Latest / Brett Keane and Eve Show / Albert Einstein Theory of Relativity Explains God's Six-Day Creation
Transcript
- 0:03In Genesis chapter 1, the Bible tells us that God made
- 0:07everything in six days yet according to modern science.
- 0:13The Earth is 4.5 billion years old and the universe is
- 0:18something like 10 to 15 billion years old.
- 0:22A lot of people have really struggled with this issue.
- 0:26Since it appears that either one or the other of these must be
- 0:30true. And one of them false Many
- 0:34people reconcile the differences by accepting the six days of
- 0:38creation as time periods in a sense, but not literal days, in
- 0:43the sense of what we usually think of, as Earth days.
- 0:47Yet thanks to modern science. Even that much compromise is
- 0:52unnecessary. It's possible for them, both to
- 0:55be literally true. It's entirely possible for the
- 0:59day's to be literally Earth Day long days and also for the
- 1:03universe to be billions of years old.
- 1:07That sounds completely impossible but thanks to
- 1:10Einstein. Modern science provides us with
- 1:13a method of resolving. This And if it's possible for an
- 1:18activity of the human mind like physics to explain this, then
- 1:23how much more possible for God to be able to achieve it, you
- 1:28don't even need a University degree to understand this.
- 1:32It's taught in Senior High School physics and the concepts
- 1:36can be understood. My most people with a bit of
- 1:39thought put into it. Time is relative not absolute.
- 1:45The basic idea is that time is not an absolute thing.
- 1:49It depends on your perspective, very strange, but very true.
- 1:55It's actually completely possible under the right
- 1:58conditions for something to take an hour for one person.
- 2:02And for the exact same, actual event to happen over a year for
- 2:06another person. That seems like it would be
- 2:09impossible outside of Science Fiction.
- 2:13It's obviously completely counterintuitive to what we
- 2:16experienced in ordinary life which is probably why it's been
- 2:21such a big struggle for people who want to believe in both the
- 2:24Bible. And in many of the findings of
- 2:27modern science, This has been known to science since 1905,
- 2:33when Einstein developed his special theory of relativity.
- 2:37Time slows down when you travel fast.
- 2:41The theory of relativity is capable of fully accounting for
- 2:45how something could take six days and yet also take billions
- 2:49of years. How can that even be possible on
- 2:53the surface? It appears to be completely
- 2:56impossible yet. It must happen according to
- 2:59relativity, and it does actually happen according to a vast
- 3:04amount of scientific experimental data which has been
- 3:08used to verify the theory of relativity.
- 3:11Time dilation explains why to working clocks will report
- 3:16different times after different accelerations.
- 3:20For example, at the ISS time goes slower lagging, 0.007
- 3:26seconds behind for every 6 months.
- 3:30Time dilation explains why to working clocks will report
- 3:34different times after different accelerations.
- 3:38For example, at the ISS time goes slower lagging, 0.007
- 3:44seconds behind for every 6 months.
- 3:48For GPS satellites to work, they must adjust for similar
- 3:52relativistic bending of space time to coordinate with systems
- 3:56on Earth. The answer the things we thought
- 4:00of as being fixed and definite for much of the human history
- 4:04are actually flexible. In this case, the Paradox is
- 4:08resolved by the discovery by Einstein that time and length
- 4:12themselves are not the same when observed from different
- 4:15reference frames. It's become well known by some
- 4:20subsets of popular culture such as science fiction, but perhaps,
- 4:26because of its strangeness less well known by the general
- 4:29public, I tried to explain it to my 81 year old mother the other
- 4:34day. And she said, she didn't believe
- 4:37it and that Einstein, and the rest of the scientists must be
- 4:40wrong. But assuming you believe in
- 4:43Einstein and in the vast body of experimental evidence that
- 4:47verifies the theory of relativity, they aren't wrong.
- 4:51And time is relative, not absolute two twins.
- 4:57One of the most popular examples is that of two twins though?
- 5:01They don't need to be twins. They could be anyone at all and
- 5:04it would still work. One of them leaves Earth and
- 5:09travels very fast in a spaceship.
- 5:12A significant fraction of the speed of light for a long way
- 5:16and then returns to earth. When he gets back, his twin is
- 5:21literally older than he is more actual Literal time has gone by
- 5:26for the people on Earth, including the stationary twin
- 5:31than the time that has gone by for the person on the spaceship.
- 5:35The closer you get to the speed of light, the stronger.
- 5:38This effect is if you were to travel at close enough to the
- 5:43speed of light, it would be literally possible for billions
- 5:47of years to go by on Earth while only six literal days of time as
- 5:52measured by an ordinary clock and also measured by your own
- 5:55body's biological processes. Had passed on the spaceship.
- 6:01So according to modern science, it is fully completely literally
- 6:06possible for something to happen in six days and yet.
- 6:10Also for the exact same event to happen over billions of years.
- 6:15Provided that the two observers are observing from different
- 6:18enough situations. Despite this being
- 6:22counterintuitive it's what modern science tells us.
- 6:27Both the theoretical science has developed by Einstein and then
- 6:31later a huge amount of experimental e measured evidence
- 6:35has validated that. This is actually what really
- 6:37does happen in real life. And that's just one example of
- 6:42how time is not fixed in the way that we normally think of it.
- 6:47There are others time slows down near a black hole.
- 6:52Another good example which came later with the discovery.
- 6:56Again, by Einstein of general relativity in 1915 is that time
- 7:03slows down in the presence of gravitational fields like with
- 7:08special relativity and the speed of light in ordinary everyday
- 7:12life situations, where you aren't traveling anywhere near
- 7:16close to the speed of light. These effects are so tiny as to
- 7:19never be noticed or even big enough to measure these effects
- 7:25do happen on Earth to, but at a very subtle level, For example,
- 7:30at sea level, you age, one, billionth of a second less every
- 7:34year than you would. If you lived on top of Mount
- 7:38Everest, because the Earth's gravitational field is slightly
- 7:43stronger, when you're slightly closer to the Center of the
- 7:46Earth, The gravitational effects on time.
- 7:50Require a lot of gravity to become truly noticeable.
- 7:55Yet, if you have enough gravity, they become extremely
- 7:58noticeable, time slows down near a black hole.
- 8:04The most commonly discussed example, of this effect of
- 8:07gravity on time is close to a black hole.
- 8:11Since black holes have more gravity than anything else,
- 8:15pretty much by the definition of what a black hole is.
- 8:19The closer you get to a black hole and therefore the stronger
- 8:24the gravitational field, you experience the more that time as
- 8:28you experience it will slow down compared to the rate that time
- 8:32passes away from the black hole. The effect on time.
- 8:36Close to a black hole is similar to the experience of the twin
- 8:40traveling really fast in the spaceship. close to the black
- 8:45hole, you will age Less Than People far away from it will If
- 8:50you're close enough to the black hole, you could literally sit
- 8:54there if you hadn't been crushed to death, by the intense gravity
- 8:58for six literal days of your literal actual time.
- 9:02While you literally watched billions of literal actual years
- 9:05of time. Go by for people far away from
- 9:08the black hole in the same time period that took six actual
- 9:13literal days of your time. So it is entirely possible for
- 9:18something to happen. Literally in six literal days
- 9:21and yet also happen over billions of years.
- 9:25And if human scientific understanding can explain this
- 9:29with our limited mortal human brains.
- 9:32How many more things are possible with God?
- 9:36And even with just the level of difficulty of understanding,
- 9:39that's been explained on this one web page.
- 9:43And nothing more than that. It would be possible for God to
- 9:47have been sitting in a strong gravitational field and or
- 9:51traveling very fast when he created the universe in six
- 9:55literal days of time. And that same literal Six-Day
- 10:00period. Experienced by God, would have
- 10:02taken billions of literal years to occur on Earth.
- 10:07I think it's also safe to assume that God knows more about the
- 10:11universe than we as mortal humans do.
- 10:15So there must be even more things than we can think of,
- 10:18that would make it possible for God's word to still be true
- 10:23while we as humans are still able to observe the things that
- 10:26we do, observe about the natural world.
- 10:29Found with there being no real contradiction apart from perhaps
- 10:34occasionally an illusory, one created by our own, lack of
- 10:37ability to understand the bigger picture and how everything all
- 10:41fits together. The Bible told us this all along
- 10:46long before. Einstein gave us the theory of
- 10:49relativity to explain how time can be literally different for
- 10:53different observers. It Was Written in the Bible.
- 10:57For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has
- 11:00just gone by. Psalm 19:4.
- 11:05NIV Psalm chapter 90, is attributed as a prayer of Moses,
- 11:11the man of God Wikipedia says, that unique among the Psalms it
- 11:17is attributed to Moses, thus making it the first Psalm to be
- 11:21written chronologically. The New Testament also gives us
- 11:26a similar message, but don't forget this one thing beloved
- 11:31that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years and a thousand
- 11:35years as one day. Second, Peter 3:8, having
- 11:41studied and taught relativity physics and also being a
- 11:45Christian to me, this seemed like an obvious resolution to
- 11:49the issue of six days versus billions of years.
- 11:54After writing, the first draft of this page, I had a look
- 11:57online for others who had arrived at a similar
- 12:00explanation. You can read more about them
- 12:04using Google search later on. I'll go over this whole page and
- 12:09fix it up some more and improve it.
- 12:13The Bible verse says God, made everything in six days.
- 12:18Logically that would imply that it took God 6 days in his time
- 12:22frame to make everything. It doesn't say that God made
- 12:27everything. While we watched it all happen
- 12:29in six days, all that God made everything in six days as seen
- 12:35in the timeframe of some other Observer, a broader perspective,
- 12:40much of the last few hundred years of the human race has
- 12:44involved us making all kinds of new and amazing discoveries.
- 12:49Which have contributed to things like science than the Industrial
- 12:52Revolution. The initial response of much of
- 12:56humanity from this has been to move away from traditional
- 12:59teachings. Like feelings of trust that our
- 13:03Father in heaven knows more than we do.
- 13:07And that his word in the Bible contains more wisdom than our
- 13:10own human wisdom. This disbelief, in our heavenly
- 13:15father is very much like the Adolescent stage of Modern Life.
- 13:20However, as Humanity matures, it becomes more clear at least to
- 13:26some that those disbelieving ideas were based on partial
- 13:30truths from not seeing the whole picture and were therefore
- 13:33incorrect. And that modern discoveries like
- 13:38the genuinely experimentally verifiable parts of science as
- 13:42opposed to the other kind of science.
- 13:45Do not contradict the truths of God's word in the Bible.
- 13:50This page is a small part of a greater effort to bring the
- 13:53ancient truths of scripture back into relevance in our modern
- 13:57world. God's truth is not made invalid.
- 14:01By the ways that some things appear to Mortal humans when
- 14:04viewed in a certain way, This includes modern observations
- 14:10made under certain highly specific conditions where they
- 14:13appear to contradict the Bible. And often originating from a
- 14:18Godless philosophy. That's very different to the
- 14:21days. When basically, everyone from
- 14:23Western backgrounds, including the founders of science itself
- 14:27believed in the Bible,
