I admit that I believe in creation and that God is responsible for the existence of the universe. It takes more faith to believe in the Big Bang Theory than to believe in creation for various reasons. First off, according to Newton, anything that is in motion tends to stay in motion unless it is acted upon by another object or a force. Since the Big bang explosive expansion would have been a hyperlight speed explosion, gravity could not have drawn the particles together since it isn’t powerful enough. That means the universe should have never formed.
I have a theory about the formation of the universe. I call it the Big Shift Theory. The universe could very well have been shifted from one dimension to this one nearly as large as it is today. That would explain why it appears to be billions of years old and why there is microwave radiation all around. This theory would also satisfy those that believe in String Theory and the theory that there are many dimensions. It would also explain why angels, Jesus, and even some aliens just appear and disappear at will. They shift from one dimension to another.
Let’s consider that the universe is part of an interdimensional system of existence. This would allow miracles to happen since so many things can’t be explained by natural means. It would explain why people go to Heaven or Hell after they die. Their souls would shift from this dimension to either the Heavenly dimension or the Hell dimension. That would also explain why astronomers have never seen Heaven through their telescopes or why drillers have never found Hell below the earth, as far as we know.
Ghosts may be interdimensional too. They have to be distinguished between spirits of people and things I call phantom projections. Phantom projections would be the energy emitted by people that is locked into a location that repeats like a natural hologram. Battlefields often have phantom projections and one such phenomenon happened in the Whyte House in Colonial Williamsburg when a woman was so angry that it was captured by the staircase she was ascending. It was seen and heard as a sonic impression years before she died.
Getting back to the formation of the universe. If it formed as so many scientists believe it did, there is no way a telescope could look back to when the explosion happened. That would mean the universe would have to be over twice as large as what can be seen since an explosion would have scattered particles in all directions. There would have to be a center of the explosion from which everything expanded. Once astronomers locate that center by determining that everything is going away from there, they will finally be able to determine the apparent age of the universe. It may be, according to their calculations, half as old as predicted. For them to say they will have a telescope that will be able to look back in time to when it was 500 million years old would mean they think, if it were possible, they could see when the explosion took place. As stated, that would mean the universe is over twice as large as what can be observed since the explosion wouldn’t be in one direction.
I choose to believe God created or possibly shifted the universe into existence. That would make the universe more orderly and allow God to confound scientists who believe something is an established fact who later find out they are wrong.
