1 | Can the Hubble measure the universe? | Jer 31:37 | kw5kw | 141852 | ||
Now that N.A.S.A.'s Hubble space telescope can see a long ways off... http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap040309.html ... what are we to think of this verse? (Please look at the link, before you respond.) I am not saying that I'm pro-science. I am very much a creation beleiving Christian. But facts are facts and we need not to totally ignore them. We need the wisdom to make use of this knowledge. Is this another indicator that we're nearing the end of times? After all God gave this verse to Jeremiah for some reson. |

2 | Can the Hubble measure the universe? | Jer 31:37 | greentwiga | 141864 | ||
For years I have had some problems with what the astronomers are saying. Remember I have a college degree in Chemistry. Lets look at the information. Imagine that the Big bang is right. Then imagine that at the point of the Big Bang, the outermost edge of the universe was expanding at the speed of light, the fastest possible speed, they say. Then, 7.5 Billion years ago, the farthest stars were 7.5 billion light years away from the center. If so, and we were at the exact point of the Big Bang, the oldest stars we could see would be 1/2 the age of the universe (50 percent, not 5 percent as the site says.) Now if we were off center, on one side we could see stars considerably older than 50 percent, but on the other side, we would only see stars of a more recent age. For example, We might see stars at 75 percent to one side but 25 percent to the other. If there were some factor, such as the expansion of the fabric of the universe that allowed the outermost ring to expand at twice the speed of light, as some claim, and we were in the center (highly unlikely mathematically) we could see stars to within 25 percent of the age. It would have to be an expansion at 8 times the speed of light at a minimum for us to see stars around 5 percent the age of the universe. We would also have to be at the point of the Big Bang, or we would see a difference from one direction to another. Scientists keep repeating thet even the farthest reaches of the universe are the same to every direction. We can see very young stars (5 percent or 14.5 billion years ago, if the universe was created 15 billion years ago. This indicates we are not seeing the outer edge of the universe. It colud be twice as big as what we see. It could be ten times as big. We have no outer limit to the size. If you find anything confusing (I do) write and ask. I do believe that we are in the end times. I strongly believe it could be within 20 years from the signs that Jesus wrote, so I did not want to put down your enthusiasm. I just doubt we can measure the size of the universe. Greentwiga |
