The guy is clearly very intelligent and well educated. These are just theories which can never be proven.(I can’t debate a PhD in Cosmology from MIT) I do think about the “how old is the universe?” question. It seems odd to me that it has a beginning, that it’s not eternal. My original intent was my dislike of using fear to push people towards religion. I think it has a net negative effect.
Just FYI, I do believe in God. I just don’t think the world is 6000 years old, nor do I believe in the “Rapture”.
Well, we have something in common, or two. I too believe in God and believe God took up flesh to dwell among us. I too believe the Earth is a lot oldewr than 6000 years. But from God's perspective looking from the big bang to our day, He sees it as six days old, going on seven. Someone asked me once, while discussing this essay By Dr. Schroeder, why would God pick a 24 hour day for His reference counting? I replied then that I do not know the Mind of God, but since He stepped into Human History as Jesus, perhaps it is natural to take the cycle of Earth's timing as His reference point where He began the spacetime exhibition.
Dr Schroeder is also a Jewish Rabbi and Torah scholar, BTW.
