Theory-Affirming Evidence About the Universe

Bill Kendrick writes "Astronomers using a radio telescope at the South Pole have recorded a flicker of light from nearly 14 billion years ago that verifies most modern theory about the cosmos. Way back then, light and matter were only just beginning to separate from each other."

  1. No where does the Bible say earth's age.... by Brian_Ellenberger · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Nowhere in the Bible does it mention the Earth's age. Sure some Jews/Christians believe it was only 6000 years, but there are plenty of others (like myself) who believe in the Bible and still believe the earth is quite a bit older.

    Anyway when I read this:
    "when matter and light were only just beginning to separate from one another."

    I thought of this:
    Genesis 1:3 And God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.

    I believe Genesis was inspired by God, but written though a person. I think the author of Genesis did a pretty good job trying to find words and descriptions for what they were shown.

    Saved By Grace,

      If you're going to make such strong claims please at least back them up with something more then snide remarks.
