Debate:Is Relativity in direct conflict with the Genesis account? (view source)

In relativity there is no such thing as absolute time. This removes the possibility of simultaneity of events, and means that any sequential ordering of events will not necessarily be agreed by all observers. Different observers (depending on their speed and location) would disagree about the duration, timing and order of events. This fact means that the veracity of any historical account is essentially limited to one particular observer at one particular point in time. The implications of this is that a strict reading of the Genesis (or for that matter any other biblical) account, must be incompatible with any relativistic account of the same process.
