Before There Was Light

Timothy Birdnow

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Now the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.

And God said, "Let there be light,” and there was light. And seeing that the light was good, God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light "day,” and the darkness He called "night.”

And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day

Just before the Big Bang launched the universe onto its ever-expanding course, physicists believe, there was another, more explosive phase of the early universe at play: cosmic inflation, which lasted less than a trillionth of a second. During this period, matter—a cold, homogeneous goop—inflated exponentially quickly before processes of the Big Bang took over to more slowly expand and diversify the infant universe.

Recent observations have independently supported theories for both the Big Bang and cosmic inflation. But the two processes are so radically different from each other that scientists have struggled to conceive of how one followed the other.

Now physicists at MIT, Kenyon College, and elsewhere have simulated in detail an intermediary phase of the early universe that may have bridged cosmic inflation with the Big Bang. This phase, known as "reheating," occurred at the end of cosmic inflation and involved processes that wrestled inflation's cold, uniform matter into the ultrahot, complex soup that was in place at the start of the Big Bang.

[...]

The theory of cosmic inflation, first proposed in the 1980s by MIT's Alan Guth, the V.F. Weisskopf Professor of Physics, predicts that the universe began as an extremely small speck of matter, possibly about a hundred-billionth the size of a proton. This speck was filled with ultra-high-energy matter, so energetic that the pressures within generated a repulsive gravitational force—the driving force behind inflation. Like a spark to a fuse, this gravitational force exploded the infant universe outward, at an ever-faster rate, inflating it to nearly an octillion times its original size (that's the number 1 followed by 26 zeroes), in less than a trillionth of a second.

Interesting; one of the big criticisms of the Book of Genesis by atheists is that the Bible says the Earth was formed BEFORE there was light. But what did the Bible mean? The Earth itself? No; it was "without form". What it meant was that there was a something there that was not what we know as the universe today. The universe came into existence when God said "let there be light".

Doesn't this sound like what is being theorized here?

1 It sure does, Tim.
The writers of Genesis (there were at least three of them and probably more) did not have the sophistication, nor a sophisticated language to use, to explain what actually happened at the time of the Creation, nor did they observe it first-hand. But they sure got most of it right, and in the correct chronology.
And most scientists these days either ignore, or are unaware of, the fact that science is only the way that God reveals, piece by piece, to us how He has created the Universe, made it orderly, and how the various components of it work, after all. How ironic that so many scientists profess to be atheists.

This is proof that God is God and Allah is a phony. Because God actually physically made it happen -- He created it, and finally had to rest from His labors from doing so -- whereas Muhammed tells us that Allah just sat and thought it all into being and was not wearied afterward. Yeah, sure. . .

2 The great scientists of the past were all strong Believers; Copernicus was a priest, as was Galileo. Newton was an Anglican minister. Francis Bacon was a Christian apologist. It went on like that until the late nineteenth century when Darwin and Marx made atheism fashionable and science became something solely about materialism. But even Einstein was a deist, speaking about God  and claiming "God does not throw dice with the Universe". In the end Science points the way to God. Anyone who denies that is either not looking hard enough or is in denial.

Yeah; Allah doesn't appear to have created anything. Methinks he's the god of this world, not of Heaven.
