YEC Review

“Gravity waves are a part of Einstein’s general theory of relativity. Einstein had predicted the existence of gravity waves a century ago. Over the years, the predictions of general relativity have been tested repeatedly, and it is one of the best-supported theories in the history of science. LIGO consists of twin systems, one near Livingston, Louisiana, and the other on the Hanford Site in the State of Washington. LIGO detectors picked up the same signal in an event that lasted about a quarter of a second. The only difference in the two detections was that they were seven milliseconds apart in time. The time delay helped determine the direction in space where the ripple came from. (Note: this is due to the gravity waves traveling at the speed of light between the LIGO receivers). Additional information gleaned from the data yielded a redshift for the waves that correspond to a distance of about 1.3 billion light-years for the black hole merger. As an astronomer

Psalms 90 : (written by Moses before Genesis) “ Before the mountains were born Or You gave birth to the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it passes by, Or as a watch in the night.” Some recent Young Earth Creationists (YEC) posit that stars were created on Genesis Day 4 of creation as described in the Bible, using the 24-hour day interpretation. This implies that we shouldn't expect to find stars actively forming in the universe today . However, the nebular hypothesis , which proposes that stars and planets form from the gravitational collapse of giant clouds of gas and dust, is fully supported by scientific evidence.  Answers in Genesis (AiG) criticizes the nebular hypothesis over 700 times on their website. Their claims haven't been accepted by the scientific community as well as many many other Christians. On their website an article has the below illustration and
