Description:
This seminar provides a general overview of creation astronomy /
cosmology, and highlights important players and resources for future
study. It is designed to be given in two 45-60 minute sessions.
The first
half of the seminar takes a look at the purpose of the celestial bodies, and provides the
Biblical foundation and physical proof for a young universe. The second half analyzes Big Bang cosmology and
presents evidence which argues against this ideology, and shows how the
data instead supports a creation cosmology. It is asserted that the Big
Bang is inconsistent with the Biblical creation, and the Earth occupies a special place
at the center of the cosmos.
