Psalm 19:1-4 (NLT)
The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display His craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make Him known. They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world.

Biblical Worldview
• There is a God.
• He created the universe to display His glory.
• Earth specially designed as a home for us. It is truly unique.
• We are the focus of His creation for relationship with Him and each other.
• Adam’s sin brought death and brokenness affecting the whole of creation.
![Page 7: A Galaxy Far Far Away Astronomy, SETI, UFOs, Aliens...Initially called Planet X •Venetia Burney (age 11) suggested the name Pluto. •Is classed as a TNO (Trans Neptunian Object)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081401/5f0436c27e708231d40ce01d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Naturalistic / Secular Worldview
• There is no God.
• Everything came about by chance over billions of years.
• Earth is not particularly special or in any favoured location.
• Humans are not special, we are just the “most evolved pond scum”!
• There must be lots of places in a vast universe where life also evolved.

From Aristotle to Apollo• Aristotle (384-322BC). Geocentric (earth centred) solar system.
• Erastothenes (276-195BC). Calculated circumference of Earth.
• Ptolemy (AD90-168). Refined Aristotle’s geocentric ideas.
• … nearly 1500 years pass with not much happening…
• Copernicus (1473-1543). Heliocentric system (Sun at centre)
• Galileo (1564-1642). Invented telescope. Discovered Jupiter’s moons and sunspots.
• Kepler (1571-1630). Developed Laws of Planetary Motion
• Newton (1642-1726). Laws of Motion and Gravitation.
• Einstein (1879-1955). Proposed new physics to explain anomalies.
• Apollo 11 misson, July 1969. Man steps on to the Moon

“Big Bang’s Nebula Hypothesis”
• Initial cloud of swirling gas
• A star (Sun in our case) condenses at the centre.
• Other gas forms into dust.
• Dust accretes to planetesimals(asteroids).
• Planetesimals form planets.
• Star’s radiation pressure (solar wind) “sweeps” remaining gas away in relatively short (evolutionary) time.

Defying Naturalism: Major Problems
• Accretion doesn’t actually work!
• Sun’s tiny angular momentum.
• “Gas Giant” planets shouldn’t be here.
• Retrograde rotation of Venus and Uranus.
• Magnetic fields e.g. on Mercury and Pluto.
• Geologic activity on planets and moons –even our Moon.
• Source of short period comets a mystery.

The mean distance from the Sun to the Earth
Approximately 149,600,000km!
Astronomical Unit (AU)

• Sun / earth distance. “Goldilocks” temperature.
• Axial tilt. Gives us seasons.
• Sun/moon system just right for tides, observing eclipses.
• Atmosphere. Thickness and constitution is just right.
• Magnetic field and ozone layers both provide protection from radiation.

• Launched on Jan 19th 2006. Highest launch speed ever generated.
• Passed Jupiter on Feb 28th 2007. Systems tested and speed increased further.
• Mostly hibernated until full wakeup on Dec 6th 2014
• Travelled 5,000,000,000+ km
• Arrived 72 seconds early!
• Stunning images and measurements obtained.

Mind Blowing Real Science and Engineering!
NASA New Horizons Pluto Mission
![Page 15: A Galaxy Far Far Away Astronomy, SETI, UFOs, Aliens...Initially called Planet X •Venetia Burney (age 11) suggested the name Pluto. •Is classed as a TNO (Trans Neptunian Object)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081401/5f0436c27e708231d40ce01d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Discovered in 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh. Initially called “Planet X”
• Venetia Burney (age 11) suggested the name “Pluto”.
• Is classed as a “TNO” (Trans NeptunianObject).
• Looks surprisingly “young”.
• Confirmed geologically active and so is moon Charon. Proved not dead and cold.
• Likely will be reinstated as a planet again.15
Pluto “Not what we expected” Desperate interpretations

• Assumption that all you need is water the right elements and time to get life (eventually).
• Must be rocky, not gas planet.
• Have atmosphere and water.
• Must have near circular orbit.
• Its star must be stable and generate the right light.

Great science but assumptions galore!
Kepler Mission – Search for Exoplanets

• God did not create “light in transit”.
• Biblical time reference is Earth
• A Light Year is a measure of distance, not absolute time.
• Time is affected by gravity and velocity. This is “Einstein 101”!
• New physics is required…

Time may be slower in different parts of the universe
Slow

• Accepted by faith.
• Accept unobserved unknowns to explain unknowns. E.g. Dark Matter and Dark Energy”.
• Cannot be proven experimentally, so it is not operational science.

Cosmology“The Origin, Evolution & Ultimate Fate of the Universe”

‘Cosmology may look like a science, but it isn’t a science. A basic tenet of science is that you can do repeatable experiments, and you can’t do that in cosmology.’
James Gunn of Princeton University, co-founder of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.

• The key: Any signal containing informationmust have originated from an intelligent source.
• 50+ years of searching. Nothing detected!
• DNA – has highly complex coding. It screams out design and great intelligence - yet it is utterly rejected as evidence for God!
• UFO abductions and alien “space brother” visits often have a spiritual basis to them.

• 80% believe that the government is hiding the existence of extraterrestrial life forms.
• 64% believe aliens have contacted humans.
• 50% believe that aliens have abducted humans .
• 93% however, have never been abducted!
• 75% believe that a UFO crashed near Roswell NM.

Belief is mainstream and held by many as being true.
UFOlogyThe world’s fastest-growing ‘scientific’ religion?

‘I believe the simplest explanation is there is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realisation that there is probably no heaven and no afterlife either...’
Prof Stephen Hawking
