The Bible and Astronomy

The Bible is not the only source of the creation of the universe. Several evidences of the creation of non-Bibles can be found in geology, mathematics, genetics, biology, and anthropology. The fossil record in geology shows that there are no transitional or intermediate fossil patterns between species. Besides, there is no leap from non-life to life. Therefore, geology shows that the Creator exists because everything appears at some point. There is no transition period for species to evolve into new creatures.

Francis Watson is reviewing the history of controversy in his article "Genesis in front of Darwin: Why does the Bible need to be released from science"? From the 16th century to the 19th century, he dates back to the Bible what is called 'merger' of astronomy and geology. The integration of Biblical records and scientific discoveries (such as "Tianzhiwei" solution) is the damage or confusion between the two. Darwin proposed his theory without mentioning Genesis. According to Watson, this shows a more productive and beneficial relationship between Genesis and science separation or each other's release.

Millions of years secular history is not right, but evolutionary geology, biology, anthropology, astronomy etc can not tolerate the trial of observational science. Geology, biology, anthropology, astronomy, etc. are all confirmed by observational science. Therefore, the truth of the history of the Bible should challenge people to seriously consider Biblical relief information based on this history. God promised him with great consideration so as not to put his creation in the state of sin. He promised to abolish the corruption Adam brought to the world. In the future he will remove the curse against his creation (Revelation 22: 3) and promised to create a new heaven and a new earth (2 Peter 3:13). There is no death, weeping, no pain in this new place (Revelation 21: 4).

James Trimmer provided historical roots to Galileo, Bellamy and Biblical books as a contemporary debate on the religious and ethical background of science. Galileo Galilei is considered a father of astronomy and his intuitive view on the solar system caused discussion in the world of religion. James Trimmer commented that Richard J. Blackwell tried to fill the gap between the Catholic Church and the modern early scientific pursuit. These articles provide a glimpse of the University of Towson History Scholarship. Without the help of Towson University History Department, it is impossible to obtain these works. We are extremely grateful that we contributed to Dr. Oluwatoyin Oduntan, our lecturer. I also thank Dr. Erik Ropers for it.
