JOHNNES KEPLER 1571-1630 ASTRONOMY LAWS OF PLANETARY MOTION “I had the intention of becoming theologian…but now I see how God is, by my endeavours, also glorified in astronomy, for “the heavens declare the glory of God.” “I am a Christian.” “I believe…only and alone in the service of Jesus Christ.. In Him is all refuge, all solace.”
1. Kepler’s first law of planetary motion: Each Planet moves about the sun in an orbit that is an ellipse. The sun is at one focus of the ellipse. 2. Kepler’s second law of planetary motion: The straight line joining a planet with the sun sweeps out equal areas in equal amounts of time. This means that the planet travels faster when it is closer to the sun.

SIR ISAAC NEWTON 1642-1727 Law of Gravity and Laws of Motion “All my discoveries have been made in answer to prayer.” “I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by men who were inspired. I study the Bible daily.” “Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system, I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. “This did not happen by chance.”

If the solar system is billions of years old, then “long period” comets should not exist. • The evolution model postulates that they are being replaced – the Oort cloud • Problems with the Oort cloud • It has never been observed • There is NO evidence that it exists • Not enough mass in the hypothetical Oort cloud

Two models Evidence of age Origin of stars Scientific evidence and the Bible Evidence Scientific evidence of Creation
A. The Origin of Stars And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. Genesis 1:16 16 Tin-Hungh zeix cuotv i norm domh njang daaih. Hlo wuov norm ninh bun gunv lungh hnoi zanc. Faix wuov norm gunv lungh muonz zanc. Ninh aengx zeixhleix cuotv daaih aqv (Tin Deic Douh 1:16).
B. God Created Stars “Lift your eyes and look and to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and Mighty strength, not one of them is missing.” Isaiah 40:26 “Meih mbuo cau hmien mangc gu’nguaaic, haaix dauh zeix naaiv deix ga’naaiv? Se dongh dorh hleix-guanh ziux soux mouc cuotv daaih, yaac heuc norm-norm nyei mbuox wuov dauh. Weic ninh henv haic nyei domh qaqv ziouc maiv caa yietc norm hleix.” I^saa^yaa 40:26
“Yie cau hmien mangc lungh, buatc meih longc buoz zeix daaih nyei ga’naaiv, buatc hlaax caux hleix, se Ziouv ganh bun maaih ganh nyei dorngx yiem” (Singx Nzung 8:3). When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained (Psalms 8:3)
The Origin of Stars • (Ex 20:11) For in six days…Juqv hnoi. • (Ps 19:1) The heavens declare the glory of God. Lungh zunh yaanghTin-Hungh nyei njang-laangc. • (Ps 33:6) By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them. Weic Tin-Hungh nyei waac, lungh ndau caux nyungc-nyungc yiem gu’nyuoz nyei ga’naaiv duqv zeix cuotv daaih. • (Ps 148:5) For he commanded, and they were created. Tin-Hungh hatc nyungc-nyungc ziouc cuotv daaih aqv.
Evidence of God Created Stars Kungx meih ganh nduqc dauh zoux Ziouv. Meih zeix lungh, caux hlang jiex nyei lungh, caux yiem lungh nyei zuangx hleix. Meih zeix baamh gen caux baamh gen nyei maanc muotc. Zeix koiv caux yiem koiv nyei yietc zungv ga'naaiv. Meih bun maanc muotc maaih maengc ziangh jienv. Lungh zaangc nyei yietc zungv ga'naaiv buoqc zaangc meih (Ne^haa^mie 9:3). Thou, even thou, are Lord alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host (Nehemiah 9:3)
Evidence of Bible “Se yie zeix baamh gen yaac zeix mienh daaih yiem baamh gen. Yie ganh nyei buoz corng lungh yaac hatc ziangx yiem wuov nyei zuangx hleix.” (I^saa^yaa 45:12) “I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their hosts have I commanded (Isaiah 45:12)
(John 1:3) All things were made by him. • Nyungc-nyungc ga’naaiv ninh zeix daaih( Yo^han 1:3) • (Rev 4:11) … “For thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” • Laauc Yaangh 4:11…. “Weic zuqc meih zeix maanc muotc cuotv daaih. Maanc muotc ei meih nyei eix duqv zeix cuotv daaih, yaac duqv ziangh jienv.”
Is stellar formation by natural processes compatible with Scripture? No! Weic Tin-Hungh nyei waac, lungh ndiev caux hleix ziouc zeix cuotv daaih aqv (Tin Deic Douh 1:1-29; 2 Bide 3:5-7). It is by the Word of the Lord that the universe and stars were created (Genesis 1:1-29; 2 Peter 3:5-7).
“Meih mbuo cau hmien mangc gu’nguaaic, haaix dauh zeix naaiv deix ga’naaiv? Se dongh dorh hleix-guanh ziux soux mouc cuotv daaih, yaac heuc norm-norm nyei mbuox wuov dauh. Weic ninh henv haic nyei domh qaqv ziouc maiv maaih yietc norm hleix laaih ziqc.” “Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.” Isaiah 40:26
