This theory is from Dr. Russell Humphrey about how God created
the heavens and the earth.
The nucleosynthesis theory is awesome but don't take it as a fact!
During the creation week God could have created a different kind of “big bang” theoretically.

If you believe God created the universe, then you can’t
believe the order of events of the big bang.
But Christians should realize we are not a threat to science we are a
threat to the atheistic views behind secular science.
This theory is not the same as the big bang but it has
similarities. Both theories start as a dot
full of matter and energy. But just
where did gravity come from to hold the dot together? I believe it came from God. God
created gravity and he held the dot of matter and energy together.
This is part of the creation week with the nucleo synthesis
theory applied. On day 1 God was over
the face of the deep. The “deep” was physically
water but the writer who saw this vision of history would not have been able to
see the water it was dark. But he could tell it was “deep”. All of
light and matter could be very tightly fit into a massive ball or “dot” of
water 2 light years wide and thick all around!
The intense pressure upon the ball would technically be called
a black hole. A black hole is a hole
where light and matter is crushed into a really tight ball like a pin
hole. There had been discovery and
research about the expansion of the beginning of the universe. And as most people know the universe is expanding.
More importantly than the research are the verses in the
bible that state he stretches out the heavens. Psalm 104:2
Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who
stretches out the heavens like a curtain.
Translation: God is expanding the universe. If more Christians knew the creation week
could be scientific then it would definitely benefit the church.
Anyway back to day one, we have a black hole that God
created. The tremendous compression
would raise the temperature and density to enormous values. The water molecules of hydrogen and oxygen were
ripped apart and ionized into separate elementary particles. Some elements fused into light. Then thermonuclear fusion reactions would
occur producing huge amounts of light.
(I am imagining huge star globs and water mixed together.) The earth was
merely a small region of water at the center of a much larger ball of water,
the deep.
This would be a black hole turning into a white
hole. Light would be pouring out of it. It can also be called a “white fountain” a
more poetic name.
All the light and
matter comes out but it can never come back in and it is slowly emptied and
eventually disappeared.
That would have
been the alternative “big bang.”
Then God said let
there be light. And there was light. Then
he made the light and darkness separate.
On day 2 He separated the water that was below the expanse
and above the expanse. The water is not just the atmosphere. Consider Psalm 148: praise him waters that
are above the heavens! Heavens is not
just the sky That means there is water above space, containing space. Imagine a huge layer of water around
interstellar space. By now it would be a
layer of ice
On the 3rd day he made the land from elements on
the water. The land was a mixture of minerals
like silicon, iron, magnesium, calcium, oxegeon and others. Then he
made everything that belongs on the land like plants. At this time the water below would have become
continents and sees of our planet. So, during the creation week the earth would
have been at the center of the universe.
It as well as our galaxy has probably drifted since then. 2nd peter3:5 …the earth was formed
out of the water and by water-
On the 4th day God let space expand. Then he made the planets and stars from
clusters of light and elements. God
mostly stopped the expansion but it still continues to expand slightly because
of the “all energy expanding or decreasing”- the second law of Thermodynamics.
The big bang was not just an explosion. God bound and subdued all the matter into his
creation. Matter didn’t just fly into
order by itself.
Staggering mathematics
certainly help the nucleosythesis theory. It obviously supports the biblical view of the creation week so I wouldn't conceal it from anybody. If you want to learn more and see the
equations read “Starlight and Time” by
Dr Humphrey. Most importantly read the
bible. =)

Awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh, and about the water... Creationist astronomers accurately predicted the strength of the magnetic fields of all the planets in our solar system by assuming that God originally made all of the planets out of water and then transmuted them into the elements they are now. Their predictions were spot on; whereas the old-earth evolutionary predictions were WAAAY off. Pretty cool stuff... it's amazing to think of all matter having started out as water!
A really good book that deals a lot with astronomy and creation week is "Refuting Compromise" by Dr. Jonathan Sarfati. It's really good; I highly recommend it!
I know, it's really amazing! Oh! I also meant to make this point! - The universe could have started 2 light years thick and when it exploded the stars and light spread farther and farther out, but the light was already viewable from earth. The light wasn’t so far out that it had to take billions of years to travel to earth!
DeleteI'll have to read "Refuting Compromise." It sounds good. Thanks!
