:: In relativistic terms, it matters not a jot that these things have happened; given some reasonably distant location, the Genesis Events might be turned on their head. The fact is therefore, that any claim that the Gensis account is the one true account of the creation cannot possibly be compatible with relativity, as the Genesis account is purely tied to one point of view, namely the earth, and is therefore absolute and not relative. If I were a being travelling near the speed of light, for example, in my timescale, if the Genesis account is correct, it would have occured a few minutes ago, not 6000 years as the young earth creationists believe. It may be that our galaxy has a huge gravitational field relative to some other location, in which case it might be that they would argue that (if indeed we both agreed there were a creation event, and agreed that it was roughly the one in the bible) it did not occur 6000 years ago, but that this event occured 6 million years ago. You get the point?--[[User:Felix|Felix]] 05:23, 20 April 2007 (EDT)

I took enough physics classes that relativity only matters when something is going very, very fast relative to an observer. As the narative takes place on earth, along with two of the characters and the attention of the third, nothing is moveing fast enough. - BornAgainBrit
