Many Christian leaders have defected, choosing to believe in evolution rather than taking the creation account in Genesis literally. Many think they are doing this for scientific reasons, if so, can they explain why any of these seven points are not absurd?
The New York Times 5/22/01: “Nevertheless, most cosmologists, including Dr. Guth and Dr. Linde, agree that the universe ultimately must come from somewhere, and that nothing is the leading candidate.”
AND
A scientist at www.big-bang-theory.com says, "Discoveries in astronomy and physics have shown beyond a reasonable doubt that our universe did in fact have a beginning. Prior to that moment there was nothing; during and after that moment there was something: our universe."
To Believe that the universe comes from nothing, is not being scientific. The real question is; is this a statement of faith or gullibility?
According to the theory of evolution, the big bang created a universe full of hydrogen. Through gravitational attraction the hydrogen evolved into the first generation of stars. This theory fails to recognize that it takes a celestial body several times larger than the earth to create a strong enough gravitational attraction for hydrogen.
A 2007 college textbook describes how stars are born.
Theoretically, stars are born from swirling clouds of hydrogen gas in the deep space between other stars. […] These clouds consist of random, swirling atoms of gases that have little gravitational attraction for one another because they have little mass. Complex motions of stars, however, can produce a shock wave that causes particles to move closer together and collide, making local compressions. Their mutual gravitational attraction then begins to pull them together into a cluster. (Bill W. Tillery Physical Science 7th edition)
Tillery does not explain how and what kind of complex motions stars can make, or how the first complex stars were born without this help. Without the preexistence of huge celestial bodies (stars), other stars cannot form from hydrogen anymore then the helium will stay bound together after you pop a balloon.
