Good post.

I was listening to Charles Clough’s Framework series recently and he brought up an outstanding point.

If those who argue against the 6-day creation revelation were indeed intellectually honest, they would consider the big bang theory presumes a continuity og being with an initial condition that the universe has no boundaries or edges. This assumption in and of itself begs the question, resulting in conclusions which merely reinforce the presumption of a continuity of being.

The Genesis account points quite differently, simply revealing the existence of God and He as the Creator controls all existence ex nihilo.

If one changes the initial conditions in Einsteins General Theory of Relativity, to allow for the ‘edges’ of the universe, the consequence lies in the dilation of time and nicely explains why it may appear to those who assume continuity of being perceive outward expansion of the outlying heavenly bodies.

Then again, if we are indeed the center of the universe as He created things, so too might such perceptions be easily and soundly accounted as evidence of His Creation as it has been truthfully revealed in Scripture.

Einstein was of the zeitgeist in which the universe is eternal and infinite. This still hangs around in man’s psyche. We now now it has a beginning and an end and it is not infinite. This should greatly trouble the non-believer.
