The heavens are the only portion of the
creation credited for proclaiming God's
righteousness.
Because the creation of our universe was a supernatural act, we may
never understand factors such as the delivery of light from distances,
which seem to indicate a very old universe. Physicists say that light from
far off galaxies must have traveled through space for billions of years to
reach us, and events such as supernovas occurred before life ever existed
on Earth. However, the
Biblical
chronology dates the universe as equal to that of the Earth or
just over 6000 years old.
Although
these astrophysical measurements might be accurate we must understand that
God created the universe in a manner that simply defies naturalistic
explanation. The Bible says the universe was stretched out, which may be
consistent with observations, such as [[red shift]], that indicate
expansion.
2 Peter 3:5 says that
"''by the word of God heavens existed long ago''", and
Isaiah 42:5 says the Lord "''stretched
out the heavens''".
It has also become apparent that the speed of light is not as constant as
originally thought. We have also recognized that gravity can affect the
passage of time. Dr. Russell Humphreys' white hole cosmology shows that,
given the right starting conditions, the Earth could have been
significantly time-dilated relative to the rest of the universe, thus
allowing star light from deep space to reach Earth.
It should also be noted that the Earth was likewise created with the
appearance of age in defiance of a naturalistic explanation. On the very
day life was formed these organisms would had the appearance of great age.
For them to exist biochemical reactions must have occurred many years
before the Earth ever existed. Although we may wish to explain how these
things could exist, in some cases the supernatural works of God may simply
be beyond our understanding.
