00:22 Welcome to Heavens Declare. I'm Jim Burr and we're doing 00:28 astronomy from a Biblical perspective and the Hubble space 00:33 telescope. We have over 300 pictures lined up for this 00:39 series of programs. Today we're talking about the big bang. 00:44 In fact, the big bang that never happened. I did a bunch of 00:48 programs on Loma Linda television and the title of 00:52 whole series was The Hubble, The Bible, The Big Bang and I think 00:56 from that some people thought I believed in the big bang. Let's 01:00 make it clear, I do not believe in the big bang and neither do a 01:05 lot of scientists. Of course, you've probably heard it said 01:08 I believe in the big bang - God said it and bang there it was. 01:13 And that kind of actually seems to work. There are a lot of 01:18 scientists that have problems with the big bang. In fact, 01:22 there are 300 who signed a statement that they have 01:26 questions, great, great questions about the big bang. 01:30 There have been a couple of conferences held; there was one 01:34 held in 2005 in Portugal. There was another one held in Port 01:39 Angeles, Washington and it's called a crisis in cosmology. 01:43 It's a crisis because they look at the big bang and there are so 01:48 many problems with the big bang. The reason they hang onto the 01:52 big bang is they have nothing better to go to. And like it was 01:55 George Smoot who said we typically don't jump ship unless 01:59 we've got something better to jump to and for now I'm going to 02:02 stay with the big bang. I have a statement here that says 02:07 regarding the crisis in cosmology, this conference that 02:11 was held and this was in 2008 when about 50 astronomers and 02:16 physicists met at the Redline Hotel in Port Angeles, 02:20 Washington. Scientists from the conference told reporters that 02:23 the big bang origin of the universe is a myth. It never 02:28 happened. These are 50 scientists. The critics claim 02:33 that the big bang theory suggests the universe began out 02:37 of nothing violating the first law of thermodynamics. 02:41 Proponents of the big bang theory say that such criticism 02:45 is unwarranted for two reasons. The first is that the big bang 02:49 doesn't address the creation of the universe, but rather the 02:53 evolution of the universe. So we have no explanation for how the 02:57 big bang happened, what caused it, you know, why did it bang. 03:03 So the first reason is that the big bang doesn't explain how it 03:09 started, only how it has evolved The other reason is that since 03:14 the laws of science, now listen to this, since the laws of 03:18 science break down as you approach the creation of the 03:22 universe there is no reason to believe the first law of 03:26 thermodynamics would apply. The first law of thermodynamics says 03:30 that nothing comes from nothing. You can't create energy nor 03:35 destroy energy. You can only change it. If I strike a match 03:40 here, from that match heat goes out, light goes out, smoke goes 03:45 out, so we have simply changed from one state to another. 03:50 So the first law of thermodynamics 03:52 says you see all this energy we're showing you in one of our 03:56 series, eruptions on the sun, 120,000 sextillion tons of 04:00 matter blasting off the sun. The sun fuses 620 metric tons of 04:06 hydrogen every second; every second it fuses 620 metric tons 04:11 of hydrogen. Well that's energy, where'd that come from you see? 04:15 According to the first law of thermodynamics it can't happen. 04:19 And they say well it really doesn't apply because the laws 04:23 of physics break down as you approach the creation of the 04:27 universe. So where did the laws come from? You know, where did 04:31 the laws of physics come from? So that's the problem. We have a 04:35 graphic coming up here that shows you what they think the 04:39 universe started with a big bang and how it has exploded and then 04:44 you see man way over there on the right. First you have this 04:48 little speck that exploded and this envelope got bigger and 04:51 bigger and then stars form and after one second and then three 04:54 seconds you have galaxies forming and then man and that's 05:02 where it all came from. That's the best explanation they have, 05:05 OK? I was reading an article which said if the latest 05:09 discovery is true, we know less than nothing. The accelerating 05:14 universe violates all standard physics, we're told. It says 05:20 forget the big bang. Now it's the big bounce. The next one we 05:25 have is Scientific American and that says there are quantum gaps 05:31 in the big bang theory. Why our best explanations of how the 05:35 universe evolved must be fixed or replaced. That's Scientific 05:39 American, quantum gaps in the big bang. Yet another 05:44 headline, front page cover here of... This is Astronomy magazine 05:49 and it says the big bang is cosmology's greatest puzzle. 05:54 The next one we have is Science News and Science News says the 06:00 big bang wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Then we have 06:06 Our Undiscovered Universe: The Big Bang or Big Bust. We have 06:10 one, Sky and Telescope says the universe is in a box. You know, 06:15 forget the big bang. The universe from a big bang to a 06:18 big box. Some of these articles written about the problems 06:22 with the big bang. Here's a book written that says The Big Bang 06:26 Never Happened. That's kind of an interesting book. You've got 06:30 a lot of good material in there. David Dilworth said the big 06:36 bang theory is a house of tissue paper that is about to collapse 06:41 under its own weight. This was a statement from the Crisis in 06:45 Cosmology conference that was held there in Port Angeles, 06:49 Washington. So these scientists say the universe is in a crisis, 06:55 it's a crisis as they have no explanation for how we got here 07:00 and they don't want to accept the Bible which says in the 07:04 beginning God created the heavens and the earth. You know, 07:08 at the Hadron collider we've actually proven that statement. 07:12 Psalm 33 verse 6 says by the word of the Lord were the 07:15 the heavens made, and we can now see that the Hadron collider 07:21 takes a million dollars' worth of electricity every day and with 07:26 that tremendous energy, that tremendous power, they're 07:30 actually able to make protons, matter. This is matter. They've 07:34 actually been able to prove creation and create matter from 07:39 energy. That verifies Psalm 33 verse 6 by the word of the Lord 07:44 were the heavens made. Folks that is the general theory of 07:48 relativity. That is E=MC2 and they have proven it at the 07:53 Hadron collider. I'd like to share with you an illustration 07:57 of what's going on in our solar system and for the illustration 08:01 we've got a little ball. This is going to represent Jupiter, OK? 08:06 My hand is the sun, my hand is the sun; here's Jupiter. This is 08:11 gravity, this string will be gravity that's going to hold 08:13 Jupiter in its orbit. So as I swing this you'll notice that my 08:18 hand is wobbling, OK? well as Jupiter goes around our sun it 08:24 actually causes the sun to move a half a million miles, 500,000 08:30 miles. The sun is going to move off center. Well when we get 08:36 Jupiter and Saturn, it's quite a different scene. When Jupiter 08:41 and Saturn gang up on the sun in other words, when they're both 08:46 on the same side of the sun it almost moves it a million miles 08:50 off center. When Jupiter and Saturn are balanced on each side 08:54 of the sun, the sun comes back almost to the center. You can 08:57 look this up. If you look at the Berry center of the sun there 09:00 are actually some video clips you can see out there and see 09:05 how the sun wobbles. What is interesting, I was attending a 09:09 lecture in Oklahoma, a professor from the University of Oklahoma, 09:13 who was lecturing on gravity. I got choked up, on gravity? 09:20 What this professor said is when you have three objects, three 09:26 bodies of different masses, there is no mathematician on 09:29 earth that can write a formula for the center of rotation of 09:34 three bodies that are different masses. When I got home I 09:37 e- mailed the professor and I said before I repeat this in 09:41 public, did I hear you correctly? And he said yes. He said go to 09:45 Wikipedia/three body problem. Since Isaac Newton nobody has 09:50 ever been able to write a formula for the center of 09:52 rotation of three bodies that are different masses. He said 09:54 now we can work at it, we can get close. The longer we work 10:00 the closer we get but it never has been done. It never can be 10:02 done. Now there are a couple guys on the internet who claim 10:05 they've done it but I would I guess to along with this 10:09 professor and another professor that I heard about. So he said 10:14 we can simulate it on a computer what's happening but 10:18 we cannot write a formula for the rotation of three bodies. 10:21 What choked me up in this meeting is the fact I've been 10:24 showing audiences for the last few years 10 million stars in 10:31 orbit. As I mentioned before, we have in our galaxy 100 billion 10:38 suns, 200 billion suns, rotating. But as we look around 10:41 there we see these globs of star clusters, globular clusters. The 10:46 Omega cluster, they say, is 10 million stars. So the Hubble 10:50 zoomed in and zoomed in and zoomed in on that. In fact, we 10:53 have a graphic coming up here where you'll see the still frame 10:58 This is the still frame of the Omega star cluster and just look 11:03 at the color, the red stars being the cooler stars, the blue 11:08 stars, the white stars being the hotter stars. What an image that 11:12 is. What is exciting, the Hubble zoomed in, zoomed in, zoomed in 11:17 and then it plotted these stars. It watches these stars for four 11:22 years and in four years it can now project how they will move 11:28 over the next 10,000 years. What choked me up was we can't 11:34 figure out a formula for three. We have 100 billion in the 11:38 galaxy. God's got it all figured out. We've got 100 billion or 11:43 200 billion galaxies and 100, 200 billion stars in each galaxy 11:47 God's got it all under control in their appointed order. 11:50 We can't give you a formula for three. You say what is man? 11:54 So we have a little clip. We want to show you that clip as 11:58 the Hubble zoomed in on the Omega star cluster and you'll 12:02 see how they're going to move over the next, actually, over 12:07 the next 10,000 years. Ten million stars. Quite a sight to 12:12 see. All part of our Milky Way galaxy. We have over 100 of 12:17 these globuloclusters of stars. I think what would really be 12:21 exciting would be to live on the edge of that cluster of stars. 12:26 Can you imagine having 10 million stars in the sky as 12:31 bright as Venus for six months of the year and then six months 12:34 of the year you're looking off into space where you have other 12:38 things to look at. But this is just an incredible clip of the 12:42 stars. Now you see their motion. This is how these stars will 12:46 move over the next 10,000 years. And then we want to show you 12:51 after this part of this roll is what happens to our sun. Our 12:55 sun is traveling through space at about 45,000 miles an hour 13:01 taking planets with it in a helix. In fact, all those stars 13:06 are moving in that screen that you saw; moving 40,000 or 13:11 50,000 miles an hour. This is actually computer animation of 13:15 what you might see if you were going to travel through a galaxy 13:19 I think we're going to get to travel with Jesus through space. 13:22 The Bible says in Revelation 14 the redeemed from the earth are 13:26 going to follow the Lamb wherever he goes and the Bible 13:29 says and so shall we ever be with the Lord. I bet he can't 13:33 wait to take you and show you the beautiful things that he has 13:37 created. Here is what's actually happening to our sun as it goes 13:43 through space in a helix taking the planets with it in rotation. 13:48 That outer planet there coming through the bottom, that would 13:52 probably be Pluto. It's takes Pluto 247 years to go around the 13:56 sun. It's traveling at 10,600 miles an hour. In other words, 14:00 while Pluto goes around one time, our earth has gone around 14:05 247 times as you see all the planets making their orbits 14:10 there. Now it doesn't show you the wobble I was telling you 14:15 about; how our sun actually wobbles by the motion of 14:20 Jupiter. So as the sun is traveling through space we 14:24 should see it moving every 10 years half a million miles. 14:30 If you were going to look at our sun from space, suppose you're 14:34 looking at it here in space and you're looking at our sun and 14:37 Jupiter's going round like this. If Jupiter's going around this 14:40 way you wouldn't sense that motion but if it's visualized 14:45 with Jupiter going around the sun like this, OK, you would see 14:49 a sine wave. You would see a wave where the motion of the sun 14:54 goes up, comes back down to a baseline. It's going go up for 14:58 two-and-a-half years. It's a 10-year, Jupiter's a 10-year 15:02 orbit, OK. So we've got a 10- year sine wave OK. So it would 15:05 start off it goes up a quarter of a million miles, then it 15:08 comes back down through center, it goes a quarter of a million 15:11 miles the other way. Every 10 years you get a sine wave OK. 15:15 Are you with me on that? Then Saturn goes around every 29 15:20 years. So now you've got this sine wave increasing over a 29 15:24 year period and so you've got two sine waves superimposed on 15:28 each other. So you've got a 10- year sine wave and you've got a 15:32 29-year sine wave. And then you've got Mercury. Little old 15:35 Mercury goes around every 88 days. Mercury's going to move 15:39 the sun by 200 miles. So now on this sine wave you've got an 15:43 oscillation here and then Venus is going to go around every 250 15:47 some days. And so you've got another sine wave of Venus which 15:50 is going to be about 500 miles, Venus is going to move it as 15:53 it's going across. Then earth is going to move the sun 300 miles. 15:58 Mars isn't going to have much effect. So you've got all these 16:02 motions. I have heard that the sun has about 30 different 16:07 motions with it. The sun itself is spinning every 28 days, 16:12 rotating on its axis. It's kind of like a water balloon. It kind 16:16 of does a little of this. It's in the galaxy rotating in the 16:20 arm of the galaxy, it goes around the galaxy and the galaxy 16:25 is a moving part of the local cluster. So we have all these 16:30 incredible motions that our sun is going through. What is 16:33 interesting... Do you remember seeing that beautiful picture 16:37 of all those stars. In Desire of Ages it says God is in active 16:42 communication with every part of his creation through channels 16:47 which we cannot discern. Our God is an awesome God. But we're 16:52 talking about the big bang. There was a special article, The 16:57 Cosmic Life Cycle and that is in Scientific American. This whole 17:03 issue was just about the origin of the universe. The next 17:08 statements I have all come from that magazine and it made this 17:13 statement: With the big bang, first there was nothing and then 17:17 it exploded. The big bang offers no explanation apart from dumb 17:21 luck. The big bang offers no explanation for the origin of 17:25 the universe apart from dumb luck. We just got really lucky 17:30 folks with the big bang. We just got really lucky. And yet 17:35 evolutionists claim that the big bang is good, established 17:39 science. We've been talking about this crisis in cosmology. 17:43 Three hundred scientists have signed on that they think there 17:47 are problems with the big bang. There were 30 papers written at 17:51 that last conference talking about the problems with the big 17:55 bang, talking about the cosmic background radiation. This is 17:59 supposed to be a proof that the universe expanded because we 18:02 have this left over radiation. Folks turn your FM radio or your 18:06 AM off dial and turn up the volume. You have radio fog. 18:09 OK. There's a lot of radio noise out there. There is 18:12 intergalactic noise, all kinds of noise. In fact, when we're 18:16 having any of these meteor showers and Perseids on August 18:20 12th, the Leonids in November, the Geminis. If you turn your FM 18:24 radio off of a station and crank up the volume you can actually 18:29 hear the meteor showers. Sssh they go to your radio on those 18:34 nights when they peak. This one article was kind of cool because 18:38 the guy was writing about the fact that the cosmic background 18:42 CMB radiation really does not prove the big bang. There's so 18:46 so much radio noise out there, so much radio fog they say, that 18:50 it didn't really prove anything. Anyhow so this magazine, 18:55 Scientific American, special issue, goes on and it says the 18:59 big bang cannot answer six profound questions. The first 19:03 and the main problem is the very existence of the big bang. How 19:06 could everything appear from nothing. One of the problems is 19:09 the uniformity of universe. If we look at the universe, how 19:12 come it's so uniform? How come the galaxies are spaced? 19:15 You look at the Hadron collider and you see the particles, they 19:18 shoot off in straight lines, but here we see everything going 19:22 around, galaxies going around. The expansion of the universe is 19:25 a problem. Dark matter is a problem. They create dark matter 19:29 to explain what they see happening in the universe. 19:32 Vacuum energy in the universe. The galaxies are expanding and 19:35 so it must be vacuum energy, this giant sucking sound, 19:39 is making the galaxies go faster every day. The density of the 19:42 universe. They say the density must be one part in ten 19:47 quintillion, OK. I like to illustrate-the ladies make a 19:52 cake. If you put in a tablespoon of salt instead of a teaspoon 19:55 you've got a disaster. But what they're saying is the universe 19:58 is so finely tuned that if you're making this cake you've 20:02 got to count out 10 quintillion grains of salt. If you get 10 20:06 quintillion and one you've got a disaster. If you miss one grain 20:10 of salt, you've got a disaster. That's what they're saying. 20:13 This universe is so finely tuned it's called the anthropic 20:16 principle. All these things that tell us that it seems as if the 20:21 universe was designed for us. So the next graphic we have is 20:28 just a beach actually. This just illustrates the 10 quintillion 20:35 grains of sand OK, or grains of salt. They tell us that if you 20:40 took all the sands on planet earth, roughly equivalent to all 20:46 the stars in the known universe. Here is was Jeremiah who said 20:50 that the stars are like seashore There must have been people 20:53 ready to put Jeremiah in a mental institution. Jeremiah, 20:56 don't you read the Guinness Book of World Records. Jeremiah our 20:59 scientists have counted the stars, before they had the 21:01 telescope, we know that there are about 6000 stars you can see 21:05 with the naked eye. Jeremiah said like sands of the seashore. 21:09 You can't count the stars and their scientists had counted the 21:14 stars. So today scientists, we see, quoting Jeremiah, 21:18 scientists today would tell you if you roughly took all the sand 21:22 on planet earth, roughly equivalent to all the stars in 21:26 the known universe. We had one more graphic there of the big 21:30 bang because I wanted to share a statement here. This is from 21:34 Dr. Bakanni's book and he says in the beginning of the 21:37 universe it may have been as small as a millionth of a 21:41 millionth of a millionth of the size of the smallest atom and 21:45 here we are and I sometimes carry a big chunk of steel and a 21:49 hammer OK. And I'm going to try to compress this steel and get 21:53 it into a thimble, you know. You can't compress that and yet they 21:57 would like us to think this whole universe, all the planets 21:59 and everything in the universe. Take a locomotive, you know, and 22:05 compress that down to the head of a pin. I mean it doesn't make 22:10 a lot of sense. So the Scientific American said the big 22:15 bang has no explanation apart from dumb luck. It goes on to 22:20 say cosmology is a difficult science. Now we don't want to 22:24 get cosmology confused with cosmetology. We've got a graphic 22:32 coming up of cosmetology. So this is cosmetology. What we've 22:38 been looking at is cosmology, OK Actually as I look at this 22:44 picture, I think we just found the big bang right there. OK. 22:49 What is cosmology? A simple answer is in the beginning God. 22:54 In the beginning God created and that is the answer. The big bang 23:00 Scientific American, a highly recognized prestigious magazine, 23:04 said the big bang offers no explanation apart from dumb luck 23:09 It goes on in the article to say cosmology is a difficult science 23:13 but in many ways explaining the whole universe is easier than 23:18 understanding the single-cell animal. Scientific American says 23:22 the living cell is more complex than New York City at rush hour. 23:26 There's more going one in a living cell. What's happening in 23:29 New York City at rush hour. I've been there at rush hour, OK. 23:33 It's a pretty busy place. You know we have all kinds of taxis 23:37 and people, and subways and elevators and text messages and 23:42 everything. The living cell is more complex than New York City 23:45 at rush hour. You know Darwin used to think that the living 23:48 cell was just some protoplasm, a simple little 23:55 thing, but we now know that the living cell is a factory. So 23:58 you realize what Scientific American just said? They said 24:02 the big bang can't explain the universe apart from dumb luck 24:06 but that's easy. That would be easy compared to explaining the 24:11 living cell. I'll read it again. The big bang offers no 24:15 explanation apart from dumb luck Cosmology is a difficult science 24:18 but in many ways explaining the whole universe is easier than 24:22 understanding a single celled animal. Praise the Lord. 24:28 They say that the nebulae hypothesis, this idea of how 24:33 this all began, how it all came to be, the idea of a 24:39 concentration of hydrogen gas and gravity pulled it together 24:42 spinning and spinning and condensing. Finally, gravity got 24:45 this hydrogen gas, gravity's so strong that it actually reached 24:50 like 100 million degrees. Hydrogen at 100 million degrees 24:55 begins fusing the atoms to form heavier ones, the helium, and 25:00 that's what powers our sun. That sun cranks out 620 metric tons, 25:05 it fuses 600 metric tons of hydrogen every second and they 25:09 tell us it's going to go for millions of years. And yet the 25:13 big bang says this all came from a little speck smaller than a 25:18 single atom. I go like wow guys. It just doesn't make sense. 25:24 The sun is 98 percent hydrogen and some helium and so if all 25:30 the planets came from that then we should see Earth, Mars, Venus 25:34 and Mercury should all have similar compositions. Instead we 25:38 see less than 1 percent of these planets have hydrogen and 25:43 helium. So it appears to be 98 percent wrong. The Bible tells 25:48 us the earth was created to be inhabited, Isaiah 45:18. He did 25:52 not make the earth in vain. He created it to be inhabited. We 25:56 can test that because there are over 100 scientific facts that 26:00 tell us that we are perfectly placed, perfectly located. 26:04 We have over 100 parameters about the earth that tell us it 26:08 was designed for us, it was planned for us. When you 26:12 consider them together they demonstrate that the universe 26:15 has been built for man, which collectively is an overwhelming 26:19 argument for a designer. Yes, we see evidence of a designer. 26:23 Paul Davies, Dr. Paul Davies, noted... He's the author and 26:28 university professor of theoretical physics and 26:33 Dr. Davies said... 26:49 Yes, we see hundreds of constants, the mass of a proton, 26:55 the mass of an electron, the relationship of hydrogen and the 27:00 various things that are in the atmosphere. We see these 27:05 hundreds of things that are finely tuned and it all spells 27:10 and points to a designer, a mind that created it, because of the 27:15 complexity. It could not have just happened. How would we see 27:19 all the complexity, all the beauty in this universe. 27:21 It points to a designer and he would like to get to know you. 27:25 The Bible says you can seek him and find him if you search for 27:28 him with all your heart. That's all we have for today folks. 27:32 I hope you'll join us again with the next program on Heavens 27:36 Declare. Thanks for watching. |
