Evolutionists and Creationists Are Both Right

Creation verses Evolution. The debate rags on, but what if Creationists and Evolutionists are both right?

Yes, there are many things you will read in the Bible that seem to contradict modern science like the proposal that the universe was created in six days (and God rested on the seventh) verses the proposal that the universe started out as a singularity, then there was a Big Bang, then everything slowly evolved over billions of years.

But both proposals are correct if you take into account Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity.

According to Einstein's theory, measurements of time, space and motion are relative, meaning they depend on the relative position of the observer. For example, an observer positioned in outer space will see the Earth hurling through space at a great speed. Yet, an observer on the ground will feel the Earth to be stationary and will see the stars, sun and moon move around the Earth.

But Einstein's theory does not stop there, it also proposes that the speed of light is constant and that it is time and space that are variable. That's where the theory gets really weird:

Let's imagine you have a twin. You decide to take a trip in a spaceship that can travel close to the speed of light. Before you leave, you and your twin synchronize your watches. After you start your journey, your rocket accelerates to near-light speed, then something really strange happens.

Your watch slows down relative to your twin's. For every second that passes on your watch, years pass for your twin on Earth. When you finally return home, your twin is old enough to be your Grandpappy, while you have barely aged!

Here is Einstein's equation for time dilation:

Te = Ts/sqrt(1 - [(v/c) squared])

Te = the time elapsed on earth. Ts = the time elapsed on the spaceship. v = the velocity of the spaceship, and c = the speed of light.

The equation indicates that if the spaceship's velocity (v) is relatively small compared to (c) the speed of light, then the difference of the passage of time for each twin would be negligible. However, if you plug into the equation the speed of light (c) for velocity (v), you get:

Te = Ts/sqrt(1 - [(c/c) squared])
Te = Ts/1-1
Te = Ts/0
Ts/0 = Te
Ts = 0Te
Ts = 0

If your spaceship travels at the speed of light, Ts = 0, or, time stops. That means you could go anywhere in the universe in no time at all--instantaneously! You could accomplish or create anything in an instant!

Of course, your twin on Earth would not see it that way. For him/her, billions of years will have passed.

Therefore, the universe really was created in only six days if God's velocity was close to the speed of light. In fact, God is often associated with "the light." And, since scientists did not move at the speed of light, they observed and calculated the passage of time to be billions of years.

When God rested on the seventh day, he was not moving at the speed of light, and so the seventh day was a normal Earth day. That is why the Sabbath does not last billions of years. Too bad. Wouldn't it be great if you could work six days and then take a billion years off?
