The book is close to the idea I have on why light distant is really not the long span of time as we are told by Godless science.... What also awesome new physics shows the earth may really be at the center of the whole universe.In this new though space is moving faster and faster and the matter itself is moving within itself but also being dragged along by space ...

"Why wont atheist accept this explanation..."

Because it doesn't appear to be in English, for one thing.



And your website doesn't realise where it is tripping itself up, either.



Read it with a critical eye and spot the flaws.

Behe claims irreducible complexity, but is proven wrong at every step. Lisle says the Oort cloud is a fantasy, but does not explain 20,000 meteorites that hit the earth every year, or Schumaker-Levi. Wells says that he does not have to give any valid explanation for his ideas he has to only ridicule other ideas if he does not like them. One more fantasy in the creation myths is nothing new.



But Genesis history is crucial to the logic of the gospel (a good world, ruined by sin, to be restored in the future)



You have some one beginning with a conclusion and he calls himself a scientist, how absurd.



talked about facing God to give an account



Again a "scientist" talking with a supernatural being. Monumentally absurd.

Creationists are getting really desperate, aren't they?



To answer the question: Because it's not supported by the actual data. That's not "awesome new physics," that's a distortion of one observation.



If you're at any point in space it appears that everything is moving away from you. It's not just true on earth. By that logic, every point in the universe is the center.

First off, any link I can't click on does not exist for me, so I did not read this stuff. However, since you do not have any title for "the book" or who wrote it, I am going to assume that does not exist either.

Now, run this idea past any random selection of CHRISTIAN astronomers and see how far it flies. (Note, I said random, not just "cherry-picking" creationists.) This sounds like a fascinating demonstration of what happens when you get a delusional creationist overdosing on psychedelic drugs.

Blessings on your Journey!

It's not us atheists not accepting that explanation. It's the entire scientific community not accepting it!



Why are you actually believing it. The fact that he is a Ph.D. doesn't make it true. His opinion is against the general consensus and therefore most likely not true.

He isn't seen as a scientist by most scientists but as a pseudo-scientist, and for good reasons in my opinion.

No. This is false. The earth isn't at the center of our Solar System, or Galaxy, let alone the whole Universe(s).

In a nutshell:



Light travels at a certain speed, and as everything that travels, it arrives depending on it's speed.

i have to agree with this

there are many things about the planet that science has gotten wrong, it is the center of the universe

and earth is hollow, i know it sounds crazy but ive seen it personally, and it is mentioned in the bible

"the idea I have"

Present a paper... the SCIENTIFIC way.

Don't be embarrassed... no one will laugh at you ;)
