The document discusses multiple theories about the origin and age of the Earth and universe, including:
1) Young Earth Creationism, which believes the Earth is only around 10,000 years old based on a literal interpretation of the Bible.
2) The Big Bang Theory, which proposes the universe rapidly expanded from an initial extremely hot and dense state around 13.8 billion years ago.
3) The author finds the Creationist Theory most convincing as they believe something cannot come from nothing, which is a premise of the Big Bang Theory.
2. Where the Earth, and human nature were created by God. It took God 6 days to create the earth (the 7 th day was for rest) In the Holy Bible, it states that God created the earth in seven days and the universe “ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1
3. Young Earth Creationism- meaning that only about 10,000 years have passed since God created the Earth This theory takes Biblical creationism literally Evolution plays in this form of the theory The Omphalos hypothesis States that God created the Earth in its mature form They use nature to try to date when the earth was created. Using rings on trees doesn't work Those who believed in this form of theory believe that the rings in trees and other evidence such as dinosaurs were created at the beginning of time
4. The belief that a the small universe expanded created the expansion of the universe At the point of this event all of the matter and energy of space was contained at one point What exisisted prior to this event is completely unknown and is a matter of research Wasn't just an explosion, but an event filling all of space with all of the particles of the embryonic universe rushing away from each other It was an explosion within itself Laid the foundation of the universe
5. There are so many theories on how the universe was created. There is one theory that I think that makes the most sense. I think the Creationist Theory makes the most sense. The Big Bang Theory is all about how out of NOTHING came something. They say two chemicals created a reaction that all the sudden exploded and the universe was formed. That fact can be proved wrong. Out of NOTHING can’t come something. That is why the Creationist Theory makes more sense.
