Secularism vs. Creationism



Astronomy

Anyone who has ever seen the aftermath of an explosion can only observe chaos but secularists, contrary to what science observes happening today, would like us to believe that all the order we see in the world resulted from the greatest known explosion. Matter ought to be far more uniformly distributed throughout space but it is grouped together in complicated structures that actually will have needed forces to guide them into place. The chaotic forces of an explosion have never been observed to create order.


There is significant evidence that the earth is much younger than the 4.5by claimed by secularists. Several scientific calculations suggest that the creation occurred around 10,000 years ago. It can be worked out from the Bible that the world was created over 7,500 years ago.


Red Shift

The colour spectrum of the light from some stars does not have the same spectrum of white light like our sun has. They have a spectrum that has been shifted downwards in frequency away from the blue end of the spectrum towards the red end of the spectrum. It is the same effect as the tone of a racing car dropping as it goes past you. Therefore this frequency lowering or “red shift” is said to be due to these stars flying away from us.


This is based on the assumption that the laws of physics across the universe have always been the same as today but they haven't. If the speed of light was faster in the past then light from the past when observed today would appear to have slowed down and appear lower in frequency or red shifted. Has the speed of light been falling? Yes it has but the hard scientific evidence is again being suppressed and denied by some.


To measure the speed of light you need to be able to measure time. There are two types of clock being used to day. The Dynamical Clock uses the time the earth takes to go through one annual solar cycle. The Atomic clock is based on the time it takes for an electron to orbit the nucleus of a hydrogen atom although caesium is used in a practical clock. The science world cannot see any reason why these two should not agree with each other and so far most scientists are ignoring the fact that they do not.


There are 16 different methods used to measure the speed of light they have all shown a reduction over time. A statistical analysis of the historic measurements of the speed of light show overwhelmingly that it has been faster in the past. As the pace of the atomic clock is related to the speed of light, if the speed of light has changed then the pace of the atomic clock will have changed.



Atomic Constants

Scientific paper showing speed of light faster in the past.



Scientists use the atomic clock when making calculations of how long ago things happened in the past. But as it ticked faster in the past their calculations will give longer periods of time than really happened.


Due to the fall in the speed of light, when light emitted in the past reaches us today, it will have slowed down along the way. This means that light that originally had a white colour spectrum will appear to us now shifted towards the red end of the spectrum. And the further the light has been travelling to reach us greater will be the shift. Most scientists interpret this red shift seen today as that the universe is still expanding and that the further away from us the faster it is expanding. As this goes against the standard laws of physics they cannot explain this but a decreasing speed of light does. In fact there is no scientific proof the universe is expanding and the big bang ever happened.


Between 1955 and 1981 the time for the moon to go around the earth was measured using an Atomic Clock. The Atomic Clock was shown to be slowing down. This evidence is currently being completely ignored by those dominating the scientific community.


More recent studies has yielded data that conflicts with the current theory of the heavens. A quasar within one galaxy has a red shift one thousand times greater than the galaxy it is in. Red shift has also been found to only fall into discrete levels. It is not uniformly distributed as you would expect from a uniformly expanding universe. This all clearly demonstrates that red shift has nothing to do with an expanding universe.


Galaxy Clusters

Our sun is one of over 200,000 million stars in the Milky Way galaxy. Some galaxies are in clusters. The Milky Way is part of a cluster of 19 galaxies. Some galaxies have bridges of material between them that would not be there if they had been moving like they are today for billions of years and also the galaxies would have been overlapping only half a million years ago.


This demonstrates that many secularists do not use the scientific method to examine their theories. They find a creator unacceptable so theories that try to explain what we see in the universe are embraced despite factual scientific observations that are contrary to these theories. They assume that further theories yet to be worked out will be able to explain these contrary facts. That is not science like they claim but actually faith, blind faith. This principle applies to most of the following points made below. Someone who has excepted a secular viewpoint because that was what they were taught will be surprised at whose world view is actually supported by scientific observation.


Globular Clusters

There are groups of tens of thousands of stars that are so close together that the eye sees them as only one star in the night sky. There are over 150 of them in our Milky Way galaxy. They orbit the galaxy core but show no distortion due to its gravity. As they are said to be one the oldest parts of a galaxy and because there are so many stars so close together it is expected their combined solar winds would have formed a gas cloud but there isn't one. The creationist would say because they are not old enough to have formed one. They are currently moving so fast that within one million years they would have escaped our galaxy completely so they must have formed earlier than the 4.5by claimed.


Comets

Comets orbit the sun on an elliptical course. The head of a comet is made from rocks and ice. As larger comets move near the sun particles are blown off by the solar wind streaming out from the sun causing a tail to form. Therefore as a comet orbits the sun it is continually being eroded eventually it will cease to exist. It has been shown that some comets cannot be more than only 10,000 years old.


Therefore something happened in the heavens less than 10,000 years ago to form these comets. Secularists without any supporting scientific confirmation, have created theories that comets form out of bands of debris that encircle the sun. If they cannot work out what happened less than 10,000 years ago how can they work out what happened billions of years ago?


Sun

It is said that the Sun burns up 4,700,000 tons of its mass every second. If it were billions of years old it would have had to be so big originally that it would have so scorched the surface of the earth that the conditions that allow life to exist on earth now would not exist.


Moon

The energy to power the ocean tides is said to come from the earth spinning around. The energy lost due to this is causing the earth to spin slower and as a consequence the moon is slowly going faster around us. This results in the moon moving away from the earth. The present rate is about 40mm/year. Now if two astronomical objects get too close together then the gravitational forces between them start to break each other up. It can be shown that the earth/moon system cannot be older than 320 my (million years) otherwise the moon would have been so close to the earth that this break up would have occurred.


It is just not good science to say the world is 4.5by old when so many facts imply a younger age. To trust in a theory and to ignore these facts expecting them to be explained away later is blind optimism and incredibly unscientific.


So due to the limitations of what we understand both the secularist and the creationist expect further scientific observation to justify their world view. The secularist view of how the heavens evolved makes the same mistakes as they make when they assume life evolved. Just because various life forms can be placed into an ordered classification system it does not mean they evolved from one another. Just because we see a range of heavenly structures does not mean they are all stages in the evolution of the heavens. Annoyingly simplistic for the secularist, the Bible says the heavens and the earth were created in a day and not one scientific fact disproves it.
