Secular cosmologists insist that the biblical account of creation can’t be correct because it isn’t scientific. However it can be shown that the secular view of creation and cosmology is founded on philosophy, and not science. Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Looking at the biblical account of creation, it is easy to see that the universe is not the result of natural laws. God super-naturally created all that there is. Those who reject the biblical account of creation often charge that this is not a scientific approach to the creation event. They then substitute their own creation event, such as the Big Bang theory, and insist that they are following a scientific path. Let’s look at a few examples of where philosophy has overruled science in secular cosmology. Aristarchus of Samos (born about 310 BC) correctly deduced that the Sun was the center of the Solar System. However the philosopher Aristotle believed that the Earth was in the center and that the Sun and planets moved in perfect circles around the Earth. The great influence of Aristotle’s philosophy overcame the science of Aristarchus, and the Earth centered geocentric view of the Solar System prevailed for about ...

Genesis 1:3 “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” God spoke light into existence on the first day of creation. On the fourth day, God created the Sun and stars that emit light. How is this possible? Certainly many of the things that God has done continue to be a great mystery to believers. In fact, God has said that certain things are not for men to know. Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. Looking at the account of creation in Genesis, we see that God created the universe in an orderly process. Obviously God could have said, “Let there be everything”, and instantly it would have existed. However the Bible tells us that God chose to create things in stages, often using previously created things to fashion new things. Examples of this are the facts that the Earth was created as a water planet, and a part of it was then fashioned into dry land; Adam was not made out of nothing, but from “dust”; and Eve was made ...

When God created the universe, He made it in such a way, so that it would be impossible to have a credible naturalistic explanation for its existence. Psalms 86:10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone. God in His wisdom has placed a great obstacle before evolutionists in their never ending quest for legitimacy. This obstacle is the fact that there is no credible naturalistic explanation for many of the phenomena that are observed in the universe. One area of cosmology where this is apparent is planets that rotate the “wrong way” in our Solar System. According to the commonly accepted Accretion Theory of secular cosmologists, tiny bits of matter clumped together to form the Sun, planets, asteroids, and comets of the Solar System. If this theory were true, (which, of course, it isn’t) then because of the conservation of angular momentum all of the bodies of the Solar System would orbit the Sun in the same direction, and in fact, (except for comets), they do. However, many of the over 500 newly discovered planets orbiting stars other than our Sun, orbit in the “wrong” direction. This has become such a problem for the accretion theory that ...

God’s Word says that creation of the Earth and universe is one of the most unmistakable proofs of His existence and power. Psalms 19:1-3 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. It is not surprising that those who oppose God would assail the validity of the biblical creation account. As the sciences have progressed however, it has become increasingly obvious that there is no process whereby the universe as a whole, and living creatures in particular, could have come into existence without special creation by God. One problem secular cosmologists face is the existence of oceans on the Earth. The Bible teaches that the Earth began as a water planet, with dry land appearing later. Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Secular cosmologists teach that the Earth and Solar System were formed out of a process called accretion. The Accretion Theory asserts that tiny bits of matter floating together in one ...
