In the 1920's Edwin Hubble was looking at the stars and the universe through his telescope. As he was watching the universe and the cosmos in general, he noticed something that had not been expected to see. He noticed that when you look at the light that stars give off and put them onto a spectrum of red and blue, he noticed that the light appeared to be more red. This was huge when trying to understand the cosmos. The original idea was that the universe has always been the same size and has always been infinitely big. As Hubble was noticing that the star light was shifted to the red side of spectrum, he came upon something that could be crucial in understanding the science of the universe.
Basically what Edwin Hubble had found is what is known as the Red Shift Theory. The idea is obviously used based on a red and blue light scale. It uses the same principle method as what the Doppler affect of sound does. For example, if you were to go outside and stand on the side of the road and watch an ambulance approach you, you would notice that the sound of the siren would be continuously becoming louder until the ambulance was right next to you, and then and only then would you hear it's true pitch. As it moves away, the siren becomes lower pitch until it moves out of range to hear. This is the exact same when talking about the Red Shift Theory. The closer light is to the viewer (Edwin Hubble) the more blue it would appear on the scale. The farther the light was away from the viewer, the more red it would look.
This is important for many reasons, but the biggest one is that the light is appearing more red than it ever has before. What this means is that the galaxy is "growing", expanding, and becoming larger. If one were to think about how this relates to their being a creator God they would find that if you could take this expanding universe and put it into rewind, it would all have to come back to a finite point of origin. It would not make sense that the universe could expand and be infinite. This all ties in with the first part of the article that I wrote yesterday. Again the conclusion would be the same. If this universe is expanding, and ultimately had a starting point, then someone had to start it. And that someone is God. From the words of the great apologists (defender of the faith) Dr. J.P. Moreland, "Bangs have bangers". Here he is talking about the "big bang". So as you can see, just this theory alone has the evidence to support a God that created the universe. It is very interesting to take a look into his creation and see where truth can lead us.
Here is a quote from a natural scientist that I think is a very awesome thing to consider.
" There are no facts yet wrested from the intriguing mysteries of this strange, onrushing cosmos which can in any degree disprove the existence and intelligent activities of an unconditioned, personal God. On the contrary, when as careful scientists we analyze and synthesize the data of the natural world, even by analogical inference, we are observing only the phenomena of the operations of that unseen Being who cannot be found by mere scientific seeking, but who can and did manifest Himself in human form. For science is indeed "watching God work".
Again I want to thank everyone who looks and reads these small articles. I want to thank my Lord Jesus who is in heaven and praying for his creations to come to Him. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to just ask. Thank you all so much. May God guide your path.
If anyone would like some websites to check out, I will put a list up shortly, but here are a couple of very good websites that I usually use to study from.
