Creationists need a “History of Brief Time”
A Biblical cosmologyshould explain:
Cosmic microwaves
How light got here fast
“Pioneer anomaly”
Red shiftsStephen Hawking
“A Brief History of Time”
Starting point: The Genesis deep
![Page 3: Light-years? Not a problem! D. Russell Humphreys, Ph. D. Creation Research Society D. Russell Humphreys, Ph. D. Creation Research Society.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032308/56649f515503460f94c744e6/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
And the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters.
What was the “deep” in Genesis 1:2?
![Page 4: Light-years? Not a problem! D. Russell Humphreys, Ph. D. Creation Research Society D. Russell Humphreys, Ph. D. Creation Research Society.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032308/56649f515503460f94c744e6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The deep was a big ball of water
Much bigger than the Earth
Earth formlessand featurelesswithin the deep
![Page 5: Light-years? Not a problem! D. Russell Humphreys, Ph. D. Creation Research Society D. Russell Humphreys, Ph. D. Creation Research Society.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032308/56649f515503460f94c744e6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The heavens originated in the deep
Expanse
And God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters…”
—Genesis 1:6
Big enough for stars
And God called the expanse heavens.
—Genesis 1:6
raqia, stereoma, firmamentum, firmament, = something spread out

The waters above theheavens affect us here
“Praise Him, highest heavens, And the waters that are above the heavens” — Psalm 148:4
Ice particles now
Galaxies

... let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place; and let the dry land appear… —Genesis 1:9

At start of 4th day, earth was the only matter below the waters
Unusual gravity situation
Why should gravity matter?
![Page 9: Light-years? Not a problem! D. Russell Humphreys, Ph. D. Creation Research Society D. Russell Humphreys, Ph. D. Creation Research Society.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032308/56649f515503460f94c744e6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Scientists agree: gravity affects time
Gravitational time dilation — Lower clocks tick slower
Shown by experiment
Predicted by Einstein
Slow
Fast
Time: Flies when high Slow when low

A trampoline is a good analogy for gravity
Dent

“Waters above” like ring on trampoline
Flat inside ring

The tramploline must accelerate
Very high acceleration in 4th space direction
Could be centrifugal

During 4th day, God created the stars
New stars More gravity Zone of Timelessness
And God made the two great lights ... and the stars. And God placed them in the expanse of the heavens ... Genesis 1:16

Earth time stopped during 4th day
4th day only 24 hours here4th day only 24 hours here
So Adam could see Milky Way and Andromeda
Starlight arrived during 4th Day
“Let there be lights in the firmament ... to give light on the earth ... and it was so.” Genesis 1:14, 15

How light got here

How expansion affects spacecraft
Creation cosmology is answering questions
So you can trust the Bible to be true
