Q

how old is the universe

A

in 2003 - 13.7 billion
in 2020 - 13.8 billion

do creationists believe that new stars are being formed

A

no

18
Q

why do creationists do not believe that new stars are being formed?

A

God’s creative acts are finished
pictures of star “birthing” areas only show stars fully formed

19
Q

what are the characteristics of the existence of spiral galaxies

A

the fact that they exist at all shows the universe is younger
center rotates fastest, outside areas rotate slowest
will lose its spiral shape over time
maximum age for spiral galaxies is a few hundred million years

20
Q

what are the characteristics of the existence of blue stars

A

brightest stars because of the amount of fuel
hottest blue stars can only last for a few million years
evolutionists use the birth of new stars as their rescuing device

21
Q

what does empirical science support

A

a young universe and shows a problem with an old universe/ earth

22
Q

what is the creation model for life

A

“Life created by an intelligent source” life comes from life- the first life came from God

23
Q

what is the evolution model for life

A

“Began by natural process” Life comes from non-life

A

Francesco Redi

25
Q

who used the broth and bacteria experiment

A

Louis Pasteur

26
Q

what is primordial earth

A

conditions allowed for life from non-life

A

biogenesis is the only explanation for life
