A Brief History of Ancient Cosmology

Kepler’s elliptical orbit
Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)
Galileo, the Church and the ScripturesPsalm 93:1,2
The LORD reigns, he is robed in majesty; the LORD is robed in majesty and is armed
with strength. The world is firmly established;it cannot be
moved.Your throne was established long ago;
you are from all eternity.
Galileo, the Church and the ScripturesPsalm 97:1-4
The LORD reigns, let the earth be glad;let the distant shores rejoice.
Clouds and thick darkness surround him; righteousness and justice are the
foundation of his throne. Fire goes before him and consumes his foes
on every side. His lightning lights up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.
Albert Einstein
Relativity & Curved Space
The Expanding Universe
The velocity of expansion is expressed in the equation:
v = Hr in which v is velocity, r is distance between two points,
and H, called Hubble's constant, is a proportionality value that relates velocity and distance.

Cosmological Models Come & Go
Evidence for a Young Earth
Process Max Age(years)
Evolution Age (years)
1. Galaxies wind up too fast several million 10 Billion
2. Comets Disintegrate too quickly 100,000 10 Billion
3. Earth's continents erode too fast 15 million 5 Billion
4. Not enough sediment on the sea floors 15 million 200 million
5. Ocean accumulates sodium too fast 60 million 3 Billion
6. Earth's magnetic field energy decays too fast. 10,000 5 Billion
7. Multilayer fossils straddle too many strata several millions
8. Many strata are too tightly bent several thousand 100 million
9. Out of sequence fossils scramble timetable ? 100s of millions
10. Not enough helium in earth's atmosphere 2 million 5 billion
11. Fossil radioactivity shortens "geologic ages“ to several years
instantaneous 5 billion
