Science and the Bible Agree: The Universe Had a Beginning Long Ago, and is Expanding

February 6, 2018 BibleAuthenticity Comments 42 comments

Expanding universe — If the universe is expanding, it had a beginning. The Bible tells us what happened in the beginning, and why.

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 2,000- 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). 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

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

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.

“Yahweh, my God, how great you are! … You stretch out the heaven like a tent.” (Psalm 104:1-2 NJB) read more

Universe not dying as headline sensationalizes

August 11, 2015 BibleAuthenticity Comments 0 Comment

There is a new MSN article that says that the universe is slowly dying as old stars fade faster than new ones are born. The article can be read here.

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. read more
