The following is a letter from a reader of Bible Science Forum with my comments in square brackets […]. May I take the liberty of suggesting that you should be a theologian teaching the simplicity of faith – Christian faith – Belief in The Redeemer – if one believes in the Redeemer, one believes in […]
Tag: Einstein Simultaneity Convention
A graduate student at my university, contacted me recently about the biblical creationist starlight-travel-time problem. He said that he had attended a lecture on the recent detection of gravitational waves, where the professor had mentioned that the source of the binary black hole collision event occurred some 1.3 billion years ago. The issue has made him […]
I received the following question on the Anisotropic Synchrony Convention (ASC) a timing convention. The ASC is a timing convention used in biblical creationist models of Jason Lisle and myself. It relies on the language of appearance, that the Author of the events in Creation week used such language in describing when events occurred. God […]
The universe is truly vast; tens of billions of light-years in size. If the universe is only about 6000 years old how do we see galaxies at all, which are more than 6000 light-years away? This is the biblical creationist starlight travel time problem. I present 5 categories wherein potential solutions may be found. Besides […]
— a problem for the biblical creationist model? In March 2015 it was reported that “[a]stronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have, for the first time, spotted four images of a distant exploding star. The images are arranged in a cross-shaped pattern by the powerful gravity of a foreground galaxy embedded in a massive cluster […]
Hi John, Here are quotes from two of your articles that I’d like to ask a question about: “My first model (2003)1 employed no gravitational potential well, but a supernatural causation only. During Creation week, God miraculously slowed Earth and the solar system clocks in comparison to cosmic clocks. The model doesn’t need an expanding universe, […]
Notes of a lecture on starlight and time. Do they present an insurmountable problem for biblical creationists? The lecture was given August 1st, 2015. See Age and Reason Seminar Adelaide for details. Here is the problem. The universe is truly vast in size, in fact, tens of billions of light-years in size. One light-year is about […]
Why is a 6,000-year-old universe so hard to believe? One Day Seminar (9 am to 5 pm) Saturday 1st August 2015 Happened in Adelaide South Australia AGE AND REASON poster PDF Sponsored by Creation Ministries International Speakers: A/Prof. John Gideon Hartnett (Australian, physicist, cosmologist) Dr Jim Mason (Canadian, nuclear physicist) Topics Covered: Worldviews of naturalism, uniformitarianism and biblical creation; age […]
—sequel to ‘A biblical creationist cosmogony’1 Abstract: I speculate on a new cosmological redshift mechanism due to ‘tired light’ in a created static-yet-unstable 6000-year-old finite-size universe. This utilises Lisle’s ASC model, but I show a one-to-one correspondence with the Hartnett-Carmeli model that was so successful when tested against type Ia supernova measurements. This gives a theoretical […]
Abstract: According to the Bible the Universe is about six thousand years old. It follows from all standard assumptions that we have a starlight-travel-time problem. With the Universe being billions of light-years in extent how does light travel across the Universe to Earth within the timescale of only about six thousand years as laid out […]
