Laws of Physics
The Metaphysics of Quantum Mechanics
Quantum mechanics is the science of the small, typically describing phenomena that occur at the atomic level. Throughout the history of science, it has been interested in describing the nature of … more
Mathematics and the Physical Universe
More than once, scientists and philosophers have noted how mathematics can describe, with remarkable precision, the laws that govern our universe. An example of this is found in the article The … more
Testing Cosmic Creation Models, Part 2
In my previous contribution to Today’s New Reason To Believe I described how Bayesian statistical analysis by two Polish researchers on the latest measurements defining the history of the … more
Testing Cosmic Creation Models, Part 1
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 … more
A Carbon-14 Coincidence
A few weeks back I mentioned the benefits to scientific discovery provided by this coincidence. By using it, astronomers learned about the Sun’s corona, were able to test Einstein’s … more
A Major Test for Relativity
It isn’t often that a scientist correctly predicts something that will occur within less than two years in a galaxy 3.5 billion light-years away. Yet that’s what Finnish physicist Mauri … more
White Dwarfs Deliver Better Creation History
A window that enables astronomers to rigorously test the biblically predicted big bang creation model. 1Thanks to a new set of measurements on burnt out stars—known as white dwarfs—that … more
Geometric Distance to M81 Buttresses the Distance Ladder Foundation for Cosmic Creation
Yet, six Bible authors described this expansion in great detail over two thousand years ago.1For centuries, the Bible stood alone as the only text making such claims about the universe. Consequently, … more
Primordial Helium Abundance Test 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 … more
Black Holes Provide More Evidence for Strings
The significance of string theory is that if it or some other multi-space-dimensional theory of physics accurately describes physical reality, then religions that insist on a doctrinal construct of … more
Where Is the Cosmic Density Fine-Tuning?
This word picture helps to demonstrate a number used to quantify that fine-tuning, namely 1 part in 1060. Compared to the total mass of the observable universe, 1 part in 1060 works out to about a … more
Beginning and End of Cosmology
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 … more
Extending the Reach of Cosmic Creation Measures
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 … more
Gravitational Lens Measurements Yield New Cosmic Creation Test
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 … more
Trying to See Dark
Is dark just the absence of light, or does it have some substance? If so, how could you detect it? How dark really is dark? Is there a way to build a “dark bulb” so that when you turn it … more
Multifaceted Design of the Strong Nuclear Force
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 … more
Fine-Tuned Quantum Correlations
TNRTB Archive - Retained for reference information
Theoretical calculations identify more fine-tuning in the universe, consistent with the notion of a supernatural Creator making a universe capable … more
Odd Molecule Shows Design
TNRTB Archive - Retained for reference information
An astrophysically necessary but chemically odd molecule (H3+) reveals fine-tuning. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, with H2 … more
New Technique to Probe Gravity
TNRTB Archive - Retained for reference information
A team of Italian physicists has developed a new tool that can be used to test how well RTB’s creation model describes gravity. While … more
Mathematics’ Correspondence with Nature Points to God
TNRTB Archive - Retained for reference information
Scientific advance continues to support the Christian worldview by establishing the remarkable correspondence between mathematics and nature. From a … more
