MODERN MAN'S THEORY OF EVOLUTION HAS COME TO REST UPON THE
CONSISTANCY OF THE SPEED OF LIGHT. COSMOLOGICAL ASTRONOMERS HAVE FOR YEARS ARGUED THAT SINCE LIGHT TRAVELS AT THE KNOWN RATE OF 186,000 MILES PER SECOND; THEN THE UNIVERSE MUST IN FACT BE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD FOR THE LIGHT OF THE SUN TO TRAVEL TO THE VAST AND DISTANT CORNERS OF THE COSMOS THAT IT INDEED REACHES. THE GREAT DISTANCES TO THE DISTANT STARS ARE MEASURED IN THE ASTRONOMICAL TERM OF "LIGHT YEARS"; OR THE DISTANCE THAT LIGHT CAN TRAVEL IN ONE YEAR AT 186,000 MILES PER SECOND. FOR INSTANCE, THE SUN IS 93,000,000 MILES FROM THE EARTH, WHICH DOESN’T EVEN AMOUNT TO ONE SINGLE LIGHT YEAR. ONE LIGHT YEAR AMOUNTS TO ABOUT 7,000,000,000,000 MILES IN DISTANCE. SO, WHEN ASTRONOMERS RELATE THAT CERTAIN STARS ARE MILLIONS OF LIGHT YEARS AWAY, YOU CAN READILY SEE THAT IT IS A TREMENDOUS DISTANCE TO THE OUTER BANKS OF CELESTIAL BODIES. THESE DISTANCES WOULD SEEM TO INDICATE THAT LIGHT FROM THE SUN WOULD HAVE NEEDED MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF YEARS TO HAVE TRAVELED THOSE IMMENSE DISTANCES. THIS EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT OF TIME IS THEREFORE USED TO EXPLAIN THE CONCEPTS OF EVOLUTION, AND TO DENY THAT THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE WAS CREATED BY GOD IN THE RELATIVELY SHORT SPAN OF ABOUT 6 LITERAL DAYS IMPLIED IN THE GENESIS RECORD. THIS "LIGHT FACTOR" HAS BEEN THE COSMOLOGICAL CRUTCH FOR THE EVOLUTIONIST. BUT THE BIBLE CONTAINS SOME INFORMATION ABOUT LIGHT THAT TOTALLY DESTROYS THE EVOLUTIONISTS PROPOSITION ABOUT AN OLD CONTINUALLY EVOLVING UNIVERSE, AND THOSE VAST DISTANCES MEASURED BY THE ASTRONOMERS. GENESIS CHAPTER ONE OF COURSE RECORDS THAT GOD CREATED THE FIRMAMENT AND USED IT TO DIVIDE THE HEAVENS. LATER, ON DAY 4 OF THE CREATIVE DESIGN SCHEDULE, HE PLACED THE VARIOUS LIGHT BEARERS SUCH AS THE SUN, THE MOON, AND THE MANY STARS THROUGHOUT THAT FIRMAMENT. BUT THE PROPHET ISAIAH DIVULGES SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT ABOUT THE CREATION OF THE FIRMAMENT THAT GENESIS DOES NOT PROVIDE. TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THESE VERSES: ISAIAH 45:12 THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD THAT CREATED THE HEAVENS, AND STRETCHED THEM OUT: ISAIAH 45:12 I HAVE MADE THE EARTH, AND CREATED MAN UPON IT; I, EVEN MY HANDS, HAVE STRETCHED OUT THE HEAVENS, AND ALL THEIR HOST HAVE I COMMANDED. ISAIAH 44:24 THUS SAITH THE LORD, THY REDEEMER, AND HE THAT FORMED THEE IN THE WOMB, I AM THE LORD THAT MAKETH ALL THINGS; THAT STRETCHETH FORTH THE HEAVENS ALONE: JEREMIAH 10:12 HE HATH MADE THE EARTH BY HIS POWER, HE HATH ESTABLISHED THE WORLD BY HIS WISDOM, AND HATH STRETCHED OUT THE HEAVENS BY HIS DISCRETION. ( ALSO ZECHARIAH 12:1 AND AMOS 9:6)
“NO WONDER JESUS IS REFERRED TO AS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD” AND A LIGHT UNTO MY PATH
