The Physical Geography of the Sea

–MATTHEW FONTAINE MAURY (LEWIS 1927)

“I have been blamed by men of science, both in this country and in England, for quoting

the Bible in confirmation of the doctrines of physical geography. The Bible, they say, was

not written for scientific purposes, and is therefore no authority in matters of science. I

beg pardon! The Bible is authority for everything it touches. What would you think of an historian who should refuse to consult historical records of the Bible, because the Bible was not written for the purposes of

history? The Bible is true and science is true.”

THE UNIVERSE IS EXPANDING

• Isaiah 40:22, “He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.“

• 1931, Einstein changes his ideas of a static universe after speaking with Edwin Hubble

• Hubble’s Law

GOOD IDEAS VS. TRUTH

• Law versus Theory

• A Law is proven, tried and true, indisputable

• A Theory is an idea that cannot be proven and cannot or has not been disproven

• Examples

• The story of Uzzah (2 Samuel 6:6)

–C.S. LEWIS

“If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of

organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere

accidents—the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the

thoughts of materialists and astronomers as well as anyone else’s. But if their thoughts—i.e., of

materialism and astronomy—are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be

true? I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct

account of all the other accidents.”

3 LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS

1.Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, thus total energy output is equal to the heat supplied (Enthalpy)

2.Systems tend to chaos (Entropy), thus in order to maintain a continual flow of heat you must continue to add energy

3.All systems cease as they approach absolute zero (0K)

TEST ALL THINGS

“Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because

many false prophets have gone out into

the world.”

1 JOHN 4:1

EVOLUTION AGAINST LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS

1.Energy cannot be created nor destroyed: so how did a cataclysmic explosion create something out of nothing? If there was nothing—i.e., no energy—what was the catalyst made of?

2.Systems tend to chaos: if the Big Bang succeeded in creating the energy necessary for matter, what source of energy provided the means to bring order in an infinitely large universe

CREATION & THERMODYNAMICS

• In Genesis 1 the words “evening” and “morning” follow the Laws of Thermodynamics

• erev = evening = chaos

• boker = morning = order

• We have an energy source in the voice of G-d

–MATTHEW FONTAINE MAURY (LEWIS 1927)

“I beg pardon! The Bible is authority for everything it touches. . . . The Bible is true

and science is true.”
