Biblical
Cosmology is Visible
The world has about six billion people, but only a little more than a
thousand cosmologists.
Cosmology is a branch of astronomy; however, cosmologist do not peer
through telescopes.
Instead they tell stories about beginnings. It takes years
of difficult study to
qualify as a cosmologist because they interpret the universe
with the laws of physics and difficult-to-make measurements.
Why can't ordinary people, untrained in mathematical physics,
understand the history of the
universe? After all, the history of the universe is the
only visible
history. Since the universe is
vast beyond measure, the speed of light is finite and the space between
galaxy clusters is vacuous,
we see the past at many ranges. We
see the history of the universe from the creation to the
present. The Bible even states that the heavens teach knowledge of
God's great glory, His universe. Since taxpayers paid for the
telescopes, they are entitled to look
at the
pictures of the early universe. The
telescopes gather light from hundreds of
billions, perhaps trillions, of
galaxies. Countless galaxies show, at many ranges, the non mathematical
visible history of the cosmos.
Yet cosmologists tell preposterous mathematical stories. A
tiny bit of vacuum exploded and created
everything out of nothing (the big bang). The explosion
created a
never-detected space-time that stretches the vacuum of space and
adjusts the frequencies of all light traveling through the
void (cosmological expansion). Galaxies contain invisible black holes
from which light can't escape, but streams
of matter can. The void contains vastly more invisible dark matter than
visible stuff. In order for
the vacuous space-time to keep on stretching out the void, it keeps
drawing dark
energy from the vacuum. Space
time allegedly accelerates galaxies to close to the speed of light,
even as they stand
still. There is nothing more absurd that the myths cosmologists weave
with their mathematics.
Yet
we see the history of the universe. We
see how early galaxies spread out in equally
spaced chains. We see at many ranges, how little globs of stars
move out, rotate
out, accelerate out as billions of galaxies grew. They grew from tiny,
naked objects packed densely with
stars to great, dusty, spread-out, local, growth spirals. The
highly magnified orange galaxy at right is an ancient tadpole galaxy in
the Hubble
Ultra Deep. The bright yellow glob is the galactic core. The tail is
made up of a chain of star clusters. The atoms in this ancient galaxy
shine at 16 % of the frequencies clocked by local, modern atoms. When
we compare innumerable galaxies at many ranges, we see that atomic
clocks
always
accelerate their clock frequencies throughout cosmic history. We can be
sure that the properties of all atoms are indeed changing because the
star
orbits and the atomic clocks
both accelerate as the arms of spiral
galaxies spiral outward, accelerating without lapping.
Here is a closer spiral galaxy, HUDF #3031,
which is
not as highly magnified. The light from this
ancient 
two-armed spiral galaxy gleams at 42 % the light
frequencies
of modern atoms.
It has a central bar, two globular arms that have
rotated
around less than half a turn.
Later, closer, spiral galaxies have arms that have rotated around
more, have spread out more and are more continuous. The visible
evidence from billions of galaxies
violates the scientific definitions of mass and time
since it violates the basic creed of all scientists, the
assumption that matter does not change its properties as it ages. It
is not surprising that the visible evidence contradicts the formulas,
laws and most of the ways of
measuring used by cosmologists.
Biblical physics uses no complex
mathematics. It does not
define units of measuring with the assumption that atoms are perpetual
motion
machines. Biblical
physics is simple. Its law is that everything in the universe is
phthora - fundamentally changing.
Countless galaxies show that perpetual motion atoms are not found in
our
universe. We see with optics a biblical cosmic history - as described
by Hebrew words in the Bible. When we compare countless ancient
galaxies, we see that
matter is always changing its properties. Billions of galaxies defy the
laws of physics as they grow and spread out. Such things could not
happen unless Aristotle's basic assumption is false. Aristotle's
assumption, that the properties of matter are fixed, not emergent, is
the historical foundation for Western science.
The God of the Bible
states "Surely My hand founded
the earth, and My right hand spread
out
the heavens. When I call
to them, they stand
together." (Isaiah 48:13)
This verse has four
Hebrew verbs. The founding, establishing,
beginning of the earth is qal perfect - a completed
action. He only founded the Earth
once. The extending of the
heavens is piel perfect - an intensive, deliberate, completed action. He put each galaxy in their original place
only once. The next verb is qal active participle.
The summoning, calling, commissioning,
appointing of the heavens and
the earth is an active action that continues in unbroken continuity.
The verb for arising, appearing, coming on the scene, standing
forth is qal imperfect - an action that is incomplete. He made the earth and the heavens once. Yet
he continually calls, summons them to appear on the scene, to spread
out from their original sites, to take quick little steps as they
spread out in the raqiya - the spreading out place. This is indeed what
we see, the spreading out of galaxy clusters and the continual growing
of individual galaxies.
We see countless stars continually standing forth, continually coming
out, continually spreading out,
taking up more volume as billions of galaxies grew. We see the simple,
visible evidence that the earth was once a minuscule planet and has
continuously spread out along a global, volcanic, under-sea
expansion seam. The continents only fit together on a minuscule planet.
He created once but he
continues to change what He made. Every atom in the whole universe
visibly and continuously changes just as one would expect from biblical
physics.
Yet scientists use their concept of perpetual
motion atoms to even
define their units of measuring. The Bible
predicts that in the
last days false teachers will come saying panta outos diamenei - all
things remain the same in being. Peter even mentions that they would
obfuscate (Greek
lanthano) the evidence from the heavens with this idea. We must be in
the last days because every science teacher today implies with their
teaching that matter
does not change in being, change relationally as it ages.
"Lift up your eyes on high And see who has
created
these stars. The One who leads forth their host by number, He calls
them all by name: Because of the greatness of His might and the
strength
of his power, Not one of them is missing." (Isaiah 40:26)
The command to lift up your eyes and look is in
the imperative. Look at the heavens. We see the simple, visible
evidence for
biblical
physics and biblical cosmic history. Look at the heavens and glorify
the great God who even reduces science to nonsense. He did not deceive
them. He made a universe where every atom is always relationally
changing its
properties throughout cosmic history. How great will be
the triumph of the Bible over science.
