Origin of the Universe
Star Formation in Dwarf Galaxies As a Test of Big Bang Cosmology
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 … more
A Dark Galaxy: Finding the "Missing" Dark Stuff
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.1The other 94 … more
Gravitational Lens Test for Creation
Yet multiple Bible passages1 described this cosmic feature—making a bold scientific prediction—more than 2,400 years previous to its discovery.
While astronomers have developed many tests … more
Milky Way Galaxy’s Tiny Black Hole
The latest and most definitive measurement puts the mass of that black hole at 3,600,000 times the mass of the Sun.1
The Milky Way Galaxy’s central black hole by itself is not dangerous to … more
The Right Temperature
One component, the expansion of the universe, is revealed by the cosmological redshift found in distant galaxies. Another component, the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation is considered by … 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
Cosmic Creation Model and the First Stars
In attempting to achieve a comprehensive validation of the biblically predicted big bang creation model1the greatest challenge for astronomers has been assembling a detailed history for the formation … more
Most Accurate Distances Shore Up Creation History
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 … more
Dwarf Galaxy Test of Big Bang Cosmology
The big bang creation event— as taught by the Bible for centuries1— now stands well established by astronomers’ observations of the universe.2This observational evidence shows 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
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
A New Kind of Star Solves an Old Problem
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 … more
Stronger Evidence for the Supernatural Creation and Design of the Universe
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 … more
Buttressing the Distance Ladder Foundation for Cosmic Creation
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, … more
Creation: From, Through, and By the Triune God
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, … 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
Why We Need to Return to 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 … more
