Beginning of time - Part 1 Continued

It is very important as we discuss the beginning of time that we do not err in relegating the word (Jesus) as a created being.  The word was not only present in the beginning but the word was also with God and he was also God.  The word, begotten of the father, was the very image of and essence of God and the member of the triune God that bridged the gap from eternity into our realm at the moment of creation.  The word, translated from the original text (Logos) means a spoken or uttered command or decree.  Just like the decree or command of an earthly king in ancient times carried the authority of the king so God the Father bestowed his authority through his word.  It is amazing to see that the very penalty for sin had to be paid by the very one that created it all.  The bible goes on to say in Matthew 5:17 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill".   

Beginning of time - Part 1

Returning back to an idea presented in an earlier blog, I see a parallel in how science proposes how time began from a scientific point of view and what the bible states about the beginning.

A conclusion drawn by the author states:  "My new analysis of the relationship between the electron's power requirements and the ARENA OF SPACE, and all the latest HiTech findings allows me to:

Put all the evidence together in one logical analysis and the conclusion must be a Big Bang Thermonuclear Conversion of Energy found in the pre-existing huge energy-filled arena of space.
And this puts the very slow moving Earth virtually right in the Center of our 27.4 billion year old Universe.

Again, Science finds the Tools; Philosophy seeks the Craftsman".

It appears that the arena of space was filled with energy (The Spirit of God) before time began and at some point which science calls it the point of singularity, energy was converted into matter by a thermonuclear conversion which science calls it the Big Bang.  I believe that at that point when time began, the Eternal God, spoke the Word into the Spirit realm and as He begets the Son, He then becomes the Everlasting Father and creator.  Coincidentally the bible says that "In the beginning was the Word (Jesus) and the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning, all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. " - John 1:3.    The word beginning implies the point in time or space at which something starts.  The Son of God is the very essence of God the Father but He is the one that represents the Godhead in our realm or reality (His very image).  Time and space began with the Word (Jesus) and it is amazing enough to see that even recent recorded history is referenced by BC or AD again making reference to Christ.

Is the Universe infinite? Is space infinite?

Many scientists had originally thought that the universe might be infinite and eternal. However, there was a major problem with the theory. If the universe were infinite, the amount of light falling on the earth would also be infinite (assuming an approximately uniform density of galaxies throughout the universe. The reason for this is that the volume of the universe increases 8-fold with doubling of distance, while the decrease of light is only 4-fold with the doubling of the distance. The result is that the amount of light falling in the earth would double every time the size of the universe is doubled. Therefore, if the universe were infinite, we would not expect the sky to be dark at night. Since the night sky is dark, we know that the universe could not be infinite (Rich Deem - http://www.godandscience.org/slideshow/sld001.html.)

So if the universe is finite and there is evidence of darkness beyond the farthest known galaxy (approximately 13.7 billion light years away - edge of the universe) then at least for now, we can hypothesize that space continues and appears to be infinite.

This indicates a point of origin (science calls it singularity, more on this later) where the Creator decided to create time and matter and set the universe in motion into empty space.  In other words, this is the dimension we humans live in.  (I would like to add that I believe that the Eternal God at this point became also the Everlasting Father, more on this later.)  If the universe was infinite and the observation of the amount of light falling on the earth is correct, it would not be possible for us to distinguish the celestial lights and bodies and therefore would have no reference point of time and space. 
Coincidentally, God states a purpose for this phenomenon in Genesis 1:14 - God said "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night and let them serve as signs to mark seasons, and days and years....

Faith and Reason

It has been a while.  Life sometimes is very demanding and time is a precious comodity. 
As the Bible states:  Time must be redeemed which makes it a form of currency and Faith must be tested as gold which makes it precious.  I will try to be more diligent with my time and my faith and make good purchases with them.

The believer does not need science to prove the existance of God, we just come to Him by faith. Although I am convinced more and more each day that the laws that God has placed in this universe, if we are honest enough to search, and diligent enough to discover eventually point back to the Creator of it all.

This quote expresses that thought very eloquently:
For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.

Big-Bang (Thermonuclear conversion) - How old is our Universe? Does it conflict with the Genesis account?

This is an excerpt from the book "The 21st century's all new cosmology." In this book the author hypothesizes the idea that space, filled with energy before the Big-Bang, at some point converged to a single point exploding outwardly and stretching out our universe.  Coincidentally, some of the author's thoughts are in direct contrast to previous widely held beliefs.  The question that can be raised then is: Where did this energy come from, what caused it to converge at one point in time ions ago and why is it that the universe appears to still be expanding today? 

Thoughts on the CMB (cosmic microwave background) temperature uniformity that cosmologists ponder with disbelief over:



1. To deny the ability for the CMB's ions to lose motion uniformly in different locations of space is for scientists to deny the replication of experimental outcomes.

2. If a thousand scientists performed the same experiment using identical equipment, they should get identical results. The same with nature. A field of growing wheat produces identical results when all elements are alike. Same with the CMB's identical temperature in every direction.

[Note: an explosion IN SPACE is by far the simplest explanation that can explain this equality and Earth's central location vis-à-vis the CMB and quasar graphs.]


3. So, the Big Bang's Thermonuclear Conversion of Energy found in the Arena of Space shoots out the equivalent of a cannon's smoke ring when fired. Except that instead of a smoke ring it is a spherical smoke ring of outrushing matter, going out at 95-99% of the speed of light, now some 13.7 billion light years away in EVERY direction. With equal distance we have equal temperature. We have equal distance because Earth is moving so slow, relative to all celestial objects.
[Consequently, we Earthlings are in a very unique location - right next to the epicenter of the Big Bang explosion - the Center of our Universe.]

Timing = Age of the Universe:


Time for the spherical smoke ring to reach this viewed location requires a minimum of 13.7 billion years and another 13.7 for the radiation to return to us the very slow moving Earth. That equals a round trip of 27.4 billion years minimum - the minimum age of our Universe.
Earth's view of the CMB's radiation is like seeing a family photo of a 13.7 year old child that took 13.7 years to deliver to us Earthlings a 27.4 year old recipient.


[Plenty of time now for structures to form. The youngest object in the Universe that we see, cannot be younger than the 13.7 billion year old CMB, thereby giving the force of gravity billions of years of unhurried construction to form galaxies.]

Conclusion:


My new analysis of the relationship between the electron's power requirements and the ARENA OF SPACE, and all the latest HiTech findings allows me to:
Put all the above evidence together in one logical analysis and the conclusion must be a Big Bang Thermonuclear Conversion of Energy found in the pre-existing huge energy-filled arena of space.
And this puts the very slow moving Earth virtually right in the Center of our 27.4 billion year old Universe.

All evidence presented is documented by the likes of NASA or equivalent source.

______________________________________________________________________________
Science is obviously bringing us new discoveries everyday and what continues to amaze me is that each new discovery somehow further supports what the bible claimed all along.  For the skeptics, agnostics and atheists out there, just because we may not necessarily have all the pieces of the puzzle together, we should not rush to dismiss what the bible has said.  In time, what some of us have already come to accept by faith, God may choose to reveal openly by scientific findings.  Whatever means God might have chosen to create the universe and however long it might have taken, in my opinion, is not at all in conflict with the word of God.  To this end, I would like to quote a simple scripture that takes us back to the beginning of time.  Having said that, we must keep in mind that God created the universe, the earth, everything in it and on it for mankind.  The main focus of His creation has always been "man."

Genesis 1: 1-2
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
(What happened between these two verses and how much time lapsed before God worked on the formless and empty earth?  The Bible does not say.)
2 Now the earth was a formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

Why are we here? Does life have a purpose?

Sometimes a simple expression in the language of music and pictures is sufficient
to release a conviction that would otherwise remain locked within ourselves.
U2 releases their message in a song with imagery all of their own and based on
their own experience.  The video is an interpretation by "daveg656" (a youtube member)
that adds further images to an already awesome song.

The message is evident and so, I decided to share it with my friends:
