Science & Bible Agree: Expanding Universe Had Early Beginning

February 6, 2018 BibleAuthenticity Comments 42 comments

In the last 100 years, science has discovered that the universe is expanding. However, the men who wrote the Bible spoke of this concept when it was written about 2,500–3,500 years ago. But many people believe the Bible and science contradict one another, primarily because of the unscriptural assertions of “Young-Earth Creationism” (the earth and the universe were created in six 24-hour days about 6,000). Is this really so? Let’s examine some basic scientific concepts about the universe, and see how they compare to what the Bible says. read more

The Universe is Expanding Rapidly, at an Ever Increasing Rate

On Monday, June 21, 1999, the Tallahassee Democrat published a newspaper article entitled: “Universe is expanding rapidly, at ever increasing rate.” A scan of the article can be view below:

This discovery surprised scientists back in 1998. Being generally agnostic or atheistic, they don’t much like this. Why? Because as Stephen Hawking said, it has “religious overtones and implications.” Why? Because, as he said, the universe is confirmed to be “expanding at the critical rate.” That is, not only to continue expanding at an ever increasing rate, but at just exactly the precise rate to go on expanding forever. There is no way this could happen by accident, or without a guiding hand – in other words, by a “Creator” (Isaiah 42:5). read more

“How the Universe can expand if there is no extra space?”

February 13, 2017 BibleAuthenticity Comments 0 Comment

On February 13, 2017, BBC published an article entitled “How the Universe can expand if there is no extra space.”

The 2017 BBC Earth article asserted that the universe is not expanding into an external void. Instead, it explained that the “fabric” of space itself is stretching, meaning there is no outside edge or extra space for the universe to grow into.]

DO WE REALLY UNDERSTAND THE UNIVERSE?

As God asked Job 3,500 years ago: “Have you grasped the celestial laws?” (Job 38:33 NJB)

We know much more today than Job did then, but our answer would also be: “not really.”

However, the Bible does enlighten us far beyond science, although we appreciate good science.

Is the Universe Slowly Dying?

August 11, 2015 BibleAuthenticity Comments 0 Comment

There is a MSN article from 2015 that claims the universe is slowly dying as old stars fade faster than new ones are born.

These discoveries serve to prove the Bible as being right when it says the universe had a beginning (Genesis 1:1). The obvious reason that stars are not being formed at the same rate as in the past is that the universe had to be kick-started from zero or nothing to a full-blown universe in a relatively short time – by the standards of the universe, that is.

This is similar to, in some ways, your starting your vehicle from a standstill and quickly accelerating to top highway speeds, for example. Obviously, much less gasoline is used to maintain a highway speed as opposed to attaining highway speed from a standstill. The rate of star formation while slowing down is still taking place, that is the key point. read more
