    This idea, that as seen from earth, the creation LOOKED , appeard to have happened quickly because of the relativity effects on our perception was touched on in the book 'The Science of God". but

    The Earth was NOT created quickly. it took 9 biilion years to do it. and

    Genesis 1:1 is wrong: The earth was NOT created in the beginning together with the heavens. and so it goes with the rest of that book-collection.

    it starts out not with a big bang, but with a dud.

    That's not even making sense, prologos.

    It actually does help explain why HE IS DOING NOTHING FOR MANKIND NOW. To an observer (a human on earth), God is moving so slowly that he seems to be standing still like a statue, unable to save a drowning child in a tsunami.

    It's not that he doesn't want to help, it's just that it might take a few thousand years for him to move.

    So I say we are better off working to solve our problems without him.

    the fizzler was not the real creation event, but the bible dud of 'beginning plus seven day' explanation.

    events on this earth, like the appearance of plant, animal, sea life are not effected by relativistic skewing. so 4 billion year of life are just that.

    The information about the beginning, that is now all around us, at a distance, is another matter, but

    is hardly precise enough in understanding to lend credence to the ancient books we read.

    I've not spoken to one Witness who refuses to trump science with the ability of God to do what the feck he likes just 'cos he lives on a cloud and invented everything. That's regardless of how much some of them like to think they are knowledgable about physics, chemistry or biology.

    Of course, as soon as you stop playing that trump card then you on the journey to knowing TTATT.
