What is the Light Travel-Time Problem? And what about the Big Bang? - Dr. Danny Faulkner

Taken from "Beyond Is Genesis History? Vol 2 : Life & Design." Available in full here:

You will explore the universe, the tower of Babel, the Hebrew text, and the history of interpretation of Genesis (plus much more) in these 12 new videos featuring scientists and scholars from the documentary.

Astronomer Danny Faulkner describes his solution to the light travel-time problem, then discusses many of the issues with Big Bang cosmology. Part of the "Beyond Is Genesis History?" series.

Dr. Danny Faulkner received his PhD in astronomy from Indiana University. He is distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of South Carolina-Lancaster, where he taught astronomy and physics for over 26 years. Since January, 2013, he has been the staff astronomer at Answers in Genesis in northern Kentucky.

Thank you for your work. 30 years ago I believed in an old earth and universe. I believed in ancient fossils. I tried to fit scripture into my world view. I mean, why would God try to fool us? Now I know that I was the fool. I had been fooled by secular “science”. I now know I must make science fit my Biblical view. Everything works better if we believe what God has told us. Thank you for revealing this too me. Ha, I used to think I was so smart....

Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain. Psalm 104:2

I'm glad I found this channel. Fascinating stuff. I like the passion in these peoples eyes as they let us in on what they have learned. Brilliance. It lights things up.

Im so glad i found this channel!! What a beautiful site to see.

I liked the thought that we are connected with the ancients looking at the same stars. That’s neat!

Sometimes it's hard to experience this current experience without experiencing an overwhelming experience of the miraculous.

[ivepoints]

The secret things belong to the LORD! Those that He has revealed to us belong to us.
The heavens declare His MAJESTY!


The universe isn't there to tell us where we came from but to prove to us how GREAT YAHWEH IS! He is tipping His hand to us so we are left with no excuse to deny Him

[adamdaniel]

Chuck Missler explains this in a great way also.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK AND INSIGHTS! Blessings!

The concept of rapid maturing discussed in this video could also be a possible way of making geology compatible with young earth creationism.

I have studied geology myself, and I know that the earth appears to be old. Which, on the other hand, of course is no proof that it actually is. But that is how it seems to be, when we study the different kinds of rock formations. The concept of rapid maturing opens up the perspective that several billion years worth of geological history could play out in just a few minutes or hours during Creation.

There is a relationship between the light and what is dark or invisible in the universe, so well intermingled to create electromagnetic force, gravity, and black holes.

Thank you for explaining this. God bless you

Have you considered the implication of Isaiah 42:5 and Isaiah 45:12 - 42:5 "So says Jehovah God, He who created the heavens and stretched them out, spreading out the earth and its offspring; He who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk in it" and 45:12 "I have made the earth, and created man on it; I with My hands have stretched out the heavens; and all their host have I commanded?" Does it not solve the time problem if the heavens were created in a "central spot / the point of observation" and then God spread it all out in all directions. In such a case, would we not observe a red (doppler) shift, and would the implication not therefore be that the "oldest" light would be at the central observation point from the moment it all started?

Around 6:00
When I think what the “bringing forth the light” as Danny says, and what that would look like from an Earth perspective, I can see why this would be described as stretching out the heavens in the Bible.

15:10 What you didn't mention is, it was rejected in two ways : by Heliocentrics, but also by Tychonian Heliocentrism.

Tycho's disciple Kepler changed two things : 1) he was Heliocentric, 2) he considered the orbits more or less elliptic.

Now, what the last main Geocentric did - his name was Giovanni Battista Riccioli - was to keep Kepler's ellipses, but revert to Tychonian overall geometry.

Once all epicycles (except those of minor bodies like Io or Phobos) had the Sun as epicentre of one elliptic focus, it works (except for the quirks of Mercury, discussed by Einstein).

Great explanations and examples! It is important to understand the physical, but eventually you have to go back to the miraculous.

As for the plants, the ground wasn't cursed until The Fall. So before that (like during creation), the soil was perfect and blessed.
