Actually, the Bible teaches that both space and time had a beginning, which is true (without space there is no time), God told Job 5000 years ago that the earth is hanged in nothingness, and yet it doesn’t fall. Also true. The heavens were stretched out like a tent. The evidence points to that. The stars were created in the beginning, and then God ceased from His work, and it is true that no starts have ever been observed to form. No one has ever witnessed a star being born although you can point a telescope anywhere in the universe and watch one explode in death. When the universe is destroyed, the Bible says it will be “rolled up like a scroll”, it will collapse, and those that are left here will be trapped in a gigantic singularity, which is hell. Hell is called by Peter the “storm of darkness”, which is a perfect picture of a rotating black hole. It is a place of intense heat, but no light (since the photons are ripped apart by the extreme gravity). Whenever Satan is being judged in the Bible, he is always said to be “crushed”, and Paul said that the devil would soon be “crushed” under our feet (space was stretched out from the earth first, and then to the rest of the universe, so that when it collapses, it will end up beneath our feet), it is a place of destruction but also goes on forever, and some physicists believe that at the center of a hole, time may proceed as normal. There is a valley that no one can cross out of hell into heaven, or vice versa, that would be the event horizon. All directions from the center of a hole point north, so it is indeed a bottomless pit. Also, fallen angels in the Bible are called “Stars that give off no light”. “Darkened stars”, that’s a modern term for a hole. People there are “chained in gloomy darkness”, and then in the book of Job, God tells Job that he has “chained the stars together, and who can break them? so the “chains” He is discussing are the chains of gravity. I could go on and on, the horrifying thing is, that the Bible is indeed a scientific textbook, just a very scary one.

I’m sorry but I don’t believe any of it. I believe in scientific evidence, anything else is open to interpretation. The bible can say anything you want it to say, especially when it comes to the creation of the universe.

I have a question then. According to the Bible, people used to live to be hundreds of years old, especially Methuselah. Are those ages also subject to interpretation? After all, scientists don’t believe it is possible for man to live that long.

To me it indicates that the physical conditions of those times were very different than today.
