Overview

All too often the believer's trust in the Bible is challenged by what scientists tell us about the universe. This is especially true regarding the age of the earth and the universe. If we follow the genealogies in the Bible, we find that the earth and the universe were formed something over 6,100 years ago. However, secular astronomers and cosmologists tell us the universe is approximately 13.2 billion years old. The Bible tells us that the celestial bodies were formed on the fourth day of Creation. Yet, astronomers can identify regions within galaxies where hundreds of stars are being formed each year. With countless visible galaxies billions of light years away from us, the evidence provided by modern day cosmology appears to give strong credence to the old earth and universe claim. That is until we take into account Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Creation Relativity: Einstein and the Bible reveals how the Theory of Relativity reconciles the claims of the Bible to modern cosmological evidence to conclusively and scientifically demonstrate that the Bible is correct in its claims regarding the age of the earth and the universe.J. Palmer Douglas, author of Why We Believe in Creationism, is a career science educator and an ordained pastor who is accustomed to presenting complex scientific and theological information in a simple, easy to understand manner. Written with the reader in mind, Creation Relativity: Einstein and the Bible explains in a plain, easy to understand conversational style the science and theology involved in determining how old the universe actually is, why light from galaxies billions of light years away needs only short periods of time to reach us, and how it is that we can see star-forming regions within galaxies, when the celestial bodies were all created on the fourth day. Additionally, Creation Relativity: Einstein and the Bible reveals the profound impact of Einstein's theories on our understanding of some of the most essential truths in the Bible. Creation Relativity: Einstein and the Bible will give the reader a new confidence in the Creation account presented in Genesis, as well as a renewed and greatly deepened appreciation of who we are to God and Who God is to us. Creation Relativity: Einstein and the Bible provides great support to the faith of the believer, and a powerful challenge to unbelievers to place their trust in God and the Bible.
