He is distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of South Carolina-Lancaster, where he taught astronomy and physics for over 26 years.
Since January, 2013, he has been the staff astronomer at Answers in Genesis in northern Kentucky.
...always enjoyed & informed by Dr Faulkner. Thank you
I looked at the stars at the age of 4 in west Texas! Clear skies and a dark skies area! Hence, Night Signs, by Aquilla Fleetwood, youtube!
And ernst haeckels work was proven fraudulent but it's still in the textbooks today.
God reveals Himself through His Word. And adding even one more hour to the six days of creation inspires a form of evolution and deception, contradicting the Biblical genealogy and prophecies of God's word.
What if God, in eternity past, conceived the cosmos fully complete, in a form that is billions of years old? Then when he spoke each day into existence, everything He made, formed and created proceeded forward, including light in real time. That would satisfy the six days of creation and not contradict Biblical genealogies and prophecies of God's word.
Can this be proven scientifically? Perhaps some evidence may exist. In a recent discovery within the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation, the Planck data confirms what the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe data reveals, that our Earth and solar system may be cosmically aligned. And according to cosmologists, one thing is evident, the alignments with our Earth and solar system somehow exist! Moreover, because these features do not fit the Standard Model of Cosmology, scientists dubbed it the Axis of Evil because it can destroy everything in their Big Bang hypothesis. However, instead of an Axis of Evil. Could these alignments show an actual Axis of Beginning of a completely new cosmological theory, conceivably, leading to our Creator guiding the exploration?
"And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:" ACTS 2:17.
The Earth is where the Biblical story begins. Our Salvation is what His story is about, and Jesus, the Word of God, is the story's hero.
9:29 Does Danny occasionally remind you of Robert Duvall? Look closely at his mannerisms, even his voice is similar. 😀
Jesus is Lord
Stars are angels
Quite a lot of fuzzy thinking there!
He has all the compelling scientific evidence that’s been painstakingly uncovered and understood over the entirety of our civilisations at his disposal. This body of knowledge is independently verifiable, openly criticised and challenged, supported by the rigours the scientific method, peer reviewed, and so on, yet he’s chosen to go with some passages from a book with no evidence attached to it at.
Where’s the critical thinking, scepticism and scrutiny? Where’s the commitment to the truth, rationality and reason?
He’s at best been fooled by his own personal beliefs, and at worst he’s in complete denial of the facts.
Please, enlighten us. What "facts" are you referring to?
Please share any scientific evidence obtained by the scientific method supporting evolution, or a spherical spinning earth!
@@dmahar58 Even if I tried, would you understand it?
@@profphilbell2075
I do not understand nonsense, so until you have Empirical Scientific Evidence of the claims you make, you have nothing worth anyone's time! 😑
The flat earth is observable, measurable, testable, and repeatable.
This incredible creation was designed by intelligence, a "knower", who departs information to its creation.
@David Anewman What truth?
Earth is not a planet. Gravity isn’t caused by mass. Wake up.
You plucked that little bit of wisdom from where?
Prof Phil Bell classified.
@@nicholashpitts So what is Earth if it's not a planet? And what causes gravity?
Prof Phil Bell gravity doesn’t exist. Mass has orientation. So does your system. If the apple fell in the water would newton have discovered buoyancy?
Prof Phil Bell dinosaurs as you know them never existed either. Large birds, cats and mastodons yes dinosaurs no.
my friend, in English you mixed 2 different "days", 24h yaum ("day") was divided: half of it is leyl (night) and another half is nahar (again "day"). In English ½day=day, in Aramaic/Arabic ½yaum=nahar.
Then, COULD "yaum" mean longer period? Answer is yes: beware noway you can escape the Day of Standing, standing in sweat for 50 000 years, only for Judgement to begin, not to end.
Then, SHOULD "yaum" of creation be similar case? NO, and more clever question "why not shorter than 24h and why 6 days and not 1?" And if one think "such labour and planning need time" - then I have no time for atheists, and if one thinks "to teach us how to act" - then yes, I think it is the ONLY reason. And I tried to avoid 'ONLY', but without I affraid it is blasphemy.
And may Allah guide us to the Truth, give us courage to follow and let us be in His Shade the Day no other shade will exist, the Day of 50 000 years...
Danny,
Denying the « raqia shamyim » (firmament of the
heaven(s)), and attempt to twist its true meaning to fit your preferred model
of reality, has got a name, and it is called eisegesis. You felt so much attacked
in your personal pride, that you felt obliged, to smear my name and difame my
public image, with no shame.
I quote you, after having been confronted to truth :
And again :
< Her comment was in response to this OP. You can scroll
down to this OP and then scroll down through the comments to see the context.
I'm not an adm for this group, so I did't give her the boot. She was abusive
and frequently violated the rules of this group. When I pointed this out to her
that she had violated the rules, she responded with insults. Yesterday she
brought something up that wasn't the subject. When I responded to what she
wrote, she came back with the accusation that I was changing the subject and
needed to get back to the subject. Again, this was after she had changed the
subject. Yesterday she repeatedly called me a liar, sometimes in all caps
(again, a rule violation). Yesterday she accused me of mocking the Bible. She
frequently responded to serious posts with a laughing meme that I took as a
mocking response. I finally concluded that she was either unhinged or a troll.>
And some more :
Verily, verily, I did not come for division. I love and
trust and try my best to hang to the most high and follow the examples of the
prophets through scripture. I acknowledge that He made this realm of existence
FOR us, and the luminaries of the firmament shine UPON the FACE of the earth
(genesis 1.15&17). Limited human angular resolution is what you’d find out
to create the illusion of a bending horizon, on the z axis of the 3D
perspective. Indeed, I fully recognise that God made me so : limited in my
visual perception. This also leads to the logical confirmation, that all
luminaries observed from a standing position on the fixed earth, sun and moon
comprised, are close to view. Any optical apparatus will only magnify what is
already near, approaching it to view (inverse microscope).
Bear in mind, my friend, that I usually wear my armor of
God, as per suggested in Ephesians 6:10-18, and that the most high is a God of
Justice. You have no chance against that, and maybe that could explain your
reactions in my regards, through our different exchanges of the past 2 weeks or
so, and the choice of words you intentionally pushed onto me.
What do you fear, Danny ? I am not your enemy. I
encourage you pray for discernment. We all fail and make mistakes. How does one
rise again ?
I’ll leave you with Matthew 7 :7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and
you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
Amen and amen...

"If you can't trust it on the history of the world, can you trust it on the future of the world?" That's a category mistake. The biblical witness to our redemption in Christ, resurrection to Glory, and the Spirit empowering his disciples -- all of it is not the same as the Bible's theologically rich account of origins, which adapts literary conventions of the time to speak truth about humanity and our relationship to God. It's sad that Young Earth Creationists like this guy are telling students that they have no reason to believe the Bible's testimony about our salvation in Christ unless they also believe in Young Earth Creationism. Ridiculous and irresponsible.
If you study the literary constructs, Genesis is clearly historical narrative, not allegory or poetry. And more importantly, Jesus referred to a literal Adam and Eve from "the beginning of creation", and Jesus, who is part of the triune Godhead, would know, since God wrote with His OWN finger on stone that He created in 6 days. To discount the historical origin detailed in the bible is to discount the rest of it, because it makes Jesus, who is God, wrong. And if Jesus, who is God, is wrong, then He isn't God at all, and the rest of the bible is wrong. Sure you can believe Jesus is savior and NOT believe in the historicity of Genesis, but you can't do it logically or rationally. But, the qualifications of salvation is confessing your sin and calling on Him as savior, so belief in biblical creation is not a requirement for salvation, but the truth is, the history recorded in Genesis being a literal account is directly linked to the savior, and the promise of redemption. If you can find even ONE lie in the bible (which you can't), then you can't logically trust ANY of it, because it claims to be the inspired Words of God, who CANNOT lie.
It's a principal Yeshua himself taught, John 3.12.
And as an aside, the whole flat earther campaign is a massive disinfo, false flag operation, using proxies like Mike Heiser
You talk about it being important that you look at the context in which something is in.
I fully agree.
So why do young creationists then dismiss dating evidence with silly excuses about assumptions, false rings etc etc
Any fossil,sample,thing that geologists, palaeontologist,dendrochronologist etc will use multiple dating technics on one sample and use the context of where the sample was found to help corroborate the dates.
So if context is important when interpreting the bible why is it dismissed when interpreting the age of a sample?
Carbon dating has been proven to not be accurate
@@candyr85 only when creationists use it dishonestly. Even dendrochronology debunks the young Earth.
The earth is flat!! Accept it. I pray God corrects you
No. We have cameras on our rockets that clearly show that Earth is a sphere.
@@profphilbell2075 that's idiotic. Are you saying that using your full brain capabilities that you think that rocket cam footage of the earth is real?
@@BennettStevens22 Yes. I inspect the cameras during the rocket assembly including the ones in the payload bay as well as those on Earth Observation satellites. So given that I rely on the photographs, of course they are real. Why would they not be?
I also teach orbital mechanics. This cannot happen if Earth is not a sphere.
@@profphilbell2075 Phil its actually hurting me inside. I feel physically bad for you. It's very sad that you cant accept the truth and salvage the title of intelligent person instead you would rather be a dishonest zealot in denial. Good luck mate
@@BennettStevens22 Please don’t feel bad for me. I have had an incredibly rewarding life as a scientist; intellectually, financially and spiritually. Working at the cutting edge of science is a privilege that I’m always grateful I have been rewarded with. Being a science educator is also rewarding. I would say you should feel bad for those who have not had the opportunities that I have had.
As an astronomer criacionist, you have to believe the flat earth, please read de BOOK OF ENOCH, just like genesis, it reveals and explains in more detailed way our beatiful flat earth.
You have been deceived.
It's not a christian view to hold. No Christians have held this view until the past 200 years. Samuel Rowbotham originated this view in 1849. None of the church fathers nor Jesus and the disciples nor any of the prophets believe this view. This is a novel view and a false teaching of scripture. The book of Enoch is inconsistent with teachings of the Torah and the rest of scripture. You shouldn't be basing your whole view of reality on an apocalyptic and apocryphal text. If you're going to believe the earth is flat, then you must also believe that the Earth is a square "angles standing at the four corners of the earth" and you must belief that it is a square footstool "the earth is my footstool" and you must also believe that we are living on a square-circle footstool "He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers." Also you must believe that we are living on a square-circle footstool suspended in air "he suspends the earth over nothing." Also you must believe that we are living on a square-circle footstool suspended in air with pillar foundations "it is I who hold its pillars firm" etc.
It's not a historical view to hold. Ptolemy, Aristotle, and Eratosthenes are all prominent Greek minds that proved the earth is round. Read their experiments and evidence and evaluate it for yourself. Once it became the consensus over 2000 years ago (323 BCE-31 BCE), there really hasn't been a debate since.
It's not an intelligent view to hold. Think about the shear number of people in the world that would have to be lying about this from hundreds of different cultures and over thousands of years. You need to take a break from the people that you spend your time with who are creating this conformation bias loop. Expose yourself to people you disagree with and actually try to understand reality from their perspective.
And it's certainly not a scientific view to hold. The hypotheses and assertions of flat earth are not based on scientific knowledge but on an unjustifiable skepticism towards the mainstream consensus. That's why it gets called science denial.
