Genesis 1:9-19 // Problems With The Big Bang

hey guys we're in Genesis chapter 1 and we're gonna get like through two verses and not even get through them how about that let's do this okay Genesis chapter 1 we've been going through the book of Genesis and I want to start reading in verse 9 because I want to I want to pick up a couple things that I didn't get to last week and we're gonna go up through verse 19 so that's ten verses well eleven verses don't y'all stand let's go through and read them together starting verse nine it says then God said let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place and let the dry land appear and it was so and God called the dry land earth and the gathering together of the waters he called seas and God saw that it was good then God said let the earth bring forth grass the herb that yields seed and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind whose seed is in itself on the earth and it was so and the earth brought forth grass the herb that yields seed according to its kind and the tree that yields fruit whose seed is in itself according to its kind and God saw that it was good so the evening in the morning were the third day then God said let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night and let them be for signs and seasons and for days and years and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth and it was so the God made two great lights the greater light to rule the day the lesser light to rule the night he made the stars also God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth 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 so the evening of the morning was the fourth day let's stop right there let's pray thanks Jesus for the time that we get to spend together thank you Lord that when we look out at the creation it's complex and it's vast and it's something that only someone with ultimate power could bring into existence and Lord as we go through and talk about these things just want to honor you Father it's just cool to think your thoughts after you to go and look at at the creation see the things that we that you've done and have our hearts changed because of the awesome might of the one that we serve and live with and love Lord and we just want to give you the study this morning pray that you'd bless it that you'd help me to be clear and that you bless your people as much as they can be Jesus name Amen I've kind of joking with that you know again when we when we go through and look at the book of Genesis again when when I was first a believer I came from the belief that all of the stuff that we see around us has evolved including you know obviously including people but not just including people but the whole cosmos itself the whole universe itself last week we were doing day three and so that's dry land and the vegetation and so what God did was he took the he took the dry land and he caused it to uplift through the waters so the earth was covered with water first and then after that the dry land appears and it looks like it was all in one place and we talked about this again last week the whole idea of Pangaea geologists believe this and the Bible teaches it in Genesis chapter one that he gathered all the land into one place and all the oceans into another place called the land land and obviously the ocean sea and then you have the creation of the vegetable kingdom and that's where I wanted to bring in the whole idea of evolution and specifically chemical evolution because this is the first time that life appears on the planet it does not appear in the oceans according to the Bible it appears on the land and one of the things that we talked about was that when you're when you're talking about evolution generally speaking and actually I'm saying generally speaking on purpose they believe that life started in the oceans and came out of the oceans there are more and more people who are beginning to believe that that's not the case and so we're gonna we're gonna be dealing with some of this we've had attempts to create life basically there was a Miller experiment I talked about this last week and in that experiment what they did was they tried to put an atmosphere together that represented the atmosphere on the earth before life ever began okay one of what they were trying to do was come up with what are called amino acids and so again we talked about this last week but just short overview amino acids or long-chain molecules which is exactly how it sounds you have these molecules they get they get tied together because of bonds and they are long chains right and you take those molecules you put them together with other molecules other amino acids make longer chains and you get proteins and proteins or what you're made of it's what all life is made of it's what cells are made of and so what they were trying to do was come up with amino acids in this little jar right there okay and so what they did was they put certain chemicals in right here heated things up through a spark into it do it did a condenser some of this has to do with getting rid of water that kind of thing and it came out with amino acids and when when you're talking about this one of the things you have to understand is you're coming you're trying to come up with an end product so the end product has certain types of molecules in it and so what they did was they put certain types of gas with the certain types of molecules in them and took it through this process and they came out with amino acids okay and that is always put in science textbooks as evidence that life just appeared on earth by chance accidentally okay and and again there's problems with it and here's a list of some of the problems these are no these aren't all the problems but this is a list of some of the problems number one you can't have oxygen because if you have oxygen involved in this whole process oxygen tears things down so when things are rusting they're oxidizing when things are burning they're oxidizing oxygen tears basically chemical bonds apart at the molecular level and so we need oxygen to breathe but we're equipped to handle oxygen and and so anything that's not equipped to handle oxygen again oxygen tears it down that's why steel rusts okay the other thing that you've got a problem with is you can't have you you can't have oxygen but then if you don't have oxygen you have another issue and that has to do with the ozone layer the ozone layer comes from oxygen ozone layer keeps out UV light which is the baddest of the bad radiation from the Sun that will break down chemical bonds also and so it's a catch-22 type of situation so we talked about that and the other issue is water the one place on this planet that life did not start is in the oceans you can't have it happening because again when you're talking about water water is kind of like oxygen in the sense that it it breaks it also breaks down chemical bonds and so when they did that experiment they had to get rid of the water otherwise they would not have gotten amino acids well if you're in an ocean down at a deep heated thermal vents with water all around you you are not going to get amino acids it's not going to happen life did not start around the thermal vent at the bottom of the ocean a lot of times when they when they show movies of evolution in the start of life what they'll what they'll do is they'll have a pond with goo in it on the side of an ocean somewhere near a volcanic you know lava vent or something and what they're doing is they're trying to get it out of the water and at the same time be able to take the water off that comes along through the chemical process again when these chemicals get put together when these molecules get put together they throw off molecules of water and it stays in the mixture if you leave it in the mixture it all breaks down so you've got to get rid of it so whenever whenever you see movies like that or videos like that there they always have it around a heat source and what they're trying to do is get rid of water well when you heat up a protein you know what that's called cooking that's a barbecue okay that's that's that's and that's that's what it does to proteins it breaks down the proteins so again you can't you can't have that and then when you're again when you're talking about amino acids you have this whole thing with Kerr allottee there are over 2,000 types of amino acids and only 20 of them are used in life so when you do these processes where you're making about me up amino acids it's not all of them it's certain of them you have to pick out 20 from 2,000 to get life and then we talked about chirality this is the idea of molecules that mirror match each other and life is made up of only left-handed amino acids these kinds right here if you take a right-handed amino acid and put it in with a left-handed amino acid it's immediately poisonous to life it also breaks breaks up the the bonds that go on so you can't get the long molecules that you need to have so 2,000 types of amino acids only 20 are used in life they all have to be left-handed and any of you guys that have taken chemistry you know that when you do a chemical reaction and you have something like this going on you're going to get equal parts of both right-handed and left-handed that's the way that it goes and so you have to what have a way to sift out the left the right-handed amino acids otherwise it poison poisons life and so again you have that and then finally you have order there's an order that these things have to be put into and so it's not just a situation where you take a bunch of the amino acids you know 20 amino acids mix them up in a bowl and they come out with uh with the long-chain molecules that will make proteins they have to be put into a certain order and if you don't get them in the right order you don't have a protein okay so all that stuff is are huge obstacles to this whole situation and that's where we got last week and then on top of it after you talked about making proteins then you got to take proteins and you got to make them into something like this so proteins are simple molecules basically and you're taking them and making them into what people used to call a simple cell and we know now is nonsense there is no such thing as a simple cell these are these these the complex complexity of the cell is ridiculously intense and so gave you this illustration last last time you can have a Boeing 747 it's made out of four and a half million non flying parts you take a Boeing 747 kit you you take the little parts you put them into the right places and in the end you get something that will fly like a flying house basically you can get something that will fly but it got to be the right parts all in the right places and that's just four and a half million when you're talking about a cell you're talking about billions billions of parts to get a cell and so cells are radically more complex than anything that we've ever come up with so what are the chances of getting all heads you know getting getting this life and I use an example of flipping a penny and so here's my penny it's gonna come bouncing in like that I'll put that so this is this is just talking about chance okay so if I'm gonna flip a flip a penny and get heads what are the chances I get it one time in a row and the chances of that are one and two because it's got two sides to it right okay so it's a one in two chance to get two heads in a row it doubles and now it's one in four that's a chances when you when you go to three it's becoming exponential three heads in a row is one and eight if you're going to get eight heads in a row it's 1 in 256 okay so the chances of getting a hundred heads in a row just with a with a penny the chances of doing that are 2 to the 100th or 10 to the 30th power and that means one chance in 1 with 30 zeros behind it to get a hundred heads in a row okay and so we're going to talk about the reason there's a reason that I did this and the reason has to do with getting a protein that has a hundred amino acids in it it's the same chance of getting a long-chain protein with a hundred amino amino acids in it is the same chance of getting a hundred heads in a row okay and so here's here's the situation that we've got when you're talking about proteins proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids anywhere from fifty to thirty thousand amino acids so in an amino acid in the first place you got a molecule that's a long chain and then you take each one of those amino acid molecules you put it with another one you make an even longer chain and you have to have at least 50 amino acids to get a simple protein up to 30,000 amino acids and so what we're going to be talking about is the chances of getting a protein with just a hundred amino acids what's the chances of that one in ten to the 30th I just showed you that okay and so it's got to be a hundred amino acids long it has to have come from the 20 amino acids that you can use out of over tau out of over 20,000 it has to be left-handed amino acids only and they all have to be in the right order that's what you that's what you're looking at for the simplest form of life actually this is just proteins okay to even approach the simplest form of life this is what you have to go through okay so if you're going to do left handed chain of amino and a chain of a hundred amino acids long it's one in ten to the 30th like I said if you are going to get the right 20 amino acids in order it becomes one in ten to the 130th power that's a one with a hundred and thirty zeros behind it okay now you know what when when I use numbers like this the the the numbers are just huge and so a lot of times you know it just it just becomes kind of like this overwhelming type of situation let me let me give you an illustration ten to the twenty first power so that's that's a one with 2108 one chance in ten to the twenty first power is like taking silver dollars we've done this before and lay them on the face of the earth and you make them you fill it up 120 feet deep all over the planet so ten to the twenty first power is silver dollars 120 feet deep all over the earth you mark one you throw it in there you mix it up you blindfold a guy he goes through the whole earth giving every coin an equal chance of being picked and he picks the right one first time that's one chance in ten to the twenty first we're talking about one chance in ten to the one hundred and thirtieth one chance in ten to the fiftieth according to mathematicians is an impossibility it will not happen in the whole history of the universe and so these are the odds that we're talking about so when you're when you're talking about again a left-handed chain of amino acids a hundred amino acids long or a protein with a hundred amino acids long one in ten to the 30th you add the twenty right amino acids in the right order you get ten to the one hundred and thirtieth and if you want to talk about a single cell it's one chance in 10 to the 40 thousandth because again you're talking about multiple proteins multiple enzymes all the stuff put into the right place in working order so that it can all go together this is what Sir Fred Hoyle said said no matter how large the environment one considers life cannot have had a random beginning there are about 2,000 enzymes and the chance of obtaining them all in a random trial is only one part in 10 to the 20th - mm which equals 10 to the 40,000 that's a one with 40,000 zeroes behind it there's only 10 to the 80th electrons in the universe much less 10 to the 40,000 it's an outrageously small probability that could not be faced even if the whole universe consisted of organic soup this guy is not a Christian and so you take the whole universe fill it up with a lower ganic soup not just a little pool on the side of an ocean someplace take the universe fill it up and try to get the 2,000 enzymes we need for life and you're not going to do it not not in the history of the universe it cannot happen okay so there's another guy Francis Crick this guy you may be familiar with him he was the guy one of the guys who discovered the double helix nature of DNA you know what it's kind of a ladder all twisted around you know DNA so he discovered that got a Nobel Lord Nobel Prize for it and he said if a particular amino acid sequence was selected by chance how rare an event would this be the great majority of sequences can never have been synthesized at all at any time and so that's his position he actually because of this situation because he knew that the probability of life evolving from chemicals on this planet were so so low he came up with the idea of what's called directed panspermia panspermia means taking seed and and sending it out everywhere and so he had the idea that aliens took DNA and shot it off in rockets and some of it landed on our planet and that's where the first life came from first DNA molecules specifically came from from the aliens who shot them off in their little rockets okay you know you know why aliens can do that because aliens can do anything you know why aliens can do anything because we don't know any [Laughter] and so this guy's not a stupid guy and so he had to come up with the aliens did it you know et did it here's another guy Robert gange said this the likelihood of of life having occurred through a chemical accident is for all intents and purposes zero this is a abstract from Crick Francis Crick again same guy where he's talking about directed panspermia this is actually from from a paper that he did he says this it now seems unlikely that extraterrestrial living organisms could have reached the earth either as spores driven by the radiation pressure from another star or as living organisms embedded in a meteorite what he's talking about is there are some people who believe that meteorites with DNA on them hit the earth or that you know spores were going out through space as an alternative to these 19th century mechanisms we've considered directed panspermia the theory that organisms were deliberately transmitted to the earth by intelligent beings on another planet we conclude that it is possible that life reached the earth in this way but that the scientific evidence is inadequate at the present time to say anything about the probability in other words we don't know that it happened but maybe maybe that happened Michael Denton said this British astronomer Fred Hoyle he's another one who came up with this and Chandra Wickramasinghe have also recently raised the possibility of panspermia nothing illustrates more clearly just how intractable a problem that's that means how hard a problem the origin of life has become then the fact that world authorities can seriously toy with the idea of panspermia Fred Hoyle said this about the genesis of life he says the chance that higher life-forms might have emerged through evolutionary processes is comparable with the chance that a tornado sweeping through a junkyard might assemble a Boeing 747 the material therein you know and again you know it's just a possibility and so here's the deal you guys when I became a Christian I didn't have to check my my brain in at the door I don't have to believe nonsense and one of the one of the things that I found when I did become a Christian was I found people coming up with a different viewpoint than what I was taught in school and what I was taught in school I found out almost everything that had to do with evolution or with astrophysics almost everything that I dealt with I only had half the information I only got the positive on those issues I never got the negative on those issues and so I had no way of knowing whether these things were true basically what I was doing was spouting off stuff that I got from textbooks and I hadn't checked it out and so you know again this is this is one of those things that I didn't know when I first learned this I learned this from I went to a seminar from a guy who had three earned PhDs no I think he had four was a four Bobby yeah I think was four earned PhDs and he was a chemist and so he just goes through and he starts describing the chemistry in more detail than what I did but he started describing the chemistry and I keep all my books so I have I have my college chemistry book and I went home picked it up got you know opened it up you know looked at the whole issue with the the bonding and amino acids it was in there it's all written in there you guys and I just hadn't put and put those things together and it's absolutely true and so you you have that and you know we still have good reason to believe this for by him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth visible and invisible whether Thrones or dominions or principalities or powers all things were created through him and for him and he is before all things and in him all things consist the reason again that I'm putting this at this part of the whole thing is this is when life starts you can't get past the beginning of life much less talk about going from one life form to another life form and getting into the to the higher s Ilan's of life you you have huge issues when you start talking about the complexity of animal systems they're huge they're they're insurmountable and it didn't happen from mutations and that kind of thing so when you're talking about evolution you're not just talking about have you guys heard about the mints the missing link like the missing link have you heard of this yeah it's not the missing link it's millions of missing links there should be more missing links than there are fully formed animals on this planet there should be more in betweens than there are fully formed animals and so what they did you know what well I'll deal with that later basically you go from rat to bat there's all kinds of little transitions between rat to bat and we don't see any of the transitions we see fully formed rats we see fully formed bats we see nothing in between and that's with every animal on this planet on every level when whether you're talking about from single celled all the way up to multi-celled all the way up to humans you have the same exact issues and there is no evidence of transitional forms none no evidence of transitional forms and there should be nothing but transitional forms so you know how they handle it it's called the hopeful monster theory punctuated equilibrium it's the idea of the x-men so with the yeah you guys know the x-men right and so with the x-men what happened is over a short period of time we've had some mutations that have taken place and all of a sudden I can fly and all of a sudden I can I can have I can have laser beams coming out of my eyes and then all of a sudden I can make the weather change all of a sudden that's called punctuated equilibrium daddy and mommy have a kid and they come out with superpowers it's that idea and so a couple of lizards have a kid and it comes out of chicken and I'm being simplistic with that you know what they're talking about is over a very short period of time so short a period of time that you can't see in the fossil record you get all these radical changes so what they're admitting is there's no evidence in the fossil record but on the other hand we don't see evolution because evolution evolution takes too long so we when we look at living animals we don't see any evidence of evolution but when we look at the fossil record we don't see any evidence of evolution when you're looking at living animals let's say it takes too long when you're looking at the fossil record they say it happened in such a short time that there's no record of it that explains everything it's not falsifiable is the point I'm making okay so then you get to the Sun in the moon and stars okay and this is one of those places where I had against some real problems because because in verse 14 God says let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens and we find out that two great lights are made in verse 16 that's the Sun that's an and then the moon and then he made the stars also in verse 16 you know how vast this universe is you know what we're talking about is deep time so when you when you're when you're talking about from the evolutionary point of view you are talking about deep time thirteen point seven point eight seven I think it is now almost 13.8 billion years ago is when this stuff all started and so when you're when you're talking about light that's reaching from that distance you're talking about more than thirteen point because the universe stretches at the same time that the light's coming towards you and I'm not going to get into that but anyway you're talking about you look out 13.8 billion light years and that light has supposedly been traveling at you for that long a period of time and you got a you got a you got a time problem with the Bible here because if God creates all the stars on day four we're doing we're still not seeing them all because of day four is about six thousand years ago then we'd only be able to see about six thousand light years out if it's all working in the way that they say that it works right and so now I got a problem because the universe is vast vast it's huge and light we can see light from as far as we can see I'll show you some pictures in a minute and so you have that whole thing one it one of the issues that you need to keep in mind when we're when we're talking about creation in the first place is that whenever you create anything there is an apparent age to the thing that's made okay and so the way I always illustrate this is Adam so on the day that Adams created say he's created at 6:00 in the morning and you go and visit him at 12:00 noon how old is Adam hey six hours old right it's been you know it's it's his first day right so he's six hours old and how old does he look and so obviously Adam has to be old enough to have kids yes be old enough to take care of himself take care of his wife take care of his kids that kind of things so how old is Adam on the day that he's created and so I don't know optimum you know maybe somewhere around 20 about my age okay so say he's about 20 he has an apparent age of 20 years old and so you walk up on the guy and look at him and go wow you know ya guys had you know good-looking 20 year old because he's perfect right good-looking 20 year old and then you say hey how old are you six hours what are you talking about you know and you're gonna have a conversation with them he's gonna go really I do nothing so you know until six hours ago walking you know got up you know shook off a little dust that was left over you know and God said I they're out I'm here here you are and so you have that you have that in the New Testament to when Jesus fed the 5,000 right so what he's doing is taking a kids lunch he's multiplying it and there's an apparent age to that so you come up and you give me a piece of fried fish it's cooked fish and you hand it to me your your I'm not gonna believe that you just created that there's an apparent age to it and so you start going backwards the fish has to get to me so you walk to me that's how old it is at the very least you walked me from your home right you cooked it so call it 15 minutes well that's probably burning it but you know 15 15 minutes on in the frying pan and before that it had to be a fish and it had to be a fish big enough to catch so I don't know six months a year old it's got a bean before that it's a it's it's an egg and comes from a mommy and daddy fish although that's there's an apparent age to that right well you have that with anything so if there's if there's a creation then it looks like it's older than it is in the first place and so that's one of those things that you can look at you could say okay you know there's there's an apparent age - so if I made this right here this table the tops made it would well the wood has to come from a tree the tree has to be you know a seedling it comes from a seed it grows up it gets cut down it gets processed and then you get the steel down here and all this stuff there's an apparent age cyst and if I just went kaput and there it is it looks older than it is follow that okay so that's one of those things that I used with this but there's still problems with that because if I come up to Adam and he looks like he's 20 years old he says no I'm only six years old and I go oh really and then I'm having a conversation with him and pretty soon he pulls out his phone and he's going through and and he's showing me pictures of his childhood what are you talking about you just told me you're six hours old that's contradictory right and so when you're when you're looking at the universe when we look at the universe things explode and so there are there are things that are like ears away it's a Lightyear as a distance it's not a time it's the period it's the distance that light travels in a year it's about six trillion miles so light travels about that distance in a year and so you have things that are light years out there that blow up so for example the sunlight that you see from the Sun it's nine minutes old the Sun could go out and for nine minutes you don't know it could just go blank you don't know it for nine minutes the light that comes from the Moon Moon was full this morning 1.5 seconds old so when I'm looking at the light from the moon its light that's come from the Sun bounced off and it takes a minute or a second and a half to get to me that's why there's a delay in the communications with the Apollo astronauts on the moon and so you so again you have that and so there are things that are way out there that have exploded there's like a history that's there and so you can't just say it's an apparent age to the universe because otherwise what you got is Adam with you know pictures of his childhood and his parents and is in its cell phone and you can't have that he should have none of that and so there's a problem there okay so one of the things I want to talk to you about right now is the evolutionary idea of where the universe came from so I want to talk to you about the Big Bang and so there's a there's a couple things I got to do with you before I can even get into this and so it has to do with redshift we've talked about this before but now I have pictures okay so this is what's called redshift and when you're when you're looking at redshift let me let me go backwards here when you're looking at red redshift you have a light spectrum and this right here is just a rainbow when when the sun refracts through raindrops you get the spectrum of the white light that comes from the Sun and it goes all the way from ultraviolet to infrared okay and so this is all light ultraviolet light is radiation infrared light is heat okay and so when when you know we we have all these things that we divide stuff up into but it all is light right and so it just depends on how fast the light is going basically it's all made out of particles and so when you're when you're what the redshift is it has to do with something that gives off life and it's moving so this is a star and it's moving towards this dude and when that happens the wavelengths light is a wave has a wave properties they get squished they get pushed together because he and the star are coming together so these get squished and when light is going away from you when a star is moving that direction they get lengthened out that's called redshift okay here's another picture for you so here's that spectrum again and so when you have balloon when you have a galaxy that's moving toward the earth it shifted to the blue and it and the light gets all squished up like this the wavelengths of the light and so that's called a blue shift and when it's moving away from you gets all spread out that's that that's called a red shift okay this is how that works practically speaking I'm on the earth I mean examining these galaxies and in these galaxies they have light from certain stars they have spectra from certain stars you know that stars are made mostly of hydrogen for example and when you look at a spectrum of stars galaxies supernovae those kinds of things they have these bands on them that identify what they're made of okay and so when they are looking at for example this galaxy right here it may have this band that's right here that that let's say it's the hydrogen band it may have this band that's right here and it sits right there and so we don't know a lot about that except for that bands right there but then we look out at a galaxy and we see exactly the same makeup of that chemical with these bands but now it's shifted this direction and that's called a redshift and the farther out you go the farther these bands go this direction that's what the redshift is all about and it's an indication that these are these are quickly moving away from us and that's where you got the whole idea of the big bang when they when they first started looking at this stuff they realize when I look out and I look at the distance galaxy distant galaxies they're shifted towards the red so that must mean that they're moving quickly away from us and the further in we come the less you have that redshift right and so everything's moving away from us well if everything's moving away from us then if you go back in time then everyone everything was in one place and that's where you get the whole idea of the Big Bang that's where it came from everything was in a particle you know type of situation and it blew up and it moved out okay you guys get that okay so that's the whole idea of the redshift when when you're looking at the issues that that go along with the Big Bang there are some problems with this and again this is this is actually I'm gonna go back this is kind of the idea behind the Big Bang everything you have in the universe was in one small spot it was called a singularity just a name one small spot and then what happened was there was an explosion but it's an explosion not just of matter into space it's an expansion of space and time and so BAM there's the explosion and space and time move out and then you get galaxies and they're moving out with the same in the same situation this is what I'm telling you when you're talking about the Big Bang it's not a situation where you had empty space all the matter in the universe in one spot and then booming explodes and goes out into empty space when you're talking about the Big Bang model what you're talking about is all of space all of time everything that you know all of energy and mass is all in one place literally the universe is expanding okay it's not stuff in the universe the universe is expanding into another dimension basically sorry in any case that's that's the Big Bang and so here's kind of how this looks so you start off with the singularity and then this is the hot part of the Big Bang the universe is expanding as time goes on and it's got all these galaxies that are embedded in it and it keeps going on like that it's kind of like a balloon here's my prop this is the only prop I think that I've ever used okay and so my my secretary Christie made this for me and it's a balloon with all kinds of little marks on it that are like galaxies okay so this is how the Big Bang is explained you take these all these little marks on it they're pretty close together and you begin blowing it up and if I get ink on it it's the ink is leaking right it's not dried so if I'd get it on my lips you have to tell me so I don't look stupid up here little rest of it anyway so as you blow this up what happens is everything starts getting farther away from everything right and so you can pick like this little galaxy right here it doesn't matter where you pick it on here as the balloon expands what's going to happen is it's going to get a be getting more and more distance from everything so watch so it gets a little more distant a little more distant and it keeps it keeps doing that and that's the idea this is what's called the Copernican theory of the Big Bang it's the idea that there is no point in space that's special everything is expanding away from everything so if I'm sitting here let's go backwards with this if I'm sitting here and we start going backwards it looks like everything's getting closer to that and so from your point of view it would look like you're in the center but it would be the same thing on this side okay so it keep going back to go back like that and then you get back to the singularity okay so that's the idea the Big Bang without a bounded universe that's with an unbounded universe and it doesn't quite work this is like it's actually a two-dimensional description of three dimensions you have to you know the inside of that would be hyperspace or whatever anyway that's what's being pictured here and you have the same thing this is that balloon illustration as it goes up I just wanted to use my little balloon so there's the big bang over time okay so this again is a it's just a graph it's just an illustration but over here you have this point a small point then there's a huge inflation and if you look at this line right here it's it's it's spreading out but not very quickly over 13.7 billion years okay it's not spreading out very quickly it's pretty flat and so you have your going from a small dot to something the size of the universe that's called cosmic inflation and then from that point on you start going off in time well there's there's some things that you can assume from this one of the things is that you can look back in time so I'm sitting out here on the edge of this whole thing and I want to look at something a long ways away well if light takes one light year for every year to get to me if I'm looking 13.7 billion years back that I'm going to be looking back at things that look like this they're gonna look young okay and so I'm looking from here I'm looking at really distant objects and they should look like this young objects that don't have the same structure that I have in things that are around me is that what we find and that it yeah some of you are shaking your head no that is not what we find this is an example of this this is the Hubble ultra-deep field it was taken in 2014 the galaxies they what they did was they basically picked a blank spot in space where you couldn't see anything with normal telescopes they turned the Hubble towards that and they started taking pictures taking long exposures this is what they got all of these galaxies these are all galaxies all of these galaxies are between five and ten billion light years away and so if that whole light year per year thing works then they should be five to ten billion years in the past but when you when you look at these things it doesn't it doesn't matter where you're looking which is what you're seeing is objects that are just like the objects that we see around us and so you can zoom in on these things that's a spiral galaxy right there and you you have globular galaxies this is probably another spiral galaxy right here the the point that I'm making here is these structures are back in deep time if like I said that whole thing is the way that it's that they say it is they're back in deep time and they look exactly like everything around us and that's not what should be happening and so this is a big issue with a big Bay okay so as far as we can see it all looks the same okay here's another thing when I when I have talked with guys about what the Bible has to say actually you know usually people are attacking me and when I'm defending the position one of the things that people like to do is they like to say well you got a Lightspeed problem Steve because if you got you know the the Bible's talking about 6,000 years of history and we know that we've got at least 13 points you know point six something billion years of history because that's how far out we can see assuming the speed of light has never changed right and so that's that's what we can see so here I am on the earth right here and I'm looking out about 13.8 billion years and I'm seeing what's called the cosmic microwave background radiation we'll talk about that a little bit more in a minute but you look out and you you see these distant stars this distant radiation and that's 13.8 billion years well if I turn around and look this way I'm seeing the same thing and so now you add those two numbers thirteen point eight plus another thirteen point eight you get twenty seven point six billion years billion light years but year two a light year let's do that thirteen are to uh twenty seven point six billion light years well the only the universe is only about 13.8 billion years old 13.7 some and some odd here's not here's a problem that we've got with this this right here is twenty seven billion light years from this right here you only have thirteen point seven 13.8 billion years to work with so this right here cannot see this right here you guys follow that the only thing that can be seen I'm right here I can see this far because that's all the time that I've got there's not enough time for a guy over here to see this over here all he can see is me you guys get that okay that's called the horizon problem and basically what's happened is when we look out at the microwave background radiation it's within hundreds of thousands of a degree smooth it's like almost exactly the same temperature everywhere we were everywhere we look remember what temperature is it's the it's the it's the infrared end of the spectrum right so what we're talking about is light so light from here has the same or this radiation from here has the same temperature as radiation over here as radiation over here as radiation over here as radiation over here and you'll see these pictures of the cosmic background radiation and it'll be all variable but you're talking about thousands of thousandths of a degree in difference it's the same temperature everywhere we look and the problem with that is there you can't have that you have an explosion and these things are out of communication with each other you said you should be seeing different temperatures all around here unless they had communicated with each other and there's not enough time for that and so they've got a Lightspeed problem so I got a Lightspeed problem big bangers have a Lightspeed problem so it doesn't matter who you're talking about again not enough time for light to have traveled across the visible universe here's another problem that you have with a big bang and it's called the flatness problem that's a little bit more complex but this is pretty cool these are these are graph images I got this off of Wikipedia graph images of the density of the universe and how this would look this is a flat universe this is a universe that that's expanding and is never going to come back together expanding quickly and he's never going to come back together this is a graph of a universe that expands for a period of time then falls back in on itself because it's got too much density to it the gravity squishes it okay and so here's what's interesting about this whole thing is this graph when you're talking about the this is Omega Omega is just talking about density so I'm just gonna fill it with that if the density of the universe does not equal 1 then the value changes with cosmic time if a density of the universe is more than 1 then it grows larger and larger if the density unit of the universe is smaller than 1 it's just a random number that they've given then it grows smaller and smaller and this is the idea behind it we're sitting out here ok this is this is time cosmic time this is the beginning right here so that's the Big Bang and we start going off and cosmic time and what we found is we're out here right we're here someplace in this line the density of the universe how quickly things are moving apart is sitting down here somewhere so let's see how am I gonna explain this to you if this was just slightly above 1 at the beginning then you have this curve that takes place and you have a universe that's going to be so heavy that it falls in on itself and you don't have time to make galaxies and stuff if the universe is slightly below 1 then you're going to have a universe that is so spread out that it's just going to go flying apart and again you don't have time to get stars and galaxies and that kind of stuff what they have found is that the universe is almost flat this line is almost flat and so the picture is this right here we have a universe that looks someone like this and again it's just a graph so if the density had been much above 1 it would have Rika elapsed very early before making galaxies if the density had been much below 1 it would have expanded so rapidly that structures would not have formed that requires a lot of fine-tuning and here's why when you're when you're looking at this these numbers go go up exponentially as time goes on and so if you're sitting right here and we're seeing something that you know where there's a line that's almost right here by the time that you get back in time it has to be so close to one just barely barely barely above one that that radical curve there doesn't make much of a difference and the point is that the universe is fine-tuned you go to this next one if the universe is a approximate only flat right now it had to be very very flat at early times just think of that line if the density is about one right now that means the density at T equals one second one second after the Big Bang differed from one by less than one part in 10 to the negative 16th that number is you take a decimal point put 16 zeros in it and write a 1 and that's how close to to one that can be for it to be what we see right now at the Planck's time which is an important thing that you don't care about at the Planck's time the density differed by 1 from 1 by less than one part in 10 to the 60th so again take a decimal point put 60 zeroes mark down a 1 that's how close it had to be 1 at 1 at the very beginning this is the point of all the universes that we have all the options that we have there are many more you know vastly more options for a universe that would be above 1 or below 1 and we are so close to one that at the time that we're at even with that curve at the time that we're at we still have a universe that's almost flat with a very slight expansion that's taking place and it keeps our universe stable the whole point that I'm making here is this is designed this is designed and so again if Omega had been below much below 1 it would have expanded so rapidly that structures would not have formed and this is what I put in God's signed the universe for you it's like putting his name on it and so that's a cool thing here's another thing let me go back to this ok so when you look at this graph what we're seeing here is we're clear out here and we're seeing a density that looks like this right here okay well this is time alright and so what I'm telling you is if we're seeing a density look that looks like this right here when we should be seeing something that's more like this or more like this if it's all just random then what we have is either it's radically radically fine-tuned and designed or it's not as old as we think it is because when you go back in time this this number it gets closer and closer to 1 follow that so either way it's something that contradicts the Big Bang there aren't you aren't you blessed by that yeah okay so this is what they came up with to fix it they know that they've got a problem they figured this out in actually in gosh probably in the late 50s early 60s they've known that they've had this problem the whole time it wasn't until the 80s that a guy came up with a solution to the problem and the solution is cosmic inflation and I I just pulled this definition off the internet in physical cosmology cosmic inflation cosmological inflation or just inflation is a theory of exponential expansion of the universe and the of space in the early universe the inflationary epoch lasted 10 to the negative 36 seconds after the Big Bang singularity - sometime between 10 to the negative 33rd and ten to the negative 30 seconds seconds after the singularity fraction fraction fraction of an ant's of a second very small period of time and in that very small period of time the universe inflated from a point all the way to something that's the size of the universe okay and so following the inflationary period the universe continued to expand that the expansion was no longer accelerating okay so here's that previous picture that I gave you of the whole Big Bang that's the particle that's the that's the the singularity at the very beginning then you have cosmic inflation that's the that's this next part and then you have these long ages where there's slight expansion but small point boom cosmic inflation this is universe sized cosmic inflation and then expansion up and up until modern times and so this is the inflationary period okay this is actually a picture of that graph that I was telling you about or that image that I was telling you about with a co with a microwave background radiation okay so from nothing too huge okay so what started it and they don't know then it had to stop so what stopped it and they don't know what kept it from being something that was all over the page like in this part it expands radically quickly this part it's less quick you know and and so on well kept those things from happening and they don't know what evidence do we have for this none we have no evidence this is an ad hoc explanation to save the Big Bang this was this is from John Kramer he said this the problem with all of this is that the inflation scenario seems rather contrived and raises many unresolved questions why is the universe created with the inflation field displaced from equilibrium in other words it has an equal power everywhere why is the displacement the same everywhere what are the initial conditions that produce inflation how can the inflationary phase be made to last long enough to produce our universe thus the inflation scenario which was invented to eliminate the contrived initial conditions of the Big Bang model apparently needs contrived initial conditions of its own and the point is what they were doing was trying to save the Big Bang because those problems that I gave you there's others magnetic monopoles you guys watch the Big Bang Theory our whole universe was in a hot dense state than 13 million years ago expansion started wait no anyway there's a there's a there's a an episode where Sheldon goes to the North Pole and he's looking for magnetic monopoles and the reason he's doing that is because he's a he's an astrophysicist and he's trying to find evidence for the Big Bang it's another huge problem that you don't care about but anyway what I'm telling you is there's problems with the Big Bang as a general Hulk more pie like this guy as a general scientific principle it's undesirable to depend crucially on what is unobservable to explain what is observable as happens frequently in Big Bang cosmology you know he went on to say when Big Bang proponents make assertion such as the evidence taken together hangs together beautifully they overlook observational facts that have been piling up for 25 years and that have now become overwhelming of course if one ignores contradictory observations one can claim to have an elegant or robust theory but it isn't science and again that's what you have with the Big Bang I've been actually you know what when you when you're talking about scientific theories and scientific positions are called paradigms and usually a scientific paradigm hangs around until they have something better to replace it with and so what you will see is scientists who hold on to an exploit explanation for example in this situation for the universe they hold on to the theory they keep propping it up with nice stories like the inflationary period they keep doing this until they can find something the better fits the facts and then they go oh never mind none of that was true this happens over and over in science except with except with some people and so okay so what's that got to do with me Steve this is what it's got to do with you I want you to know that when you are talking to people who know this stuff a lot of times what you're getting is you're getting half of the story they're not telling you the problems with it and you need to know that there are problems with it we we have a whole culture nowadays that tries to make science and scientists their religion you know even even science estaban said and so you know you you have this situation where people are standing on this kind of thing and some of them are Christians they're they're holding up the Big Bang as the way that God created the universe and there are huge problems with the Big Bang and it's on its way out and we just haven't experienced that whole thing yet I don't expect you to remember all this stuff except for remember horizon problem never flatten this problem old structures in a young universe those are the things I just told you and if if somebody comes up to you and goes well the big bang bah blah blah blah blah well what about the flattest problem buddy what about that well what's what are you talking about Wow you better go check it out because you don't know anything about the flatness problem I know some stuff about the flat that's probably tell me no go look it up yourself what about your Lightspeed and God but nah yeah well you need to go look that up yourself because you got a horizon issue that's Bucky so there's the horizon problem what's a horizon problem I kind of tell you you should have known your stuff what are you doing coming here talk to me about the Big Bang you don't even know about the horizon problem what's your deal you know I've actually done that with people in any case oh you know again all these things are held up as certainties are not certain on any kind of level and the things that they come up with to try to prop up those certainties are things that have no evidence for them they can't find it and so again you have that you know there's a reason that God made the universe vast as the heavens are high above the earth so great is God's compassion for those who fear Him heavens vast universe is vast we can't we can't see it all yet we can't see everything that we could see yet it's huge God says in the Book of Jeremiah if you can count the Stars I'll forget my covenant with Israel and the amount of stars is vast it's it's overwhelmingly vast and every time God looks uses the heavens as an example it's something that he uses to show his compassion how compassionate it is how trustworthy is how powerful he is says he holds the heavens in the span of his hand that's from here to here holds the heavens and the space his hand gods powerful he's compassionate he's absolutely trustworthy when he gives his word he keeps it and those are just a few of the verses and so this stuff's cool and again when I found this stuff out it makes me feel a whole lot better okay next week we're done right now next week I'm going to go in and talk a little bit about some theories about how to deal with this whole Lightspeed issue somebody when one of the ladies when we first started the Genesis studies I was talking about thirteen billion years and and that whole thing and she said Steve I thought that the Bible in the case of the earth is way younger than that and I said oh yeah it does and so there are ways to reconcile these things and so we're gonna we're gonna be talking about some cool stuff next week so don't miss next week let's let's pray because I don't want to repeat it let's pray and we'll get you out of here thank you God again for your word thank you Lord so much for the love that you have for us thank you for the fact that we serve and honor and live for a God who is overwhelmingly powerful and Lord as we as we look at your creation you've said about it that the heavens declare the glory of God and that firmament shows his handiwork day in the day it others it's speech there's not a language where people can't understand this and God is just a cool thing that you've done Lord we we just pray that as we go our way that our lives would be honorable to you that you'd open up opportunities for us to share your love with the people who around us and God I I just really like it that I don't have to check my brain in at the door you have answers and so just give you the rest of the day pray that you bless it all in Jesus name Amen
