As I wrote in my #170, our discussion was not so much one of "correction"; rather a "meeting of the minds" wherein we converged on a mutual point of view.

Basically, we now agree that:

1. it is the "light release" moment which is revealed in the CMB

   AND,

2. that the anisotropy that shows up in the CMB was already well developed at the time that free photons were 'unbound'.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That, then, led to the question that I had been addressing:

If the anisotropy was already well developed at "light release" time -- and the inital form of the condensed "soup" was isotropic -- when (and how [or by Whom]) was anisotropy imposed on the isotropic universe?"

As an aid to that discussion, I shared with A-G & bb the prototype of this illustration-under-development:

which illusrates the likely sequence of events -- from both a "scientific" point of view (top) -- and as described in Genesis (bottom).

From my point of view as a physical chemist -- and as a beliving Christian, I see no conflict between the two viewpoints.

Lousy proofreading on the graphic:

"the face of the waters...

Kudos to you, dear brother in Christ! Your graphic is outstanding! Thank you.

Call it a multiverse or alternate dimension, and it’s all smart and sophisticated.

Call it heaven and hell and it’s fables.

Call them extraterrestrials and fund SETI.

Call them angels and demons, and it’s hallucinations and fairytales.

Call it the Big Bang and it’s scientific.

Call it *Let there be light....* and it’s stories of bronze age goat herders.

It’s all in a name. It’s interesting that scientists teach the same things as Scripture, just repackaged.

Love it, BTW.

Very well done! And your illustration conveys so much information in so simple a picture to comprehend! ... An indication of genius at work IMHO. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

From my point of view as a physical chemist — and as a believing Christian, I see no conflict between the two viewpoints.

Neither do I, dear brother in Christ!

Thank you so very much for the elegant descriptive graphic! "A picture is worth a thousand words...."
