Many times, what passes for science in cosmology is not self-correcting, it is self-refuting. We are told that such is the nature of science that it is a “self-correcting” endeavor, so that the most current material must be accurate. We are often told to bow to the modern dating methods of the Universe, conform to the “real science” that proves the Bible false, and admit the validity of “current scientific findings.” Yet, we learn every day how limited and incorrect these often are. So what does all this mean? First, it shows us the serious limitations of science. (He incorrectly assumes the reality of the Big Bang.) 2 That being the case, he mentions researchers at Oxford who believe that our Universe could be “as big as 250 times the size of our observable universe. He goes on to make clear that the galaxies that we see at the edge of our Universe are too “well-formed” to have appeared immediately following the Big Bang. Using the latest information, he wrote, “Physicists…now believe the radius of the observable universe is now roughly 46.5 billion light years away.” 1 That is much bigger than we were told it appeared in years past.
Last week, Ed Oswald wrote an article for Yahoo! Tech titled, “How Big is the Universe? Attempting to Answer One of Astronomy’s Most Complex Questions.” In the article, he explained the complicated processes of how cosmologists attempt to measure the size of the Universe. New studies, however, indicate that cosmologists have been wrong, on a grand scale, about the size of our Universe. At least that is what we have been told for about a decade. That means if light were to start at one end of our Universe, travelling 186,000 miles per second, it would take 28 billion years to get to the other side. Since light travels at about 186,000 miles per second, the distance it covers in one year is about 5.9 trillion miles. A light year is the distance light travels in one year. Last week research was discussed that will forever change the way we look at the Universe (if you read the right article), and the irony is that you probably are not even aware of it.įor many years, cosmologists (scientists who study the Universe and its supposed origins) have explained to us that our Universe appears to be approximately 28 billion light years across. Coaching and Small Groupsīesides our team of pastors, who are our main presenters and who also provide guidance, training, and access to valuable resources necessary for the effective functioning of the ministry, we also have a dedicated team of Bible Instructors - Bible Coaches who have completed the lesson series, additional training with the pastors, and Friendship Ministry Training, and have demonstrated skill in applying those principles in-person and/or via our digital platform.Every now and then I come across an article on modern “scientific” findings that absolutely stuns me, not necessarily because of the newest “findings,” but because of how casually information that was declared to be so scientifically accurate can be disregarded with a few computer keystrokes. During this time, the coach will facilitate interaction among participants and lead them into the Interactive Discussion. These breakout rooms last for 25-30 minutes.
Breakout GroupsĮach session, after the presentation, participants are divided into groups comprising 4-7 people, each group led by a Bible coach. We are happy to be one of the first online platforms to provide a setting that facilitates great interaction and relationships. But they provide very little in terms of genuine relationships and interaction. YouTube and Facebook live videos are good. God must especially have been referring to these days, when people are separated like never before in human history. "Let us not neglect meeting together, as some have made a habit, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching" (Hebrews 10:25). Your walk with God is very personal - yet it's not meant to be traveled alone.
