Evolutionists 14 billion years and young earth creationists 6 days are both right
Prologue: We are the universe come alive
A single consciousness, a universal wisdom, pervades the universe. The discoveries of science, those that search the quantum nature of subatomic matter, have moved us to the brink of a startling realization: all existence is the expression of this wisdom. In the laboratories we experience it as information that first physically articulated as energy and then condensed into the form of matter. Every particle, every being, from atom to human, appears to represent a level of information, of wisdom. The puzzle we will confront, in the article library, as we study the behavior of the atomic building blocks of all matter and then the functioning of biological cells is from where does this information arise? There is no hint of it in the laws of nature that govern the interactions among the basic particles that comprise all matter. It just appears as a given, with no causal agent evident, as if it is an intrinsic facet of nature. The concept that there might be an attribute as non-physical as information or wisdom at the heart of existence in no way denigrates the physical aspects of our lives. Denial of the pleasures and wonder of our bodies is a sad misreading of the nature of existence. The accomplishments of a science based on materialism have given us physical comforts, invented life-saving medicines, and sent people to the moon. The oft-quoted statement, "not by bread alone does a human live" (Deuteronomy 8:3), lets us know that there are two crucial aspects to our lives, one of which is bread, physical satisfaction. The other parameter is an underlying universal wisdom. There's no competition here between a metaphysical spirituality and the material. The two are complementary, as in the concept 'to complete.'
When we see through the camouflage haze that at times convinces us that only the material exists and we touch that consciousness, we know it. A joyful rush of emotion sweeps over the entire self. It's telling us that we've come home. We've discovered the essence of being. Everyone has felt it at some time or other. Perhaps at a brilliant sunrise, in a work of art, the words of a lover. The physical and the metaphysical join.
If we dared, we'd call the experience spiritual, even Godly. But there's a reluctance to use the "G" word. "Listen to the Force" is acceptable on the great silver screen. Had Star Wars said "Listen to God," the theater would have emptied in a flash. The reluctance is not surprising considering the bizarre claims erroneously attributed to God through the ages and especially in our age. Fortunately, most of those claims are based on the expectations for the putative God of the Bible that we learned as children. Obviously, when our child-level wisdom is evaluated by our adult minds, that wisdom is bound to seem naive. For many, it comes as a surprise that there is far more sophistication to the metaphysical than that which we learned as youngsters.
The age-old theological view of the universe is that all existence is the manifestation of a transcendent wisdom, with a universal consciousness being its manifestation. If we substitute the word information for wisdom, theology begins to sound like quantum physics. We may be witnessing the scientific confluence of the physical with the spiritual. We are, each of us, a part the universe seeking itself. We struggle between a world that seems totally material and the emotional, even spiritual, pull we all feel at times. To relegate, a priori, those feelings of love and joy and spirituality to some assumed function of our ancestors' evolutionary drive for survival masks the greatest pleasures in life, the experiential realization of the metaphysical.
Hadrons and Leptons epochs
In the early moments of the 6 days of creation, at .00001 of a second, the earth cooled enough to cause quark and anti-quark creation and in the high density, about the size of a grapefruit universe, collisions resulted in annihilations and the release of photons of energy.
For every 10 billion pairs of quark and anti quark collisions there was an extra quark, it becoming the tiny fraction that makes up the mass of the universe, electrons, protons and neutrons.
The occurrence (Retro Causality) of an electron particle/antiparticle pair, never born alone, popping up is one event, and it "happens" both towards the "future and towards the "past“. A particle is identical to its anti-particle except that the electrical charges are reversed. That causes the direction of time to reverse. A particle is born there where an anti-particle dies, and vice versa. When particle and anti-particle meet they annihilate turning into one photon.
When this process completed, at .001, with the universe now the size of our solar system there was quark confinement and all the building blocks were in place for a 100 billion galaxies, each containing a 100 billion stars and near one of those stars a planet brimming with potential for life.
In 1905 Einstein introduced the Special Theory of Relativity and one of the most famous equations in the history of science, E=mc2. This equation signifies that energy and mass are convertible: Energy (E) equals mass (m) multiplied by the speed of light (c) squared.
Einstein based special relativity on two postulates.
1st that the speed of light is constant—186,000 miles per second—regardless of whether or not a body is in motion and regardless of its frame of reference.
2nd Quantities we assumed to be absolute—time, length, and mass—are not in fact so. Example, a spacecraft that blasts off for Proxima Centauri and travels there at ninety-five percent of the speed of light would become significantly shorter to the observer on Earth while maintaining the same length when measured by those traveling in the spacecraft. Meanwhile on Earth 4.5 years would elapse before the ship arrived at its destination 4.35 light years away. But the extremely precise atomic clock on the ship would show just 1.4 years passing. Time depends entirely on which way you are looking. From the Bibles perspective looking forward in time, the start of day one, or us looking backward in time from the present.
Cosmic background radiation
Einstein’s relativity theory implies that time slows the faster you travel.
(CBR) occupying the space between stars and galaxies, (the background), completely dark and at the completion of creation day 6, and still today, has a fixed temperature of 2.73K (approximately - 270C or -450F). Its wave frequency is the rate which the cosmic clock ticks. The directly measureable coordinate along the line of sight is not time, but redshift (z) – the ratio of CBR frequencies at some distance in the past relative to CBR frequencies observed today.
A blueshift is any decrease in wavelength, with a corresponding increase in frequency, of an electromagnetic wave; the opposite effect is referred to as redshift. In visible light, this shifts the color from the red end of the spectrum to the blue end. (Article eye)
If this explanation is a little much use 2 Peter 3:8 instead.
The temperature at the start of time, quark confinement, at the 1st millisecond of time, was then (10.9 x 10*12K) to the now (2.73K) Every time the universe doubles this temperature decrease by 2K, so in doing the math the earth doubled its expansion 900,000,000,000 times by the time God finished creation. If you divide the evolutions 14 billion years by 900 billion expansions and multiple that fraction of a year, .015556, by 365 you get 5.68 days.
The .32 shortfall is the time, Planck era, slightly before quark confinement, an earlier time physicists need to heat up the The Large Hadron Collider to prove (TOE) & (GUT). (More on this later is this article)
1. The big bang marks the creation of the universe; light laterally breaks free as electrons bond to atomic nuclei; galaxies start to form
2. Disk of Milky Way forms; Sun, a main sequence star forms
3. The earth has cooled and liquid water appears 3.8 billion years ago followed almost immediately by the first forms of life: bacteria and photosynthetic algae
4. Earth’s atmosphere becomes transparent; photosynthesis produces oxygen-rich atmosphere
5. First multi-cellular animals; waters swarm with animal life having basic body plans of all future animals; winged insects appear
6. Massive extinction destroys over 90% of life. Land is repopulated: hominids and then humans
A measure of the Doppler stretching of the light wave from the galaxy in which the Cepheid is located (known as the red shift) gives a measure of how fast that Cepheid’s galaxy is moving away from the Milky Way, provided the red shift is due totally to the galaxy’s motion (gravity also stretches light waves). From there it is one step to calculating the Hubble constant and from that the age of the universe but this calculation is an extrapolation and could be off (+or-) 5 billion years.
The million-million-to-one ratio between Genesis time during the six days of creation and our current perception of time is not an extrapolation. That ratio is based on the known threshold temperature at which matter (protons and neutrons) form, a value measured in today’s physics laboratories , (10.9 x 10*12K), and the present measured temperature of the black of space, (2.73K), the cosmic radiation background.
Are these two time frame values mentioned in Genesis?
(10.9 X 10*12K) Genesis 2 KJV 2:4 these are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens
(2.73K) Genesis 5 KJV 5:1 this is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
What happened to the dinosaurs? They came and went in day six.
Wasn’t Adam the first man? Hebrew has two words for soul, nefesh and neshama.
“And God created….every animal….” (Gen 1.21) All animals, humans included, share this first creation. It signifies the influence of the nefesh, the soul of animal life. A few verses later when the text tells of humans, there is a further creation, one in which lower animals did not share. “And God created the Adam…” (Gen 1:27) That creation marks the soul of humankind, the neshana.
The 1st seconds in time
The various fundamental particles popped out of the Quantum Foam and, apart from their masses, their differences were not discernible because there was only one force at work in the universe commencing as a singularity. And when it did there came to exist two forces: gravity and the strong-electro-weak force. Genesis 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The universe, a vacuum of space, is not a vast absence of anything; just a vast absence of particles but it can still bend twist and ripple. Below the particle level there is an ocean of turbulence, jars and jolts just below that level, eddies of chance, vortices of possibilities, a state of dynamic becoming not static being.
• Matter feels no difference between gravity and acceleration.
• The visible universe consists of stable particles that connect and thus make space and time.
• Below the energy level at which particles can exist, there is an ocean of chance (called quantum foam); no connectedness and no stability.
• Particles always arise in pairs: matter and anti- matter.
Virtual Partials or Quantum Foam zooming in on empty space, X1035 reveals the constant creation and destruction of matter and anti-matter, electrons and anti-electrons, quarks and anti-quarks. They are created from nothing and disappear back into nothing.
Now particles either responded to gravity by means of their mass or amount of energy, or they responded by means of their strong-electro-weak charge. And the breaching went on.
The strong-electro-weak force spawned the strong nuclear force and the electro-weak force. This caused two major groups of fundamental particles to be identified: quarks that responded to all three existing forces and leptons that did not respond to the strong nuclear force. Leptons are those particles that we can feel but not see, while quarks can be both felt and seen. This caused a significant change in particles dynamics. Also because quarks are generally more massive than leptons. We speak of the mass-dominated era.
The final breach in symmetry happened when the electro-weak force broke apart into the electromagnetic force and the weak force. This breach in symmetry only marked a further difference in the lepton-tribe. Those leptons that had electromagnetic charge followed electromagnetism, and those leptons that did not have electromagnetic charge (the neutrinos) did not follow electromagnetism.
The Large Hadron Collider
They built a large facility in Europe, employing 17,000 people, and for the last twenty five years have been working on figuring stuff out. In order to prove the Higgs theory they needed to determine the cosmic background radiation at the 1st .001 of time, day 1 of creation. They raced protons around a 17 mile circle, in opposite directions, at a speed 3000 times around every second for about ten hours. When the protons collide, they experience temperatures of tens of trillions of degrees centigrade, which is over a hundred thousand times hotter than the center of the Sun. They also discovered the Higgs Boson winning a Nobel Prize in Physics for Peter Higgs and Francois Englert in 2013.
Quark Gluon Plasma occurs when temperatures get so hot protons and neutrons literally melt. Colliders like the Large Hadron Collider can simulate this event, 0.000001 seconds after the Big Bang.
