In earlier posts, and in my documentary film God: A Matter of Science & History, I used the radiation afterglow and the ripples within the afterglow as pieces of scientific evidence supporting the existence of God, and the reason that I did was because I thought that those two things supported the expanding universe, which is supported by scripture. After studying scripture, reviewing old debates between Kent Hovind and old-earth, pro-evolution Christians, and thinking deeply about it, I have come to conclude that the radiation afterglow and the ripples within the afterglow support the Big Bang theory, which is really part of the Evolution religion.
When I watch really smart Christians who've adopted old-earth, evolutionary ideas deny the authority of God's word, when I watch them say that death brought man into the world instead of man bringing death into the world like scripture says, and when I watch guys like Hugh Ross say in a televised debate that God couldn't make the distinction between the sun, moon, and the stars versus the light on the fourth day of creation (see 48:20-48:39 on the video), I realize that they have departed from the faith. It's no longer an issue of science; it is challenging the reliability of God's eyewitness account of how he created the Earth, saying that God didn't know what he was looking at even though God was the only one there.
Hugh Ross, and others like him, fail to do what Paul told Timothy to do regarding false science:
1 Timothy 6:20-21: "Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, which some have professed and in so doing have departed from the faith.
Grace be with you all."
Notice what the KJV says.
1 Timothy 6:20-21: "O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen."
In March, scientists found gravitational waves within a cloud of microwave radiation, which supposedly confirmed that there was a big bang. I used that discovery in a blog post as a piece of scientific evidence showing that the entire universe came into existence out of nothing in an instant like the bible says. However, in September, Time magazine's online website published an article titled "Big Bang 'Proof' Might Be Space Dust, Study Finds". We read the following in that article:
"This past Spring, a research team called Bicep reported that by using a powerful telescope, the Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization 2 (BICEP2), they could observe ripples in the sky that they believed to be gravitational waves from the cosmic event that we have come to know as the Big Bang.
If true, the findings would be monumental, since it would be close to absolute evidence of the Big Bang and a theory called cosmic inflation, which suggests that the world underwent a rapid expansion, bursting into existence in less than a second.
But a new paper published Monday in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics suggests that there was probably a lot of space dust interference in the original findings, and it’s unlikely that the Bicep researchers had a clear enough picture to confirm they indeed saw waves from the origins of the universe."
Because of the fact that they support the secular theory of the Big Bang, they aren't supported by Scripture, and they don't appear to be true, I do not endorse radiation afterglow, ripples within the afterglow, or the recent "discovery" of gravitational waves as pieces of evidence for God's existence.
The End Is Coming
I woke up this morning, and found an article from the Fox News website titled "Israel's Shimon Peres proposes new peace initiative 'UN of Religions' to pope at Vatican visit" in my Facebook news feed. In it, we read the following:
"Retired Israeli President Shimon Peres has proposed a new global peace initiative to Pope Francis: A 'United Nations of Religions,' given that most wars today have religious, not nationalistic, undercurrents.
The Vatican said Peres pitched the initiative during a 45-minute audience Thursday in the Apostolic Palace. The two men last met when Francis invited the then-Israeli president and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas to pray for peace together in the Vatican gardens on June 8."
In the article "Peres proposes ‘UN for religions’ to pope at Vatican" by The Jerusalem Post, Peres said the following:
"In an interview with the Catholic Magazine Famiglia Cristiana, Peres called on Francis to leverage his respect to create an interfaith organization to curb religious violence.
'What we need is an organization of United Religions... as the best way to combat terrorists who kill in the name of faith,' Peres said. 'What we need is an unquestionable moral authority who says out loud, "No, God does not want this and does not allow it."' After meeting with Peres, Francis held a 30-minute closed door meeting with Jordanian Prince El-Hassan bin Talal, who sponsors the Royal Institute for Interfaith Studies to promote religious dialogue. Lombardi said that meeting dovetailed into the day’s topic of interfaith cooperation and peace."
Your eyes don't deceive you, people. We are looking at the beginning of the One-World religion, and we are approaching a world where people like me will be considered societal outcasts.
While Pope Francis has spent a lot of his public time trying to build bridges between the different religions, there is one type of religious people he refuses to try and build bridges with: Fundamentalists who think their religion is true.
In the article "Pope Condemns Religious Fundamentalism, Middle East Violence" by Israelnationalnews.com, Pope Francis said this:
"A fundamentalist group, even if it kills no one, even it strikes no one, is violent. The mental structure of fundamentalism is violence in the name of God."
In other words, someone who trusts Jesus when he claimed to be the only way to heaven is considered to be violent even if the person has never hurt anyone.
In the article "Vatican Astronomer Calls Young Earth Creation Beliefs 'Almost Blasphemous'" on Christian News, we read the following:
Guy
Consolmagno is Coordinator for Public Relations at the Vatican
Observatory, which is an astronomical institute operated by the Roman
Catholic Church. A popular speaker and author, Consolmagno often
comments on matters pertaining to religion and science.
In an interview last week with Australia’s Fairfax Media, Consolmagno forcefully disparaged the young earth, literal interpretation of the biblical creation account, comparing it to blasphemy.
“It’s almost blasphemous theology,” Consolmagno alleged, according to the Brisbane Times. “It’s certainly not the tradition of Catholicism and never has been and it misunderstands what the Bible is and it misunderstands what science is.”
The papal astronomer said he rejects the literal interpretation of Genesis and instead finds truth through “science.”
“Science is a way of getting close to creation, to really getting intimate with creation, and it’s a way of getting intimate with the creator,” he claimed. “It’s an act of worship.”
In the interview, Consolmagno said the Bible is not supposed to be science book.

'Science goes out of date—it’s supposed to,” he insisted. 'Now, if you’re turning the Bible into a science book, then you’re saying you should throw it out after three years. … The very concept of a science book didn’t exist when the Bible was written.'"
In other words, according to Consolmagno, followers of Jesus who trust scripture when it says that God created the universe and everything in it in six 24-hour days roughly 6,000 years ago are actually following blasphemous theology. He's talking about me.
As I watch the world continue to develop and head in the direction that it's going in, I can see that there may come a day in my lifetime where I will be imprisoned for calling Jesus my Lord and Savior, and I may or may not live long enough to see the One-World government and religion come into being. The only thing I know for sure is that these recent events are making me more vigilant than before, and it is my prayer that we'll all be more vigilant in looking out for the signs of Christ's coming to rapture us.
