BIG BANG

Psa. 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament shows His handiwork.

Rom. 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

I recently saw a post on Facebook that talked about a recent discovery that proved the accuracy of the Big Bang theory. What this discovery showed was that the universe was created instantly and was not a random accident but the act of a superior being living outside of the universe in another reality. That is just another way of saying, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Here is part of an article from CNN by Leslie Wickman, Leslie is director of the Center for Research in Science at Azusa Pacific University. Wickman has also been an engineer for Lockheed Martin Missiles & Space, where she worked on NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and International Space Station programs.

(CNN) The remarkable discovery, announced this week, of ripples in the space-time fabric of the universe rocked the world of science – and the world of religion.

Touted as evidence for inflation (a faster-than-the-speed-of-light expansion of our universe), the new discovery of traces of gravity waves affirms scientific concepts in the fields of cosmology, general relativity, and particle physics.

The new discovery also has significant implications for the Judeo-Christian worldview, offering strong support for biblical beliefs.

The prevalent theory of cosmic origins prior to the Big Bang theory was the “Steady State,” which argued that the universe has always existed, without a beginning that necessitated a cause.

However, this new evidence strongly suggests that there was a beginning to our universe.

If the universe did indeed have a beginning, by the simple logic of cause and effect, there had to be an agent – separate and apart from the effect – that caused it.

That sounds a lot like Genesis 1:1 to me: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth.”

As a modern believer and a scientist, when I look up at the sky on a clear starry night, I am reminded that “the heavens declare the glory of God” (Psalm 19:1). I am in awe of the complexity of the physical world, and how all of its pieces fit together so perfectly and synergistically.

If God is truly the creator, then he will reveal himself through what he’s created, and science is a tool we can use to uncover those wonders.”
I love that, The Lord is confirming His word through man’s new technological discoveries that enable us to gaze into the mysteries of creation. How do these scientific discoveries affect us? They really don’t affect our faith, they only confirm the accuracy of the Word of God. For me, these discoveries fill me with awe when I consider the greatness of the One who created all things. It also overwhelms me when I think of how this Creator of all things entered into His creation to die for me.
