Let There Be Light … and Bang … There It Was
“The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological model explaining the existence of the observable universe from the earliest known periods through its subsequent large-scale evolution.[1][2][3] The model describes how the universe expanded from an initial state of high density and temperature,[4] and offers a comprehensive explanation for a broad range of observed phenomena, including the abundance of light elements, the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, and large-scale structure.” This reference is found under “Big Bang” on Wikipedia.
“Light or visible light is electromagnetic radiation within the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is perceived by the human eye.[1] Visible light is usually defined as having wavelengths in the range of 400–700 nanometres (nm), between the infrared (with longer wavelengths) and the ultraviolet (with shorter wavelengths).[2][3] This wavelength means a frequency range of roughly 430–750 terahertz (THz).” Wikipedia.
Okay, so now we know what light is and where it came from. Let me say … “Really?” This is not my field so I have no idea what the majority of the first paragraphs mean. I am sure some of you do, but not me.
We must remember, and most important to all this is, the above “information” is “scientific fact” not fact. The two are seldom, if ever in certain fields, the same in the real world. But it is believed to be by many. Fact is unchanging.
Scientific fact is compiled data which leads some to a conclusion. Scientific fact is theory based on findings and can be manipulated to an end, or will change with the advent of newer material.
When an issue is unchangeable, undeniable, not just for the moment, it is fact. That all of creation started with that “Big Bang” is but another theory which really explains little, especially from the stand point of “Where did it all begin?”
And none of the above, and related theories, explain or seem to address what is outside of the universe, with any substance for the layman. But I remain confident, God knows what’s out there. That’s what He used to make what we see. And in the beginning, only He could make something out of nothing. Science needs a “something” to make a something.
But more, philosophical science does put an end to the universe, so that begs the question, “What do we call the area outside of the end of the universe?” And so on. But I digress. Our subject here, “light,” the first of God’s creations.
Light is, by science, one of the effects of the Big Bang. But then this concept does not rule out God as science does in so many cases. If fact, I see a certain agreement here, but in a different mind set, and not purposed for conjecture or scientific approval, just down home thinking, common sense as it were.
In reality, accordingly, the Big Bang is a replacement word or theory for workings of God.
Before the Big Bang there was an unexplainable force. One writer puts it as “… energy inherent to space itself, or an early, super-intense form of dark energy.” This is from a Forbes magazine article “Science Uncovers The Origin Of The First Light In The Universe,” Ethan Siegel, Senior Contributor.
In reading this article, I must conclude that God is that “force.” Thank you science.
Genesis 1:1; In the beginning God …
And this “force” brought about “light” in a much simpler manner than all the calculations of science.
Genesis 1:3; And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
BANG, there it was, Light.
