Do you understand the universe to be over 15 billion years old? Or that it was created in 6 days less than 10,000 years ago? If you believe the latter, was the light that appears to have traveled millions of light-years created in transit? Were aging factors built-in? Were the days of Genesis actually geologic ages?

Stretching the Heavens

There are, of course, many other provocative issues. Is the vacuum of space really empty? What is the firmness of the firmament?

The term stretching the heavens appears at least 17 times in the Bible. According to the Scriptures, the heavens can be torn, worn out like a garment, shaken, burnt up, split apart like a scroll, and rolled up like a mantle or a scroll. The concept of being rolled up carries some additional insights. There must be some dimension in which space is thin. If space can be bent, there must be a direction it can be bent toward . Thus, this tells us that there must be additional dimensions beyond those of space itself. And what about the velocity of light - is it really a constant as most physicists have been taught to presume? Or has it, too, been changing as a result of Genesis 3? (The properties of free space - an absolute vacuum - will be explored in next month's article, along with some startling discoveries which may alter our perceptions of this universe in which we live and move and have our being.)
