| | Furthermore, the last objection of uniformitarian astronomers to the creation model is about to fall. Specifically, uniformitarians insist that [[Adam]] could not have seen the [[star]]s in the sky 6100 years ago, because the light from the most-distant objects in the sky could not have reached the earth even in 6100 years, much less in the two days between the creation of the stars and the creation of Adam. But according to cosmological relativity, clocks on earth ran more slowly, by many orders of magnitude, than did clocks at the edge of the cosmos. Specifically, they ran slowly enough for the light from the distant objects to reach the earth at the recorded time, regardless of their distance. This model requires the cosmos to have physically stretched after its creation—but [[God]] in fact said that this was done.<ref>{{Bible ref|book=Genesis|chap=1}}</ref> | | Furthermore, the last objection of uniformitarian astronomers to the creation model is about to fall.

| | + | The increasing weight of contrary evidence continues to assail all three pillars of the evolutionary paradigm. This might explain the raft of adverse attention that the evolutionists are paying to projects like Ben Stein's documentary, and to a specialized graduate school seeking to relocate to, and win accreditation in, another State within the [[United States]]. |
| | + | It also explains the continued funding of various projects seeking to gather evidence in ''support'' of the evolutionary paradigm. Some of these projects, like Project [[SETI]], are complete wastes of time. Others, like the Hadron Supercollider, stand a remote chance of finding something useful, but are not likely to find anything that is, as lawyers like to say, dispositive. Happily, some other projects, like [[NASA]]'s ongoing program of robotic deep-space exploration, hold great promise to yield a wealth of data—but these data are likely to militate for creation and ''not'' for the evolutionary paradigm. |
