I'm

 

 bout 100 pages into it and needless to say 

its pretty much right in my wheelhouse

 if you know what I mean

:-).

Just got a few to share :-).

"at some point in the past...the distance between neighboring galaxies must have been zero."

Stephen Hawking

"A Brief History of Time" p. 49.

(That means it had to have a starting point folks...)

"Robert Dicke, a leading Princeton University physicist during the 50's and 60's later explained why a finite universe elicited such knee-jerk philosophical opposition among so many scientist. An infinitely old universe "would relieve us," he said, "of the necessity of understanding the origin of matter at any finite time in the past." A finite universe, by contrast, would force scientist to confront uncomfortable questions about the ultimate beginning of the material universe itself. It also raised the possibility that the universe had begun in something like a creation event produced by a cause that existed independently of matter, space, time and energy."

(We live in a finite universe. Some people, including scientist, just cant seem to wrap their heads around such a concept.)

I know :-).

Great picture right? :-).

FIGURES 5 13

"The big bang theory predicts the existence of a low-level cosmic background radiation. For the big bang to explain the origin of galaxies, there must have also been small variations in the intensity of this radiation from the earliest stages of the universe. As the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite has scanned the night sky, it has detected these slight variations. This figure reproduces, in an enhanced black and white form, a famous color image of the night sky depicting these variations."

"...orbiting the earth above the atmospheric fray, it did indeed discover (Fig. 5.13) the predicted tiny variations in CMBR radiation.

These findings resolved one of the few remaining evidential challenges facing the big bang model and sealed the case from observational astronomy for a finite universe." It gave a snapshot of the seeds of galaxies just after the creation of matter itself. For many scientists these images were startling in their significance. As George Smoot, the director of the COBE program, who eventually won the Nobel Prize for his discovery, put it: "If you're religious, it's like seeing God."

That was operational from 89-93.

You are never going to find another creation account that matches up as well with cosmology as the bible does, you just wont because its the truth. And we have already done the why there is light on day one and day four thing previously... 

The more we know about our material world? 

The more we see God working in it.

More to follow im sure.

I love you baby.

Stop by I got plenty of food now :-).
