THE refurbished Hubble Space Telescope has set a new distance record by
discovering the oldest galaxies ever seen, dating back 13 billion years,
or 600-800 million years after the Big Bang, NASA said.
Again the only way the biblical Genesis narrative can be understood, is
as chronology and its relationship to language.
The Sabbath as a rule associated with the Priestly service divisions of
24 x 7 x 13 = 2184 days as 6D (6 x 364 days) 'oth cycle is determined by
computation from the Wednesday of the March Equinox following the elapse
of 6 Jubilees as 294 x 364 days.
Nevertheless, a variation of the 22/7 {= 3.1428571...} equation as
rational PI computation and the 364 day cycle from the DATE(1996,3,20) +
(5 * 364) + 182 days = Wednesday DATE(2001,9,12) gives the Equinox of
Saturday DATE(2001,9,23) as commencing the Sabbath year and the reprise
associated to the following schema as a transcendent negation of the
Gregorian cycle of #400 years x 365.2425 as the basis for replacement

the scientific fact. The light from 13 billion years ago is reaching us
through the Hubble Space Telescope. See http://hubble.nasa.gov/

The light which falls on your eyes from any greater distance than about

I thought you said that God created the deceptive light that lies to

Let me guess - you have no evidence at all and you are just asserting

discovered from the evidence.

This is priceless!
Its been verified by scientists. Are you a scientist by any chance?
If not then be quiet.
Certainly I have a valid point, several in fact:
First is that you are delusional.
Second is that God TOLD us how he created the Universe.
Third is that He created a mature Chicken, mature cows, a mature Whale,
mature trees, and a mature man in a mature universe -- which is now just
about 7 thousand years old.
My third valid point, is that the big bang universe and evolution are
lies of Satan.
Hubble, along with all others who believe in the 14 billion year old
expanding universe, are deceived by Satan.

Others have rightly observed your conduct has no grounding in reality

No, it has not "been verified by scientists."
As I said, the 14 billion year old expanding universe theory is utter
crap, and so called "scientists" who believe it simply pervert and
falsify the evidence which falls on their eyes to support the LIE they
wish to believe.
You think you do, but all that you Bible believers have is personal beliefs
and private interpretations.
Personal beliefs and private interpretations are not valid points.

Please refresh our memories. How did God say that he create the universe?
What kind of energy did he use etc? How did he form everything?
I don't recall seeing any actual technical details of the process of
creation.

That's just a really superstitious statement, not a valid point.
Its hard to believe that in the 21st century there are still people around
that say such superstitious and silly things.
Were you raised in the Bible belt or something?
Do you still believe that the earth is flat? If not then good, but realise
that you're actually not too far from that worldview.
I bet it was a Bible bleating preacher who told you all that.
I can tell that you haven't investigated any of this for yourself.
Prove me wrong.
The "scientific opinion" you quote is a lie of Satan.
As for delusion, read the Truth:
2 Thes 2:
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;
because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they
should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth...
"science" with it's big bang expanding 14 billion year old universe, and
evolution, are delusions brought on those who have no love of truth.
ANYONE who believes those Satanic lies is suffering from delusion.
You lost. Now tell me how much you bet.

Apologists don't truly seek the truth, they instead seek to justify all the
stories in the Bible as the undying truth of God to impress and gain favours
from him so they get their reward in the afterlife.
But little do they know that the Bible is not 100% divinely inspired so
they're actually making fools of themselves.
And you will notice on the about page that the author of the site doesn't
want to be identified. Why would that be I wonder.
Yes, and each of them was created by God in His act of creation, and the
light from each of them was created by God.

My mind boggles at the idea of looking through a telescope
and seeing millions of years. It just doesn't add up in my brain.
But I realise that it is possible to think in terms of millions
of years when the Creator God of the Bible is eliminated from
one's thinking. In fact, it's then the only way those persons can
make their judgments. It has to be mllions of years to allow

If you were intelligent as you think you are, you would indeed "wonder."
THEN you would do a little investigation, and THINK. Oh, but you can't
THINK, can you? How utterly sad.
And God made it look like the universe is much older just to fool scientists
so they'll all end up in hell right?
So why does God hate scientists so much that he wants them and any who
believe them to all go to hell just for getting a timeframe wrong?
You can't be serious man.
Is your god that evil and afraid of being found out that he has to kill off
all the scientists and generally smart and educated people? Or is it just
your superstitious fundy religious clergy are afraid of being seen for what
they are so they have fooled rubes like you to help keep them going?
Do you know how to use Occam's razor at all?
Do you realise how incredibly superstitious that sounds?

All you science buffs, tell me how a Telescope can be used to set up
an experiment that shows the moment of the emergence of light -
a given number of millions of years ago.
A truly scientific experiment that is repeatable and testable,
What is happening is that you know the speed of light and you
calculate
backwards. Is that the way you are working???
BUT WHAT IF THERE WAS A CREATOR GOD WAY BACK THEN
AND THAT CREATOR GOD WAS SO OMNIPOTENT THAT HE COULD SPEAK
AND THE UNIVERSE APPEARED. EX NIHILO = OUT OF NOTHING!!!???
And that Creation actually happened six to ten thousand years ago!

How much thinking does it take to just believe and have faith which is all
you really do, despite your dishonest pretence and turning of tables?
I once had a 3.5 inch telescope, adequate for watching Jupiter's moons
dance in his presence, and seeing the rings or Saturn...
Unfortunately, I couldn't see (that I knew of) out past some few
thousand light years.
Still, I realized that God HAD created a mature very, very wide
universe, as wide, in fact, as mankind could see or build telescopes to
see. Then, I realized that God had created the mature universe a little
over 6.5 thousand years ago, SO ALL THE LIGHT THAT FALLS ON OUR EYES
PAST THAT DISTANCE IS LIGHT GOD CREATED WHEN HE SAID. "LET THERE BE LIGHT!"
Satan robs mankind of conceiving, perceiving, that the light of God's
creation is visible to us to this very day!

Thanks for your comments, Gladys.
Now you make a false accusation against God?
If God TOLD you He created a mature man in a mature universe, where is
the lie?
The lie, Andrew, is in the pseudo science belief that the origin of all
things MUST have been from the egg, from the seed, from the germ in the
slime! The Lie, Andrew, is that God could NOT do as HE stated and create
a mature man in a mature universe.
If HE did as HE said HE did, then it is Satan and the "scientists" who
are the liars!
It is the big bang cosmology which is the liar.
You reject Truth and Reality to believe in delusion, and you talk about
"superstition"?
Modern science (evolution) is based on the superstition of the ancient
Babylonian priests who believed that life came from the sea! Look it up,
if you have the courage!
Modern science (astronomy) is based on the superstition of the ancient
Babylonian priests who believed that the heavens were supported by an
arch! Look it up, if you have the courage!

Its not as simple as that. But anything would be far better than insisting

In a way that's what happened, but the creator is not an anthropomorphic
person (unless it was an ET). It was purely an energy event. Otherwise where
did this creator God go? He's nowhere to be found now.
People used to believe that the creator of the universe was a person, just
like with a lot of things. Its time to leave those silly primitive concepts
behind.
We don't know exactly what the creator energy is and neither do you. So why
preach about it so fervently?

Where did God tell us he created a universe that looks like it's over
a dozen of billions of years old when really it isn't? Why would God

And it's author is God. Why do you worship the words of men and

You are completely off base. Some coincidence does not change the

universe then that evidence is from God. Why do you worship the words
of men and reject evidence made by God?

That was men much later writing about someone called God in the first person
to create an interesting story. That's how they used to write back then.
You are delusional if you think the Christian Bible is God actually talking.
Very few people still believe that old nonsense from the dark ages. There
must only be a few thousand now. If you believe that then you might as well
also believe that the earth is flat, because its from the same people. Why
are you still living in the first century?

It can't be demonstrated that 'He' actually said anything, unless you want
to indulge in archaic religious fantasy.
Do you still believe that the sun and stars revolve around the earth?
Because if you don't (thanks to our scientists) then there's no reason to
keep believing the rest which came from the same place as the first.

No need for God to do it again for he gave animals and plants the
ability to procreate. But would say that when you see new growth

or that it just came out of nothing?

The universe is at least 13 billion years old. This truth is confirmed by
science. A bible verse does not negate truth.
All truth is God's truth no matter where it is found.
All that is not truth is not true even if it is found in the bible.

So???? God also created the light from 3 billion years ago.

Science DOES give an age for both the universe and the earth.
You have no facts that contradict the truth of science.

That depends on the High School. In my H.S. Biology class I was able
to skip ~all~ dissections by writing a creationist paper. I got an
"A" on it too. I can't imagine why since at the time I knew nothing
about logic and from what little of it I can remember it was all over
the place. I attacked radio carbon dating, asserted that humans were
contemporary to the T-rex and other similar nonsense. I believe it
was before the ID movement was in full swing. I was pushing pure
creationism.
That feeling you got was from trying to pass religion off as if it
were science. You are free to worship any way you like and have any
belief you wish but IMO it works better to separate the two
disciplines. Let science deal with what the evidence shows us and let
religion deal with what is beyond evidence.

That page contains a lot of reasonings and semantics.
And we know very little about what the Babylonians believed because it was
so long ago, so its a bit dishonest to try to use them to impress your
point.
If you want to condemn all scientists then you will also have to condemn
Einstein. But that's not going to be so easy now because of the universally
accepted achievements he made in science and the understanding of the
universe.
I believe the _realities_ -- I can walk through the mountains and see
the same geologic layers in the rocks as the geologist. I can look into
the heavens and see the same light and galaxies the astronomers see.
It is the false interpretation of those realities and the false theories
and lies which I reject.

Egad! Thankfully NSW, Australia has a mandatory basic curriculum that must
be taught in any school - even Christian Schools. Admittedly it is very
basic but evolutioon and the age of the earth and universe are part of it.

The huge problem with creationism on this matter is that the galaxy that is
6 billion light years away has light reaching us supposedly can be no more
than 6000 years. That means though the distance may be accurate an optical
allusion has to be created by God so that the light from the galaxy six
billion light years away is created at the same time as the galaxy at a
point 6000 light years away from us so that we can see and measure it. That
is:
X galaxy ................................Y creation of light we see
................ Z us
(6 billion light years away) .......(6 thousand light years away) ....
(present)
X & Y are created at the same time so that we assume X is 6 billion light
years away and therefore created 6 billion years ago whereas (in creationist
"fact") X is only created 6000 years ago the same as Y.
As I stated before, this makes God out to be like the Norse god Loki - a
Trickster. I see no possible reason why God would want to fool people in
this manner.
Creationism is all about a naive literalist reading of bible verses and is
not in any shape or form similar to real science. No Science Academy in the
world acknowledges Creationism / Intelligent Design (same thing) as science.
I'll have you to know that the United States offers education
standards which are better than the standards for half of Africa.
Seriously though it does make me wonder what happens in US Christian
colleges.

That was quite obviously a simplistic story written by an elder to answer

Utter unscientific nonsense! Contemporary astronomy and cosmology bear NO
resemblance at all to what little is known about the ancient Babylonians and
to what the ancient Greeks thought. It is like comparing Jesus' method of
"curing" epilepsy (by excorcism) with today's medicines that control
epilepsy. The two are NOT related.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
from http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/jps/gen001.htm (Jewish Publication
Society)
1 IN the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 Now the earth was
unformed and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the
spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters.
*[HOW can there be water when the earth is not yet created?????? HOW can the
Earth be created BEFORE the sun and stars. WHERE did the "waters" come
from????]
3 And God said: 'Let there be light.' And there was light. 4 And God saw the
light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And
God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was
evening and there was morning, one day.
*[HOW there be light without the sun or any stars? HOW can there be night
and day without a Sun and an Earth that rotates to cause the day and night?
The sun is not created until verse 14]
6 And God said: 'Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and
let it divide the waters from the waters.' 7 And God made the firmament, and
divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were
above the firmament; and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven.
And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
*[ How can Heaven be created AFTER water is created????]
9 And God said: 'Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto
one place, and let the dry land appear.' And it was so. 10 And God called
the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters called He Seas;
and God saw that it was good. 11 And God said: 'Let the earth put forth
grass, herb yielding seed, and fruit-tree bearing fruit after its kind,
wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth.' And it was so. 12 And the
earth brought forth grass, herb yielding seed after its kind, and tree
bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after its kind; and God saw that
it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
*[ HOW can vegetation exist without sunlight which is not created until the
next verse???? HOW does pollination happen without bees which are not
created yet?????]
14 And God said: 'Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to
divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons,
and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of
the heaven to give light upon the earth.' And it was so. 16 And God made the
two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to
rule the night; and the stars. 17 And God set them in the firmament of the
heaven to give light upon the earth, 18 and to rule over the day and over
the night, and to divide the light from the darkness; and God saw that it
was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
*[The moon is not a "light" but reflects the light of the sun. How can stars
be formed AFTER vegeatation on Earth?????]
20 And God said: 'Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and
let fowl fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.' 21 And God
created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that creepeth,
wherewith the waters swarmed, after its kind, and every winged fowl after
its kind; and God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying: 'Be
fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl
multiply in the earth.' 23 And there was evening and there was morning, a
fifth day.p. 4
*[ Birds are created BEFORE land animals.]
24 And God said: 'Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its
kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind.'
And it was so. 25 And God made the beast of the earth after its kind, and
the cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the ground
after its kind; and God saw that it was good. 26 And God said: 'Let us make
man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over
all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.'
27 And God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him;
male and female created He them. 28 And God blessed them; and God said unto
them: 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it;
and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air,
and over every living thing that creepeth upon the earth.' 29 And God said:
'Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face
of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding
seed-to you it shall be for food; 30 and to every beast of the earth, and to
every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
wherein there is a living soul, [I have given] every green herb for food.'
And it was so. 31 And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it
was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

It all boils down to you have a belief. What makes your belief right
and other beliefs wrong?
How do you know that what's written in the Bible is man's word or God's
word?
The answer is you don't, you just believe its God's word.
There is no way to know for sure, and very few people today believe it the
way you do.
So why do you pretend that its absolute concrete known fact?
The bible NEVER calls the WHOLE of it's text "God's Word". The Bible is a
human construct of people's experience of God.
>> 2. That it is "of Satan".
>
> c) Satan is the father of lies

Since science doesn't lie, the Bible is a man-made construct that NEVER
calls itself "God's Word" and the Bible NEVER gives an age for the universe
then the universe's age of 13 billion years cannot be "of Satan".
You are proven wrong on both accounts.
Of course, you will try to demonstrate that the bible is "God's Word". How?
By quoting a forgery such as 1 Timothy 3:16 which was written 100 - 160 CE
when Paul was DEAD and only refers to the Old Testament? (The canon of the
Bible had not yet been formed.) Does "God's Word" include FORGERIES? Does
"God's Word" include MULTIPLE contradictory endings to mark's gospel? (Which
is the ONE and ONLY true ending to Mark's gospel???)
Then you have the problem that your theory contradicts everything known by
science. Is science "of Satan"? Are you willing to refuse all medical help
made possible because of such science????

It has "Thus sayeth the Lord" before it. ;-)
That's a bit of a problem with Genesis 1 as it DOESN'T have "Thus sayeth the

Genesis 1 was also written 850 BCE by the ELOHIST Editor AFTER Genesis 2
(960 BCE by the YAHWIST Editor.)
God didn't say the world is flat.
You are not proving God wrong, YOU ARE PROVING THE SCIENCE OF THEIR DAY

reality, and YOU get them to tell you that they can see the edge of the
universe in SOME direction (any direction) which proves that the earth
is NOT at the center of the universe.
You can't do it.

The BIBLE (which ISN'T the "Word of God") says that the earth is FLAT. I
quote:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Isaiah 40:22, "the circle of the earth"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A circle is FLAT and NOT spherical!
The Hebrew definitely means a FLAT circle and NOT a sphere.
IF the Bible is "God's Word" then the earth MUST be FLAT.
... or the Bible is wrong. ;-)

Nope! The Earth is on the EDGE of a galaxy known as the Milky Way. We are
not even in the CENTRE of our own galaxy!!!!
See our sun's position in the milky Way at
http://www.danielsevo.com/astronomy/gfx/MilkyWay_relativepos1.jpg
Note that our galaxy is 100 000 light years across.
Yet your lot millennia ago believed it as emphatically as the other things
that you for some reason still cling to.
Why toss out some ancient beliefs but keep others?

So everyone's wrong except you and your beliefs about the Bible. The

Gee you must be smart. You and your home Bible interpreters must be the
smartest people in the world, eh? :-)

"edge of the universe" in this context is an expression/euphemism.
We don't actually know where or what the edge of the universe is.
I don't think there's a wall there, so how would you know if you're looking
at an edge or not?
Honestly, your thought processes seem to be like that of a teenager.

The specific ancient belief was that the stars all revolved around the
earth, not so much that we are just roughly at the center of the whole
thing. And this stars revolving around us was a religious belief as well by
your group.
So, do you still believe that?
If not then why?
What a great act. How long can you keep it up?

You grasp at straws!
What?
What in the world ever gave you the idea that "your lot" ever believed
the same kind of delusions believed by the Babylonians, Greeks and Roman
Catholic Church?
Modern science IS based on the ancient myths of the Babylonians and Greeks!
Life came from the sea?
Vaulted heavens?
became the...
Crystal spheres of the heavens?
which has become...
Curved Space Time of modern "science" ???
Delusion!
Nor did I.
I simply said, that God said... "Let there be light."
God created Light AFTER He created Substance.

The Bible is a collection of various typs of writing,
It is history of the forbears of Israelite people amd their
descendents.
It is a theological-history (never used that tern before) of God's
dealings with
them that brought the Jewish people to the time of Jesus Christ and
shortly after.

If I knew the 'medical help' was not the best for me, yes. I would
refuse it.
In 1928 liver was discovered to be a help for Anaemia.
But a liver diet can become very sickening. I have been told of one
such young
woman who reached the stage when she refused to eat any more liver and
subsequently died. Then a Liver extract was discovered.
I was diagnosed with Anaemia and treated with it from 1948,
In 1975 I was given Vitamin B12
by injection for a time. I have not had to be treated for Anaemia
since.
Science is not of Satan. But it takes times to develop newer and
better treatments
as what were thought to be possible treatments are tested, confirmed
for their
effectiveness or found to be less successful than originally
aniticipated.
Medical researchers could be said to be doing one of the greater
things that
Jesus told His followers they would do (John 14 : 12) that is by
finding
causes, cures and preventitive means for the illnesses that can
afflict humans.

Mark, what you call "science" is the art, practice and theories of MEN!

If not all of the Bible is God's word then how do you know which parts are
and which aren't?
That's easy. The parts that fit with your indoctrination are God's
word.

The Bible doesn't give any kind of timeline mechanism whatsoever. Its just
frivolous guesswork by two or three zealous theologians in the early
centuries. I've seen their names somewhere but can't remember where. They
made the calculations.
You cannot calculate a timeline from a book that has texts of undetermined
age, e.g.Genesis.
You believers also assume that Genesis was written the moment creation was
completed. But obviously the texts came much later when language and writing
was invented, which makes gauging the age of creation by surmising and
haphazardly adding up the age of texts and events senseless and ridiculous.

Are you going only on the lovely spiritual poetry of it? There were great
spiritual poets in the early centuries who had lots and lots of time on
their hands. The world wasn't always as busy as it is now.
The irony is getting thick.
That is an in-depth study that will take some time.
But it is diversionary,
I refer to another posting I have made that Genesis 7 gives
a chronology of the patriarchs with overlapping ages so that
an oral transmission would be kept correct up to the time
of Noah's Flood
http;//www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/3000/
.
The question at present is whether with the Hubble telescope
men can peer back into time and calculate the age of the Universe
to be 13 billion years.
http://creation.com/the-Hubble-law
http://creation.com/astronomical-problems
The teaching of Evolution to all Secondary students from 1962,
as far as I was aware of it then and in the later years up
to 1975, was done very low-key. That was the period in which I was
Teaching Mistress at two Western Sydney suburbs Infants Departments.
There may have be reasons for the lack of media announcements.
ie that it was not thought to be of general public interest OR
it just was not thought to make such an announcement.
It was in 1974 that I had access to some information that gave the
attributes of living organisms and the one that caught my attention
was
that living things can procreate and from that I reasoned that a
supernatural
Being had to initiate (create) the process. That I was told later by
a
Church of England minister was how Anslem, Archbishop of Canterbury
(England) in 12th Cenntury, had reasoned.
But there is one thing for sure - those who have indoctrinated the
children
from that time (now all adults aged about 60 years and under) were
taught,,
and childred continue to be taught Evolutionary theory as a fact.
What was the proof in 1972? What is the proof now in the 21st
Century?
I have not seen any real proof in the High School texts to which I
have had
access in my Tutoring programme (now closed).
Gladys Swager
Evolutionary theory is not perfect, granted. It is ok to poke holes in it
because nothing is perfect in this world. Peer reviewers usually do that
anyway.
But human science is still a lot more sensible than holding a Bible and
hollering "This is the Word of God"!!! and declaring a book to be perfect
and infallible over everything.
Your book version of God, yes.
Texts can, and have been changed by humans to say what they want to say.
This we know.

Yes it is. That's the kind of world we live in. You can't escape from that
through religious fantasies. That's why you have to study and develop your
discernment to find the truth, not just read one convenient and perfect book
to get all the answers to life.

Everything in this world is inevitably of men. However sometimes men are
inspired to put out great wisdoms, and those inspirations are not limited to
times when the scriptures were written, and not just in one area and one
religion. Yes science has made mistakes, but so have theologians.
I didn't say that your lot believed what the Babylonians etc. believed.
What your early Christians believed was the religious crap about a young
earth, flat earth, and stars revolving around us.
But you have thrown out the flat earth and stars revolving around us crap (I
hope), yet kept the young earth stuff.
What gives?

I did not hear of the 'flat earth' idea until I came into discussions
about
the controvery between Scientific Creationism and Evolution,
except for a vague reference in school history that it was feared
Columbus
would fall off the earth.
The ancient Greeks were aware of the spherical nature of the world,
and the Bible does not have one reference to support it.
If the RC Church had not followed Ptolomy, but had stayed with the
ideas of
Aristarchus who believed that the earth revolved round the sun
there would not have been the controversy in the time of Copernicus
and
Galileo whose calculations supported the earlier belief.
