Perhaps the most incredible 1 is the history of Israel.

Its beginning, its ups, its downs, and its destiny.

The authentication of Jesus Christ as the Messiah of Israel is awesome to the extent that it is fully documented in the Old Testament centuries before He made His appearance.

The crucifixion of Jesus Christ was not a tragedy.

Skillfully fulfilling hundreds of specific specifications in order to accomplish what God was attempting to accomplish on our behalf.

So the geometry of Trinia we've been looking at is a line from left to right in a two-dimensional space like a blackboard.

Imagine, if you will, that line in three-dimensional space coming out at you from the blackboard, this curve, if you will.

See, for you and I, life is a sequence of events in time.

It's sort of analogous to sitting on the curb watching a parade come around the corner.

For you sitting on the curb, the parade is a series of floats, marching bands, musical groups, whatever.

But you see God is not in time, He's outside time and He can see the past, the present, the future simultaneously.

The analogy, perhaps a little crude analogy, is imagine yourself in a helicopter above the parade.

You're not in the plane of the parade's existence, you're above it.

And you can look and see the staging area where the floats are being assembled to make their appearance.

You can watch the things that are passing in review at the moment.

You can also look at the destaging area where they're disbanding.

You can see the beginning and the end simultaneously.

Because you're outside the dimensionality of that parade.

Now I might mention as long as we have this diagram on the board, We have the past, the present, and the future, which are sequential here in time, but at the throne of God, there is a sense in which they are simultaneous.

You can Turn those arrows the other way if you want.

Somebody that died a thousand years ago, someone that gets raptured a week from Tuesday, and someone that gets, you know, raptured, I used a bad example, let me rephrase it.

Someone that died a thousand years ago, someone that died say a month ago, and someone that gets raptured a week from Tuesday, all can arrive at the throne at the same instant.

I'm not saying they do, don't misunderstand me, I'm suggesting that as a way of stretching your thought horizon here.

People like us who believe in physics know that the distinction between the past, the present, and the future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.

We're all now ready to go to the first verse of the book of Genesis.

We'll take about an hour and a half to do about 7 words.

There's 306,000 letters in the Torah, so you can extrapolate to figure out when we're through with the study.

In The Hebrew, remember Hebrew goes from right to left.

Bereshit is in beginning, Before there was anything.

In fact, Hebrew sages understand from the details of the text that prior to that bet of Barashit, there was nothing physical.

No matter, no energy, no time, nor space.

We tend to visualize the Big Bang, we'll get to that later, as an explosion in space.

No, it created, the singularity that became the universe was matter, energy, space and time simultaneously.

To create out of nothing is what the term actually means.

There are 2 other words that are also used.

Asa, which means to make, fashion, or fabricate implicitly from something already there, like molding clay to make a pot.

And Isaiah 43, 7 has all 3 of these words being used.

But the word that's being used here is bara, to create out of nothing.

And there's another word in here that deserves some comment.

You may not know Hebrew, but I suspect you know enough Hebrew to understand that some of the nouns, to be a plural, have an I-M ending.

Certain classes of Hebrew nouns make a plural by adding what we would call an im ending.

And yet every place it appears in the text is a grammatical mistake.

In English you are not as sensitive to it as you are in most foreign languages.

You have to decline the noun has to agree with the verb.

Plural, singular, all that sort of thing.

Elohim is a plural noun but it's used with verbs as if it was singular.

In the very vocabulary of the Hebrew, you have a hint of the, what do we call it in the New Testament?

You find it creep in the English translations, we'll see it where God says, let us make man in our image.

It creeps into the English translation a couple of places.

But it's a very, that word Elohim, It's an allusion, if you will, to the Trinity.

That leads us, of course, to the age of the Earth.

Many people have in their Bibles, in the center column, what they call Usher's dates.

John Lightfoot, both in the 17th century, went through a careful study of the genealogies and concluded that the creation occurred in October of 1404 BC.

Now, many scholars smile at their naivete to think that the world is only 6,000 years old.

They put that in the Bible as a guide, because it gives you ability to relatively date certain events together.

But I'll tell you what's interesting is more recent scholars, William Henry Green and Warfield, both in the 19th century, Falschitz in 79, and Walter T.

Brown, very respected researcher, 1995, have gone through and rechecked those, and they have some minor discrepancies, but not much, with usher's dates.

And you will find Bible scholars that to this day don't depart far from the usher's dates that are so quaintly included in your Bibles.

In fact, in 6 days, these scientists, 50 of them, have gone on record believing that the six-day perception of Genesis 1 is the valid perception, scientifically.

And they have scientific reasons for believing that.

So The age of the earth is an enigma here.

We're going to talk more about that rather provocatively in the next session.

But 1 of the things you and I are going to need to do as we go into this is to shed the baggage of our misconceptions.

All of us bring preconceptions to a topic.

But 20th century science has vindicated the biblical perspectives of reality that the Bible portrays.

We're going to try to show you that as we go through the 6 days.

We know today that the universe is finite, not infinite.

That's a shocking discovery to science, and yet widely understood that way today.

We've discovered the nature of time thanks to Dr.

Einstein and all the implications deriving from that.

We're going to talk about hyperspaces in a broader sense as we go.

But there is only 1 way you can be certain to avoid truth.

Edmund Spencer summarized, there is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all argument, which cannot fail to keep man in everlasting ignorance.

That principle is condemnation before investigation.

So what I want you to do as you come to these studies, try to set aside the presuppositions.

We've all been conditioned from our schooling and from the culture at large, because we're gonna discover who the ruler of this world really is as we begin to examine the kind of stuff that you and I have been programmed in, even though we may come from a technology background.

The scripture has an equivalent expression in Proverbs 18 13, he that answereth a matter before he hearth it, it is a folly and a shame to him.

We know that heat flows from hot bodies to cold bodies.

Well if the universe was infinitely old, the temperature throughout the universe would be uniform.

If it's always been around, it's always been cooling until all temperatures are equal, when the ambient equal, there is no temperature, all engines depend on temperature difference.

It isn't uniform, therefore it's not infinitely old.

And that's the uncomfortable discovery that science has had to deal with and they call it with the Big Bang.

First there was nothing and then it exploded.

And if you believe that I've got some property I'd like to show you.

The universe had a beginning and that implies it's destined for an ending.

You and I are in a parenthesis that has a terminus, a beginning and an end.

It started with what scientists like to call a big bang, a singularity, and ultimately goes to a heat death.

The second law of thermodynamics is an expression of that line down.

When you talk about a big bang, that's not a specific theory.

That's a collection of different views that all have problems in the literature, the cosmological literature.

The original steady state model, that was Einstein's.

He admitted before he did his biggest mistake, his cosmological constant and all of that.

There's a hesitation model that was refuted in the 1960s.

I'm going to spare you the details of this stuff.

The oscillation model, it was refuted by the entropy laws, finally, lack of mass.

There's an inflation model that is currently in vogue.

It's kind of interesting because it requires anti-gravity forces that have never been observed for a very short instant and never repeated.

Cosmology, in my opinion, is a field of interest, not a field of science.

It's not subject to empirical verification.

It's an interesting place to read if you're interested in that sort of thing.

But don't confuse the conjectures from a real perception of reality.

There is a stretch factor, by the way, that I do want to talk to you about.

If you go through the expansion models of the universe, you're talking about an expansion of roughly 10 to the 12th.

And the temperature of the quark confinement frees up all energy at 10 to the 9th times 10 to the 12th Kelvin.

But the basic point is the expansion factor.

Gerald Schroeder, dear friend, lives in Jerusalem.

He's an observant Jew, but had the privilege of being in his home celebrating Passover some years ago.

He wrote a book called Genesis and the Big Bang.

You won't find a Christian book store, you'll find it in the banner books in regular stores, but it's a very interesting book.

His stretch factor, he takes the stretch factor, 10 to the 12th, he makes an interesting observation.

The 16 billion years times 365 means there are 6 times 10 to the 12th days, right?

So if you divide 6 to the 12th days by the expansion factor, 6 to the 12th, you get an expansion factor of about 16 billion years from the day 1 through the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth day.

So as a physicist, he has no problem with the idea of the 16 billion years, because his point of view is that a clock on the earth and a clock at the perimeter, if I can put it that way, of the expansion are going to differ by 10 to the 12th.

And if you take the parent age of the universe and divide the expansion factor you get, guess what, 6 days.

So that's his perception of the thing which I think is kind of interesting.

But you and I need to understand there's 2 boundaries of reality that we're faced with.

There are 2 mathematical conceptions that we have that go beyond physical reality.

We cannot find infinity in the real universe.

And that's either in the macro level or in the microcosm.

The universe is not infinite, it's finite.

So that's 1, on the telescope sense, it's finite.

In a microscopic sense, You all think that if you take a line and you cut it in half, you can take what's left and cut it in half again.

And you take what's left and cut it in half.

No, you can only do that to about 10 to the minus 35 centimeters.

At that point, if you try to cut it in half, it loses locality.

We've discovered all photons know what all other photons in the universe are doing instantaneously.

We're going to talk about quantum physics in 1 of our subsequent things, but the idea of infinity at the large or the microscopic doesn't exist.

There's a finite universe, the cosmos is not.

There's a finite universe in the sense of quantum physics.

Length, mass, and time are all quantized.

And the other concept we cannot find in the universe is randomness.

We simulate it, but the whole discovery of this is a field of mathematics called chaos theory.

And that's exactly what the Bible says, the lot is in the lap of the Lord.

There are physical chronometers, and let's take a quick look at some of these.

Radiometric dating, You hear a lot about this, but most of the experts will point out that it's based on 3 assumptions, all of which are false on extended.

The clock had to be set accurately at the beginning.

The clock must not be disturbed during the measure.

And those conditions are usually violated on these extended studies of long time.

So most labs will not authenticate something more than a few thousand years.

There's also another, the uniformitarian thesis versus catastrophism.

The idea of the universe always was the way it is now is basic view of science, orbits being always what they were.

Yet we have evidence that they weren't and we'll talk about that as we go through.

And let's talk about, I want to get just some of these young Earth things in your mind.

There's a number of scientists that hold to a young Earth because of moon dust, oil gushers, Earth's magnetic field, Mississippi River Delta, the salinity of the oceans, the Poynting-Robertson effect, and radio halos.

The lunar surface is exposed to direct sunlight.

Strong ultraviolet light and X-rays can destroy the surface of the exposed rock and reduce them to dust.

And they estimate this about 10,000th of an inch per year.

But even that minute amount during the age of the moon could be sufficient to form a layer several miles deep.

And when Neil Armstrong was ready to step off, you know, Apollo 12, whatever it was, he was concerned about that.

All this has been reviewed in the scientific journals because 1 of the wonderful discoveries is that they only had a few thousand years worth of dust.

The good news is it was just a relatively thin layer of dust.

Because if it was millions and millions and millions of years old, there'd be more dust, is the point.

The very pressure of the oil is also an evidence of a young Earth.

But the Earth's magnetic field, the magnetic field has a half-life calculated to be about 1400 years.

And based on measurements from 1835 to 1965, you can estimate the age of the Earth being something less than 10,000 years.

And by the way, if you extrapolate that to 20,000 years, the Joule heat would melt the Earth.

So the nature of the magnetic field of the Earth itself is evidence of a young Earth, interestingly enough.

The Mississippi Delta, approximately 300 million cubic yards of sediment are deposited in the Gulf of Mexico by the Mississippi River each year.

We study the size of the delta, how much it weighs, and all that sort of stuff.

You can estimate that it seems that the Mississippi River is about 4,000 years old, that whole geology.

The salinity of the oceans, uranium, sodium, nickel, magnesium, silicon, potassium, copper, gold, molybdenum, bicarbonate are just examples of concentrations that are in the ocean, but They're very much less than you'd expect if these elements and compounds were being added to the oceans at the present rate for thousands of millions of years.

And by the way, you see, nitrates and uranium do not break down or recycle like salt does.

And so It's the lack of more of those that testify to a relatively young ocean.

And so the oceans are estimated to be a few thousand years old by the people who specialize in these studies.

Then there's this interesting pointing Robertson effect, which some people call the solar janitor.

Photons in space slow down the forward movement of objects in space.

It's a thing like solar wind, if you will.

The solar drag force that gets exerted on micrometeorites cause those particles only to spiral into the sun.

So this force has the effect of being like a cleanup agency.

And the sun is sweeping space at a rate of about 100,000 tons per day, is the estimate by the astronomers.

Well, the problem is, also, there's no known source of replenishment.

So the current abundance of micrometeorites speaks also for a young universe, interestingly enough.

Primordial Polonium-218 has been found in mica and fluorite in granite.

And what makes this rather unusual is polonium-218 has a half-life of about 3 minutes.

So what that implies is that it appears that it was instantly crystallized when the host granite was formed.

So it speaks of an instantaneous creation of both.

We're going to talk also next time about the speed of light slowing down.

I was going through my old tapes on Genesis that were more than 10 years ago.

And at the time, we talked about Barry Sutterfield, the speed of light slowing down, at a time when he was getting beat up by all the physicists because they thought he was a nut.

And now we find out that 4 out of 5 really atomic properties dependent upon C have been demonstrated to decrease.

Remember, I spent a lot of time with Hugh Ross arguing about this 1.

We now know from the Naval Observatory that the atomic clocks relative to the orbital clocks, there's a difference.

Either the speed of light, if the speed of light isn't slowing down, the speed of the orbits is increasing.

If the time clocks are correct, see, Mercury, Venus, and Mars are speeding up in their orbits.

There's also the quantization of the red shift.

There's a huge discovery by William tift that shatters the whole concept of the expanding universe, we'll talk about that next time.

And the distortion of gravity by the early expansion phase, we'll talk about that next time.

Because time stands still even at the event horizon.

So, all those are things we'll talk about then.
