Science and the Bible Part II-Reverse movement of time

“But do not ignore this one fact, beloved , that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day”(II Peter 3:8) “Behold God is great, and we know Him not, the number of His years is unsearchable” (Job 36:26). This Bible verse teaches us the limitation of time. Before God, man’s one day is equivalent to a thousand years. Also, man’s a thousand years is equivalent to one day. Here we see the ‘compressibility’ and ‘extensibility’ of time. I . e. Time moves backward as well as forward. Before my Saviour and the Lord of all, Jesus Christ, who is ‘Alpha and Omega’ (Revelation 21:6), Time moves forward, backward; (Isaiah 38:8) and stops (Revelation 21:6). Time is comprehensible, if space is sufficiently large. Let us examine an axiom. Consider 6 men, viz. A, B, C, D, E and F are arranged to stand on a straight line in East-West direction, as shown in the following diagram. The distance between each of them is one light second; i.e. the distance travel

God is Light

“This is the message we have heard from Him (Jesus) and proclaim to you that God is light and in Him is no darkness” (I John 1:5).           The Bible teaches us that God is light.           What does science say about light?         Light is the most difficult one the scientists came across. It is an elusive question. Scientists say that light is energy. By definition, energy is the ability to do work and it occupies no space. i.e. energy needs no space to occupy. While all other energies such as sound, magnetism, electricity etc are easily comprehensible, the scientific world grope in the darkness to comprehend      light, as explained below.              a. Light - Matter or Energy?  (dual nature)           Light shows many distinct characteristic phenomena like reflection, refraction, rectilinear propagation, diffraction, interference, photoelectric effect, polarization etc. Many scientists put forward many theories to explain light. But none of them could satisfactori
