comparison of theories to CMBR prediction
Dr. [[John Hartnett]], a creationist physicist, spurred by Humphreys' model, has proposed an alternative [[time dilation]] model, by theorizing the Earth was in a time-dilation field during the first few days of creation, from Earth's point of view, while billions of years passed for the rest of the universe.

According to the Bible, God "stretched out"<ref>For example, {{Bible ref|Isaiah|40:22}}</ref> the heavens (space), and this movement during [[creation week]] caused time to travel faster for those objects, in accordance with [[Albert Einstein|Einstein's]] [[Special Theory of Relativity]], adding to the time dilation caused by [[gravity]], per Humphreys, in accordance with Einstein's [[General Theory of Relativity]].<ref>Hartnett, 2003, Hartnett 2007</ref>

One of the advantages to the Hartnett/Humphreys model is that it could account for the prediction made by big bang theorists in the 1940's - namely the existence and approximate wavelength of cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR). The existence of CMBR was predicted using a big bang model, however CMBR was not detected until over a decade later <ref>Singh, Simon, <u>Big Bang - The Most Important Scientific Discovery of All Time and Why You Need to Know About It</u>, 2004, ISBN 0 00 715252, Harper Perennial</ref>. Similar to the big bang theory, the Hartnett/Humphreys model allows for a large passage of time (other than on Earth), allowing for a similar formation of CMBR. The in-transit theory is less effective at explaining how the prediction of CMBR could have been predicted. This prediction was what popularized the big bang theory over the steady-state theory.
