And God Said ...

A spooky bit of Science.
That's Felix Whatshisname's balloon; the man who jumped out 24 miles up. Don't tell me that's got something to do with the Bible?

I said this was a spooky bit of science and you'll probably think it's even more far fetched but ...

... do you remember this?

Er, possibly? It's a map of the sky showing radiation stuff that proves that we had a big bang ...

Big inflation!

... OK big inflation; a beginning, something from nothing, just like the Bible says.

Absolutely, but why is it speckled.

I guess because it's got lumpy bits in it.

And those lumpy bits of matter sort of clumped together to form stars and, eventually, planet Earth. Remember, stuff condensed like steam on a cold window.
So it's lumpy - so what?

Well it shouldn't be lumpy. All the calculations, all the clever maths, points to a nice smooth inflation.

But if there weren't lumps we wouldn't be here talking about it! Now that is spooky.

But it gets even spookier. To investigate the lumps, they sent a balloon up ...
click on the picture to see it enlarged

... and they did even more tricky calculations ...
..and found that the lumpiness was caused by sound waves!

Sound? Where from? Space is empty!

Go on, what does the bible say?

Surely not? That's really weird!

Then God said, “Let there be light”
Then God said, “Let there be a dome ..."
Then God said, “Let the water come together ..."
Then God said, “Let lights appear in the sky ... "
Then God said, “Let the water be filled ..."
Then God said, “And now we will make human beings"

Are you telling me that the lumpiness is scientifically proved to be the Voice of God?

I couldn't claim that; not yet at least. BUT, yet again, it shows that the people who wrote the Bible down seemed to have a pretty good idea about things which would not be discovered for another 4000 years. If nothing else it IS spooky.

Can we have something nice and simple please. My brain is hurting even more!

Yes. On Tuesday a simple little poem!

Cool!
