Many of us think that the Big Bang was the creation event described in Genesis 1:1... a direct miracle. They say, "The new model does not rely on hypothetical fields or particles such as inflation. It suggests that natural quantum fluctuations in space-time, gravitational waves, were sufficient to seed the small density differences that eventually gave rise to galaxies, stars, and planets. These ripples evolve non-linearly, interacting and generating complexity over time, allowing for verifiable predictions with real data." It will be interesting to see how this develops. It still suggests the universe has a beginning and begs the question where would gravitational waves and quantum fluctuations come from and how fine tuned would they need to be to cause a universe that would allow for life?

Timelines tell the story: Part 2

This is another timeline that I put together to help me understand how the New Testament came to be. I know that it is busy, but I think it is worth your taking a few minutes to work through it. As J. Warner Wallace puts it, you can think of this as a chain of custody for the NT. On the left, from the first century are some of the writers of the NT and when they wrote. These represent the primary records.

Next are a group of believers (orange boxes) who represent the next generations who were responsible for taking what was passed to them and passing it along to those that followed. These were the Apostolic fathers who passed along the writings and teachings of Christ’s apostles. God chose to guide humans in deciding what writings He wanted to be in the Bible, and it was not always simple and obvious. The apostolic fathers were all different and emphasized different parts, but believed in the core of the gospel. They each played a part in preserving the NT for us.

In the grey and blue boxes are some of the heresies that were faced by these early believers. The very things that the heretics affirmed and rejected helps to show validity of the Biblical accounts.

I also added in yellow boxes some of the recent archaeological finds that show how orthodox Christianity was believed in early times. Claims that Christianity was created late have a lot to go explain in a very small time.
