Do the Math

In Six Days of Creation, the age of universe was estimated to be 15 billion years. Schroeder includes a chart in his book, the Science of God, setting forth the duration in time of each day of creation.

Day 1. . . . 24 hours. . . . 8 billion years

Day 2. . . . 24 hours. . . . 4 billion years

Day 3. . . . 24 hours. . . . 2 billion years

Day 4. . . . 24 hours. . . . 1 billion years

Day 5. . . . 24 hours. . . . one-half billion years

Day 6. . . . 24 hours. . . . one-quarter billion years

totaling for the first Six Days of Creation cosmic time equal to 15.75 billion years.

With the additional information provided by the chart and an elementary knowledge of the formulae of quantum physics you could do the math. I am sure you can appreciate the correlation between cosmic time and earth based time. You might even marvel “at how well the universe can be described mathematically” and might even agree with Sir James Jeans that “God is a mathematician.”

When Einstein said “Woe is me” he was expressing his profound regrets that his discoveries, encouragement and his initiative made possible Hiroshima. Yet on this anniversary, we ought to acknowledge that the insights of Einstein also made possible for us to understand the biblical account of the beginning of the universe as told during the first six days of creation in the Book of Genesis.
