Last week I think, I enjoyed watching on the net a documentary about Einstein's Theory of Relativity. I find science fascinating because it explains how things work. And , what makes it most interesting is how many scientific theories line up with the Bible. That's right, and please note that it is science lining up with the Bible and NOT the Bible lining up with science. Einstein's Theory of Relativity lines up with the Bible as well.
If you want to know the birthplace of science here it is: John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:2 He was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.
The greatest physicist of all time is not Albert Einstein, His name is Jesus Christ, the SON of the Living GOD>
Einstein had two components in his theory one involved time and motion and the other, energy equals a physical mass. By the way energy as a function of mass is how nuclear bombs work. It was Einstein that made nuclear weapons possible.
The Theory of Relativity. Example- If you leave earth in a spaceship and move at the speed of light 186,000 miles per second for 24 hours and then turn around and return to earth, when you get back 10 years will have passed but to you in has only been two days.
You see time is indeed relative two days to you 10 years to everyone on earth. Here is a scripture reference that explains the Theory of Relativity two thousand years before Einstein was born.
2 Pet 3:8 Nevertheless, do not let this one fact escape you, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.
Notice the verse says "as a thousand years " and not a day is a thousands years! Why because it is relative baby :) Since time is relative and not fixed but fluid or dynamic It suggest the ability to travel through time backwards and forward depending on motion and direction. I view Ps 139:10 now with better understanding. And all other verses the talk about the foreknowledge of GOD.
Ps 139:16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your book all the days [of my life] were written before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them.
And how else could Jesus be slain BEFORE the foundation of the world (past tense) unless time is relative.
Rev 13:8 And all the inhabitants of the earth will fall down in adoration and pay him homage, everyone whose name has not been recorded in the Book of Life of the Lamb that was slain [in sacrifice] from the foundation of the world.
This is why the recorded creation record does NOT mean everything was created in literally 6 Days. In fact until the 4th Day (or relative period of time) there was no such things as a literal 24 hr day. God did not put the Sun.moon and everything in motion that produces a 24 hr cycle until the 4th day so we know if could not have been literally 6 - 24 hr periods to make all creation. It is easy for me to understand how many unsaved people think Christians are dogmatic in their faith when we try to defend a literal 6 day creation period because it is just NOT possible.
