1 | Chronology of Creation | Gen 1:3 | Emmaus | 65986 | ||
"God's personal will, expressed in his word, which bridges the chasm between God and formlessness, first produces light, the most sublime of the elements. It stands in marked contrast to the darksome chaos and by reason of its perfect correspondence to the divine will, is found to be "good." " The Jerome Biblical Commentary Prentice Hall Inc. 1968 pg. 11 Even ardent materialists admit light as "the most sublime element" and time itself is measured by it. What did the "Big Bang" produce according to the atheistic materialists? An explosion of light! Emmaus |

Hello Emmaus, "...time itself is measured by it [light]." Rather than saying that time is measure by light, would it not be more correct to say that time is measure by the luminaries? Gen 1:14 Then God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and FOR SEASONS AND FOR DAYS AND YEARS; [my caps] Gen 1:15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so. Gen 1:16 God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also. Gen 1:17 God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, It is interesting to note that light (Gen 1:3) was created before the luminaries. Peace, |

Hello Lionstrong, In the local sense, yes we do measure time by the "motion" of the luminaries. But we can do that only because of their light, by which we see them. An even then,in the case of stars, we are not really seeing them, but rather the light that left them light years ago. In my comment I was thinking of how we measure time in "light years" and how the speed of light is the finite limit of material movement as we know it. At least until someone devlopes warp drive. :-) But your point is correct and certainly more poetic and beautiful than mine. You had a better writer. The Very Best! Emmaus |

Emmaus what do you think about the new evidence that the speed of light may be slowing, At best we now know the speed of light is not the wall we once thought is was. Do you think we need to change the science books to be E(equals)mc? |

One, I am not enough of a scientist to commnent on your question. I wasn't even aware that the speed of light was slowing. Emmaus |
