Astronomy and the BibleA Beginner's-and Expert's-guide to the Big Bang: Sifting Facts From Fictions
7/1/2000 Big bang cosmology is an explosive topic. Heated reactions—and bitter resistance—have arisen from opposite directions in the last century but, ironically, for the same type of reasons: religious reasons. One group of big bang opponents includes those who understand the theory’s implications, and the other, those who misunderstand them. A Dark Galaxy: Finding the "Missing" Dark Stuff
10/27/2008 Many independent sets of observations confirm that only about six percent of all the ordinary matter (neutrons and protons) in the universe is made up of stars and stellar remnants.1 The other 94 percent is dark. While astronomers have verified that enormous quantities of ordinary dark matter exist as dispersed intergalactic gas, they have yet to positively identify a totally dark structure of galactic proportions. A Dime's Worth of Difference
10/1/2006 The universe is incredibly massive. Nevertheless, its mass must be spectacularly fine-tuned for life to be possible. Exactly how massive the universe is remained unknown until astronomers focused the Hubble Space Telescope on a patch of sky no bigger than a tenth the Moon's (angular) diameter, and held it there for some 278 hours. A Spectrum of Views On Eti
4/1/1998 The “Christian position” on extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI) has been a matter of debate since the time of Thomas Aquinas.1, 2 Scholars have taken sides for various biblical reasons. Those who believe ETI exists see it as a display of God’s omnipotence and creativity. Astronomical Evidences For The God Of The Bible
1/1/1992 If the universe is created and the creator is impersonal, then love, compassion, and care are merely illusions. On the other hand, if the Creator is personal, then these attributes and others such as beauty, altruism, mercy, and justice are real and meaningful. Beginning And End Of Cosmology
7/16/2007 The irony of modern-day astrophysics is that the more astronomers study the light of the universe the darker the universe appears. Study of the brightest galaxies in the universe persuaded astronomers that 99 percent of the matter in the universe was dark. And measurements of the brightest stars convinced astronomers that three times as much dark energy existed as did dark matter. Big Bang - The Bible Taught It First!
7/1/2000 Most science textbooks that address cosmology credit Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson with the discovery that the universe arose from a hot big bang creation event. While it is true that they were the first (1965) to detect the radiation left over from the creation event Big Bang Buttressed
1/1/2000 Belief that the universe was created a finite time ago by a transcendent Creator has been strengthened by evidence yet again. A new piece of astronomical research brings good news for Christians and bad news for anyone denying God’s existence or equating God with the universe itself. Big Bang Passes Big Test
4/1/2003 Atheist astrophysicist Geoffrey Burbidge once worried aloud that his peers might rush off to join "the First Church of Christ of the Big Bang."1 The rush of which he spoke was precipitated by a deluge of observational support for the big bang. Astronomers had just verified specific predictions coming from the big bang model. Today, that verification continues. The latest comes from the discovery of something called "polarized radiation" in the early universe. Big Bang Stands Firm
10/1/2002 During my school days in Vancouver, B.C., I met some really brilliant students, but none of them aced every test. I can say, though, that I have met a theory that does. The big bang has scored well on every test devised and applied by researchers over several decades, and it has just sailed through another one with flying colors. Buttressing The Distance Ladder Foundation For Cosmic Creation
7/1/2007 Not until Albert Einstein produced his theory of general relativity in 1916 did scientists even consider the possibility that the cosmos continually expands. And yet five ancient writers-Job, David, Isaiah, Jerehiah, and Zechariah-all described this expansion more than two thousand years ago. For centuries the Bible stood alone as the only text making such a claim about the universe. Compositions Of Extrasolar Planets
7/12/2010 When extrasolar gas giant planets were first discovered in 1995, many astronomers presumed these planets would prove close analogues to the gas giants in our solar system. The list of known extrasolar gas giants now stands above four hundred. Yet none of these four hundred is even remotely similar to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, or Neptune. Consistent Calculations Bolster Creation Case
4/13/2009 Opponents of big bang cosmology, both atheists and young-earth creationists, frequently attempt to push aside very compelling and overwhelming physical evidence for this biblically predicted model by picking apart the limitations on astronomers' ability to attain accurate and reliable measurements of distances to galaxies.1 Continuous Cosmic Expansion
10/1/2005 Big bang opponents are a diverse lot. Some promote an infinitely (or near infinitely) old universe to avoid a creation event in the relatively recent (roughly 14-billion-year) past. So, they argue that the universe is static or semi-static-no general cosmic expansion. Others promote a very young creation (6,000-10,000 years old) to fit a particular interpretation of Genesis 1. Cosmic Brane Scans
7/1/2002 As physicians use scanning devices to view the hidden structures and activities of the brain, astronomers can now use distant supernovae and high-resolution cosmic background radiation maps to scan the structures and properties of “branes.” Cosmic Cool Down - What Does It Mean?
4/1/2001 Not one but five writers of Scripture describe God’s “stretching out” of the heavens. From a scientist’s perspective, these ancient writers predict the twentieth-century discovery of continual cosmic expansion.1 The book of Romans tells readers that the entire creation is subject to the law of decay. Again, a scientist would see this statement as an obvious reference to the second law of thermodynamics.2 Creation Vs. Evolution: Why A Model Is Essential
8/25/2008 The public debate about teaching intelligent design has exposed widespread confusion both inside and outside the church about how the scientific enterprise operates. One of the most frequent complaints scientists make about the Intelligent Design movement is that their brand of intelligent design is not testable, falsifiable, or predictive. Defusing The Antimatter Bomb
5/19/2009 Design Of Outward Migration Of Gas Giant Planets
2/15/2010 On June 5–6, 2012, a rare solar system event will occur. Does The Probability For Eti = 1?
12/3/2007 Earlier this fall (September 25) I had a three-minute debate on Mancow’s Morning Madhouse, a nationally syndicated radio show, on the topic “Is there scientific evidence for intelligent life in the universe?” My debate opponent was Amir Aczel, a nationally known mathematician and best-selling author. Dynamics Of Hierarchical Two-planet Systems
7/5/2010 Currently, astronomers have identified over 40 multi-planet extrasolar planetary systems. Accurate data on the orbits of the planets in these systems permits researchers to address the following questions: Earth: The Champion Dynamo
9/13/2010 During my late teens some friends entered me in a dance endurance contest. Unbeknownst to me, they laid bets about how long I could go before my pace would slow down. Long after I’d worn out five dance partners and won the contest, they asked me if I was starting to tire. When I answered that I felt the same as when the contest first started I earned the nickname “Dynamo.” Extending The Reach Of Cosmic Creation Measures
6/25/2007 Continual cosmic expansion under fixed physical laws from an actual beginning of matter, energy, space, and time is the heart and soul of the biblical cosmic creation model. Moreover, the physical constants that govern cosmic expansion, namely dark energy and the cosmic mass density, provide the most spectacular confirmed scientific evidence for the supernatural design of the universe for the benefit of humanity. Extraordinary Evidence For Expansion
8/26/2009 Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. This saying, popularized by the late Carl Sagan, represents a useful attitude to maintain when confronted with revolutionary claims. For example, if some group were to claim that a previously unknown property of space caused it to expand more quickly as space grew larger, that group should produce compelling evidence to support the claim. Facing Up To Big Bang Challenges
1/1/2001 What danger lurks in associating big bang cosmology with biblical cosmology? Most Christian physicists, astronomers, and other scientists would say, “None.” Many Christian philosophers, theologians, pastors, and other nonscientists would say, “A big one.” Gas Clouds Found Sans Metals
1/16/2012 Recent observational efforts... provide direct confirmation of the standard big bang model. Gravitational Lens Measurements Yield New Cosmic Creation Test
6/18/2007 The heart and soul of the biblical cosmic creation model calls for continual cosmic expansion under fixed physical laws from an actual beginning of matter, energy, space, and time. For over two thousand years the Bible stood alone as the only text making such claims about the universe. Not until Albert Einstein produced his theory of general relativity in 1916 did scientists even consider the possibility of continual cosmic expansion. Gravitational Lens Test For Creation
10/1/2008 How Far Tells How Old
7/1/2000 The strength of cosmologists’ model for the origin and development of the universe rests in part on the certainty of astronomers’ distance measurements to stars and galaxies. The only direct measurements researchers have had for stellar distances are those based on trigonometry (specifically, a method called “trigonometric parallaxes”). Is Astrobiology Research Based On A Mistake?
10/15/2010 Caleb Scharf, director of Columbia University’s multidisciplinary Astrobiology Center, writes a wonderfully informative blog entitled Life, Unbounded. The topics of Scharf’s posts sometimes parallel those of RTB’s blog posts on Today’s New Reasons to Believe. For example, compare Scharf’s “The Fountains of Earth,” “Artificial Life: Some Assembly Required,” and “Retrograde Planets” with these RTB entries, respectively, here, here, and here. Is The Big Bang Biblical?
January 1, 2010 Hugh Ross proclaims in the lead article (“Rotation Limits Yield Evidence for Creation”) that the big bang creation model was first described in the Bible thousands of years ago. Let’s take a closer look at this statement. Making Massive Stars
2/18/2009 Twinkle, twinkle little star, Milky Way Galaxy’s Tiny Black Hole
9/1/2008 Through a variety of means astronomers have determined that a black hole exists at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. The latest and most definitive measurement puts the mass of that black hole at 3,6000,000 times the mass of the Sun. Most Detailed Map Of Cosmic Background Radiation Confirms Biblical Creation Model
7/1/2006 A team of American and Canadian astronomers dramatically strengthened the case for a big bang creation (thoroughly biblical1) when they released the latest map of radiation left over from the cosmic origin event.2 The team made public their analysis based on three years' continuous observations of that cosmic background radiation via satellite-the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP). New Astronomical Proofs For The Existence Of God
1/1/1998 "It really does matter, and matters very much, how we think about the cosmos," declares historian and college president Dr. George Roche. Immanual Kant, for example, posited an infinitely old and infinitely large universe. Such a universe Kant reasoned might permit an infinite number of random chances. Thus even such highly improbable events as atoms self-assembling into human beings might be possible. God, then, becomes unnecessary. Outward Migration Of Gas Giant Planets
1/4/2010 A new analysis uncovers yet more evidence for the uniquely designed characteristics of our solar system’s suite of planets that make advanced life possible on Earth. Planet Earth: The Largest Possible Habitat?
7/26/2010 When I first moved to California the enormity of peoples’ homes surprised me. It seemed to me that “California dreamin’” was the quest to own a home with as many square feet as possible. Plate Tectonics Design
4/4/2011 The phrase “a hard nut to crack” aptly describes coconuts, Brazil nuts, and spies trained to resist interrogation. A new research study by Yale University geophysicist Jun Korenaga demonstrates that planets are hard to crack, too. In fact, planets are much harder to crack than planetary astronomers presumed previously. Predictive Power: Confirming Cosmic Creation
4/1/2002 Scientists focus enormous effort on turning detections (observations and measurements) into predictions. Meteorologists use data to predict temperatures, wind, and precipitation. Astronomers use data to predict meteor showers and eclipses. Relativity Reaffirms Creation Doctrine
7/1/1999 Though Christians sometimes mistake relativity (a physics term) for relativism (a philosophical term), relativity powerfully testifies of divine creation.1 How? Einstein’s theory of general relativity tells us that space, time, matter and energy all have a finite beginning, a statement uniquely consistent with the biblical doctrine of creation.2 Resolving Faint Sun Paradoxes, Part 1
7/11/2011 A “paradox” is not two articles residing on your computer. Nor is it two PhDs. Rather, it is an apparent contradiction for which known facts must provide some resolution. In science, resolving a paradox almost always results in a much deeper understanding of the record of nature and often produces additional evidence for supernatural design. New and developing discoveries are yielding both for the faint Sun paradox that has intrigued astronomers—and should have plagued evolutionary biologists—for the past 40 years. Resolving Faint Sun Paradoxes, Part 2
7/18/2011 First articulated in the early 1970s, the faint Sun paradox (also known as the faint young Sun paradox) reveals that the Sun today is about 30 percent brighter than it was when life originated on Earth 3.8 billion years ago. The question then is how did life survive the radical change in the Sun’s luminosity? Resolving Faint Sun Paradoxes, Part 3
7/25/2011 by Dr. Hugh Ross I will describe how recent observations of young solar analog stars enabled astronomers to pull together everything they know about the history of the Sun, Earth, Moon, and terrestrial life to provide a real, comprehensive resolution to the paradox. Speed Of Gravity Measured, Scripture Validated
4/1/2003 General relativity and the biblical creation model received yet another boost on January 8, 2003, at the 201st meeting of the American Astronomical Society. The boost came from an announcement of the first-ever measurement of the speed of gravity.1 Spin-orbit Misalignment Of Extrasolar Planets
9/20/2010 In 1995, astronomers detected, for the first time, planets outside the solar system . At the time, many researchers expressed great optimism that most, if not all, exoplanets would prove to be close analogues to those in our solar system. The list of known extrasolar gas giant planets now stands at 490. Yet none of these exoplanets can be identified as a twin to any of the solar system planets and none reside in a planetary system where advanced life could possibly exist on another planet. Testing Cosmic Creation Models, Part 1
4/21/2008 At two different outreach events this past month I met both atheists and young-earth creationists who expressed skepticism concerning the evidence I presented for the biblically predicted big bang creation model. Testing Cosmic Creation Models, Part 2
4/28/2008 In my previous contribution to Today’s New Reason To Believe I described how Bayesian statistical analysis by two Polish researchers on the latest measurements defining the history of the universe had yielded additional scientific evidence for the biblically predicted big bang creation model. Thank God For Jupiter
7/19/2010 I spent most of my childhood in Vancouver, British Columbia. On those rare winter days when we did get snow it was wet and slushy. Consequently, getting hit by a snowball in Vancouver was a much more unpleasant experience than in other parts of Canada. I quickly learned the value of building a strong snow fort before getting involved in a snowball fight. The Christmas Star
12/1/2002 For centuries scholars and laymen alike have speculated on the nature of the star that led the wise men from the east to seek out the Messiah that had come to the Jews. The only reliable account of this event is found in Matthew 2 of the Bible. The Dark And Bright Sides Of Cosmology
10/1/2007 Astrophysics has its ironies. Here’s one: Studies of the brightest galaxies in the universe led to the discovery that 99 percent of all matter is "dark matter".1 But matter is only part of the universe (about a fourth). The rest is energy. Adding irony to irony, research focusing on the brightest stars in the universe shows that "dark energy" is far more abundant than dark matter, making up most of the rest of the universe. The Invisible Majority: Systems Without Gas Giants
11/22/2010 Coined in the nineteenth century, the phrase “silent majority” referred to the dead and the fact that the number of people who have died far outnumbers the people who are alive. In 1969, President Richard Nixon called upon “the silent majority” for support, defining this group as the great majority of Americans who, having not joined in the large public demonstrations against the Vietnam War or in the counterculture movement, were invisible to the media. The Physics Of Sin
1/1/2002 "What difference does it make? As long as I'm not hurting anyone else, I should be able to live with my girlfriend." "I never loved my wife. Don't I deserve to be happy?" "I needed that money more than he did, so it's okay that I took it. Besides, he owes me for the time when…" The Remarkable Design Of The Solar System’s Turbulent Youth, Part 1
5/30/2011 Among all species, humans are unique in that we, as individuals, take an exceptionally long time to develop physically and mentally. Human males do not reach full physical maturity until the age of twenty-four. Educational training can take even longer; in my case it took until age thirty to complete all my education and post-doctorate research. The Remarkable Design Of The Solar System’s Turbulent Youth, Part 2
6/6/2011 In part 1 of this series on the solar system’s youth I described the solar system’s exquisitely fine-tuned birthing experience. Here, in part 2, I will describe amazing events that took place in the solar system’s toddlerhood. As with the solar system’s birthing experience, these events had to be perfectly fine-tuned in order for advanced life on Earth to have a chance. The Remarkable Design Of The Solar System’s Turbulent Youth, Part 3
6/13/2011 More and more research shows that it’s one thing for the solar system to support unicellular life; it’s quite another matter to reach the ability to host advanced life. Supporting human civilization presents even more daunting requirements. The major events that took place between about 30 million to a billion years after the solar system’s birth present a picture of exquisite fine-tuning necessary for humanity’s existence. The Remarkable Design Of The Solar System’s Turbulent Youth, Part 4
6/20/2011 This week, I will pick up where I left off in part 3 and discuss a turbulent time in Earth’s history known as the Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB), a relatively brief episode that occurred 700 million years after the solar system planets formed, during which hundreds of thousands of asteroids and comets bombarded Mars, Earth, the Moon, Venus, and Mercury. The Remarkable Design Of The Solar System’s Turbulent Youth, Part 5
6/27/2011 Everyone knows our teenage years can be turbulent—yet they also shape us and equip us for adulthood. Likewise, the solar system’s youth, wild as it was, prepared the way for advanced life, particularly humanity, to exist on Earth. This TNRTB series is devoted to exploring the different stages of the solar system’s youth. The Remarkable Design Of The Solar System’s Turbulent Youth, Part 6
7/4/2011 The solar system’s youth was a busy one—full of fine-tuned activity. In the previous five parts of this series I’ve described several of the major milestones of the solar system’s early years. Tiny, Old Black Hole Shrinks The Braneworld
1/25/2010 In previous centuries, headhunting tribes used exotic techniques to shrink the severed heads of their victims Tolman's Elegant Test
1/1/2002 The cosmic characteristic most extensively described in the Bible is the ongoing expansion of the universe. No other holy book of the world's religions describes this feature, nor was it anticipated by secular scholars before the development of Einstein's theory of general relativity. Vexing Implications
10/1/2002 “Disturbing Implications of a Cosmological Constant,” announced the title of a recent paper on the Los Alamos National Laboratory Web site.1 So “disturbing” were the paper’s findings that within a few days the British journal Nature ran an online commentary on them as well. Was evidence mounting against a naturalistic model for the beginning of the universe? Watching The Universe Grow Up
4/1/2006 Among the vast expanses of the cosmos, humanity resides on an amazing planet with remarkable conditions for observing the birth and expansion of the universe. It seems as though a purposeful Designer has allowed human civilization and technology to develop so that the Designer's work can be studied in exquisite detail. What’s So Special About Jupiter And Saturn?
9/27/2010 It was 1980. I was scheduled to speak in what was then an extremely violent part of Soweto, South Africa. Five burly men joined me in a car ride to the event; I sat in the middle of the back seat and was instructed by my companions to “keep my head down.” The reasoning was that if any bullets or other projectiles penetrated the car my companions would absorb the damage and thereby keep me safe. Where Is The Cosmic Density Fine-tuning?
7/23/2007 In addressing audiences about the fine-tuning of the cosmic expansion rate, I have used the illustration that adding or subtracting a single dime to the mass of the observable universe would be enough of a change to make physical life impossible. Why The Universe Is The Way It Is
1/1/2006 In the best-selling science book of all time, author Stephen Hawking explains that no human is content until he or she has complete answers to the following questions: "What is the nature of the universe? What is our place in it and where did it and we come from? Why is it the way it is?" Wmap Offers Spectacular Proof of Creation Events
4/1/2003 Preliminary results from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) have stirred great excitement among physicists.1 Radiometers on board the satellite are sending NASA researchers by far the most detailed maps to date of the radiation left over from the cosmic creation event—specifically of the temperature fluctuations in that radiation.
