Genesis & The Big-Bang Theory

by Marshall Beeber

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
