Origin of the Universe
Reigning In Weird Cosmic Models
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 … more
Cosmic Brane Scans
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 … more
Predictive Power: Confirming Cosmic Creation
Scientists focus enormous effort on turning detections (observations and measurements) into predictions. Meteorologists use data to predict temperatures, wind, and precipitation. Astronomers use data … more
Tolman's Elegant Test
The cosmic characteristic most extensively described in the Bible is the ongoing expansion of the universe.1 No other holy book of the world's religions describes this feature, nor was it anticipated … more
Facing Up to Big Bang Challenges
What danger lurks in associating big bang cosmology with biblical cosmology? Most Christian physicists, astronomers, and other scientists would say, “None.” Many Christian philosophers, … more
How Far Tells How Old
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 … more
A Beginner's-and Expert's-Guide to the Big Bang: Sifting Facts from Fictions
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 … more
Big Bang—The Bible Taught It First!
While it is true that they were the first (1965) to detect the radiation left over from the creation event,1 they were not the first scientists to recognize that the universe expanded from an … more
Big Bang Buttressed
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 … more
Relativity Reaffirms Creation Doctrine
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 … more
Einstein Exonerated in Breakthrough Discovery
This discovery yields what may be the most profound evidence to date for divine design of the cosmos.1
Einstein’s cosmological constant, once widely ridiculed, represents an anti-gravity … more
Another Success for General Relativity
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 … more
