Isaiah 44:24 “Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, and the one who formed you from the womb, "I, the Lord, am the maker of all things, Stretching out the heavens by Myself And spreading out the earth all alone.” (plus 11 other OT passages declaring this stretching) Source: Answers in Genesis "In 1917, Willem de Sitter used Einstein's equations to predict the discovery of an expanding universe . In a letter from Albert Einstein to astronomer Willem de Sitter, he complained that the expanding-universe theory implied a moment of creation : “To admit such possibilities seems senseless to me,” NYT Lemaitre, Einstein & Hubble The Catholic priest Georges Lemaître independently proposed the idea of an expanding universe based on Einstein's theory of general relativity in 1927, two years before Edwin Hubble's observations confirmed it. It was consistent  with his interpretation of scripture .  Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the h

When a massive star reaches the end of its life, it explodes in a supernova, releasing a tremendous amount of energy and scattering the heavier elements it created throughout the interstellar medium. These elements, like carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and iron, are crucial for the formation of planets, moons, and ultimately, life as we know it. The Delicate Dance: The distribution of these elements and radiation after a supernova explosion plays a critical role in determining the conditions suitable for life to arise. Planets too close to the blast might be bathed in lethal radiation, while those too far might not receive enough essential elements. Finding the Goldilocks Zone: Our solar system is believed to be positioned in a " Goldilocks zone " around a relatively quiet star. This means it's not too close to the galactic core, where supernovae are more frequent, and not too far out, where heavier elements are scarce. Additionally, the early solar system was lik
