“As these neutron stars spiraled together, they emitted gravitational waves that were detectable for about 100 seconds; when they collided, a flash of light in the form of gamma rays was emitted and seen on Earth about two seconds after the gravitational waves .” The Anisotropic Synchrony Convention (ASC) is a proposed solution to the " distant starlight problem" encountered in young-earth creationism. It was proposed by Dr Jason Lisles of Answers in Genesis. This problem arises from the apparent contradiction between the young earth biblical age of the universe (thousands of years) and the vast distances we observe through telescopes (billions of light-years). The ASC proposes that the speed of light is not constant in all directions, but rather travels instantly towards the observer, explaining how we see light from seemingly young stars. However, recent observations of neutron star mergers present a significant challenge to the ASC.  In 2017, the LIGO and ...

Figure from AiG “In 1917, Willem de Sitter used Einstein's general relativity 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,” -Einstein, NYT Declaring God's Stretching of the Heavens: Verses with the Qal Active Participle (Continual Stretching): Job 9:8: This verse describes God as "stretching out the heavens alone," emphasizing His singular power and ongoing action in maintaining the universe.
