this painting , I hope and pray , shows that science tries to explain HOW God made the universe after creation, the big bang starts "AFTER" creation and does not attempt to say how creation happened.
the words are from genisis 1 new kjv bang wording is a very condensed version. please keep in mind that I became a Christian 40 years ago because I had studied physics and when i picked up the bible I saw the big bang theory in it , so I read the rest and thought that Jesus was one that I could follow.
10to -42 seconds , a small fraction of a second after creation is as far back as science knows 13.8 billion years ago , between 13 and 20 seconds after creation the universe was 75% hydrogen and 25% helium.
Gravity took 400 million years for the first star to form and make light, and stars begin fusion creating heavier elements, releasing enough energy to counter gravity, till iron the star collapses under gravity then blows up with enough energy to create the rest of the elements, SUPERNOVA'S can start a new a new star with planets like ours.
the earth formed from rocks circulating our sun and then a mars sized planed hit the earth and the moon was formed from the debris, our sun formed 9 billion years after creation and is 4.7 years old.
the earth day of 6 hours became longer as the earth and moon merged and cooled, land and seas formed.
a bacteria, stramotolite made oxygen on the earth, sea creatures came first then birds and trees and plants, land animals came next then came mankind ---- in the garden Earth----
on the 7th day God rested.
___________________________
a star forms from hydrogen condensing by gravity , fusion occures star ignites , fusion is a process where 2 elements combine to form a third element, some mass is lost and converted to energy (e=mc/2).that energy stops the star from condensing further untill Iron is formed and takes more energy to fuse than is created and gravity takes over , the star collapses inward and compresses with enough energy to cause the star to blow up and create the rest of the elements through fusion.
in 1620 James Usher calculated the age of the earth as 6000 years, he forgot that a day to the lord is like a thousand years , when that verse was written 1000 was the largest number, galilio was imprisioned for thinking that the sun was the center of the universe at the same time , Mr usher also forgot to include the ages of the city that cain wen to to get get a wife, I have been told that I can not be Christian if I believe that the earth is older than 6000 years , I am a Christian who belives in logic and truth.
