1. A possible
explanation for the harmony of the Biblical Genesis account of
creation and the modern cosmological Big-Bang Theory has been described in
an editorial in Buzzle.com. See the link and portion of the article
below:
The Standard Model – the Big-Bang hypothesis - is 100%
compatible to the Biblical narrative in the opening chapters of Genesis.
Time dilation and time stretching make it possible for the 6-day creation
period of Genesis to be the same as the eighteen billion year creation
period of the Standard Model. God's perception of time is different to our
perception of time. In Psalm 90:4 we read "A thousand years in Your eyes are
as a day that passes" and from Einstein's General theory of Relativity
(1916) we learn that gravity affects the space-time continuum, in other
words the changes in gravity affect the rate at which time passes. Time is
not absolute. Time is as flexible as the available differences in the force
of gravity, and the speed of motion across a boundary that separates the
observer from the observed. Relativistic time dilation, the difference in
perceived time, makes the six-day creation period of Genesis compatible with
the eighteen billion years creation period of Cosmology
