The big bang creation event—as taught by the Bible for centuries — now stands well established by astronomers' observations of the universe.
Big BangTranslating Genesis 1:1: Aristotle Or the Big Bang? Part 1 (of 2)3/5/2010 What role should scientific theories play in translating the Bible? A Beginner's-and Expert's-guide to the Big Bang: Sifting Facts From Fictions7/1/2000 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 Stuff10/27/2008 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 Difference10/1/2006 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. Active Galactic Nuclei: A New Standard Candle1/2/2012 The ability to test, in detail, the properties of the universe during its early epochs has huge implications for establishing the validity of the Christian faith. Another Dwarf Galaxy Test Of Big Bang Cosmology4/27/2009 Recent astronomical research has accounted for a "missing galaxies problem" and thereby buttressed the notion of a cosmic creation event according to what the Bible has taught for centuries. This big bang creation model is now well established by astronomers' observations of the universe. Another Success for General Relativity1/1/1999 Anyone who has read either technical or non-technical books about twentieth-century developments in physics knows the significance of general relativity. As I seek to explain in The Creator and the Cosmos and Beyond the Cosmos, general relativity establishes a cosmic beginning, hence a Beginner. General relativity affirms that the universe is a dynamic entity, not a static infinitude as several earlier generations of scientists and philosophers had come to believe it. 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 Buttressed1/1/2000 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 Test4/1/2003 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 Firm10/1/2002 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. Birth Date Of Old Star Confirms Universe's Age6/20/2007 Most of us have received a bit of information at one time or another that seemed too bizarre to be true. If we hear the information from only one source, skepticism is the appropriate response. However, if multiple, unrelated sources provide corroborating information, the reliability of the information increases dramatically. Black Holes, Singularities, And Wormholes4/1/2001 From a realistic rather than science fiction perspective, the wormhole question is moot. Since black holes are relatively rare, the probability that the singularities of two spatially distant black holes would come into contact is virtually zero, as is the probability that any possible wormhole would lie in a location useful for alien space travel. Buttressing The Distance Ladder Foundation For Cosmic Creation7/1/2007 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. Cepheid Variable Stars6/22/2009 Not until Albert Einstein produced his theory of general relativity in 1916 did scientists even consider the possibility of continual cosmic expansion. Yet six different Bible authors wrote extensively and explicitly about this continual expansion, “the stretching out of the heavens” under fixed physical laws. Confirming Cosmic Expansion, Part 1 (of 4)3/29/2010 Important decisions in life—who to marry, which job to take, what house to buy—are best made in the context of multiple independent confirmations. Confirming Cosmic Expansion, Part 2 (of 4)4/05/2010 Continual cosmic expansion under fixed physical laws from an actual beginning of matter, energy, space, and time is the key to the biblical cosmic creation model. Confirming Cosmic Expansion, Part 3 (of 4)4/12/2010 Although written thousands of years ago, the Bible’s scientific information was so far ahead of its time that advances in astronomy and cosmology didn’t catch up to it until the big bang theory emerged in the twentieth century. Confirming Cosmic Expansion, Part 4 (of 4)4/19/2010 For over two thousand years the Bible stood alone as the only text to claim that the cosmos have been continually expanding under fixed physical laws from the beginning of space, time, matter, and energy. Continuous Cosmic Expansion10/1/2005 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 Acceleration Narrows Life's Time Window10/1/2000 Recent discoveries about the universes expansion rate significantly impact the case for divine design. Past research revealed that only after a certain period of expansion would the universe be ready to support physical life. The latest findings show that the expansion will soon be too great for life support. The narrowness of this life window has led some researchers to acknowledge the necessity of intelligent design.1, 2 Cosmic Brane Scans7/1/2002 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 Of The First Stars1/11/2010 Scientific evidence for the biblically predicted big bang creation model1 is both overwhelming and compelling. Dark Matter Ropes Confirm Big Bang Cosmology4/2/2008 Dark matter and dark energy. Together they compose over 95% of the stuff in the universe. Observations conclusively demonstrate that both exist. Yet scientists have little idea what they actually are. Dark Matter Verdict Buttresses Creation Model1/1/2007 Imagine yourself in a courtroom with RTB astrophysicist Jeff Zweerink playing the role of attorney. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, today I present compelling evidence confirming a key component of RTB's cosmic creation model: dark matter does indeed exist. This mysterious dark matter, constituting about 25% of the universe, has proven remarkably difficult to study since it emits no detectable electromagnetic radiation-no radio waves, no visible light, no x-rays, etc. Debunking The Scientific Conspiracy7/7/2010 “The evidence opposing the mainstream scientific view can’t get published.” Defusing The Antimatter Bomb5/19/2009 Design Feature Prevents Hard Snowball Earth3/12/2008 Imagine the Antarctic glaciers extending over the whole Earth. Dating back to the early 1960s, scientists proposed just such a scenario, known as a “snowball Earth” hypotheses to explain various geological and geochemical data in the planet’s history. Did The Universe Hyperinflate?4/26/2010 For most people, inflation refers to how much money they need to purchase basic goods and to the interest rates on their loans when their government decides to pay its bills by printing more money. Direct Distance Measurements To Center Of The Milky Way2/22/2010 A team of four astronomers from the United States, Germany, and China have placed the biblically predicted big bang creation model on a more secure footing by producing the first-ever direct distance measurement to the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (MWG). Distance To Double Pulsar Tests Cosmic Creation Models5/18/2009 Space-time theorems prove a supernatural Agent must've created the universe of space, time, matter, and energy. These theorems are true, however, only if general relativity reliably describes the dynamics of bodies within the universe. Earth Just Barely Large Enough2/13/2008 All the recent talk about global warming highlights one critical characteristic of Earth that makes the planet habitable, namely plate tectonics. As I discussed two weeks ago, Venus and Earth are remarkably similar in terms of their size and composition. Einstein Exonerated In Breakthrough Discovery7/1/1999 An international team of 31 astronomers, cooperating in what is called The Supernova Cosmology Project (SCP), has just produced the first positive identification of Einstein’s infamous cosmological constant. This discovery yields what may be the most profound evidence to date for divine design of the cosmos.1 Facing Up To Big Bang Challenges1/1/2001 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.” First Simulation Of Type Ia Supernova10/21/2009 How can scientists use violent stellar explosions occurring outside the Milky Way Galaxy to determine the characteristics of the universe? Aren't the many variations in these explosions so extreme as to make them useless for studying? Gas Clouds Found Sans Metals1/16/2012 Recent observational efforts... provide direct confirmation of the standard big bang model. General Relavity Passes Another Test6/18/2008 Part of my attraction to gamma-ray astronomy relates to the types of objects it observes. My graduate research focused on an object called Markarian 421. It is an active galactic nucleus (AGN) located about 360 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. Gravitational Lens Test For Creation10/1/2008 How Does Wmap Continue To Produce New Results?4/9/2008 “Still going….Nothing outlasts the Energizer.” Almost anyone who has watched TV in the last decade is familiar with the Energizer Bunny. The bunny continues to pound away without wearing down. How Far Tells How Old7/1/2000 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”). In Search Of The First Stars6/17/09 Recent observations narrow one long-standing gap in big bang cosmology—a component of RTB’s creation model—by gaining understanding of the formation of the universe’s first stars. 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. Latest Research Beats Out The Mixmaster ModelJanuary 1, 2010 During my graduate school days, when evidence for a big bang universe was growing exponentially, “mixmaster” models for the universe gained popularity as a potential escape, a loophole for those wanting to ignore the implications of a cosmic beginning in the recent past (as in a few billion or tens of billions of years ago). Locating The Ordinary Dark Matter3/8/2010 In the book of Job, God poses the questions, “Where does darkness reside?...Do you know the paths to their dwellings?”1 Measuring The Taurus Star Association Helps Astronomers Understand The Milky Way7/20/2009 Opponents of the big bang creation model attempt to blow past the overwhelming physical evidence in favor of this biblically predicted model1 by picking apart the least understood components of the model. More Accurate Measures Of Creation: Shoring Up The Distance Ladder Method11/30/2009 Opponents of the big bang creation model, both atheists and young-earth creationists, often attempt to blow past it by picking apart the least understood and least well-determined components of the model. More Evidence For Supernatural Creation And Design Of The Universe1/5/2009 Important decisions in life, like whom to marry, are best made in the context of multiple independent confirmations along with efforts to improve their reliability. When all possible confirming efforts say she or he is the right one, one can be confident that the right decision has been made. More Precise Cosmic Distances1/1/2005 "How far is Moreno Valley from Pasadena?" More Rigorous Test Of General Relativity8/24/2009 Prior to twentieth century developments in physics, scientists and philosophers had come to believe that the universe had been static for infinite time. Then the theory of general relativity affirmed that the universe is actually a dynamic entity. Most Detailed Map Of Cosmic Background Radiation Confirms Biblical Creation Model7/1/2006 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). Multiple General Relativity Tests Affirm A CreatorJune 1, 2010 Looking to the stars and beyond, Christians have marshaled arguments of their own through the centuries to contend for the existence of the God of the Bible. Multiverse Musings - The Beginning2/6/2008 The cosmological and teleological arguments represent the two strongest evidences (with scientific relevance) in support of the Christian God. Obviously, the multiverse models impact these two arguments and Christians need to be prepared to address these concerns. New Lower Limit For Gravitational Wave Energy Density9/14/2009 For lay people, gravity is the most familiar of the fundamental forces of physics. Not a moment goes by where one does not feel the strong pull of gravity toward the center of the earth. Polarization Of Cosmic Microwave Background7/13/2009 Today the scientific evidence for the biblically predicted big bang creation model1 is both overwhelming and compelling. In fact, so much evidence has accumulated that astronomers have been able to identify a very specific cosmic creation model that simultaneously explains the origin, history, and design of the universe. Predictive Power: Confirming Cosmic Creation4/1/2002 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. Proving Cosmic Expansion Using Direct Measurements Only6/8/2009 Opponents of the anthropic principle and of big bang cosmology (whether atheists or young-earth creationists) frequently attempt to push aside compelling physical evidence for these biblically predicted cosmological features1 by picking apart the limiting factor in determining the details of the cosmic creation story. This limitation is the inability of astronomers to determine accurate distances to galaxies, both nearby and far away, through direct measurements. Pulsars In Ultracompact Binaries4/6/2009 Two of the strongest and most compelling scientific evidences for the biblically predicted big bang creation model1 include the continuous expansion of the universe and the reliability of Einstein's theory of general relativity in describing the dynamics of bodies within the universe. Both pieces of evidence establish a cosmic singularity beginning; that is, an actual origin of matter and energy and of the space-time dimensions along which matter and energy are distributed. Putting Cosmic Creation To The Test3/28/2011 Thanks to an avalanche of astronomical discoveries made over the past five decades, we now know that the Bible, despite being written thousands of years ago, is correct in all its descriptions of the fundamental elements of big bang cosmology. Since these statements were unique to the Bible until the twentieth century and because they are so detailed and specific, they rank as one of the most dramatic examples of the Bible’s predictive power. Putting The Big Bang To The Test3/14/2003 In 1989 John Maddox, the physics editor for the prestigious journal, Nature, wrote an editorial entitled, “Down With the Big Bang,” in which he (a self-declared atheist) predicted that the big bang theory would not survive even the initial observations coming from the Hubble Space Telescope. Quad Confirms Biblical Creation Model10/04/2010 Data collected by a team of 31 astronomers known as the QUaD Collaboration has strengthened the biblically predicted big bang creation model. QUaD is an acronym for QUEST at DASI. It’s a ground-based cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) experiment located at the South Pole. Reigning In Weird Cosmic Models10/1/2002 The supposed rebirth of the oscillating universe model made Internet headlines in recent months1 and the lead slot in Science.2 This model posits that the universe oscillates between successive expansions and contractions, each contraction followed by a new big bang. Relativity Reaffirms Creation Doctrine7/1/1999 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 Results From Two Research Teams Improve Direct Distance Measurements And Strengthen The Creation Model, Part 1 (of 2)8/30/2010 Recent work by two different teams of astronomers—one headed up by Mayumi Sato of the University of Tokyo and the other by James Braatz of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory—places the biblically predicted big bang creation model on more secure footing. Sato’s team produced the best direct distance measurement to the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (MWG) to date. Results From Two Research Teams Improve Direct Distance Measurements And Strengthen The Creation Model, Part 2 (of 2)9/6/2010 As discussed last week, direct distance measurements to objects and locations in the cosmos not only helps us better understand the universe, they also produce evidence for the biblically predicted big bang creation model. Recent work by two different research teams produced evidence that places this model on even surer footing. One team—led by Mayumi Sato of the University of Tokyo—produced the best direct distance measurement to the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (MWG) to date Signpost Of Unification Found?3/5/2008 Scientists seek to discover a discover fundamental theory underlying all natural phenomena, including the four basic forces of in nature: the electromagnetic force, the gravitational force, and the strong and weak nuclear forces. In the past several hundred years, unification played a central role in many of the great scientific advancements. Solving The "first Stars" Problem1/14/2009 My first experience with publishing recently culminated with the release of Who’s Afraid of the Multiverse? The process required numerous editors inspecting my writing, making improvements, and checking for errors. The first editorial passes put the basic structure of the booklet in place and made sure the “plot” developed well. Star Formation In Dwarf Galaxies As A Test Of Big Bang Cosmology12/15/2008 Astronomers’ observations1 of the universe continue to support big bang cosmology–which the Bible has taught for centuries.2 The evidence shows, among other things, that the universe is predominantly comprised of dark energy (energy embedded in the space surface of the universe that causes the cosmic surface to expand faster and faster as the universe ages) and cold exotic dark matter (slow moving particles that weakly interact with photons). Star-gazing7/8/2009 Summer's officially here. That means it's time to dig up the camping equipment and head into the great outdoors. I grew up in a family that loved to camp and I've continued that tradition with my own children. Strengthening The Case For A Cosmic Creator, Part 1 (of 2)11/22/2010 Between the ages of 17 and 19, I spent an hour or two a day studying the Bible and testing its claims for divine inspiration, complete trustworthiness, and reliability of its message. In eight months I accumulated more than sufficient evidence to prove that the Bible must be the Word of God. Strengthening The Case For A Cosmic Creator, Part 2 (of 2)12/6/2010 Examining in some detail the history of the universe helps test the biblical doctrine of cosmic creation in five important ways. Stronger Evidence For The Supernatural Creation And Design Of The Universe7/2/2007 Important decisions in life—like who to marry, what job to take, and what home to buy—are best made in the context of multiple independent confirmations. When every possible confirming source identifies the same choice, you can be confident you have made the correct decision. Temperature Of The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation3/1/2010 For thousands of years the Bible stood alone among all theological, philosophical, and scientific texts in making the claim we live in a big bang universe. Testing Creation Using The Proton To Electron Mass Ratio11/2/2009 For thousands of years the Bible has been on record stating that he laws governing the heavens and earth do not vary. If the constancy of the laws of physics is proven, it would not only establish the Bible's reliable descriptions of nature and predictions of future scientific discoveries, it would also refute young-earth creationism and significantly constrain speculations about string theories and the possibility that scalar fields alter the character of dark energy. The Difficulties Of Testing String Theory7/30/2008 “Test everything. Hold on to the good.” This biblical passage underscores a central principle of the scientific enterprise. Any successful model must undergo testing that will either affirm or falsify its validity. The Least Luminous Known Galaxy7/6/2009 Astronomers' observations of the universe1 provide substantial support for the cosmic creation event taught in the Bible.2 Evidence shows that the universe is comprised predominantly of dark energy (energy embedded in the space surface of the universe that causes the cosmic surface to expand faster and faster as the universe ages) and cold exotic dark matter (slow moving particles that weakly interact with photons). Tnrtb Classic: Big Bang Cosmology01/19/2012 This previous TNRTB discusses confidence-boosting discoveries from the past 20 years and shows why prominent young-earth creationists’ arguments against big bang cosmology don’t really hold water. Tolman's Elegant Test1/1/2002 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. Translating Genesis 1:1: Aristotle Or The Big Bang? Part 2 (of 2)3/12/2010 Acceptance of the big bang theory in the latter half of the twentieth century provided scientific justification for the traditional translation of Genesis 1:1. Watching The Universe Grow Up4/1/2006 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.
