[[Creationism]], of course, declares that any observed effect results from the [[creation|creative]] action of [[God]]. In this case, the relevant creative time is Days Two and Four of the [[Days of Creation]].

[[Creationism]], of course, declares that any observed effect results from the [[creation|creative]] action of [[God]]. In 2000, relying primarily on this theory, Don DeYoung, writing in the [[Creation Research Society Quarterly]],<ref name=deYoung>DeYoung DB.

Most [[creation science|creation scientists]], however, prefer to assume an economy of miracles. In that spirit, [[John Hartnett]] has produced a solution that requires no continuing miracle, but derives from a new understanding of the creation and expansion of the heavens.<ref name=Hartnett/> Hartnett's system builds on the earlier work of Carmeli, who in 1996 proposed an extension of Einsteinian relativity to the cosmic scale ([[Cosmological Relativity]]). The Hartnett system, explained more fully in his work ''[[Starlight, Time and the New Physics]]'', predicts that an expanding universe will produce rapidly spinning galaxies and larger systems ''as a consequence of the expansion'' and not due to gravity (or any other force) alone.

The key concept of the Carmeli-Hartnett cosmological relativity system is the description of the cosmos, not as space-time, but as space-mass-velocity. The velocity in view here is the radial velocity of objects in an expanding universe, which is always a function of the distance from the [[center]] of the expansion, as:
