The Stars of Heaven Confirm Biblical Creation???Answers in Genesis
A couple of days back, Answers in Genesis posted on the web an informative article by Dr. Jason Lisle, “The Stars of the Heaven Confirm Biblical Creation.” Dr. Lisle introduces his article by noting “Most universities teach that stars formed from collapsing clouds of hydrogen gas billions of years ago and that stars continue to form today. Most people are unaware that there are serious scientific problems with such notions. A careful examination of the evidence confirms that stars are not billions of years old. The properties of stars do not suggest an evolutionary origin; rather, they reveal the power and majesty of the Lord” (this article initially appeared in volume 2, number 4 of the Answers Magazine).
In this brief article, Dr. Lisle discusses on a semi-technical level some of the basic properties of stars (such as their basic composition of hydrogen and helium, heat, brightness, etc.), problems for stars forming spontaneously under routine circumstances, and what the Bible says about the stars. After his helpful survey, he concludes: “The properties of stars confirm that biblical history is true. Stars differ in glory, just as the Bible teaches. Secular models of star formation are riddled with theoretical difficulties, and we have yet to see a star form spontaneously. Blue stars cannot last billions of years, yet they are common in spiral galaxies, confirming that these galaxies are young. Stars are a heavenly reminder that the universe was supernaturally created, just as the Bible declares!” To read this helpful article, go to “The Stars of Heaven Confirm Biblical Creation - Answers in Genesis.”
