This
2-part seminar by Chris Ashcraft was recorded at a meeting of the Creation Association of
Puget Sound on June 11th and July 9th 2006.
Description:
This presentation was designed to provide a general overview of creation astronomy / cosmology,
and highlights important players and resources for future study.
The first
half of the seminar takes a look at the purpose of the celestial bodies, and provides the
Biblical foundation and physical proof for a young universe. The second half analyzes Big Bang cosmology and
presents evidence which argues against this ideology, and shows how the
data instead supports a creation cosmology. It is asserted that the Big
Bang is inconsistent with the Biblical creation, and the Earth occupies a special place
at the center of the cosmos.
