#60: If the universe is seen in terms of General Relativity, one can, through visualizing the ‘slowing’ of time given that system’s mass, actually construct a table that should seem logical to ‘old’ and ‘young’ advocates alike.
Nothing, as long as:
1. The interpretation does not violate this: "...and the evening and the morning were the first day." Genesis uses this phrase 6 times, and confirms if again in Exodus 20:11 (Sabbath Day), and simplest reading is that a day is a literal 24 hour period.
2. The sequence of events is not compromised. To wit, God created light that shined on the earth on day 1, but the Sun Moon and Stars he created on day 4. The Earth was formed as water first, then dry land appeared on day 3. Any attempt to blend the Big Bang/Evolution model with the creation account means one or the other has to be dramatically altered, rendering it infeasible as presented.
If you can present a theory better than that of nuclear synthesis of the elements in successive generations of stars, I’m all ears.
My plain reading of scripture would remain consistent with even the multi-verse concepts of M-Theory, could they ever be born-out in the energies necessary to test them.
God has truly made existence astounding!
May He watch over You and Yours...
