Strengthening families through biblical principles.
Focus on the Family addresses the use of biblical principles in parenting and marriage to strengthen the family.

The calculation for the age of the universe is really rather simple.Big Bangers extrapolate the expansion in reverse to a singularity instead of starting at some already expanded state.

Is the earth at the center of the universe?Since Earth is the center, time is moving very rapidly compared to some point at the edge, due to all the cumulative gravity of the whole universe.
This Physicist makes the fundamental error of assuming that the 1st chapter of Genesis is "cosmology" rather than the genealogy of the heavens and the earth which introduces the story of creation which begins at Gen 2:4.I just watched this and thought it might be a blessing to some people...

Gravity ( a very weak force,by the way) has no effect whatsoever on the calculation.
Is the earth at the center of the universe?
What is your source of that information. Is there a website I can go to?
Does gravity affect time? Time has no mass to be effected by gravity so how could it be effected?
Again, do you have a source I could check out?
Yeah. That makes sense to me since everything seems to be moving away. But this stuff is a bit challenging for me.In it he clearly states that the Earth is near the center.
Yet people like Prof. Michio Kaku (also PhD Physicist) and many many others say it's rather simple because of the red shift of the light of stars as they move away.So your statement about how simple to calculate the age of the universe lacks knowledge.
Jim, did you not understand that I was referring to the video? In it he clearly states that the Earth is near the center.
In the video he is clear about how gravity affects time. Anyone familiar with Einstein's General Relativity equation and subsequent experiments no longer question it, as it is accepted as fact in the scientific community.
. When it was discovered that the universe was only about 14 billion years old, the evolutionists had to reinvent evolution because 18 billion years is not long enough for evolution to have occurred.
.
The current consensus within the scientific community is that life on Earth has evolved within 4 billion years, with most of that time taken up by single cell organisms. Once life got past that, it got knocked down and almost out repeatedly, with strong indications that 20 million years is plenty of time for very substantial evolution to occur.
Thought since things found in the mid 90's has changed a LOT!
Did you notice I was referring to what was said in the video? That I wasn't referring to any "science" claim?Science doesn't claim that, at all.
I read that galaxies furthest away from the Earth in all directions show to be young and "equidistant" from the Earth (13B light years). It appears that Earth is the center. But if your theory is correct, then every galaxy will appear at the center. Can you please explain that?Expansion of space is uniform, such that all points move away from one another, and there is no "center" (as the theory of expansion goes)
NDC, did you see this movie? I'm looking at reviews and haven't found anything yet that made me want to see it. I found a spoiler that wasn't alerted as a spoiler: "the Earth IS NOT MOVING. All the Universe is, but not us. Zero speed through absolute space. Earth at the Center of it all!" I wonder if you can tell me how they resolve the problem of the earth not moving as opposed to celestial math.I don't think I would have appreciated what was said in the movie in the OP if I had not watched "The Principle". There are some amazing findings in recent cosmology that Christians are unaware of and atheists are very troubled by!
Using scripture for science is a misuse of scripture, IMO.

The word/definition of “Science” has as its root “natural theology”. Some universities still calling their ‘science’ departments “natural theology”. To a Christian scientist, the study of God through nature (his creation) still is natural theology. And as Paul points out, you can learn things about the attributes of God through observing His creation.
I am not a member of the denomination; “Church of Christ”. I am an engineer (use science to actually build useful stuff. Rockets, bombs and missiles in particular).Are you a member of the Church of Christ, scientist?
If you mentioned Eastern Orthodox to most of my fellow local church members you’d get a blank stare, not knowing much about it one way or the other.Ok, thanks. I think it might help things generally to have a sense of where folks are coming from. Myself, I have deliberately aligned myself with no denomination but have sought God. Who has brought me into a belief system taught by the EO (Eastern Orthodox)
I laugh at myself about this. All that time I thought it was 'just me and Jesus,' and He was showing me the most ancient Faith!
