The big bang creation event—as taught by the Bible for centuries — now stands well established by astronomers' observations of the universe.
Origin of the UniverseA Beginner's-and Expert's-guide to the Big Bang: Sifting Facts From Fictions7/1/2000 Big bang cosmology is an explosive topic. Heated reactions—and bitter resistance—have arisen from opposite directions in the last century but, ironically, for the same type of reasons: religious reasons. One group of big bang opponents includes those who understand the theory’s implications, and the other, those who misunderstand them. A Dark Galaxy: Finding the "Missing" Dark Stuff10/27/2008 Many independent sets of observations confirm that only about six percent of all the ordinary matter (neutrons and protons) in the universe is made up of stars and stellar remnants.1 The other 94 percent is dark. While astronomers have verified that enormous quantities of ordinary dark matter exist as dispersed intergalactic gas, they have yet to positively identify a totally dark structure of galactic proportions. A Dime's Worth of Difference10/1/2006 The universe is incredibly massive. Nevertheless, its mass must be spectacularly fine-tuned for life to be possible. Exactly how massive the universe is remained unknown until astronomers focused the Hubble Space Telescope on a patch of sky no bigger than a tenth the Moon's (angular) diameter, and held it there for some 278 hours. A New Kind of Star Solves An Old Problem7/9/2007 It is not every day that Hollywood discovers a new star that stands apart from all their other stars. The same is true for astronomers. Only rarely do they discover a new kind of star that is unlike any they have seen before. When they do make such a discovery, however, it typically reveals new insights into how the universe was exquisitely designed to provide a home for life and for humanity in particular.by Hugh Ross Another Dwarf Galaxy Test Of Big Bang Cosmology4/27/2009 Recent astronomical research has accounted for a "missing galaxies problem" and thereby buttressed the notion of a cosmic creation event according to what the Bible has taught for centuries. This big bang creation model is now well established by astronomers' observations of the universe. Another Success for General Relativity1/1/1999 Anyone who has read either technical or non-technical books about twentieth-century developments in physics knows the significance of general relativity. As I seek to explain in The Creator and the Cosmos and Beyond the Cosmos, general relativity establishes a cosmic beginning, hence a Beginner. General relativity affirms that the universe is a dynamic entity, not a static infinitude as several earlier generations of scientists and philosophers had come to believe it. Astronomical Evidences For The God Of The Bible1/1/1992 If the universe is created and the creator is impersonal, then love, compassion, and care are merely illusions. On the other hand, if the Creator is personal, then these attributes and others such as beauty, altruism, mercy, and justice are real and meaningful. Beginning And End Of Cosmology7/16/2007 The irony of modern-day astrophysics is that the more astronomers study the light of the universe the darker the universe appears. Study of the brightest galaxies in the universe persuaded astronomers that 99 percent of the matter in the universe was dark. And measurements of the brightest stars convinced astronomers that three times as much dark energy existed as did dark matter. Big Bang - The Bible Taught It First!7/1/2000 Most science textbooks that address cosmology credit Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson with the discovery that the universe arose from a hot big bang creation event. While it is true that they were the first (1965) to detect the radiation left over from the creation event Big Bang Buttressed1/1/2000 Belief that the universe was created a finite time ago by a transcendent Creator has been strengthened by evidence yet again. A new piece of astronomical research brings good news for Christians and bad news for anyone denying God’s existence or equating God with the universe itself. Big Bang Passes Big Test4/1/2003 Atheist astrophysicist Geoffrey Burbidge once worried aloud that his peers might rush off to join "the First Church of Christ of the Big Bang."1 The rush of which he spoke was precipitated by a deluge of observational support for the big bang. Astronomers had just verified specific predictions coming from the big bang model. Today, that verification continues. The latest comes from the discovery of something called "polarized radiation" in the early universe. Big Bang Stands Firm10/1/2002 During my school days in Vancouver, B.C., I met some really brilliant students, but none of them aced every test. I can say, though, that I have met a theory that does. The big bang has scored well on every test devised and applied by researchers over several decades, and it has just sailed through another one with flying colors. Buttressing The Distance Ladder Foundation For Cosmic Creation7/1/2007 Not until Albert Einstein produced his theory of general relativity in 1916 did scientists even consider the possibility that the cosmos continually expands. And yet five ancient writers-Job, David, Isaiah, Jerehiah, and Zechariah-all described this expansion more than two thousand years ago. For centuries the Bible stood alone as the only text making such a claim about the universe. Cepheid Variable Stars6/22/2009 Not until Albert Einstein produced his theory of general relativity in 1916 did scientists even consider the possibility of continual cosmic expansion. Yet six different Bible authors wrote extensively and explicitly about this continual expansion, “the stretching out of the heavens” under fixed physical laws. Confirming Cosmic Expansion, Part 1 (of 4)3/29/2010 Important decisions in life—who to marry, which job to take, what house to buy—are best made in the context of multiple independent confirmations. Confirming Cosmic Expansion, Part 2 (of 4)4/05/2010 Continual cosmic expansion under fixed physical laws from an actual beginning of matter, energy, space, and time is the key to the biblical cosmic creation model. Confirming Cosmic Expansion, Part 3 (of 4)4/12/2010 Although written thousands of years ago, the Bible’s scientific information was so far ahead of its time that advances in astronomy and cosmology didn’t catch up to it until the big bang theory emerged in the twentieth century. Confirming Cosmic Expansion, Part 4 (of 4)4/19/2010 For over two thousand years the Bible stood alone as the only text to claim that the cosmos have been continually expanding under fixed physical laws from the beginning of space, time, matter, and energy. Cosmic Brane Scans7/1/2002 As physicians use scanning devices to view the hidden structures and activities of the brain, astronomers can now use distant supernovae and high-resolution cosmic background radiation maps to scan the structures and properties of “branes.” Cosmic Creation Model And The First Stars3/10/2008 In attempting to achieve a comprehensive validation of the biblically predicted big bang creation model1 the greatest challenge for astronomers has been assembling a detailed history for the formation of the universe’s first stars. One problem is that such stars are extremely difficult to observe. A second problem is that theoretical models for explaining the physics of star formation during the universe’s early history are notoriously difficult to formulate. Creation Ex Nihilo4/1/2005 Historic Christianity has always maintained a belief in Creation ex nihilo (CEN) as expressed in the ancient Nicene Creed: "We believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible." Scripture teaches that there was nothing but God, and that God by means of his incalculable wisdom and infinite power alone brought the universe (all matter, energy, time, and space) into existence from nothing. Creation Of The First Stars1/11/2010 Scientific evidence for the biblically predicted big bang creation model1 is both overwhelming and compelling. Creation: From, Through, And By The Triune God7/1/2007 A member of my Sunday school class asked me a question after hearing my talk on the Trinity—the biblically derived doctrine of historic Christianity that the one God subsists as three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.1 He asked: “Which specific person in the Godhead created the world?” I have been asked thousands of questions over the last 20 years of teaching and lecturing in both churches and colleges, but that was the first time anyone ever asked me that particular question. Did The Universe Hyperinflate?4/26/2010 For most people, inflation refers to how much money they need to purchase basic goods and to the interest rates on their loans when their government decides to pay its bills by printing more money. Distance To Double Pulsar Tests Cosmic Creation Models5/18/2009 Space-time theorems prove a supernatural Agent must've created the universe of space, time, matter, and energy. These theorems are true, however, only if general relativity reliably describes the dynamics of bodies within the universe. Einstein Exonerated In Breakthrough Discovery7/1/1999 An international team of 31 astronomers, cooperating in what is called The Supernova Cosmology Project (SCP), has just produced the first positive identification of Einstein’s infamous cosmological constant. This discovery yields what may be the most profound evidence to date for divine design of the cosmos.1 Entropy Of The Universe5/10/2010 Entropy measures the amount of decay or disorganization in a system as the system moves continually from order to chaos. By that definition I have one of the most entropic offices at Reasons To Believe. More discouraging yet, the entropy in my office is increasing. Extending The Reach Of Cosmic Creation Measures6/25/2007 Continual cosmic expansion under fixed physical laws from an actual beginning of matter, energy, space, and time is the heart and soul of the biblical cosmic creation model. Moreover, the physical constants that govern cosmic expansion, namely dark energy and the cosmic mass density, provide the most spectacular confirmed scientific evidence for the supernatural design of the universe for the benefit of humanity. Facing Up To Big Bang Challenges1/1/2001 What danger lurks in associating big bang cosmology with biblical cosmology? Most Christian physicists, astronomers, and other scientists would say, “None.” Many Christian philosophers, theologians, pastors, and other nonscientists would say, “A big one.” Geometric Distance To M81 Buttresses The Distance Ladder Foundation For Cosmic Creation12/17/2007 Not until Albert Einstein produced his theory of general relativity in 1916 did scientists even consider the possibility of continual cosmic expansion. Yet, six Bible authors described this expansion in great detail over two thousand years ago.1 Gravitational Lens Measurements Yield New Cosmic Creation Test6/18/2007 The heart and soul of the biblical cosmic creation model calls for continual cosmic expansion under fixed physical laws from an actual beginning of matter, energy, space, and time. For over two thousand years the Bible stood alone as the only text making such claims about the universe. Not until Albert Einstein produced his theory of general relativity in 1916 did scientists even consider the possibility of continual cosmic expansion. Gravitational Lens Test For Creation10/1/2008 Have The Real God Particles Been Found? Part 2 (of 4)1/31/2011 Exciting developments in astronomy and particle physics appear to provide probable, though not yet positive, evidence for the existence of sterile neutrinos and axions (particles that hold the possibility of solving numerous problems in our understanding of the universe and greatly bolstering the evidence for design). Have The Real God Particles Been Found? Part 3 (of 4)2/7/2011 In part 1 of this article series, I described why the Higgs boson is called the “God particle” and why the sterile neutrino appears much more deserving of the title. In part 2, I reviewed astronomers’ efforts over the past twenty years to discover sterile neutrinos and why these searches, to everyone’s surprise, came up empty. Have The Real God Particles Been Found? Part 4 (of 4)2/14/2011 In many respects, we humans are the dominant species on Earth. There are nearly seven billion of us and each of us weighs an average of over fifty kilograms (110 pounds) each. However, compared to ants our total biomass is less than a tenth. Have The Real “god Particles” Been Found? Part 1 (of 4)1/24/2011 Exciting developments in astronomy and particle physics appear to be providing probable, thought not yet positive, evidence for the existence of sterile neutrinos and axions, particles that hold the possibility of solving numerous problems in our understanding of the universe and greatly bolstering the evidence for design. These breakthroughs are so significant, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone or some team involved in these research efforts walks away with the Nobel Prize. How Far Tells How Old7/1/2000 The strength of cosmologists’ model for the origin and development of the universe rests in part on the certainty of astronomers’ distance measurements to stars and galaxies. The only direct measurements researchers have had for stellar distances are those based on trigonometry (specifically, a method called “trigonometric parallaxes”). How Many Baryons Has Your Galaxy Lost?10/25/2010 Losing stuff seems to be part of life. For me, it’s the phone numbers I write down. Even though I write down important phone numbers in at least two different places, I still can’t find them when I need them. Improved Measurements Of Cosmic History Confirming Creation, Part 1 (of 4)5/17/2010 Have you ever looked through a family member’s photo album? As you look over the different photographs, the history of that relative’s life unfolds. The album is especially revealing if the photographs are dated. Improved Measurements Of Cosmic History Confirming Creation, Part 2 (of 4)5/24/2010 Now American astronomers James Davenport and Eric Sandquist have produced yet another star cluster-dating technique. Rather than focusing on the burning turn-on and turn-off times of the cluster’s stars, Davenport and Sandquist probe the spatial and dynamical structure of older star clusters to determine the time of death for the cluster. Improved Measurements Of Cosmic History Confirming Creation, Part 3 (of 4)5/31/2010 The big bang creation model implies quasar merging events occurred during the early history of the universe. Quasars are young giant galaxies undergoing aggressive star formation and rapid growth of the supergiant black holes residing in their nuclei. Improved Measurements Of Cosmic History Confirming Creation, Part 4 (of 4)6/7/2010 As noted in parts 1, 2, and 3 of this article series, examining cosmic history can test the biblical doctrine of cosmic creation in five important ways:
Latest Research Beats Out The Mixmaster ModelJanuary 1, 2010 During my graduate school days, when evidence for a big bang universe was growing exponentially, “mixmaster” models for the universe gained popularity as a potential escape, a loophole for those wanting to ignore the implications of a cosmic beginning in the recent past (as in a few billion or tens of billions of years ago). Locating The Ordinary Dark Matter3/8/2010 In the book of Job, God poses the questions, “Where does darkness reside?...Do you know the paths to their dwellings?”1 Location, Location, Location! Research Reveals Fine-tuning Of The Solar System’s Position10/18/2010 I try to arrive at my speaking events early. Not only do I want to check out the presentation technology, I also want to get a feel for the kind of audience I’ll be addressing. Milky Way Galaxy’s Tiny Black Hole9/1/2008 Through a variety of means astronomers have determined that a black hole exists at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. The latest and most definitive measurement puts the mass of that black hole at 3,6000,000 times the mass of the Sun. More Evidence For Supernatural Creation And Design Of The Universe1/5/2009 Important decisions in life, like whom to marry, are best made in the context of multiple independent confirmations along with efforts to improve their reliability. When all possible confirming efforts say she or he is the right one, one can be confident that the right decision has been made. More Rigorous Test Of General Relativity8/24/2009 Prior to twentieth century developments in physics, scientists and philosophers had come to believe that the universe had been static for infinite time. Then the theory of general relativity affirmed that the universe is actually a dynamic entity. Most Accurate Distances Shore Up Creation History3/3/2008 Opponents of big bang cosmology, both atheists and young-earth creationists, frequently attempt to push aside very compelling and overwhelming physical evidence in favor of this biblically predicted model1 by picking apart the limiting factor in determining the details of the cosmic creation story. This limiting factor is the ability of astronomers to determine accurate distances to other galaxies. Most Detailed Map Of Cosmic Background Radiation Confirms Biblical Creation Model7/1/2006 A team of American and Canadian astronomers dramatically strengthened the case for a big bang creation (thoroughly biblical1) when they released the latest map of radiation left over from the cosmic origin event.2 The team made public their analysis based on three years' continuous observations of that cosmic background radiation via satellite-the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP). Multifaceted Design Of The Strong Nuclear Force5/14/2007 Protons and neutrons are like people. There is a just-right separation distance between them to foster the best possible chemistry. Put them either too close or too far apart and their capacity to interact with one another will sharply diminish. To get the just-right interactions between protons and neutrons so that stable atoms, molecules, and chemistry are possible, it is critical that the strong nuclear force be exquisitely fine-tuned in several different ways. New Astronomical Proofs For The Existence Of God1/1/1998 "It really does matter, and matters very much, how we think about the cosmos," declares historian and college president Dr. George Roche. Immanual Kant, for example, posited an infinitely old and infinitely large universe. Such a universe Kant reasoned might permit an infinite number of random chances. Thus even such highly improbable events as atoms self-assembling into human beings might be possible. God, then, becomes unnecessary. New Lower Limit For Gravitational Wave Energy Density9/14/2009 For lay people, gravity is the most familiar of the fundamental forces of physics. Not a moment goes by where one does not feel the strong pull of gravity toward the center of the earth. Past Cmb Temperature Confirms CreationMay 3, 2006 Astronomers have found evidence in a distant gas cloud that supports a supernatural origin of the universe. Polarization Of Cosmic Microwave Background7/13/2009 Today the scientific evidence for the biblically predicted big bang creation model1 is both overwhelming and compelling. In fact, so much evidence has accumulated that astronomers have been able to identify a very specific cosmic creation model that simultaneously explains the origin, history, and design of the universe. Predictive Power: Confirming Cosmic Creation4/1/2002 Scientists focus enormous effort on turning detections (observations and measurements) into predictions. Meteorologists use data to predict temperatures, wind, and precipitation. Astronomers use data to predict meteor showers and eclipses. Primordial Helium Abundance Test Of Big Bang Cosmology11/26/2007 It is hard to exaggerate the theological significance of big bang cosmology. Until the twentieth century the Bible was the only “text” explicitly describing the fundamentals of big bang cosmology—a Causal Agent beyond space and time, a beginning of space and time, a beginning of matter and energy, continuous cosmic expansion, and constant laws of physics Proving Cosmic Expansion Using Direct Measurements Only6/8/2009 Opponents of the anthropic principle and of big bang cosmology (whether atheists or young-earth creationists) frequently attempt to push aside compelling physical evidence for these biblically predicted cosmological features1 by picking apart the limiting factor in determining the details of the cosmic creation story. This limitation is the inability of astronomers to determine accurate distances to galaxies, both nearby and far away, through direct measurements. Pulsars In Ultracompact Binaries4/6/2009 Two of the strongest and most compelling scientific evidences for the biblically predicted big bang creation model1 include the continuous expansion of the universe and the reliability of Einstein's theory of general relativity in describing the dynamics of bodies within the universe. Both pieces of evidence establish a cosmic singularity beginning; that is, an actual origin of matter and energy and of the space-time dimensions along which matter and energy are distributed. Putting Cosmic Creation To The Test3/28/2011 Thanks to an avalanche of astronomical discoveries made over the past five decades, we now know that the Bible, despite being written thousands of years ago, is correct in all its descriptions of the fundamental elements of big bang cosmology. Since these statements were unique to the Bible until the twentieth century and because they are so detailed and specific, they rank as one of the most dramatic examples of the Bible’s predictive power. Putting The Big Bang To The Test3/14/2003 In 1989 John Maddox, the physics editor for the prestigious journal, Nature, wrote an editorial entitled, “Down With the Big Bang,” in which he (a self-declared atheist) predicted that the big bang theory would not survive even the initial observations coming from the Hubble Space Telescope. Reigning In Weird Cosmic Models10/1/2002 The supposed rebirth of the oscillating universe model made Internet headlines in recent months1 and the lead slot in Science.2 This model posits that the universe oscillates between successive expansions and contractions, each contraction followed by a new big bang. Relativity Reaffirms Creation Doctrine7/1/1999 Though Christians sometimes mistake relativity (a physics term) for relativism (a philosophical term), relativity powerfully testifies of divine creation.1 How? Einstein’s theory of general relativity tells us that space, time, matter and energy all have a finite beginning, a statement uniquely consistent with the biblical doctrine of creation.2 Speed Of Gravity Measured, Scripture Validated4/1/2003 General relativity and the biblical creation model received yet another boost on January 8, 2003, at the 201st meeting of the American Astronomical Society. The boost came from an announcement of the first-ever measurement of the speed of gravity.1 Star Formation In Dwarf Galaxies As A Test Of Big Bang Cosmology12/15/2008 Astronomers’ observations1 of the universe continue to support big bang cosmology–which the Bible has taught for centuries.2 The evidence shows, among other things, that the universe is predominantly comprised of dark energy (energy embedded in the space surface of the universe that causes the cosmic surface to expand faster and faster as the universe ages) and cold exotic dark matter (slow moving particles that weakly interact with photons). Stronger Evidence For The Supernatural Creation And Design Of The Universe7/2/2007 Important decisions in life—like who to marry, what job to take, and what home to buy—are best made in the context of multiple independent confirmations. When every possible confirming source identifies the same choice, you can be confident you have made the correct decision. Temperature Of The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation3/1/2010 For thousands of years the Bible stood alone among all theological, philosophical, and scientific texts in making the claim we live in a big bang universe. Testing Cosmic Creation Models, Part 14/21/2008 At two different outreach events this past month I met both atheists and young-earth creationists who expressed skepticism concerning the evidence I presented for the biblically predicted big bang creation model. Testing Creation Using The Proton To Electron Mass Ratio11/2/2009 For thousands of years the Bible has been on record stating that he laws governing the heavens and earth do not vary. If the constancy of the laws of physics is proven, it would not only establish the Bible's reliable descriptions of nature and predictions of future scientific discoveries, it would also refute young-earth creationism and significantly constrain speculations about string theories and the possibility that scalar fields alter the character of dark energy. The Darkest Galaxy8/22/2011 In Job 38:19–20, God challenges Job and his friends with these queries, “Where does darkness reside? Do you know the paths to their dwellings?” Thousands of years later, we know that the book of Job got it right. Darkness is not merely the absence of light. It is a variety of substances with specific geographical locations in the universe. The Least Luminous Known Galaxy7/6/2009 Astronomers' observations of the universe1 provide substantial support for the cosmic creation event taught in the Bible.2 Evidence shows that the universe is comprised predominantly of dark energy (energy embedded in the space surface of the universe that causes the cosmic surface to expand faster and faster as the universe ages) and cold exotic dark matter (slow moving particles that weakly interact with photons). The Right Temperature6/13/2008 As scientists build their case for big bang cosmology, they rely on increasing knowledge of the universe’s formation. One component, the expansion of the universe, is revealed by the cosmological redshift found in distant galaxies. Tolman's Elegant Test1/1/2002 The cosmic characteristic most extensively described in the Bible is the ongoing expansion of the universe. No other holy book of the world's religions describes this feature, nor was it anticipated by secular scholars before the development of Einstein's theory of general relativity. Vexing Implications10/1/2002 “Disturbing Implications of a Cosmological Constant,” announced the title of a recent paper on the Los Alamos National Laboratory Web site.1 So “disturbing” were the paper’s findings that within a few days the British journal Nature ran an online commentary on them as well. Was evidence mounting against a naturalistic model for the beginning of the universe? Watching The Universe Grow Up4/1/2006 Among the vast expanses of the cosmos, humanity resides on an amazing planet with remarkable conditions for observing the birth and expansion of the universe. It seems as though a purposeful Designer has allowed human civilization and technology to develop so that the Designer's work can be studied in exquisite detail. Where Is The Cosmic Density Fine-tuning?7/23/2007 In addressing audiences about the fine-tuning of the cosmic expansion rate, I have used the illustration that adding or subtracting a single dime to the mass of the observable universe would be enough of a change to make physical life impossible. Why The Universe Is The Way It Is1/1/2006 In the best-selling science book of all time, author Stephen Hawking explains that no human is content until he or she has complete answers to the following questions: "What is the nature of the universe? What is our place in it and where did it and we come from? Why is it the way it is?" Why We Need To Return To The Moon5/28/2007 I vividly recall sitting up all night with a dozen other astronomy students as we watched live on television the first men walk on the moon. The Apollo missions were more than just television spectaculars, however. The Apollo program helped us solve the mystery of the moon’s origin and helped establish how amazingly designed the moon is for the support of advanced life on Earth. Our books The Creator and the Cosmos and Origins of Life tell the story. Wmap Offers Spectacular Proof of Creation Events4/1/2003 Preliminary results from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) have stirred great excitement among physicists.1 Radiometers on board the satellite are sending NASA researchers by far the most detailed maps to date of the radiation left over from the cosmic creation event—specifically of the temperature fluctuations in that radiation.

Big Bang Refined by Fire (Spanish)Price: $3.50 Hugh Ross begins by summarizing the focus of each of his books. He goes on to explain astronomy's unique perspective as it observes and measures the past. He reviews the latest scientific observations, the verification of the Creator's transcendence, the significance of string theory and quantum mechanics, and the evidences for fine-tuning of the universe and of the galaxy to support life. He points out that thirty-five years of research on the Anthropic Principle have built an expanding body of evidence for divine design. Creation and Time (Japanese)Price: $15.00 Hugh Ross looks closely at one of the most commonly held beliefs among Christians and non-Christians alike: that science and Scripture contradict one another about the age of the earth and how the universe began. After a look back to the beginning of the science-faith conflict, Dr. Ross explores what the early church fathers believed, what the biblical texts indicate, and what the scientific data tell us regarding the age of the universe. He concludes with a strategy for peaceful resolution of what has become an emotionally-charged battle.
