Hubble Confirms Bible's Divine Authenticity
Our Beautiful Earth Today
Our Earth in the Beginning
Our Earth in the Beginning
Earth as we know it and have viewed from space is a very beautiful planet teeming with life of all kinds. However the earth was not always this way. In the beginning it was drastically different then how we see it now. In the year 1513 BCE Moses, the writer of Genesis recorded this profound statement about the Earths appearance that remained a mystery until 2004.
Genesis 1:1 Now the earth was formless and desolate, and there was darkness upon the surface.....
Hubble images from a 2004 Hubble discovery reveals how planets form in the same fashion as described by Moses

Our Earth in the Beginning
In 2009 when I was doing research for Hubble Reveals Creation I stumbled upon an intriguing discovery that the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes made back in 2004. What they discovered from this deep space telescope is that planets like earth form inside thick clouds of star dust called protoplanetary disk. What they discovered took me by surprise, because being a student of the Bible I realized that their discovery corresponded exactly to what Moses had recorded 3500 years earlier about the earth. He stated that in the beginning that the earth was formless, desolate, and shrouded in darkness!
They Observed what Moses Described!

The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990 by NASA and a dedicated team of scientist who are on an insatiable quest to the stars. During its decades of observation it has looked back nearly 14-billion years in time and taken over 1.5-million images of the universe to give us a composite view of how the universal was formed. It was also paired up with the Spitzer Deep Space Telescope in 2004 to discover how planets form in the same fashion as described in Genesis confirming it to be scientifically accurate. The Hubble images reveal that planets are born from dense clouds of star dust.

The Spitzer Deep Space Telescope, formerly the Space Infrared Telescope Facility, is an infrared space telescope launched in 2003, that was deactivated when operations ended on January 30, 2020. While it was active, in 2004 it made a great contribution on discovering how planets form like the earth was formed inside a protoplanetary disk 4.5-billion years ago.
Earth's Beginning was Dark and Chaotic
From a Cloud of Star Dust to Sunlight
Since the launch of the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes scientist have discovered that solar systems form from Nebula. A nebula, like the Carina Nebula is an enormous cloud of dust and gas occupying the space between stars and acting as a nursery for new stars. In the dark, cold interior columns of dust new stars form. In the process of star formation, a disk around the proto-star slowly accretes onto the star’s surface. Inside the disk of dust is where planets are born in darkness until they suck up all the dust.
Early Earth in a Dark & Formless Condition
Moons circle planets, and planets circle stars. Now, astronomers have learned that planets may also circle celestial bodies almost as small as planets. NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has spotted a dusty disk of planet-building material around an extraordinarily low-mass brown dwarf, or "failed star." The brown dwarf in NASA's discovery shows that in the early stages of planet formation, planets start out as nothing more than formless clumps of dust and rock in complete darkness.
Earth Emerged from Darkness as it Matured
Middle Stage of Planet Formation
In the middle stage of planet formation this artist's rendition of the 1 million-year-old star system UX Tau A, located about 450 light-years away shows how over time the planets suck up all the dust. Observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope showed a gap in the dusty disk swirling around the system's central star. Astronomers suspect that the formation of one or multiple planets carved the space in this disk. This gap is huge, if it were transported to our solar system, it would range from Mercury to Pluto, researchers have said.
Later Stages of Planet Formation
In 2004 it was observed that rocky planets arise out of large clouds of dust that envelop young stars. Dust particles collide and stick together until a planet eventually forms. Sometimes the accumulating bodies crash together and shatter. Debris from these collisions collects into giant doughnut-shaped discs, the centers of which may be carved out by orbiting planets. With time, the discs fade and a smaller, stable debris disc, like the comet-filled Kuiper Belt in our own solar system, is all that is left. "Spitzer has established the first direct link between planets and discs,"
Inspired Words Witten without Scientific Knowledge
Divine Truth
When Moses penned the first few verses of the book of Genesis he had no space telescope data or astronomy history to guide him to record what he wrote. Yet what he wrote in a few simple statements corresponds exactly to what the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes discovered 3500 years latter in 2004 on how planets like earth form.
These simples statements are external evidence of the Bible's Divine origin as God moved Moses to record his words in detail that Moses could not have possibly understood since he had no scientific knowledge of these facts. Only through Divine inspiration could Moses have wrote in simple detail the words that describe how planets are born from a formless, desolate state shrouded in darkness.
Only through Divine inspiration could he have recorded that this period of dense darkness would be followed by light. The scientific facts provided by the discoveries of the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes externally confirm the Bible's Divine authenticity. There is simply no other explanation of how Moses obtained this information on planet formation!
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, 2. Now the earth was formless and desolate, and there was darkness upon the surface of the watery deep, and God's active force was moving over the surface of the waters. 3. And God said: "Let there be light." Then there was light.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth
Scientist have Discovered that the Universe had a Beginning as Moses Stated
The theory of a Hot Big Bang is the most widely accepted hypothesis for the origin of the universe, but it still leaves many questions unanswered. How and why did the universe expand? What caused the galaxies to form? But, perhaps the most daunting question is: "What existed before the Big Bang?" 3500 years ago Moses told us at Genesis 1:1 who created the universe, but he left out the fine details. Since 1990 we have been getting the fine details through the lens of the Hubble telescope, and our understanding will get even clearer with the discoveries that are now being made by the James Web Telescope!
Hubble vs James Webb's Field of View
The Hubble Telescope has looked back to within 480 million years from the beginning of the universe. The James Webb Telescope is able to look back to 200 millions years from the beginning. In 34 years Hubble has filmed an explosive event as stars, quasars, super nova's, neutron stars and other phenomena came to life that transpired over nearly 14-billion years. That 34 years of filming time equates to 0.00000025% of 14-billion years which is compared to watching a movie speed up thousands of times its normal speed. What does that tell us about the big bang theory? Could it be that we are looking at this explosive event from a distorted point of view?
Was it One Bang or Multiple Bangs?
The Big Bang, was it really one big bang? Here is some food for thought. What would you see if you filmed a 14-minute fireworks display then play it back at normal speed? You would see a series of individual explosions, or bangs of light over a 14-minute time frame. However if you were to speed up the film thousands of times its normal speed you would only see a single bang in less than a second. The reality of it is that the explosive event was not a single explosion but a series of explosions over a 14-minute time frame, but because your view had been distorted by a condensed time frame it appeared as one big bang when it really wasn't.
When the Universe began how did an Explosions of Energy Result in Beautiful Design?
Intelligent Design Built in from the Start
As man explores the universe with the Hubble, James Webb and other telescopes, it becomes apparent that there is order in the design of the universe and evidence of a Grand Designer. But, when some look at the Big Bang theory, they may wonder, “How can you get orderly design out of an immense explosion of energy?” Have you ever been to a fireworks display? What did you see? You saw an explosion of raw energy in the form of gunpowder, yet it resulted in a beautiful organized display of color and design. Fireworks (devices) take many forms to produce the four primary effects: noise, light, smoke, and floating materials.
Fireworks were originally invented by the Chinese for entertainment purposes. This was a natural extension of the Chinese invention of gunpowder. In China, they were first made by fireworks masters who were well-respected for their knowledge of the many complex techniques used to create truly dazzling fireworks displays. Yes, complex techniques required by skilled craftsmen are necessary to create the right effects, not just some gunpowder packed into a rocket and exploded. For example, pyrotechnic compounds are required to produce specific colors and effects such as the Peony, Chrysanthemum, Dahlia, Roman Candle, Palm, Horsetail, Spider, Fish, and many others.
Fireworks are a Controlled Explosion of Design
If the beginning of the universe began with a big bang of energy, as the theory suggests, it was not a disorganized explosion like a keg of gun powder exploding on a universal scale. Hubble and Spitzer, and now the James Webb Telescopes now reveal that there is order in the universe, although it appears it emanated from an explosive beginning, much like a beautiful exploding fireworks display. It appears to have been controlled and organized by technical and creative design.
We are now witnessing, for the first time in human history, as a result of high-powered space telescopes, an explosive display of beautiful design that gives astronomers the same thrill they must have received when they witnessed their first fireworks display as a child. No, we do not fully understand how the universe came about any more than a child fully knows the inner workings of fireworks. When we see the images delivered to us from space and the variety of galaxies, stars, nebula, quasars, neutron stars, black holes, supernovas, and other cosmic effects, we can only imagine that these creative displays of energy were conceived and prepared by a Superior Craftsman and not just some random event. Our understanding of the universe will only get clearer over time with the James Web Telescope and other technical advancements by man.
The Universe is expanding exponentially, will it expand forever?
Our expanding Universe
The American astronomer Edwin Hubble made the observations in 1925, proving that there is a direct relationship between the speeds of distant galaxies and their distances from Earth. The observation that galaxies are moving away from the Earth at speeds proportional to their distance has traditionally been known as Hubble’s Law.
The universe encompasses everything in existence, from the smallest atom to the largest galaxy; since forming some 13.7 billion years ago, it has been expanding exponentially and may be infinite in its scope. The part of the universe of which we have knowledge is called the observable universe, the region around Earth from which light has had time to reach us. Until recently, cosmologists (the scientists who study the universe) assumed that the rate of the universe’s expansion was slowing because of the effects of gravity. However, current research indicates that the universe may expand to eternity.
What can we Learn from Nature
What can we learn from nature? Does not nature show that growth and expansion are a constant? For example what would happen if you took a hand full of a number of species of tree seeds and cast them out onto the soil in a field of 1000 acres? In 10 years there would be a number of trees of each species because the trees had reproduced making more trees. In 20 years you would have many times more than double the amount of trees of each species. In a hundred years you would have many acres of trees because each year they expand exponentially.
In a few hundred years you would have a forest that could surpass the 1000 acres and would continue to expand that way indefinably as long as there was soil and nutrients to feed from. Now think of the universe in terms of that forest that started from a point of singularity. Imagine the trees represent galaxies and the seeds it produces as stars, dark matter as the soil, and dark energy as the nutrients in the soil. Doesn't it stand to reason that as long as there is dark mater and energy to fuel the stars, the universe would expand exponentially indefinably, only time will tell.
The Big Question many Scientist are asking, is what Existed Before the Big Bang?
More Stars then Grains of Sand on Earth
Scientist have estimate that there are more stars in the universe then grains of sand on the earth. The core temperature of our sun is 27-million degrees. It has been estimated that the temperature of the mass of condensed energy at the beginning of the universe was 100-nonillion degrees.
Energy Source behind the Universe Supernatural
The Hubble Deep Field, an extremely long exposure of a relatively empty part of the sky, provided evidence that there are about 125 billion galaxies made up of billions of stars each in the observable universe. 100-nonillion is 1800-billion, billion, billion degrees. The only word in the human language to describe that kind of energy is Supernational.
