Introduction: Universe Battles
By Tom DeRosa, Executive Director of CSI. It’s the night sky, visible to all, that reveals the grand universe. Its countless stars and vast expanses fill us with awe and wonder about the cosmos and its mysteries. It has inspired many to look up at night and witness numerous objects moving in space at incredible speeds. Earth orbitsthe sun at 77,000 miles per hour (mph), while the sun and its solar system travel through space at about 500,000 mph. The Milky Way galaxy, where we live, spins at 1,100,000 mph as it careens through space. And yet,
It was Created to be Inhabited
Not many realize the uniqueness of Earth and how it is superbly designed to support life. There is a remarkable relationship between the sun and the Earth, whereby dangerous solar radiation is efficiently filtered out, allowing only the radiation necessary for living processes to enter.
Exposing the Great Myth: Evolution of the Solar System
The elephant’s trunk, one of its most prominent and distinctive features, is not just a tool for eating and drinking. It’s a lifeline. The sheer size of these magnificent creatures, the largest terrestrial animals on earth, draws much attention.
Why UFOs Need Not Be ETs
“The truth is out there” has been the mantra of Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) enthusiasts for decades. With Senate Report (SR) 116-233, ufologists believe that they can now announce “The truth is here.” But what the truth is is still unidentified and, for a Christian, may represent a paradigm shift.
Scientists Discovered Impossible Galaxies
Astronomers and cosmologists are stunned by the latest pictures they have just received from the James Webb Space telescope characterizing them as “the impossible galaxies from the dawn of the universe.” Scientists have known that for Big Bang cosmology to be true, galaxies that are farther away are closer to the original Big Bang event.
The Cosmos: The Immortals (Part 11)
This episode begins with our narrator, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, asking, “Must we die? Are there beings in the cosmos that live forever? A float down the river of time”… and the credits roll. Now our animators take us to what appears to be papyrus ships moving under a nighttime sky as our narrator tells us, “Our ancestors marked time by the moon and the stars.”
Deflating Inflationary Theory
Inflation is the predominant theory to explain the first moments of the universe after a proposed Big Bang took place. The theory of inflation holds that an instant after a big band -about a trillion of a trillion of a trillion of a second by some accounts, the universe rapidly expanded 101,000,000,000,000m, eventually settling for a slower rate of expansion.
Higgs Boson (God Particle) Detected at CERN
One of the many questions that scientists try to answer is: “Where did matter come from?” According to the most popular theory today, all of the matter of the universe originated from light energy produced during the “Big Bang” some 13.7 billion years ago. But how could light become matter?
Big Bang or Big Bust?
The big bang is the popularized version of evolutionary cosmology. It states that matter, energy, and space were all compressed many billions of times smaller than a proton and then exploded for some undetermined reason to create an expanding universe, which continues to spread today. There are presently some 50 theories proposed by cosmologists
Water Water Everywhere, Literally!
This compound of water (H2O) is one of the most unique substances in the universe. Because scientists understand that water is basic to all living things, they believe that finding this compound in outer space would make it likely to be inhabited by extraterrestrial microorganisms.
