We can’t see the stars for the nebulae – it’s all just theoretical -by David Rives

Why should you believe in creation, and not evolution? I mean, scientifically speaking. Haven’t we proven that Evolution is a fact?

Evolution is a very loose term. It could refer to dozens of things, but today, let’s look at stellar nurseries, as stars are born into existence… You see, the theory goes something like this, although I’m going to try to simplify a little: When a lot of gas in space begins to contract in on itself, eventually that gas balls up, and starts to form a dense, tight ball of gas called a star. This happens trillions upon trillions of times, until you’ve got a nice, populated universe. However, we’ve already run into a problem because – we’ve never seen a star form!

Am I saying that entire section of our science textbooks is all just theoretical? Yes, that’s exactly what I am saying.

Since I started in apologetics ministry I’ve had the opportunity to work with large observatory class telescopes and I’ve also taken lots of photos of space. I once even caught a supernova which is a pretty rare event. However, the only examples of supposed star formation that you will observe are when cloudy (or nebulous) areas of space start to clear, and we spot a star for the first time. – We can’t see the stars for the nebulae.

Let me give you an analogy of what I’m talking about: – let’s say that you and I are driving down the road in a dense fog, and suddenly the fog lifts, and then we see a massive mountain ahead of us. The mountain did not just magically form in the last 10 minutes; it was just revealed to us when the fog dissipated.

This is just the proverbial ‘tip of the iceberg’ – the evolutionary problem gets a lot worse. It is a physical law in science that gas in a vacuum expands. That means that gasses are going to always be on the move away from each other. They will never compress together and form a star. The mutual gravity of the particles in those regions of space simply cannot bring everything together, so it all slowly dissipates into a larger and larger cloud.

Now, proponents of the Big Bang have one rescuing device claiming that maybe under special circumstances, there’s an exception. We would need a lot of exceptions to explain how trillions of stars formed in only 14 billion years. They can give it all of the time in the world, but they shouldn’t expect physical laws to change just to salvage their theory. That’s invoking a miracle to make it work.

Let me conclude: I am a born again Christian, I think miracles can occur but I don’t claim this to be ‘science’. These proponents of the Big Bang can teach it as their own mysterious religion if they want, but if you’re following the scientific evidence, you should stick to the facts and leave stellar evolution out of the picture.

That is Just one more scientific reason that you shouldn’t believe in cosmic evolution. It takes a LOT of faith.
