It was early morning on July 16,
1945, at the Alamogordo proving
00:00:32.66\00:00:38.33
grounds near
White Sands, New Mexico.
00:00:38.36\00:00:40.58
A select group of atomic
scientists and U.S. military
00:00:40.61\00:00:44.36
personnel had gathered.
00:00:44.39\00:00:45.70
On a tower in the distance was a
secret, untested nuclear device,
00:00:45.73\00:00:50.55
code named Trinity.
00:00:50.58\00:00:52.23
The countdown begins, and
then the button was pushed...
00:00:52.26\00:00:56.51
In a flash of light the nuclear
age came bursting on the scene.
00:00:59.89\00:01:03.76
American had won the race to
unleash the destructive power of
00:01:03.79\00:01:07.73
the atom.
00:01:07.76\00:01:08.73
It was clear this
power was awesome-too awesome
00:01:08.74\00:01:11.41
to remain untamed.
00:01:11.44\00:01:12.96
So began the quest of science
to harness that power for peace,
00:01:12.99\00:01:16.99
while others feared it
would lead to another war
00:01:17.02\00:01:19.97
more destructive than any
since the beginning of time.
00:01:20.00\00:01:22.96
The beginning of time.
00:01:22.99\00:01:24.89
The beginning of time for man.
00:01:24.92\00:01:26.55
The beginning of
time for the universe.
00:01:26.58\00:01:28.71
How did it all begin?
00:01:28.74\00:01:30.56
What keeps the awesome power
of the atom in check until it
00:01:30.59\00:01:34.53
bursts forth in those
uncontrolled nuclear reactions?
00:01:34.56\00:01:38.17
Scientists have deciphered
the laws that govern them,
00:01:38.20\00:01:41.24
but who made the laws?
00:01:41.27\00:01:42.48
Who made the atoms?
00:01:42.51\00:01:43.99
And who made the
earth, sun, moon, and stars?
00:01:44.02\00:01:48.09
Hi, I'm Don Mackintosh, and in
this program we'll be exploring
00:01:48.12\00:01:52.32
the scientific mysteries of the
universe, and the controversy
00:01:52.35\00:01:55.80
over how it came to be.
00:01:55.83\00:01:57.28
But first, on Christmas Eve in
1968, the Apollo 8 Astronauts,
00:01:57.31\00:02:03.21
Anders, Lovell, and Bormann,
gave an impressive answer
00:02:03.24\00:02:06.94
to the question of who
made the heavens and the earth,
00:02:06.97\00:02:09.75
when they relayed a special
message back to Earth from their
00:02:09.78\00:02:12.85
orbit around the moon.
00:02:12.88\00:02:14.23
In the beginning God created
the heaven and the earth.
00:02:14.26\00:02:18.81
And the earth was
without form, and void;
00:02:18.84\00:02:22.63
and darkness was
upon the face of the deep.
00:02:22.66\00:02:25.60
And the spirit of God moved
upon the face of the waters.
00:02:25.63\00:02:29.85
And God said, Let there be
light: and there was light.
00:02:29.88\00:02:35.46
And God saw the light, that
it was good: and God divided
00:02:35.49\00:02:40.52
the light from the darkness.
00:02:40.55\00:02:41.82
And God called the
light Day, and the darkness
00:02:41.85\00:02:45.87
he called night.
00:02:45.90\00:02:46.87
And the evening and the
morning were the first day.
00:02:46.88\00:02:50.25
And God said, Let there be
a firmament in the midst of
00:02:50.28\00:02:53.59
the waters, and let it divide
the waters from the waters.
00:02:53.62\00:02:57.54
And God made the firmament,
and divided the waters
00:02:57.57\00:03:01.88
which were under the firmament
from the waters which were above
00:03:01.91\00:03:04.83
the firmament; and it was so.
00:03:04.86\00:03:07.32
And God called
the firmament Heaven.
00:03:07.35\00:03:09.95
and the evening and the
morning were the second day.
00:03:09.98\00:03:13.61
And God said, Let the waters
under the heaven be gathered
00:03:13.64\00:03:17.15
together unto one place,
and let the dry land appear:
00:03:17.18\00:03:21.25
and it was so.
00:03:21.28\00:03:22.30
And God called the dry
land Earth; and the gathering
00:03:22.33\00:03:27.12
together of the
waters called He Seas:
00:03:27.15\00:03:29.83
and God saw that it was good.
00:03:29.86\00:03:32.58
And from the crew of Apollo
8, we close with good night,
00:03:32.61\00:03:38.18
good luck, a Merry Christmas,
and God bless all of you-
00:03:38.21\00:03:43.47
all of you on this good Earth.
00:03:43.50\00:03:45.77
The world was stunned!
00:03:45.80\00:03:48.47
Like a voice from the heavens,
it was reminded of the Creator's
00:03:48.50\00:03:52.48
claim in Genesis that He
had done it all in six days.
00:03:52.51\00:03:56.25
But most modern scientists long
ago rejected the six literal
00:03:56.28\00:04:00.86
days of creation in favor of
Big Bang's theory of geologic,
00:04:00.89\00:04:05.05
and cosmic evolution
over six long, geologic
00:04:05.08\00:04:08.99
and cosmic periods.
00:04:09.02\00:04:10.69
They claim it's one of
science's greatest achievements
00:04:10.72\00:04:14.25
of all time.
00:04:14.28\00:04:15.25
But two U.S. scientists,
Dr. Robert Gentry, and his son
00:04:15.26\00:04:19.67
and associate, Dr. David Gentry,
now prepare to show why it's
00:04:19.70\00:04:23.74
actually scientists'
greatest blunder, not it's
00:04:23.77\00:04:27.07
greatest achievement.
00:04:27.10\00:04:28.21
In particular, instead of
the universe being the same
00:04:28.24\00:04:31.77
everywhere, which is
Big Bang's key assumption,
00:04:31.80\00:04:34.81
they have discovered
astronomical proof the universe
00:04:34.84\00:04:38.35
has a nearby center.
00:04:38.38\00:04:40.00
They believe this startling
discovery may yet attract
00:04:40.03\00:04:43.83
the interest of people of all
religious persuasions, and even
00:04:43.86\00:04:47.11
those who have none, for they
believe it points to the Great
00:04:47.14\00:04:50.14
White Throne; the
celestial dwelling place
00:04:50.17\00:04:53.23
of the God of Genesis, the same
God who gave the literal seven
00:04:53.26\00:04:57.75
day creation commandment
to Moses on Mount Sinai.
00:04:57.78\00:05:01.05
With this background
Dr's. Robert and David Gentry
00:05:01.08\00:05:04.57
begin to unfold the exciting
saga behind their discoveries.
00:05:04.60\00:05:08.59
The excitement really begins
by recognizing that the Hubble
00:05:11.00\00:05:14.57
Space Telescope, and other NASA
telescopes, have photographed
00:05:14.60\00:05:18.63
some truly amazing celestial
objects within our universe.
00:05:18.66\00:05:22.27
This is a very long
exposure of our galaxy as seen
00:05:23.33\00:05:26.93
in the night sky.
00:05:26.96\00:05:28.32
We see it here from inside,
looking edge on through its disk
00:05:28.35\00:05:32.41
of billions of stars, interlaced
with vast clouds of dust and gas
00:05:32.44\00:05:36.93
hundreds of thousands
of light years in size.
00:05:36.96\00:05:39.84
And this is a super nova,
exhibiting what astronomers have
00:05:39.87\00:05:43.95
called The Glowing Eye.
00:05:43.98\00:05:45.78
Then we have NGC
49's cosmic blast.
00:05:47.90\00:05:51.92
And then the end of planetary
nebula's surrounding the dying
00:05:53.77\00:05:58.16
sun-like star Mensal 3.
00:05:58.19\00:06:00.48
Another exploding star
caused the Eskimo nebula.
00:06:00.51\00:06:05.00
It's about 5,000 light years
from Earth, in the constellation
00:06:05.03\00:06:09.09
Gemini, a complex of
mixed nebulosity surrounding the
00:06:09.12\00:06:13.63
triple star Rho Ophiuchus,
and the yellow giant Antares.
00:06:13.66\00:06:19.50
And here's the amazing NGC 346
in the small magellatic cloud
00:06:19.53\00:06:24.98
Another exploding star
3,000 light years away in the
00:06:25.01\00:06:28.99
constellation Draco
created the Cat's Eye nebula.
00:06:29.02\00:06:32.20
V838 Monocerotis is from a
burst of light traveling outward
00:06:32.23\00:06:38.55
and illuminating shelves of
gas and dust ejected from the
00:06:38.58\00:06:42.44
central star and has
been likened to Van Gough's
00:06:42.47\00:06:45.65
Starry Night.
00:06:45.68\00:06:46.79
And here are the fabulously
exotic pillars of creation
00:06:49.16\00:06:52.60
in the Eagle nebula.
00:06:52.63\00:06:54.10
They're actually spires
of rarified gas and dust
00:06:54.13\00:06:58.78
hundreds of light-years long.
00:06:58.81\00:07:00.28
And here's a close-up of
the beautiful Orion nebula
00:07:01.76\00:07:05.17
that we'll see more of later on.
00:07:05.20\00:07:07.21
These two closely spaced
galaxies, nicknamed The Mice,
00:07:07.24\00:07:11.93
are 300,000,000
light-years away in the
00:07:11.96\00:07:14.22
constellation Coma Berenices.
00:07:14.25\00:07:17.37
The variety of shapes,
and the sizes of galaxies,
00:07:17.40\00:07:20.87
is unbelievable.
00:07:20.90\00:07:22.29
Take, for example,
the Bard Spiral NGC 1300,
00:07:22.32\00:07:26.96
and then the Star Burst Galaxy.
00:07:28.64\00:07:30.62
Here we have Hoag's
object strange Ring Galaxy.
00:07:33.84\00:07:37.85
And here is the Antenna Galaxy
showing the interaction of two
00:07:40.21\00:07:43.99
spiral galaxies.
00:07:44.02\00:07:45.28
Galaxies are so huge,
and their distances so great,
00:07:45.31\00:07:50.24
that we can hardly
comprehend their existence.
00:07:50.27\00:07:52.86
The beauty and majesty of
all these celestial wonders
00:07:52.89\00:07:56.03
captures the imagination.
00:07:56.06\00:07:57.61
Take a look at the exquisite
detail of these astronomically
00:07:58.16\00:08:01.57
huge lanes of gas and dust
that form a belt around the
00:08:01.60\00:08:05.56
Sombrero Galaxy.
00:08:05.59\00:08:07.19
Surely all these galaxies
are telling us something of
00:08:08.60\00:08:11.83
vast importance.
00:08:11.86\00:08:13.20
To see what it is, we turn
to this special Hubble Space
00:08:15.61\00:08:18.49
Telescope photo that took
11 days, or 1 million seconds
00:08:18.52\00:08:21.72
to expose in 2003 as the
telescope orbited the Earth.
00:08:21.75\00:08:25.24
It shows several thousand
galaxies in a little speck of
00:08:25.27\00:08:28.36
space the size of a pinhead.
00:08:28.39\00:08:29.95
It's aptly named the
Hubble Ultra Deep Field,
00:08:29.98\00:08:33.25
because it recorded galaxies
more distant than any ever seen
00:08:33.28\00:08:36.53
before, and leads to the
estimate that throughout the
00:08:36.56\00:08:39.17
cosmos there are over several
hundred billion galaxies,
00:08:39.20\00:08:42.18
each with over
100 billion stars.
00:08:42.21\00:08:44.63
Many small green circles
have been now been drawn on this
00:08:44.66\00:08:47.61
image, each one containing the
most distant galaxies ever seen,
00:08:47.64\00:08:51.41
but when magnified we
see that all of them are red.
00:08:51.44\00:08:54.40
Why?
00:08:54.43\00:08:55.47
We'll focus on this shortly.
00:08:55.50\00:08:57.26
For now we know that these
distant galaxies must reach
00:08:57.29\00:09:00.05
almost to the edge
of the visible universe.
00:09:00.08\00:09:02.15
And because we see about
the same density of galaxies in
00:09:02.18\00:09:05.06
every direction that
the telescope is pointed,
00:09:05.09\00:09:06.88
we say this is evidence that
our universe does have a center,
00:09:06.91\00:09:10.90
which is astronomically nearby.
00:09:10.93\00:09:12.80
But this is just the opposite
of what Hubble and other
00:09:12.83\00:09:15.65
astronomers concluded when
interpreting his famous red
00:09:15.68\00:09:18.45
shift discovery.
00:09:18.48\00:09:19.62
So which is correct?
00:09:19.65\00:09:21.02
To find the answer we flash back
in time to the early part of the
00:09:22.08\00:09:24.97
20th Century.
00:09:25.00\00:09:25.97
By then astronomers, like Edwin
Hubble, knew that the Doppler
00:09:25.98\00:09:29.22
Effect could cause spectral
line sifts due to the relative
00:09:29.25\00:09:32.06
motion of the
source and observer.
00:09:32.09\00:09:33.87
A shift toward the blue end
of the light spectrum, called a
00:09:33.90\00:09:36.96
blue shift, was interpreted
as motion toward the Earth.
00:09:36.99\00:09:40.12
A shift toward the red
end, called a red shift,
00:09:40.15\00:09:42.99
was interpreted as
motion away from the Earth.
00:09:43.02\00:09:45.70
Here's a real
astronomical illustration of
00:09:45.73\00:09:48.21
the Doppler Effect.
00:09:48.24\00:09:49.21
The gasses swirling
around a distant galactic disk,
00:09:49.22\00:09:52.40
that are moving toward
Earth, produce a blue shift.
00:09:52.43\00:09:55.07
Those moving away
produce a red shift.
00:09:55.10\00:09:58.03
It was at Mount Wilson
Observatory in the 1920's that
00:10:08.93\00:10:12.13
Hubble utilized its new 100 inch
Reflector, the largest telescope
00:10:12.16\00:10:15.89
of that day, to discover
that light arriving from distant
00:10:15.92\00:10:18.64
galaxies was red
shifted in an orderly way.
00:10:18.67\00:10:21.85
In 1929 he
published his findings.
00:10:21.88\00:10:24.51
The greater the red shift, the
greater the distance a galaxy
00:10:24.54\00:10:27.99
was from the Earth.
00:10:28.02\00:10:29.00
This was a monumental discovery,
as shown in this graphic,
00:10:29.03\00:10:32.24
that modern
astronomy has confirmed.
00:10:32.27\00:10:34.75
It was also very puzzling.
00:10:34.78\00:10:36.52
Hubble, and other astronomers,
had observed red shifts of
00:10:36.55\00:10:39.55
different galaxies, but didn't
recognize the systematic trends.
00:10:39.58\00:10:43.02
Previously the universe
was thought to be static
00:10:43.05\00:10:45.45
and unchanging.
00:10:45.48\00:10:46.54
Now it was shown to have
an unexpected kind of order.
00:10:46.57\00:10:49.81
This animation illustrates
how the red shift increases as a
00:10:50.49\00:10:54.03
galaxy moves further
and further from the Earth.
00:10:54.06\00:10:56.65
The preeminent question was, and
still is, what assumption should
00:10:56.68\00:11:01.58
be used to
interpret Hubble's discovery?
00:11:01.61\00:11:04.02
Before discussing Hubble's
assumptions, and the conclusions
00:11:08.03\00:11:11.35
he drew, we first determined
the outcome if the Doppler
00:11:11.38\00:11:14.57
interpretation is used.
00:11:14.60\00:11:15.86
In that case, these graphics
clearly show that galaxies both
00:11:15.89\00:11:19.99
far and near are receding
from us, spreading out from us,
00:11:20.02\00:11:23.76
if you please, in
an orderly manner.
00:11:23.79\00:11:26.12
The spiracle symmetry of
the galactic recession from our
00:11:26.15\00:11:29.91
observation point is,
again, extraordinary evidence
00:11:29.94\00:11:32.89
of the existence of a
nearby center of the universe.
00:11:32.92\00:11:36.56
Why, then, didn't
Hubble report this discovery
00:11:36.59\00:11:39.94
over 75 years ago?
00:11:39.97\00:11:41.72
The answer is in his 1937
book, The Observational Approach
00:11:41.75\00:11:46.42
to Cosmology.
00:11:46.45\00:11:47.57
On page 51 he stated,
00:11:49.78\00:11:56.25
On page 59 he spoke of ways,
00:11:59.01\00:12:02.64
which was also said to be
00:12:04.46\00:12:05.78
and on page 54 he emphasized
00:12:05.81\00:12:08.04
It's really obvious then
that Hubble engaged himself
00:12:19.28\00:12:22.47
in the most extraordinary
denial of fact in all the
00:12:22.50\00:12:25.57
history of science in his
attempt to get rid of the center
00:12:25.60\00:12:28.54
and demand the
universe be everywhere the same.
00:12:28.57\00:12:31.79
These three graphics
show, however, this could not be
00:12:31.82\00:12:36.30
accomplished using
the Doppler assumption.
00:12:36.33\00:12:38.55
If, for example, Observer 1 sees
red shifts of galaxies moving
00:12:38.58\00:12:43.62
away from his position, and
a distant observer, number 2,
00:12:43.65\00:12:47.51
sees red shifts of galaxies
moving away from his position
00:12:47.54\00:12:50.77
then each would observe a
universe full of blue shifting
00:12:50.80\00:12:55.31
galaxies mixed in uniformly
with red shifted galaxies.
00:12:55.34\00:12:59.72
But this is not observed,
so it's impossible to get rid
00:12:59.75\00:13:03.73
of the center using the Doppler
interpretation of Hubble's
00:13:03.76\00:13:06.99
red shift discovery.
00:13:07.02\00:13:08.23
So how did Hubble and all
of those astronomers since then
00:13:08.26\00:13:13.08
evade it as they did by adopting
a new untested assumption about
00:13:13.11\00:13:18.11
a red shift called
space time expansion?
00:13:18.14\00:13:21.44
As this illustration shows,
space time expansion assumedly
00:13:21.47\00:13:26.72
causes light to be red-shifted
as it travels across the
00:13:26.75\00:13:29.54
universe, independent
of the Doppler effect.
00:13:29.57\00:13:32.74
It was postulated to
cause galaxies to move apart and
00:13:32.77\00:13:36.53
wavelengths of light to
expand as space itself expanded.
00:13:36.56\00:13:40.49
This idea was adopted over 70
years ago, but remained untested
00:13:40.52\00:13:45.92
until David and I did so
and found proof it has always
00:13:45.95\00:13:49.69
been wrong.
00:13:49.72\00:13:50.82
The reason?
00:13:50.85\00:13:51.82
Light wavelength expansion
means the loss of energy.
00:13:51.83\00:13:54.67
The total nonconservation
of energy loss of all the light
00:13:54.70\00:13:58.22
particles in the universe,
due to this imaginary process,
00:13:58.25\00:14:01.52
equals over 30 million
times the mass of the universe.
00:14:01.55\00:14:05.20
Details of this are
available on the internet report
00:14:05.23\00:14:08.18
Galaxy motion is also assumed to
be magically affected somehow,
00:14:18.14\00:14:23.59
causing each galaxy to move
away from every other galaxy,
00:14:23.62\00:14:27.31
as space itself expands,
and in this way make it appear
00:14:27.34\00:14:31.53
the universe is
everywhere the same.
00:14:31.56\00:14:34.09
But it's easy to show it's
the greatest scientific blunder
00:14:34.12\00:14:38.31
of all time.
00:14:38.34\00:14:39.65
All we have to do is examine
what three of the greatest
00:14:39.68\00:14:43.14
authorities on the big-bang say
when trying to convince their
00:14:43.17\00:14:47.22
physics graduate
students that it is genuine.
00:14:47.25\00:14:50.61
Here is the balloon double
speak illustration that Misner,
00:16:24.95\00:16:29.17
Thorne, and Wheeler's book uses
to intimidate their graduate
00:16:29.20\00:16:32.59
students to accept expansion.
00:16:32.62\00:16:34.53
But the simple example of
galaxies projected on screens
00:16:34.56\00:16:39.46
at increasing distances from a
projector reveals the fatal flaw
00:16:39.49\00:16:44.17
in their illustration.
00:16:44.20\00:16:45.54
They show that
expansion, if it ever existed,
00:16:45.57\00:16:49.87
would cause galaxies to expand
in size as well as separate
00:16:49.90\00:16:54.84
from each other.
00:16:54.87\00:16:55.84
Here's another illustration
proving the same point, namely
00:16:55.85\00:17:01.15
if expansion had ever existed
galaxies would have expanded
00:17:01.18\00:17:05.53
into smithereens.
00:17:05.56\00:17:07.09
Obviously no galaxies would ever
have formed in the first place.
00:17:07.12\00:17:12.03
But as we saw earlier,
the universe is full of them,
00:17:12.06\00:17:15.99
more than a thousand, billion,
trillion, each one silently
00:17:16.02\00:17:20.42
testifying that the
space-time expansion hypothesis
00:17:20.45\00:17:23.26
has always been an imaginary
effect, and hence that big-bang
00:17:23.29\00:17:27.70
has always been
nothing more than a big fizzle,
00:17:27.73\00:17:30.01
just a figment of the
imagination of those who vainly
00:17:30.04\00:17:33.08
tried to wipe the remembrance
of God from His universe.
00:17:33.11\00:17:36.73
While the big-bang collapse is
under it's own contradictions,
00:17:36.76\00:17:40.33
we now begin to
understand the true significance
00:17:40.36\00:17:43.29
of Hubble's discovery.
00:17:43.32\00:17:44.29
There really is a nearby center
of the universe, and this cosmic
00:17:44.30\00:17:49.00
center of the universe
illustration shows how galaxies
00:17:49.03\00:17:51.79
diminish in size, and increase
in red-shift as they move
00:17:51.82\00:17:56.42
further from the center.
00:17:56.95\00:17:57.92
So what is the
significance of the center?
00:17:57.93\00:18:01.06
What does it all mean?
00:18:01.09\00:18:02.86
In Isaiah 40:21 the Bible
speaks of God spreading out the
00:18:02.89\00:18:08.81
heavens, an obvious reference
to the expansion of the universe
00:18:08.84\00:18:12.26
we've been discussing.
00:18:12.29\00:18:13.52
Also obvious is that
their outward motion,
00:18:13.55\00:18:16.31
their spreading out, implies
there is a point of origin,
00:18:16.34\00:18:20.10
a definite location from which
they are spreading out from.
00:18:20.13\00:18:23.49
Which point could that be?
00:18:23.52\00:18:25.50
In Psalm 103:19 the Bible
says, "Thy throne, Oh Lord,
00:18:25.53\00:18:31.68
is established in the heavens,"
which we also identify with the
00:18:31.71\00:18:36.20
location unto the Great White
Throne described in Rev. 20:11.
00:18:36.23\00:18:40.21
It's just that simple.
00:18:40.24\00:18:42.10
In fact, this graphic
briefly illustrates the new
00:18:42.13\00:18:45.79
cosmic model.
00:18:45.82\00:18:46.82
In contrast, visible galaxies
receding from the nearby center
00:18:46.85\00:18:51.59
with our recently discovered
outer shell of galaxies
00:18:51.62\00:18:55.31
that encloses
the visible universe.
00:18:55.34\00:18:58.26
Light from the outer galaxies
cannot be seen by telescopes
00:18:58.29\00:19:01.89
because vacuum gravity
has shifted it down to become
00:19:01.92\00:19:05.50
the well-known
cosmic microwave radiation.
00:19:05.53\00:19:09.27
My December 2004 article in
Perspectives and Science and
00:19:09.30\00:19:13.80
Christian Faith identifies the
galaxies in the visible universe
00:19:13.83\00:19:17.79
as originating in the Genesis
creation, while those in the
00:19:17.82\00:19:22.11
outer shell are ascribed to
a separate earlier creation.
00:19:22.14\00:19:25.79
This fits with Job 38:7 which
shows that intelligent beings
00:19:25.82\00:19:30.92
existed prior to
the Genesis creation.
00:19:30.95\00:19:33.67
With this background we will now
see why the nearby throne has
00:19:33.70\00:19:38.66
special relevance to the
Genesis six day creation.
00:19:38.69\00:19:42.84
To us the logical conclusion
is that God deliberately created
00:19:42.87\00:19:47.92
the universe so as to reveal
that His throne, the great
00:19:47.95\00:19:52.38
command center of the universe,
is located so astronomically
00:19:52.41\00:19:56.14
nearby that it could be
within our own Milky Way Galaxy.
00:19:56.17\00:19:59.86
On this basis, we here on
planet Earth are definitely in a
00:19:59.89\00:20:05.31
privileged
position in the universe.
00:20:05.34\00:20:07.04
It is reasonable that Earth
should occupy a special place
00:20:07.07\00:20:10.96
in the cosmos because the
Creator Himself lived here for
00:20:10.99\00:20:15.08
over 30 years.
00:20:15.11\00:20:16.59
We thus believe God is now using
the heavens to confront humanity
00:20:16.62\00:20:22.25
with astronomical proof that
He is the Creator of the heavens
00:20:22.28\00:20:26.41
and the Earth.
00:20:26.44\00:20:27.64
Moreover, this view exactly
fits with our earlier scientific
00:20:27.67\00:20:31.25
discoveries of Earth's rapid
creation and young age, as shown
00:20:31.28\00:20:36.25
on our earlier videos,
titled Fingerprints of Creation,
00:20:36.28\00:20:40.19
and The Young Age of
the Earth, and my book,
00:20:40.22\00:20:44.38
Creation's Tiny Mystery.
00:20:44.41\00:20:46.47
More information on these
resources is available at:
00:20:46.50\00:20:50.38
The scientific community
was informed of the downfall
00:20:55.81\00:21:00.29
of the big-bang, the discovery
of the center of the universe,
00:21:00.32\00:21:03.41
and its identification
with The Great White Throne,
00:21:03.44\00:21:06.39
plus many other features of
the universe in this poster we
00:21:06.42\00:21:09.70
presented at the April
2005 American Physical Society
00:21:09.73\00:21:14.07
meeting in Tampa.
00:21:14.10\00:21:15.59
We have already discussed
the meaning of a number
00:21:15.62\00:21:18.11
of its graphics.
00:21:18.14\00:21:19.11
It can be viewed in its
entirety at this APS website:
00:21:19.12\00:21:22.47
Along with this, it's
fascinating to think about what
00:21:27.51\00:21:30.73
we would find if we were to
travel to the throne itself.
00:21:30.76\00:21:33.71
So let's take a trip there
right now through the magic
00:21:33.74\00:21:37.17
of computer animation, and as we
prepare to leave Earth's orbit
00:21:37.20\00:21:41.85
We see the night sky coming into
view with its millions of city
00:21:41.88\00:21:45.94
lights far below.
00:21:45.97\00:21:47.11
The sun blazes into view, along
with the constellation of Orion,
00:21:47.14\00:21:53.10
and we begin to accelerate,
passing our sun at ten times
00:21:53.13\00:21:57.49
the speed of light.
00:21:57.52\00:21:59.34
Years ago I suggested,
in a scientific publication,
00:21:59.37\00:22:02.33
that the Orion nebula was the
space corridor to the throne.
00:22:02.36\00:22:06.85
And now as we approach the stars
making up the constellation,
00:22:06.88\00:22:10.45
each one a different distance
from Earth, we're going over
00:22:10.48\00:22:14.67
one million times
the speed of light.
00:22:14.70\00:22:19.66
As the stars of Orion pass
behind us, the Orion nebula,
00:22:19.69\00:22:24.57
fifteen hundred light years away
from Earth, looms larger and
00:22:24.60\00:22:28.52
larger as we begin our
deceleration, this nebula is a
00:22:28.55\00:22:32.59
a vast cloud of
rarified gasses and dust
00:22:32.62\00:22:35.71
one hundred light years across.
00:22:35.74\00:22:38.28
It is illuminated, and being
boiled away, by this handful
00:22:38.31\00:22:43.49
of very bright, and very
hot, blue-white giant stars
00:22:43.52\00:22:47.42
called the trapezium.
00:22:47.45\00:22:49.68
Hundreds of smaller,
sun-like, stars form a cluster
00:22:49.71\00:22:53.64
around them.
00:22:53.67\00:22:58.65
As we pass through the cloud,
and emerge on the other side,
00:22:58.68\00:23:02.23
we see heaven itself, and
the throne of God, described
00:23:02.26\00:23:06.61
in Revelation 21:16 as being a
glorious city 350 miles square.
00:23:06.64\00:23:13.05
Verses 19 and 20 tell us its
foundation is made of 12 layers
00:23:13.08\00:23:18.18
of precious gemstones, and
surrounded by a 250 foot high
00:23:18.21\00:23:22.66
wall containing 12
gates, 3 on each side.
00:23:22.69\00:23:26.91
As we enter through one of the
huge pearl gates described in
00:23:26.94\00:23:30.84
verse 21, we see within
the city, on top of its huge
00:23:30.87\00:23:35.05
mountain, spoken of in Isaiah
14:13 and Revelation 14:1,
00:23:35.08\00:23:39.98
the indescribably glorious and
holy throne room of God pictured
00:23:40.01\00:23:44.09
in Revelation 4.
00:23:44.12\00:23:45.42
We reverently enter and
approach closer to His throne,
00:23:45.45\00:23:50.18
and there before us,
according to Hebrews 8:1-6
00:23:50.21\00:23:54.67
and Revelation 11:19, is
the same fourth commandment
00:23:54.70\00:23:58.79
of the ten given to Moses on
Mount Sinai, which tells us of
00:23:58.82\00:24:02.92
God creating the
visible universe in six days,
00:24:02.95\00:24:06.29
and resting on the
seventh-day Sabbath.
00:24:06.32\00:24:08.57
Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:18
that it has never been changed,
00:24:08.60\00:24:14.94
and that He is there now
representing us before God.
00:24:14.97\00:24:27.30
The fact that God created the
universe to especially point to
00:24:27.33\00:24:30.84
His throne, and His seventh-day
creation commandment, tells us
00:24:30.87\00:24:35.23
it is just as valid
now as when given in Eden.
00:24:35.26\00:24:38.76
It will be of spectacular
importance as the end time
00:24:38.79\00:24:41.97
events continue
to unfold before us.
00:24:42.00\00:24:44.33
How could it be otherwise when
we see the first angel of the
00:24:44.36\00:24:48.56
three in Revelation 14
commanding, with a loud voice,
00:24:48.59\00:24:52.29
in verses 6 and 7, for everyone
to worship Him that made heaven
00:24:52.32\00:24:56.81
and earth, and the sea,
and the fountains of waters?
00:24:56.84\00:25:00.50
We believe the timing of this
discovery, that the universe
00:25:00.53\00:25:03.76
really does have a nearby
center, may mean God arranged
00:25:03.79\00:25:07.38
all this to come to world
attention before the greatest
00:25:07.41\00:25:10.66
and most spectacular event
of all time, the second coming
00:25:10.69\00:25:14.70
of Christ in the
clouds of heaven.
00:25:14.73\00:25:18.88
As you can see, He is at the
throne ministering as our great
00:25:18.91\00:25:22.22
high priest, as described in the
book of Hebrews, but very soon
00:25:22.25\00:25:26.04
He will return.
00:25:26.07\00:25:27.15
Retracing our steps now, Jesus
comes out of the Most Holy Place
00:25:27.18\00:25:56.27
The angels surround Him forming
a vast cloud like the one
00:25:56.30\00:25:59.73
described in Acts 1 verse 9 that
the disciples saw when Jesus was
00:25:59.76\00:26:03.37
was taken back to His throne
at His ascension from earth
00:26:03.40\00:26:06.40
2,000 years ago.
00:26:06.43\00:26:18.97
And just like Revelation
1:7 says, as He enters the solar
00:26:19.00\00:26:22.86
system, every person on
earth will be able to see Him
00:26:22.89\00:26:25.75
approach, at first like a
dark storm cloud growing larger
00:26:25.78\00:26:29.67
and brighter until, according to
Revelation 6:14, the atmosphere
00:26:29.70\00:26:34.87
rips apart, and
suddenly there He is!
00:26:34.90\00:26:37.81
His brightness, like pure
energy, consumes all who turned
00:26:37.84\00:26:41.35
against Him and rebelled.
00:26:41.38\00:26:42.54
Yet we who are
waiting for Him, will He save
00:26:42.57\00:26:45.81
from that destruction.
00:26:45.84\00:26:51.94
That's what it's all about!
00:26:51.97\00:26:53.33
The Lord is trying to help
us prepare for this great and
00:26:53.36\00:26:56.22
glorious event.
00:26:56.25\00:26:57.28
Lastly believing, as we do, that
God intends to use the great
00:27:03.80\00:27:09.05
works of creation presented
in this program, as well as the
00:27:09.08\00:27:12.62
saga behind these discoveries,
to awaken a great many to a sure
