Evolution Vs Creation Controversy

Evolution Vs Creation Controversy

By:


It is now quite well established (as found by Edwin Hubble in 1929) that the universe is expanding sort of like a lump of dough, whereby every galaxy (like raisins in the dough) is getting further apart from the center and from all the other galaxies except this is happening at a speed of many thousands of miles per hour (in fact, the rate of expansion is increasing).

Now, if we reverse the film on the expanding universe, and go way back, we would end up with all the matter in the universe located in a tiny area, which would be the beginning point. Such a beginning which expands out to today's universe is compatible with what is presented in the Bible. The Bible starts out by saying, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1). So, there we have a "beginning" to the universe.

It should be noted that in Genesis 1:1, the Hebrew word for "created" ("bara") means a "creation from nothing," as something is brought into existence. The "beginning" from nothing, is an excellent description of what cosmologists (such as Stephen Hawking) call a "singularity," which is the starting point of the Big Bang. A singularity is: all the potential mass (matter), energy, and dimensions (including time) of the cosmos, reduced down to an infinitely tiny point of zero volume.

This same concept is presented out again in Hebrews 11:3 which say that "the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible." The original starting point for the universe was invisible, and had zero volume just as the Bible teaches as no other ancient writing does.

Furthermore, cosmologists and physicists teach that matter, three dimensional space, and even time itself virtually did not exist before the Big Bang; (when God created them). Here it is fascinating to note 1 Corinthians 2:7, 2Timothy 1:9, and Titus 1:2 indicate that time itself, with all its eons and ages, had a "beginning." No other ancient literature (besides the Bible) states that time had a beginning.

Then, having started from this "beginning" point, the Bible even says about God: "He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea" (Job 9:8); and "He stretches out the heavens like a tent" (Psalm 104:2); and "He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in" (Isa. 40:22); and "the Lord your Maker, who stretched out the heavens" (Isa. 51:13); ...there are about nine such biblical references. Notice that God stretched the heavens out in the past, and some of those verses declare that He still "stretches" the universe out today.

This "beginning" from nothing, and the "spreading" or "stretching out" of the heavens (an excellent portrayal of the expanding universe due to the Big Bang since the instant God created the universe) are words of biblical prophets that were written from about fifteen hundred BC which is about three thousand years before Edwin Hubble found that the universe is expanding.
