The Big Bang theory suggests the
universe originated with a big burst of light energy, creating and beginning
the evolution of everything we now witness as the universe.
Bonkers!
Where else in existence is there scientific evidence of a burst of light or an
explosion spontaneously creating anything from scratch/nothing?! While light is
proven to stimulate growth, there
must be something there to grow, or nothing will ensue. And of
course, there must be a source of light. Ahh, the foolishness of the
human mind apart from the Wisdom of God!
What is the universe? Is it the
cumulative total of all the physical planets, moons, solar systems, galaxies,
black holes, etc., OR the light that illuminates all of these? When science
says the universe is immeasurable because it is expanding continually, does
this refer to the movement or continued creation of more planets, moons, solar
systems, galaxies, black holes, etc., OR does this refer to the
continuing/unstoppable voyage of that initial burst of light God released when
He said, ‘LIGHT, BE!’?
Genesis 1:1-5 clearly revealed God first
(1st) created ALL the
heavenly bodies, THEN He turned on the light(s). The light itself did not create
anything. It merely illuminated what He had already created and set in motion.
Here is my edited recount (in
parenthesis) of Genesis 1:1-5:
In the beginning God created (all)
the heavens (heavenly bodies) and (including) the Earth. The Earth
was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the
Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, ‘Let
there be light’; and there was light (that began its unending voyage out
from Him, illuminating all that He created, traveling at the speed of 186,000
miles per second since then). And God saw the light, that it was good; and (in
the Earth and other heavenly bodies) God divided the light from the
darkness (by setting His creation mostly in a counter-clockwise rotation,
with most heavenly bodies rotating counterclockwise around their own axis, and
planets around their sun). * God called the
light Day (when half of a heavenly body faces its sun), and the darkness
He called Night (when half of a heavenly body faces away from its sun).
So the evening and the morning were the first day.
How’s that for a day’s work?!
I used to think this Light began from
a single, physical point in the universe, and spread ‘360 degrees to the power
of 360 degrees’ – i.e., every conceivable direction. I now envision that, in
creating the heavens, God also created the great gaseous, initially unlit
suns across the entire darkened universe, and then, with His command, ‘LIGHT
BE!’ He SIMULTANEOUSLY IGNITED THEM ALL!!! Ok, to the naked eye, this
might be interpreted as some form of ‘big bang’, but to me, it is simply my
great, big God turning on the lights to
illuminate His day’s work!
Please share this post with the science-leaning minds you
know,
just in case it may give them a brief pause for
reflection.
