slow down and never quite pass through the horizon. Black Holes can be very small or large because it all
depends on the amount of matter packed within a given radius. The combined gravitational forces of matter that
exist inside a black hole can be so strong that light cannot escape, and hence its name. Likewise, the diameter of
an event horizon depends on the amount of matter inside it. Matter and light can exist inside a black hole. The
equation of General Relativity requires that they must fall inward reaching a “singularity” at its center.
Nevertheless, the evidence of science indicated that the cosmos has expanded and is not currently undergoing an
overall inward falling. The other possibility allowed by General Relativity is that the universe was previously in a
“White Hole.” The equations of General Relativity require that light and matter inside a “White Hole” must expand
outward. The main point is that according to General Relativity time effectively stands still at the event horizon.
Clocks at that location run very slowly in comparison to clocks away from the “singularity.” This includes all
physical processes as well as clocks. An example would be if you were standing on the earth as the event horizon
arrived, distant objects in the cosmos would age billions of years in a single day. There would also be ample time
for the objects’ light to reach you. Clocks in different places can tick at different rates. What set of clocks did the
Bible refer to in Genesis? It must have been God’s intention to define time relative to the earth. Even on the
earth, altitude affects the rate of time and must be compensated for in atomic clocks. God used a day. It had the
Biblical meaning there “was evening and was morning” that made up a day. God defined the time domain.

The common Biblical teaching has been that God created light in transit. God created the beams of light from
distant stars in which their light was already on its way to earth. But, this would be just an illusion. God is one of
truth. Therefore, one needs to look into both science and the Bible. Science has the laws of the universe to
explain the answer. God is one of order and natural laws. He is not a God of chaos or random behavior. God set
the ordinance of the heavens at the time of creation. This is the mathematical laws of the universe. There is no
surprise to find that science which has been around for over 100 years can explain creation. But, the U.S.
Supreme Court has declared that creation is not science but religion and forbids it being taught. There are very
few books of learning available in the U.S. to present this information correctly. It is because there is a limited
market. This very short explanation of creation and science was useful to demonstrate that creation is supported
by science. However, one needs to know the Bible to apply the correct scientific answer. Physics describes the
behavior of the universe at the most fundamental level of science. These laws of physics can explain how energy
is transported, how gravity operates, how mass moves through space and how light propagates. These physical
laws are usually mathematical equations or formulas that describe God’s creation. Every object in the universe
obeys these rules. God has designed order in the universe.

Science – Intelligent Design

Everything in the universe is bound by laws. Every plant, animal, rock or matter including subatomic particles
must obey nature’s laws. This includes light as particles or as waves must be bound by laws. God applied logic to
His creation such that there is order. The universe is not haphazard or arbitrary in nature. The laws of nature are
totally consistent with creation. Why should the universe obey laws if there was no Creator? Evolution cannot
explain why there are male and female species, if we evolved from chemical elements or single-cell organisms.

Life requires chemistry. All life is powered by chemical reactions, which follow the laws of chemistry. These laws
give different properties to the various elements and compounds that make up the universe. The properties of
elements and compounds are not arbitrary. It is fact the element can be logically organized into periodic tables
based upon the atomic weight. We have seen that these elements were created using nucleosynthesis, which was
shown in an abundance table. Atoms and molecules have their various properties because their electrons are
bound by the laws of quantum physics. God had made the laws of physics so that the laws of chemistry would
come out right for creation of life. Life would not be possible if the laws of chemistry were different. Every living
thing has information stored on a long molecule called DNA.
