How did Galaxies Form?

30 Doradus in LMCLook at this 2009 photo from Hubble's Wide Field Camera-3. Photo credit NASA. The bright cluster of hot, blue stars is 30 Doradus in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a satellite of the Milky Way. (The Magellanic galaxies are called clouds because that is what they look like to the naked eyes.) Recent observations by Fermi's LAT show that 30 Doradus is the brightest gamma source in the LMC. Gamma-rays in space are associated with high proton and electrons collisions. The LMC gamma-ray map shows an elongated jet that extends north from 30 Doradus, about as long as half the diameter of the galaxy. The gamma jet ends in two glowing globs. Evidently 30 Doradus is not only emitting energetic particles, but has been doing so for ages. Scientists believe that the LMC is a 'star nursery' where new stars form. They imagine that when high speed particles smash into space clouds, it produces second generation stars.

According to the Bible, stars do not die! Isaiah 40:26 "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." Why are biblical pronouncements about cosmic so radically history different from scientific claims? Peter wrote that the first, the most important, thing to know is that in the last days false teachers will come saying 'all things remain the same'. That is the metaphysical assumption, invented by a Greek, upon which Western science was founded. The Bible states the opposite: that the creation is in bondage to phthora. The Greek philosophers used the word phthora for the process whereby all things continue to change.

We can see the past all the way back to the creation age. We see that all matter keeps on changing relationally. (Relational changes are not serially linked because the properties of atoms visibly change in parallel, together.) The most powerful evidence for biblical physics is how the galaxies formed. Not a single ancient galaxy shone with the light of perpetual motion atoms. The earliest galaxies were naked globs that shone at tiny fractions of the light frequencies of modern atoms. At closer ranges, we see strings of equally space star globs surrounding the primordial cores. We follow at many ranges how the stars accelerated out. Galaxies visibly grew from the insides outwards - into huge, local, growth spirals, Visually, in billions of galaxies at many ranges (eras), we confirm that the atomic clocks and the star orbits accelerate together. Indeed, the Magellanic clouds are evidence for biblical cosmic history. The Bible states that God calls the stars to come out, that He spreads out the heavens in unbroken continuity. The Magellanic clouds are linked to the south pole of the Milky Way by a long steam of neutral hydrogen. Evidently they were ejected from the Milky Way and the hydrogen stream is the wake they left as them moved out. We can see in the distant universe equally spaced galaxies in chains, the formative stage for galaxy clusters. Our ancestors even measured a spreading out solar system over the centuries with angles, the only precision measuring unit that is not tied to the assumption that the properties of matter are not emerging.

Carefully consider the evidence for biblical physics. Biblical physics is not mathematical nor does it define precison symbols for matter and time with measuring operations. Yet we confirm biblical physics with the light from the long ago universe. We can see a literal biblical cosmic history because we see the past exactly as it looked long ago. What we see only fits biblical physics. It cannot be made to fit science, because science was built on the assumption the Bible predicted for the false teachers of the last days. Test the first principle of science.
