Darwin was a biologist, not an astronomer. The biological theory of evolution is not even remotely related to cosmology -- except that the time required for speciation is consistent with the age of the universe and the age of the earth. No "scientist" would even think to "extended Darwins evolutionary theory into the universe" because stars aren't biological entities.
You do but scientists don't? Scientists do extend and link together biological evolution and cosmological evolution. Or at least they snuck it under your radar.
I would like to clear up a few ideas regarding the Christian life that seem to be confusing. This relates to this thread because we believe that Darwin's theory was the final straw that enabled intelligent people to "logically" reject the concept of God.
This is the context of our ongoing discussion.
Euclid probably believed in the Olympian gods. So what?
Have you read an extensive commentary where Euclid used his superior intellect to support his belief in Olympian Gods? Newton has laid out why he believes in Jesus in a logical cogent fashion. Check out his extensive research regarding the prophecies in the book of Daniel. Newton was convinced by his own logic of Christ's authenticity.
If light, being particles having mass (strangely traveling in waves), approaching a black hole accelerates the C (light traveling about 186,000 miles per second not so constantly) in E=MC2 would cause a clock in that area of space, relative to our clocks on earth, to be way faster than normal (relative to the acceleration).
[Sigh.] Not faster. Slower. Much slower.
So you believe that if light traveled faster than 186,000 relative to an area of space, the clocks in that area would slow down. I believe you have the astronaut twin analogy confused with what I am saying. The traveling astronaut is accelerating to a point where he approaches 186,000; therefore time slows down for him.
But if the speed of light accelerated the converse would happen.
Speed of light C = 186,000 miles per sec.
Speed of light Cx5 near black hole = 930,000 miles per sec
Atomically the age of things is a relative consideration.
