Cosmology: Explaining the Universe

Northwest Creation Network Play List - http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=F26272964EA41770 Evolution relies on, depends on, and believes in the "evolutionary story" of the fossil record. Several key facts punch holes in that foundation—the extreme rarity of transitional forms, stasis in the record, sudden appearance of complex animal and plant forms, and gaps between species. Discuss the supposed origin of fish, bats, fleas, flies, birds, dragonflies, marine reptiles, whales, and finally humans. Compare the evolutionary scenario to the creation scenario in which each type was created by a supreme Creator separately and fully formed, just as it is found in the fossil record. Conclude with a summary of the real fossil record and its record of death and extinction. Dr. John Morris, is a creation scientist and educator with a specialization in Geological engineering. He is the current President of the Institute for Creation Research, and son of the late Henry Morris whose seminal work is viewed by many to have initiated the modern creation science movement. John joined the faculty of ICR in 1984, and has served as the President since 1996. He has also led numerous expeditions to Mt. Ararat in search of Noah's Ark. Dr. Morris received his B.S. in Civil Engineering at Virginia Tech in 1969 and his M.S. in Geological Engineering at the University of Oklahoma in 1977. He received his Doctorate in Geological Engineering at the University of Oklahoma in 1980. Dr. Morris can be heard each day on the Back to Genesis radio program. He is the author of numerous books, including The Young Earth. Dr. Morris taught geology at the University of Oklahoma before joining the faculty of the ICR.

There is a huge gap between cosmological data and theory. Many different cosmologies can explain the same data. Cosmology needs presuppositions, many of which are unverifiable. We examine a number of ancient, Big Bang, and creationist models. Although a cosmological model may have serious short-comings, any favored cosmology can be saved by ad hoc devices. Ultimately, cosmological models are assessed in terms of one's worldview. A Biblical cosmology differs on the nature of reality, origins and eschatology.

This video file is a 60 minute seminar by John Byl that was recorded during the Seattle Creation Conference, October 2010.

Dr. John Byl is a creation scientist with specializations and interests in Galactic Astronomy, Theoretical Physics, Applied Math, Science & Technology, and Christian Worldview. He has a Ph.D. in Astronomy from the University of British Columbia, and is the former Professor of Mathematics and Chair of the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Trinity Western University, Langley, BC.

John was born in The Hague, Netherlands, in 1949 and is now a Canadian citizen, is married and has six children and four grandchildren. He is an elder in the Canadian Reformed Church.

@BroCope Mm-hmm. Your projection's getting pretty desperate.

[foxhole8063]

@BroCope Accepting God as proven "fact" while citing your own staggering ignorance and sense of intellectual superiority as "evidence" that the big bang and evolution are false makes for good rhetoric for yelling at confused passers-by on a street corner, but not much else.

Again, I would tell you to read up to get the answers to your misconceptions, but you've convinced yourself that it's all wrong and you're smarter. Can't help you there.

@Bornagain271 "nothing exploding and creating everything"

So you're a member of the Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron school of only getting a halfassed understanding of ideas you decide to reject?

The big bang theory is based on observatios ... but it's limited in that it only explains the conditions of the very early universe (infinitely hot, infinitely dense), not the conditions at t=0. We don't know that yet. You can say GOD says whatever you like; it doesn't make it real.

[Bornagain271]

@foxhole8063 I admire your faith in the magic of nothing exploding and creating everything, or are you saying that matter and energy is eternal? You only have these two choices as a big banger. God says creation is self evident and you have no excuse to believe in these fairy tales of material pantheism or your pagan religion of cosmic evolution.

[Bornagain271]

@Alchaeon1 Genetic and DNA evidence and the complexity of the cell makes evolution impossible and supports creation not the religion of evolution. You believe in the magic wand of time that can turn atoms into thinking people. I admire your faith.

[bdogshredder]

time itself may be an arbitrary entinty, what is a "day"? or a billion "years"? Prove there is a difference between the two from the vantage point within time, and you will be famous.

[bdogshredder]

Is that a smirk?

[Alchaeon1]

Whilst even Aristotle and Plato preferred geo-centric cosmological models, there were other Ancient Greek philosophers and scientists that developed helio-centric cosmological models (Aristarchus).

[Alchaeon1]

...evolutionary biology does nor rely nor require the vast fossil record ir order to validate, compelling evidence that it is.

I can only direct people to the Genetic and DNA evidence that renders evoltionary biology irrefutable.

If people wish to cling to religious dogma because somehow they interpret aspects of science as a direct challenge, then that is their choice.

You cannot stop nor force people to come out into the light and allow enightenment to heal their wounds of ignorance

I almost get the feeling you have been watching my videos, "Creation Ex-Nihilo Revisited" " Scientific Foreknowledge in the Bible". 

Have you looked at the mechanism of creation in anti-de Sitter Space? This space/time configuration would provide the means God could have used to create a mature universe with informational homogeneity. It seems such an explanation could also address the deception problem.
