Introduction According to the Bible, the earth and its inhabitants were created within six days. On the other hand, evolutionists have adhered to the theory the world was formed from clouds of dust and gases. This theory is known as the nebular hypothesis. Even though, there are proponents for each concept, the big bang theory favors the old-earth secular viewpoint while the “Creator a priori” is more compatible with the young-earth’s viewpoint (Sarfati, 2010, p.1). While these viewpoints have similarities, there are vast differences in the fundamental ideologies of the creation theory and the nebular hypothesis.
Old-Earth Secular View There are differences in the opinions of the origin of the earth as well as when it was formed. As …show more content…
The nebular hypothesis and the six-day creation analysis maintain at some point water covered the earth. According to an article in the Jewish Social Studies (2010), science has found evidence of a catastrophic event occurred that correlates with the biblical flood (Blutinger, p. 80). Additionally, both theories recognize the possibility of the earth’s inhabitants diversifying over time. With the exception of mankind, there are indications that plants, animals, and the galaxies have changed. “The universe has a history: The present is different from the past” (Scott, 1997, p. 265). Scientists have discovered fossils of dinosaurs, mammoths, and multicellular algae that no longer exists. Evolutionists and creationists concur the earth was submerged in water, and the universe has …show more content…
3). On the other hand, six-day creationists have “reliable eyewitness testimony” that demonstrates the history of the planet (Ross, et. al., p. 8). Secondly, astronomers have not been able to fully explain a process by which debris in space actually collapse and from observations, space fragments tend to expand, degrade, or decay (Henry, 2010, p. 5). The nebular theory has difficulty justifying the planet’s origin, therefore its age concept is unreliable. Finally, The Big Bang Theory has to depend on other propositions to expound on the origin of man. The explanation that the galaxy was formed by clouds and gases is not sufficient for humankind. By contrast, biblical records are indicators man was made according to Divine plans. Six-day creationists’ data is clearly documented and proven in the religious and scientific realm, while the evolutionist have unresolved
