  1. Biblical Cosmology And Related History

  2. Interpretation of observations of the world around us is coloured by our belief system: Psalm 138 verse 2 (NIV): ..you have exalted above all things your name and your word”. Luke 19 verses 11 & 14 (NIV): “He (Jesus) went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought the kingdom of God was going to appear at once…… ..but his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say “We don’t want this man to be our king.”

  3. Cosmology According to the Bible • Genesis 1 >> Exodus 20:8 (NIV) “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy....For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day.” • Acts 7:22 (NIV) “ Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action.”

  4. Cosmology According to the Bible • Genesis 1: 2, 6, Ch 7 >> 2 Peter 3:5 (NIV) “..by God’s word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world was of that time was deluged and destroyed.” • Genesis 1:14-18 >> Ps 104:2 (Also Isa. 42:5, 44:25, 4813, Jer. 10:12, Zech. 12:1) “.. He stretches out the heavens like a tent.”

  5. Cosmology According to the Bible • Genesis 5, 11 >> Luke 3: 23-37 (NIV): “Now Jesus himself was about 30 years old… He was the son, so it was supposed of Joseph, the son of Heli, the son of Matthat………. the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.” = 66 generations from Adam (creation) to Jesus.

  6. Departure from Biblical Geology (& Cosmology) • In Christendom the concept of an Earth older than 4000 BC only gained recognition in 1830 from Sir Charles Lyell in Principles of Geology, following work in 1788 by James Hutton. • Principles of Geology was loaned to Charles Darwin by the Captain FitzRoy of the HMS Beagle as they set out on the voyage that resulted in On the Origin of Species Ref: Wikipedia article on Sir Charles Lyell.

  7. Return to Biblical Geology & Cosmology • The Genesis Flood, 1961 • Dr’s John Whitcomb & Henry Morris A re-interpretation of geology in terms of Noah’s great flood • Starlight and Time : Solving the Puzzle of Distant Starlight in a Young Universe, 1994 • Dr Russell Humphries • A New Cosmology: Solution to the Starlight Travel Time Problem, 2003 • Dr John G. Hartnett

  8. Humphries White Hole Cosmology • The Universe has expanded from a previously denser state • Same as Big Bang • The denser state was a Black Hole that flipped into a White Hole allowed for by General Theory of Relativity

  9. Humphries White Hole Cosmology • The Black Hole was a sphere of liquid water two light years in diameter with event horizon of a billion light years • White Hole is opposite of a Black Hole -matter poured out not in and its event horizon shrank rapidly as matter left. • The “Water Above” (Gen 1:7) spread out to 20 billion light years • With no impact on Earth since Day 4

  10. Humphries White Hole Cosmology • All protons in the original Black Hole were aligned in one direction to give one combined magnetic dipole that then dispersed into the heavenly bodies • Humphries predicted the magnetic fields of the planets of the solar system as decaying over 6000 years from that field based on planet masses. • Much better prediction than the Old universe Dynamo model based on liquid metal cores. Ref: Beyond Neptune: Voyager II Supports Creation, 1990, Dr R. Humphries

  11. Humphries White Hole Cosmology • The Earth was at or close to the Black/White Hole • Time was dilated (slowed) greatly on Earth within the deep gravity well of the Black/White Hole • until Creation Day 4 when the event horizon of the White Hole shrank back past Earth • Billions of years occurred in the expanding Universe as Day 4 passed on Earth.

  12. Humphries Time Dilation Outer Galaxies Space Dilated Time Normal Time Nearby Galaxies SN1987A Large Magellanic Cloud Our Galaxy Crab Nebulla 1987AD 1054AD 6000 years of History Creation Day 4 Earth Time

  14. Problems with Humphrey Model It predicts large Blue shifts from nearby galaxies that is not observed It does not account for events apparently hundreds of thousands of years old – by redshift - observed from nearby galaxies

  15. Hartnett’s Revision to Humphrey Model • The White Hole expansion and its time dilation (sl0wing) only occurred within our Solar System • Appears to solve near field problem as the time differential is function of the distance from the solar system • The Waters Above are somewhere out in or just beyond the Kuiper Belt and may have contributed to Noah’s flood and comets

  16. Hartnett’s Revision to Humphrey Model • The White Hole expansion and its time dilation (sl0wing) only occurred within our Solar System • Billions of years of aging would have occurred in both near and far galaxies • Most events from nearby galaxies passed us by late on Day 4 or very shortly after and we now observe only the last few hundred thousand years of their history.

  17. Other Indicators of a Young Universe • Salinity Clock. The current salinity and rate of sodium flowing into the oceans only allows for 68 million years accumulation. • The Mysteries of Terra Firma: The Age and Evolution of the Earth, 2001 Professor J. Powell • Decaying Planetary Magnetic Fields. Mercury’s magnetic field measured by Messenger spacecraft in 2011 has declined 8% since Mariner 10 last measured it in 1975. Smith DE et al, Gravity field and internal structure of Mercury from MESSENGER, Science 336: 214-217, 13 Apr 2012.

  18. Inconsistency of Radio-metric Dating • The current dating of the solar system 4.5 Billion years is based on radio-metric dating of iron meteorites made back in 1953 • Strangely there has been little attempt to refine or update this finding compared with most other scientific enquiry • Basalt rocks laid down on top rim of Grand Canyon yield radiometric dates 300 million years older than basalt rocks taken from the bottom of Grand Canyon using 4 different dating methods

  19. Some Problems with the Big Bang (BB) Theory • BB gives no explanation for formation of stars: • Gravity falls well short of the force needed to overcome thermal gas pressure sufficient to trigger nuclear fusion. • Dismantling the Big Bang, 2005, A. Williams and J. Hartnett, Gas Cloud Dynamics, pages 143-147, 150-151 • BB cannot predict the distribution observed in star clusters • Dismantling the Big Bang, 2005, A. Williams and J. Hartnett, Gas Cloud Dynamics, pages 148-150

  20. Some Problems with the Big Bang Theory • Inconsistent red shift between Galaxies and associated QASARS • Contradicts classic Hubble orthodoxy that increased Red shift = increased distance from Earth • Quasars, Redshifts and Controversies, 1987, Halton Arp. • Seeing Red: Redshifts, Cosmology and Academic Science, 1998, Halton Arp. • Catalogue of Discordant Redshift Associations, 2003, Halton Arp. • Halton Arp has suffered continued rejection for rocking the orthodoxy boat
