough to create a universe that can be seen! How He did this, we may never know. Some suggest that the...
Read MoreThe Heavens Declare God’s Glory
Children wonder and scientists theorize, but Scripture too speaks of the stars, and gives some interesting information that ancient people would have no way of knowing apart from revelation. Scientists estimate there are over 10 million billion billion stars. Isn’t it interesting that long before telescopes were invented when people still thought they could actually number the stars, the Bible talked about the stars being too many to be counted! Even if you could count 20...
