The Speed of Light and Evolutionist Cosmology

The evolutionist works from a time reference tied solidly to the speed of light. This assumption tells him how far the stars are from us, and it affects his dating of the eco-evolutionary model of life on earth.

Now, what if light is subject to entropy, that is, the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics? All things degrade from higher forms or existence to lower forms. Light bends as it passes the earth and other celestial bodies. It must have mass in some form. Light went from being electrons when I was in High School to being photons today. What is it really? It is just possible that the alleged experts have not yet defined light properly, and they may never be able to.

Light DOES have a variable speed. It varies naturally, and it can be done in the laboratory.

Read about the Variable Speed of Light here.

Here is a discussion of the subject by Institute for Creation Research.

The point of creation is the issue. Did God create the universe at one spot and let it explode. If so, the speed of light would have been infinitely greater than the speed of light now. This is because the speed of light now is about 6000 years down the road from its date of origin. The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics demands an explanation other than the common "scientific" assumption that light violates the laws of physics and has been at a constant speed since the primal past. This assumption belongs in the same category at perpetual motion theories.

If we assume, on the other hand, that light conforms to the laws of thermodynamics, it would have slowed down immediately after its creation on the same formula that a bullet fired in a vacuum would slow down. Newton dealt with this in the model of gravity.

If we take two objects and double the distance between them, the force of attraction decreases to one fourth of its former value. http://science.jrank.org/pages/3130/Gravity-Gravitation-Newtonian-gravity.html

This formula works for all models of physical degradation of force, light, and pressure. The reason for the degradation of force is that it is dispersing in 360 degrees from the source in all directions, and its initial force is compromised by its having to occupy more and more space.

This is why people who talk about the terrible results of a nuclear bomb usually have a screw loose when they paint a dreaded picture of the results in damage. They are working on a linear model of force in which all the force leaves ground zero and heads out in a straight line at YOU. If this could be accomplished, anyone in line, in that model, would be massacred for hundreds of miles. But, because the blast goes off in 360 degrees from ground zero, the effect at about 30 to 50 miles would be a 30 MPH wind gust, right after a flash of light. Of course, up to a mile from ground zero is a very different question. The moral is to live well OFF OF the bull's eye.

Back to the degradation of light. If light, following the KNOWN 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, degraded in the first few minutes after God spoke it into existence, then if would break down by one fourth every time its distance from God's mouth doubled.

If God, who exists in infinite time and space and energy, reduced his words to physical laws which he created to control his creation, then we can assume that light started out at close to infinite speed and at once began to degrade in speed as its distance doubled moving out through the container science calls "space.

"Space" is a cute description of an area God created which cosmologists cannot see OUT OF. They cannot find the door, and they cannot open the window, so they assume it is infinite, unless they agree with Einstein. But then, they still cannot find the back door. They are stuck in a test tube closed at both ends, so they imagine the test tube is infinite.

So, after 6000 years or light degrading faithfully in speed by obeying the God-ordained 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, light is very likely close to its static state, or slowly coasting to a stop.

The speed of light is very likely nowhere close to what scientists say it is today. They have NO point of reference to measure the speed of light. To do so, they have to have someone with a stop watch at one point in space, and themselves at a destination spot, and they have to measure the time from a REAL point in space to their laboratory in Vermont or wherever. So, there is no way to set up this test, and there is nothing known that is a much faster speed than light with which to measure the speed of light.

So, the stars may ALL be the same distance from earth, and they may be anywhere from 50 to 300 million light years away, that is, based on the speed of light NOW. Based on the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, and the truth of Genesis 1-3, the stars are ALL no farther than they could go in 6000 years since creation. That may be as little as 6000 real light years of time away.

Some of you have been so indoctrinated by evolution and Mother Goose cosmology that you are now thinking I am a raving lunatic. Well, if you would trash ALL the assumptions of modern science as to origins, you might have the tools to do some rather interesting exploring mentally into real science, God's science.

1 Timothy 6:20 (KJV) O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

You need to get your small mind in gear and decide that it is pleasing to God to stand in total opposition to modern science at any moment. ALL their speculations are flawed by presuppositions that are antichrist. I will give you a classic example.

When the first moon landing was accomplished by the USA on July 16, 1969, the landing vehicle was made to be able to abort the landing at any point and jet back into orbit around the moon. This cost a great deal more than just making the lander able to make one landing without an abort option.

Why was this done? NASA went on the assumption of modern cosmology. The rate of space dust entry into the atmosphere of earth, which may actually be pretty accurate, indicated that there could be up to 70 feet of space dust on the surface of the moon. This was based on trillions of years of space dust on the moon's surface. The moon has no atmosphere to burn up the dust, so the dust hits the moon and accumulates.

The assumption of NASA was that the cloud from that much dust could totally envelop the lunar lander and bury it, making moon walking, and even escape from the moon, impossible. Guess what? There were two inches or less of space dust on the moon.

Here is an astronaut's foot print from that landing.

So, how far away are the stars? Maybe a lot closer than we imagine. And, how big are they? Maybe a lot smaller than the gurus of Mother Goose cosmology say. The Bible clearly distinguishes the creation of the sun from the creation of the stars. It may well be that there is only ONE sun in all of known space, and there is only ONE earth. We are either alone, as modern scientists often speculate, or we are in very good company with God as our next door neighbor.

God has ways, thoughts, and mysteries out there that he has not shown us. We cannot explain them all. We have to simply agree with God and accept what he has given us at face value and enjoy it. This obsessive race to get a peek at Pluto and Betelgeuse is insane.

Isaiah 55:8 (KJV) For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

Better to simply stand back, and agree with David:

Psalms 19:1 (KJV) The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

As for us Scotch-Irish Presbyterians in Texas, it goes like this:

"And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also." (Genesis 1:16)

On the fourth day of Creation Week, God made the two lights for day and night, and then--almost like an afterthought--"he made the stars also." Nothing, of course, is an afterthought with God, but this emphasizes the relative importance of these parts of His creation. Whether or not the earth is the geographical center of the universe, earth is the center of God's interest in the universe. This is where He created man and woman in His own image, and where He will reign over His creation in the ages to come.

The primary purpose of the stars, as well as the sun and moon, was "to divide the day from the night; and . . . be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And . . . to give light upon the earth" (Genesis 1:14-15). They could not fulfill these functions, of course, if their light could not be seen on the earth, so we can be sure that these heavenly bodies and their light rays were created--like Adam and Eve--"full-grown," in a state of functioning maturity.

All that can be known scientifically about the stars must be determined from their light intensity and spectra. (Their distances can be measured geometrically only to about 300 lightyears.) Any other information--any greater distances, size, temperature, etc.--must be derived by inference, based on some theory of stellar evolution.

Although the stars all look alike (even through a telescope, they all appear as mere points of light), these calculations have shown that each one is unique, as revealed long ago in Scripture: "one star differeth from another star in glory" (1 Corinthians 15:41). Those who believe can learn more about them in the ages to come, for "they that be wise shall shine . . . as the stars for ever and ever" (Daniel 12:3). HMM
